Traffic-related environmental factors (TREF) are a major problem in developed countries, leading to increased atopic sensitivity, allergy symptoms, and diseases. This study shows an association between traffic-related pollutants, distance of road and gas station from the children's daycare center, and allergy symptoms. Data was obtained from the 2018 survey, an ongoing allergic diseases prevalence survey for children aged 4-7 (n=1175). This survey considered 36 public daycare centers, across 6 districts in Seoul. Allergic symptoms were defined as the presence of at least 1 or more allergic diseases (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC)). TREF was derived from the distance to the nearest main roads and gas stations. Geographic data processing and variable computation were conducted using ArcGIS version 10.2. The odds ratios for allergy symptoms increased by 1.189 (1.235-2.679) times with decreasing distance to main roads and by 1.846 (1.176-2.896) times with decreasing distance to a gas station. This study concludes that main roads and gas-stations near children's daycare centers are related to the allergy symptoms in children.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is a promising solution for mitigating road traffic congestion. ICT allows road users and vehicles to be managed based on real-time road status information. In Tanzania, traffic congestion causes losses of TZS 655 billion per year. The main objective of this study was to develop an optimal approach for integrating real-time road information (RRI) to mitigate traffic congestion. Our research survey focused on three cities that are highly affected by traffic congestion, i.e., Arusha, Mwanza, and Dar es Salaam. The results showed that ICT is not yet utilized fully to solve road traffic congestion. Thus, we established a possible approach for Tanzania based on an analysis of road traffic data provided by organizations responsible for road traffic management and road users. Furthermore, we evaluated the available road information management techniques to test their suitability for use in Tanzania. Using the floating car data technique, fuzzy logic was implemented for real-time traffic level detection and decision making. Based on this solution, we propose a RRI system architecture, which considers the effective utilization of readily available communication technology in Tanzania.

Based on the results of the internet service survey, the traffic demand forecasts of the AO/DI internet service and N-ISDN service have been performed for each channel(B-channel and D-channel). These traffic forecasts can be used as useful input data for investigating packet processing capacity of the TDX-10A switching system and suggesting guideline for capacity increasement.

In this paper, we survey traffic control issues for the B-ISDN based on the ATM. We first investigate traffic descriptors to represent the characteristics of various ATM traffics in a standardized form. Also, we examine key issues related to the connection admission control, usage parameter control, network parameter control, priority control, and congestion control.

As a part of acoustical design, it is often necessary to quantify aspects of an existing environment and to predict the result of adding an acoustical treatment. The most common sources of exterior noise, also termed as environmental noise,(or community noise) are traffic noise, air craft noise, industrial noise, etc. Transportation(air, road, and rail)noise is the dominant and most common source of noise exposure in residential neighborhoods, and the annoyance is its most consequential effect. The road traffic noise becomes aggravated due to the rapid increase of vehicles. It has a great effect on the dwelling environment. Therefore we investigate the characteristics and sources of the road traffic noise through grasping the status of the road traffic noise. In the present study, preceding studies investigated the noise level of urban areas in Seoul were reviewed and the noise level of urban areas in Seoul was measured at first, fifth, tenth, and nineteenth floor for two days of weekdays and two days of weekend.

This study aims to seize the differences in drivers' attitudes and to speculate about the attitudes which may be causally related to traffic accidents based on data collected from group survey questionnaire in the four countries. The questionnaire was composed of 9 problem areas and prepared in Japanese English and Korean languages. The survey was conducted in Japan Canada U.S.A and Korea in 1987 The present study analysed the driver's attitudes toward behaviour of pedestrians traffic signal and causes of traffic accidents. The main results are :(1) The order of high percentage of those who cited the pedestrians as major cause of accidents was Korea Japan, Canada and U,S,A This markes the very high number of accidents involving pedestrians in Korea. (2) The percentage of who answered that most drivers started before the sign changed to Go sign at an intersection were higher in Japan and Korea than in U.S.A (3) Regarding the caues of accidents if the drivers were to meet with an accident the percentage of responses attributing faults to themselves for the accident was very high in Japan. Korea came next. In contrast the percentage of responses attributing faults to others is higher in Canada and U.S.A than Japan and Korea.

본 연구는 도로상에 설치, 유지·관리되는 교통안전시설 관련업무체계의 개선방안을 모색함에 그 목적이 있다. 현재 교통안전시설 관련업무는 예산과 대다수 인력은 지방자치단체에서 지원되나, 업무의 주관은 중앙행정기관인 경찰이 수행하는 이원화된 체계로 인하여 많은 문제점이 유발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 델파이기법을 이용하여 교통안전시설 관련 업무체계의 문제점을 분석하고 개선방안을 제시하였다. 설문결과는 설문대상자 전체 또는 이해관계그룹별로 분석하였으며, 다차원척도법을 이용하여 하나의 지각도상에 표현하여 분석하기도 하였다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 할 때, 교통안전시설 관련업무체계는 일원화되어야 하는 바, 구체적으로는 지방자치단체내에 전문기관이 설립, 운영되는 것이 최적대안으로 제시되었으며, 교통경찰을 지방경찰화하는 것이 차선대안으로 제시되었다.

부산 북항 접근 수역은 입출항 선박의 교통량이 많고 바람으로 인한 풍압력과 조류의 영향으로 횡압류가 작용하여 선박 운항자 가항행에 큰 부담을 느끼는 해역이다. 해당 해역에 대한 통항 선박의 해상교통조사 실시 결과 다수의 선박이 협소한 방파제 사이를 안전하게 진입하기 위해서 입항 항로의 경계를 벗어나 항행하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부산항 제1항로 진입항로의 선박 통항 안전성을 증대시키기 위하여, 교통조사를 통한 통항선박의 항적 분석 및 진입항로에 대한 통항 개선을 위한 선박조종시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 선박조종 시뮬레이션은 현행 통항분리대 방식과 진입 선박의 통항 개선을 위해 도출된 두 가지 통항분리대 개선안에 대해 각각 실시하여, 그 결과를 분석 평가함으로써 항로 개선안의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 부산항 제1항로 접근 해역에서의 통항안전과 해양사고 예방을 위한 방안으로 수심 준설 구간, 예인선 및 예부선의 통항 확보 방안 및 해군 함정에 대한 관제 강화 등을 제안한다.

A point based speed enforcement system(SES) has been widely used in roadways to reduce the operating speeds and potential traffic accidents. Recently, the needs for introudcing new SES using point-to-point speed measurement was presented, however, no practical guidelines or justification of the system was available. This study investigated the effectiveness of the current SES and introduction of the new SES through user interview survey method. Survey results showed that 33% of respondents were unsatisfactory to the current way of SES operation, which was 11% higher than satisfactory respondents, and about 70% of the respondents supported the introduction of point-to-point based SES operation. A majority of respondents preferred the straight roadway segment, bridge and tunnel, and curved roadway segment for a start application site with the segment length of 1-5 km long. Using these survey results, an introduction scheme was discussed in terms of legal bases, installation criteria, and operational guidelines.
