  • Natural hazards, including the wind hazard and others, threaten the integrity of the modern society. A transportation system usually consists of roadways, bridges and related vehicles. Harsh environmental conditions, caused by such as wind, exist in the real world frequently and affect the dynamic performance of the transportation system through their interactions. Long-span bridges are usually the backbones of transportation lines. In windy conditions, the information about the dynamic performance of bridges and vehicles considering full interactions of environmental factors is very essential for people to assess the overall operational conditions and safety risks of the transportation lines. Most of existent approaches target specifically at several isolated tasks considering partial interaction effects. In order to improve the understanding of these related-in-nature problems integrally as well as the consistency of different approaches, a unified approach to integrally predict the dynamic performance of long-span bridges and vehicles under wind is introduced. Such an approach can be used as a general platform to predict the dynamic responses of vehicles and bridges under various situations through adopting both commercial and in-house software. Dynamic interaction effects can be fully considered automatically for each situation. An example of a prototype bridge in US is given for the purpose of demonstration.

  • Level 3 autonomous vehicles require conditional autonomous driving in which autonomous and manual driving are alternately performed; whether the driver can resume manual driving within a limited time should be examined. This study investigates whether the demographics and subjective driving tendencies of drivers affect the take-over performance. We measured and analyzed the reengagement and stabilization time after a take-over request from the autonomous driving system to manual driving using a vehicle simulator that supports the driver's take-over mechanism. We discovered that the driver's reengagement and stabilization time correlated with the speeding and wild driving tendency as well as driving workload questionnaires. To verify the efficiency of subjective questionnaire information, we tested whether the driver with slow or fast reengagement and stabilization time can be detected based on machine learning techniques and obtained results. We expect to apply these results to training programs for autonomous vehicles' users and personalized human-vehicle interfaces for future autonomous vehicles.

  • The Korean government has been pursuing many supporting programs to enhance the competition of water transportation companies in recent years. To implement the policies effectively, which needs its monitering and evaluates about their business performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the business performance of water transportation company groups and determine the outranking between the groups using the Integrated Fuzzy AHP-PROMETHEE.. To achieve this purpose, first, the companies were classified into seven alternative company groups and the criteria for their evaluation was extracted Second, the weights of the criteria, by maritime and port expert survey, were calculated using the Fuzzy AHP. This paper, finally, determined the total priority orders of their company groups as the link Fuzzy PROMETHEE II with weights of the criteria and the local priority orders between them using the Fuzzy PROMETHEE I. In the proposal for this model, thus was collected four criteria such as growth ability, beneficial ability, technical ability, and productive ability. Through the result of this evaluation, the other marine transportation services group was determined as the highest outranking but the inland passenger & cargo transportation services group was lowest. Thus, the developing plan of the productive ability for the other marine transportation services group should be reviewed to continue its good performance, and all off the criteria for the inland passenger & cargo transportation services group to raise the performance should be reviewed.

  • This paper shows the recent changes of national transportation policies in some developed countries and argues that the evaluation method of the effect of transportation investment on national economy should be improved to reveal real impact of the investment. The evaluation method should develope effective performance indicators of the goals set in national transportation policy. To estimate correctly the magnitude of transportation services in national economy, the evaluation method also provides a way to measure in-house transportation services and to overcome the limits of marginal effect equal equation.

  • Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and analyse the change on muscular strength and exercise performance ability of university students participating in leisure sports by elastic-band exercise program. Method : The subjects(N=22) participating in leisure sports are recruited from K university located in Chungbuk. The subjects which are divided to 2 groups as experimental group(N=11) conducted elastic-band exercise program and control group(N=11) conducted stretching program. The muscular strength and exercise performance ability were measured before and after intervention. Result : There were no significant differences(p>.05) in sex, age, height, and weight among subjects. In the measurement of muscular strength, a significant difference(p<.05) was observed in each group, and there was also significant difference(p<.05) between two groups except gastrocnemius(p>.05). A significant difference(p<.05) in muscular volume was observed in each group, and there was also significant difference(p<.05) between two groups apart from gastrocnemius(p>.05). In exercise performance ability, there was significant difference(p<.05) in sergent jump and side-step in each group, and there was a significant difference(p<.05) between two groups in sergent jump, but there was no significant difference(p>0.5) in side-step. Conclusion : Based on this study, through a variety of age and various intervention period to apply more subjects conducting elastic-band exercise program should continue.

  • Transportation allocation requires information such as storage location and order information. In order to guarantee the safe transmission and real-time sharing of information in all links, an intelligent transportation control system based on blockchain technology is designed. Firstly, the technical architecture of intelligent transportation information traceability blockchain and the overall architecture of intelligent transportation control system were designed. Secondly, the transportation management demand module and storage demand management module were designed, and the control process of each module was given. Then, the type of intelligent transportation vehicle was defined, the objective function of intelligent transportation control was designed, and the objective function of intelligent transportation control was constructed. Finally, the intelligent transportation control was realized by genetic algorithm. It was found that when the transportation order volume was 50×103, and the CPU occupancy of the designed system was only 11.8%. The reliability attenuation of the code deletion scheme was lower, indicating better performance of the designed system.

  • We manufactured double pancake type windings with BSCCO wire for 1MVA HTS transformer. To verify cracks of HTS wire and performance of manufactured windings, the transportation current was measured. In this paper, we present result of the transportation current test as a DC current and compare a drop of current performance of HTS wire due to tension and rounding during the manufacturing with technical data. We obtained good results and this will be useful for another manufacturing of HTS winding

  • Nowaday OECD countries actively introduce the performance audit to evaluate the performance of public policies. Motivated by the current trend in practice, this paper presents performance audit indices and methodology developed for evaluating the transportation investment projects and policies. The main contribution of this study would be twofold:1) key performance indices, 5Es + 4Cs rule, and methodology of performance audit are derived from foreign (GAO, NAO) and domestic (BAI) audit reports; 2) checklists (key issues and focuses) of performance audit are suggested as ranks. It is also suggested that further studies are needed to maintain the indices and the methodology to achieve sustainable performance of transportation projects and policies.
