The positioning technology for a moving object is an important and essential component of ubiquitous computing environment and applications, for which Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) has been considered as a core technology. RFID-based positioning system calculates the position of moving object based on k-nearest neighbor(k-nn) algorithm using detected k-tags which have known coordinates and kcan be determined according to the detection range of RFID system. In this paper, RFID-based positioning system determines the position of moving object not using weight factor which depends on received signal strength but assuming that tags within the detection range always operate and have same weight value. Because the latter system is much more economical than the former one. The geometries of tags were determined with considerations in huge buildings like office buildings, shopping malls and warehouses, so they were determined as the line in I-Dimensional space, the square in 2-Dimensional space. In 1-Dimensional space, the optimal detection range is determined as 125% of the tag spacing distance through the analytical and numerical approach. Here, the analytical approach means a mathematical proof and the numerical approach means a simulation using matlab. But the analytical approach is very difficult in 2-Dimensional space, so through the numerical approach, the optimal detection range is determined as 134% of the tag spacing distance in 2-Dimensional space. This result can be used as a fundamental study for designing RFID-based positioning system.

The positioning technology for a moving object is an important and essential component of ubiquitous communication computing environment and applications, for which Radio Frequency IDentification Identification(RFID) is has been considered as also a core technology for ubiquitous wireless communication. RFID-based positioning system calculates the position of moving object based on k-nearest neighbor(k-nn) algorithm using detected k-tags which have known coordinates and k can be determined according to the detection range of RFID system. In this paper, RFID-based positioning system determines the position of moving object not using weight factor which depends on received signal strength but assuming that tags within the detection range always operate and have same weight value. Because the latter system is much more economical than the former one. The geometries of tags were determined with considerations in huge buildings like office buildings, shopping malls and warehouses, so they were determined as the line in 1-Dimensional space, the square in 2-Dimensional space and the cubic in 3-Dimensional space. In 1-Dimensional space, the optimal detection range is determined as 125% of the tag spacing distance through the analytical and numerical approach. Here, the analytical approach means a mathematical proof and the numerical approach means a simulation using matlab. But the analytical approach is very difficult in 2- and 3-Dimensional space, so through the numerical approach, the optimal detection range is determined as 134% of the tag spacing distance in 2-Dimensional space and 143% of the tag spacing distance in 3-Dimensional space. This result can be used as a fundamental study for designing RFID-based positioning system.

Geotechnical information database, foundation of underground geographic information system in 2nd NGIS plan, had been developing by Ministry of Construction and Transportation since 2000. This database contains not only soil condition, such as depth, type and color of layer, and ground water level, but also engineering properties used for foundation design and construction, for instance, standard penetration test, compression test. But, it is difficult to apply this database for analyzing and designing geotechnical works, because report document is only offered. In this paper, we have developed web-based geospatial information system for the effective uses. First, underground cross-section model is generated by location, layer, and engineering properties of geotechnical information database at the realtime process. Second, earth volume, bearing capacity, and settlement is calculated and potentials of soft ground, liquefaction are evaluated through pre-defined empirical formula. This process is operated by web-based client. We wish to strengthen the application capacity through this system in construction planning and design works.

The outbreaks of red tide were sporadic in the South Sea until 1994, but have become frequent and widespread in whole coastal waters of the South Sea and East Sea since 1995 For monitoring of red tide, many kinds of techniques such as remote sensing, GIS and fuzzy model system have been developed and applied. The purpose of this paper is to develop red tide monitoring system for collection of red tide data and biological-oceanography parameters using wireless sensor network. The wireless sensor network has been noticed as a core technology in order to realize ubiquitous computing. In this paper, we design red tide database using wireless sensor network and suggest red tide monitoring software and web-service for user and biological-oceanographer.

Roadside trees that are managed by the local government play important roles to enhance the city lifestyle in many ways. However, because of insufficient human resources that monitor fields and regulations, most roadside trees were left unprotected and lacked the professional management. Also, due to the lack of financial support, pesticides or treatments have rarely been done in a proper time. To solve this existing matter, we have proposed concrete methods that include a latest communication technology, and developed an on-site management system and a web-monitoring system for roadside trees. Our successful research includes efficient approaches to identify an individual tree and integration of both field works and internal work processes with wireless communications and web displays to monitor the roadside trees.

With development of the earth's subsurface space, the need for a reliable subsurface spatial model such as a cross-section, boring log is increasing. However, the ground mass was essentially uncertain. To generate model was uncertain because of the shortage of data and the absence of geotechnical interpretation standard(non-statistical uncertainty) as well as field environment variables(statistical uncertainty). Therefore, the current interpretation of the data and the generation of the model were accomplished by a highly trained experts. In this study, a geotechnical ontology model was developed using the current expert experience and knowledge, and the information content was calculated in the ontology hierarchy. After the relative distance between the information contents in the ontology model was combined with the distance between cluster centers, a cluster analysis that considered the geotechnical semantics was performed. In a comparative test of the proposed method, k-means method, and expert's interpretation, the proposed method is most similar to expert's interpretation, and can be 3D-GIS visualization through easily handling massive data. We expect that the proposed method is able to generate the more reasonable subsurface spatial information model without geotechnical experts' help.

홍수 방류량 하류 도달시간 산정은 댐운영 및 홍수예경보의 기초자료로 인식되고 있어 정확한 유하시간 산정이 필요하다. 수자원공사에서는 댐 방류에 따른 하류도달시간을 댐운영실무편람('06)에 있는 자료를 활용하여 댐 운영에 활용하고 있다. 금강 하류부의 경우 '97년 금강홍수예경보 자료를 활용하고 있으나, 수치모형 결과 자료로 실측에 의한 검증이 이루어지지 않았다. 댐 방류수에 대한 하류도달 시간에 대한 실측 기술을 확보하여 실측을 통한 수치모형의 검증 및 보완 필요하며, 보정된 수치모형을 이용한 홍수도달시간 실시간 예측을 통한 댐운영의 효율성 확보 및 대내외 검증된 결과 제시가 요구되고 있다. 현재 댐 방류에 따른 하류도달 시간에 대한 실측이 요구되고 있으나, 관련 기술에 대한 국내외 개발 및 적용 사례가 전무한 실정으로 본 연구에서는 현장계측과 수치모형을 연계한 신뢰성 높은 도달시간을 분석하는 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 장구간 내에서 홍수의 흐름과 동일하게 하천에 흘러갈 수 있는 부유물을 개발하였으며, 주야간에 상관없어 주요 계측지점에서 도달시간 산정을 위해 자동 인식될 수 있는 센서기술을 개발하였다. 또한, 인식된 센서를 안정적으로 통신망에 연동하여 실시간 계측이 가능하며, GIS 기반의 원격 모니터링이 가능하도록 시스템을 구성하였다. 나아가. 기존 수치모형에 의존하여 예측된 도달시간 산정방법을 개선하기 위하여 수치모형의 매개변수를 검보정을 위한 시계열 및 지속적으로 자료를 취득하였다. 이러한 센서기술, 모니터링기술, 분석기술을 융합하여 향후 매개변수를 보정한 홍수도달시간 수치모형을 이용하여 신뢰성 높은 예측결과를 홍수예경보 및 댐 운영에 있어 활용함으로써 홍수재해로부터 안전성을 확보하고 물관리의 효율화를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

There are many problems and limits in equipments being used for traffic-volume analysis in the country. And traffic-volume information acquired through existing equipments is not provided in real-time. In the case of urban, there are limits on guarantee of trust on comprehending a appropriate road-volume because of difficulty on analyzing traffic-volume density and time series. And it is difficult to applicate in deciding a road policy as existing equipments don't provide the control information of traffic-flow. Therefore, it is necessary to build a road-flow policy rapidly and accurately through the road-flow information that analyze post-processed statistics data using traffic-flow investigation based on real time. In this study, we developed TICS(Traffic Information Collection System) based on GPS which could transmit traffic information transformed from car location information to traffic control center. And we developed TCS(Traffic Control System) based on Web GIS, which could manage and analyze transmitted traffic information, and it could offer handled road-flow information to Web-site in realtime.

In Web2.0 environment, with advanced platform technologies, global vendors such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo provide competitive geospatial services based on global map and satellite image. But the relatively low level of platform technologies has not rapidly increased the land information and geospatial service markets in Korea. For the ubiquitous next generation Internet, as a one of the R&D projects by Korean Land Spatialization Group, the project for platform technologies has being made to provide customized land information and geospatial service. The platform technologies can be categorized for streamming, mashup and geosearch. More specifically, the 2D/3D Hybird streamming engine, mashup engine for u-GIS service and next generation search engine for land information have being developed. In this context, the strategies for efficient development and use of geoweb platform technologies are required. This study surveys the present geospatial products and services using of platform technologies to propose the strategies for efficient development and use of platform technologies. The strategies for efficient development and use of platform technologies can be proposed focusing on target market and each of platform technologies.

The Korean Government recognized that the importance of spatial information market is promoting Korean Land Spatialization Program(KLSP) to commercialize and practice of the technology. For achieve this purpose, KLSP is planning to build test-bed for field test, integration, display of outcomes. The most important problem in this process is reasonable decision of location. In this paper, the subject is to find how to decide efficiently in locating facilities to test Geospatial information technology like KLSP Test-bed. Consequently, we look over some cases of the inside and outside of the country, and analyze property of outcomes to apply the test-bed. And then we find assessment items for locating.
