VMS(Variable Message Sign) helps drivers to choose their path to destinations on roadways. Some types of VMS often provide traffic information with clearly visible and comprehensible graphical route diagrams. Currently many diagramed types of VMS are installed on urban arterial and highways. This type of VMS surely enhances drivers' ability to comprehend traffic route information while they are driving on the roadway. Nevertheless, some of them are presented with so much information and design elements and they sometimes lead to decline of drivers' comprehensible level for traffic information. Drivers would fail to decide their preferable route in this state of information overflow. The purpose of this paper is to develop a drivers preference model for effective design principle including size and height of displaying font, and the amount of information in the route diagram considering driving speed, sex and age of the driver. This model is developed using structural equation modeling techniques. This model considers driver's emotional factor and, human factor and design component of route diagram. To collect data, we built driving simulator which is able to replicate real driving condition. 72 people who participated in the simulation were selected considering gender and age. The developed model showed that the amount of information, and visibility are more influential factors to the drivers' preference of the route diagram on VMS than design elements such as the shape and the font of the diagram.

Although the demand of Variable Message Sign(VMS) has become pervasive in fulfilling the ITS policy, there are still several unsolved problematic issues. The most critical ones of them are inequality and inefficiency of providing traffic information. This paper proposes the Infra-free Variable Message Sign in order to provide useful informations such as road condition, weather, and traffic of the area, where constructing the infrastructure of communication and power supply is relatively very hard. First of all, the characteristics of infra-free Variable Message Sign are studied and analyzed in deep because of differences between normal Variable Message Sign and Infra-free Variable Message Sign in the configuration and the operating method due to the nature of the Infra-free Variable Message Sign. Futhermore, for effective power management of operating Infra-free Variable Message Sign with limited power acquired through stand-alone PV system, new battery connection structure and dynamically variable power managements for the differently shown messages on Variable Message Sign are proposed. The proposed structure in this paper can be applied to not only power management for Infra-free Variable Message Sign but also power management for the various applications using parallel connection battery system.

This paper aims to evaluate the freeway traffic management Strategy based on exTMS according to traffic situation of freeway. As freeway user's demands increase, we thus need future-oriented and optimized traffic management. So, through improving the existing system and introducing the advanced system, these systems evaluate for not only preparing the application in real world but also preliminary feasibility. To evaluate effects of the traffic management based on exTMS, in this study, shoulder LCS, advanced VMS(assumption in it is improving next-generation system which it can be offering diverse dynamic traffic information), Ramp-metering system are applicated in simulation. In addition, this study evaluates the effect when all proposed systems are applicated, and compare the individual effect of when independent system is applicated, through considering about traffic condition of V/C=0.5, V/C=0.8, V/C=1.2. The study results show that all assumed cases, the travel speed were improved according to the increasing V/C. Furthermore, the results of evaluated the individual system show that the shoulder LCS was found to be the largest effect, and the effect of VMS(detour rate is 11%) is larger than the other cases.

Recently, virtualization has become an essential component of cloud computing due to its various strengths, including maximizing server resource utilization, easy-to-maintain software, and enhanced data protection. However, since virtualization allows sharing physical resources among the VMs, the system performance can be deteriorated due to device contentions. In this paper, we first investigate the I/O overhead based on the number of VMs on the same server platform and analyze the block I/O process of the KVM hypervisor. We also propose an in-memory block cache mechanism, called QBic, to overcome I/O virtualization latency. QBic is capable of monitoring the block I/O process of the hypervisor and stores the data with a high access frequency in the cache. As a result, QBic provides a fast response for VMs and reduces the I/O contention to physical devices. Finally, we present a performance measurement of QBic to verify its effectiveness.

가상화는 가상의 자원이 물리적 자원에 접근할 수 있게 해주는 기술이며 VM(가상머신)을 다수 설치하여 VM의 수만큼 운영체제들을 이용할 수 있다. 이러한 가상화는 자원의 낭비를 막고 관리비용을 줄이기 위해 사용한다. 가상화 기술은 CPU, 메모리, I/O 가상화로 구분 지을 수 있으며 이 중 메모리 가상화 기술은 메모리 자원의 효율적인 사용을 가능하게 해준다. 여러 VM들이 실제 머신의 메모리보다 많은 메모리를 할당받아 사용하는 것이 가능한데 이것을 오버커밋 상태라고 한다. 중첩 가상화는 VM에 하드웨어 가상화 기법의 사용을 허용하게 하여 VM 위에 또 다른 VM이 동작할 수 있는 환경을 제공해준다. 이와 같은 (중첩) 가상화 환경에서의 메모리 접근은 일반적으로 하드웨어 지원을 통한 중첩 페이징 기법을 이용하여 메모리의 접근이 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 오버커밋 발생 시 중첩 VM과 하이퍼바이저 VM의 성능 차이를 실험을 통하여 보여주고자 한다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate traffic management strategies using Variable Message Signs(MCS) on urban freeways. It is well known that real-time information on traffic conditions increases driver's comfort, and reduces the risks of accidents if drivers are aware of the traffic situation in advance, they decide whether to divert from the freeway or continue on the planned route. The experimental data collected on the Olympic highway we have shown the following results : 1. when the information on both the congested freeway and uncontested diversion route is displayed on the variable message sign. an additional 1.7 percent of traffic diverted, which results in a 3.7 percent reduction in total travel time. 2 Compared with one Proposed VMS message of 'reduce the speed', the other Proposed VMS message of 'keep speed 70km/h' is found to be much more effective in reducing mean speed.

This paper is aims to build the advancement structural model of GICOMS through identification of required system and improvement for implementation of e-Navigation. We derived nine improvement subject for model of advanced GICOMS through the analysis of problems for GICOMS and brainstorming with expert in the maritime safety. And we analyzed the structure of nine improvement subject using by FSM(Fuzzy Structural Modeling) method, and proposed a structural model that to grasp the correlation between elements. As a result, we found out that "advancement of GICOMS" is the final goal, and "improvement a system of information production", "improvement a scheme of information providing", "linkage between GICOMS and VTS" and "building global networks for safety cooperation" are located lowest level. Especially, "advancement of GICOMS" is influenced by "advancement function of VMS" and "Activation of usage" on middle level. We suggested that utilizing state-of-the-art IT facilities, equipment and expertise to improve and enhance the user-centered transition such as maritime workers for advancement of GICOMS based on proposed structure model.
