The Communication Based Train Control(CBTC) System generally used to improving existing lines in the world is efficient and stable for improvement. Also it is efficient for improvement because it does not cause any problems in operation of existing lines. We examined the mixed operation scheme for more efficient and stable improvement when improvement is implemented depending on aged equipment and the increased number of passengers in the Korean city railroad. The biggest point in the mixed operation is to implement a stable test without interfering with the operation of the existing lines. For this purpose, we deduced a method of installing the equipment, a method of testing depending on the installed equipment, and the types of mixed operation, and presented a scheme of execution of the methods depending on the mixed operation.

In this study, an approach that installs seismic isolation bearings was proposed for the seismic retrofit of the existing bridges. The method that replaces all existing bearings with seismic isolators was proposed already. However, in this study, we recommend to utilize the existing bearings for the benefit of safety and cost. According to our proposal, the seismic isolators do not support vertical loads but they just function as the period shifter and the horizontal damper. To verify this approach experimentally, the real scale bearings and isolators for the real highway bridges were designed and fabricated. And the responses of this isolated bridges to the assumed earthquakes were determined by the pseudo dynamic test scheme. The test results were also compared to the responses computed by the well known structural analysis software to check the reliability of the test. From the test results, we found that the retrofitted bridges using the proposed method showed stable performances under earthquakes.

The existing defect management is focused on step before closing work, a builder preliminary research and tenant preliminary research. Each step is not related. And the existing study on defect management mainly classify into work type and defect type according to work type. This study divide into defect part. Also this study propose PDA based web and 3DCAD for improving method of existing defect management.

Remote sensing data processing and analysis system can be developed based on the Grid Coverage Specification and this kind of system is also can be easily interoperate with GIS systems conforming OpenGIS specification. This paper proposes a method to implement easily and quickly the new grid coverages that provide new operations, or services, by reusing the existing grid coverage components, which is based on the fact that the pipeline constructed by grid coverages can be represented in one grid coverage. This method complements easily the deficiency of the existing grid coverage components and enables quick implementation of the new grid coverage that provides complex processing operations.

In the past few decades, the global population growth and rapid economic development have resulted in significant increases in building energy consumption. To reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and building energy consumption, building materials and energy technologies must be optimized. Building retrofitting is a more efficient method than reconstruction to improve the building energy performance. In order to improve the energy performance of existing buildings, this study proposed energy-efficiency retrofit plans and derived cost-effective retrofit plan. The energy efficient retrofit method is achieved through the packaging of energy technology and the energy and cost reduction effect of the energy efficiency retrofit package are analyzed. As a result of the study, the energy-efficiency retrofit package showed an energy reduction effect of up to 60% or more and a construction cost reduction of about 30%. This study argues that optimal energy and construction cost reduction of existing buildings are possible through the packaging of energy efficiency technology.

In existing mobile computing environments, users need to choose between their privacy and the services that they can receive from an application. However, existing mobile platforms do not allow users to perform such trade-offs in a fine-grained manner. In this study, we investigate whether users can effectively make utility-privacy trade-offs when they are provided with a multilevel privacy control method that allows them to recognize the different quality of service that they will receive from an application by limiting the disclosure of their private information in multiple levels. We designed a research model to observe users' utility-privacy trade-offs in accordance with the privacy control methods and other factors such as the trustworthiness of an application, quality level of private information, and users' privacy preferences. We conducted a user survey with 516 participants and found that, compared with the existing binary privacy controls, both the service utility and the privacy protection levels were significantly increased when the users used the multilevel privacy control method.

This study was conducted (i) to recommend the high-scored education method as a adaptable method, and (ii) to find the most influential factor among the three acceptability components (feasibility factor, stimulation factor and reliability factor) to urban or rural residents. The accept-ability score of each health education method currently existing in urban and rural area was estimated. A total of 257 households in Guro 6-dong, Seoul, and 233 households in Jeomdong-myeon, Yeoju-gun, were sampled by interview survey using questionnaire. The four types of health education methods used in this study are; printed matter method, mailing service method. personal contact method, and group contact method. The major findings obtained from this research are as follows; 1) In urban area, the highest-scored in terms of acceptability is the personal contact method, followed by the mailing service, the printed matter, and the group contact. The mailing service method is found to be effective especially for the intelligent group people. 2) In rural area, the highest-scored in terms of acceptability is also the personal contact method, followed by the group contact, and printed matter method. In general, the group contact method is effective toward both urban-poor and rural housewives (especially in stimulation factor). To improve the health consciousness of the residents, there arises the need for the existing education program into better organized and diversified one and for educating health-educators by providing in-depth health knowledge.

The purpose of settlement management when treating soft ground through preloading is to determine the amount of settlement, check the progression of consolidation, and compare the settlement with the target settlement amount. Of the various methods available for predicting settlement based on measured data, the hyperbolic method was used in this study to analyze the settlement behavior of soft ground considering the creep behavior resulting from staged fill. Two versions of the method were used: the existing hyperbolic method, and a modified hyperbolic method. The existing hyperbolic method predicts the settlement amount using data for the final settlement section only during soft ground treatment through staged fill, for which the coefficient of consolidation behavior (k) was computed to give a predicted final consolidation settlement amount of S_r = 1.05 cm. In comparison, using the modified method, a predicted final consolidation settlement of S_r = 0.50 cm is obtained by considering the data for each staged fill section. These results show that the modified method considering data from the staged settlement was more accurate than the existing method considering data only from the final settlement section. This modification to the hyperbolic method therefore represents an improvement in performance over the existing method.

In the latest we will make a demand for the precision position estimation for the Mobile-station(MS)'s position. But, we have a lot of problems the position estimation method using the existing method. The Base-station(BS) measure a distance according to time delay waves to receive propagate from the MS and estimate the position using the existing circle equation with method to be selected BSs in close proximity the MS. It knows that happens a lot of error the estimated position and the true position. This paper propose that the method is selected round BSs to estimate for MS's position and estimated the angle using the second law of cosine. This paper demonstrate that using simulation the proposal method is a predominant method to compare with the existing method.
