  • The traditional Aids to Navigations(AtoN) have been ensuring the safety of ships by indicating the passage and dangers by depending on the flashing lights. But the more the industrial complex behind port which is all over the country involving the Ulsan port developed, the more the lights behind port is stronger, and then the distinguishment of the signal of AtoN from the lights behind port is more difficult. And It is urgently needed to prepare the counterplan about the ensurement of safety because the authorities levels up the limit tonnage of the ships which are sail in and out during night to improve the operation of port through reducing of the traffic jam So, the method of direct lighting like LED non-neon is applied to unmanned lighthouses or light beacon, and the LED flashing number plate is applied to light buoys whose light power is weaker than to improve distinguishment and to be easy positioning of ships. As a result, the users of Ulsan port comment favorably on this item and the development of AtoN must be continuos to overcome the lights behind port.

  • The objective of this research is to evaluate the pedestrian signal time involving green and flashing green times. The minimum pedestrian green indication should give time for pedestrian to start crossing safely, and the flashing green indication should give time to complete the crossing. An average pedestrian crossing speed of 1.1(m/s) was estimated by analyzing the field data which was slower than the 1.2(m/s) currently used. Furthermore, the study proposed that design speed for the flashing green time should be slow speed for considerations pedestrian safety, not the average speed. The 0.78-1.01(m/s) of pedestrian speed was estimated at the elementary school areas that indicated 0.2(m/s) slower than the other areas. The pedestrian starting time (perception/reaction time) and time headway from front to back of herd was estimated to determine minimum pedestrian green time. the pedestrian starting time was estimated to determine minimum pedestrian green time. The pedestrian starting time was ranged 2.52-4.29 seconds. The time interval between the pedestrian rows was found to be 1.25-1.86 seconds, which declines as the pedestrian rows increases, The equation to calculate the pedestrian signal, which declines as the pedestrian rows increases. The equation to calculate the pedestrian signal time is proposed using the pedestrian starting time, the time interval between the pedestrian rows, and pedestrian crossing speed given area types (commercial, business, mixed, and elementary school areas), number of both-directional pedestrians for a cycle, crosswalk length and width.

  • Two new impulsive driving technologies for 120Hz liquid crystal display (LCD) panels are proposed to improve moving picture quality. One technology generates the dark frame using an adder and a shifter simply without using any look up tables (LUTs). It results in a cost effective impulsive scheme with motion picture quality comparable to that of high speed driving. The other is a backlight flashing method designed to avoid ghost images. The issue of ghost images caused by the slow response time of liquid crystal (LC) is solved by means of 120Hz overdriving and 120Hz backlight flashing. Using the perceived blur edge time (PBET) metric, measured moving picture response time (MPRT) values were 10.8ms and 4.4ms, respectively, while that of 120Hz high speed driving was 10.1ms.

  • Self-pressurization analysis of the natural circulation integral nuclear reactor through a new dynamic model is studied. Unlike conventional pressurized water reactors, this reactor type controls the system pressure using saturated coolant water in the steam dome at the top of the pressure vessel. Self-pressurization model is developed based on conservation of mass, volume, and energy by predicting the condensation that occurs in the steam dome and the flashing inside the chimney using the partial differential equation. A simple but functional model is adopted for the steam generator. The obtained results indicate that the variable measurement is consistent with design data and that this new model is able to predict the dynamics of the reactor in different situations. It is revealed that flashing and condensation power are in direct relation with the stability of the system pressure, without which pressure convergence cannot be established.

  • The pedestrian signal systems operating presently could provide more time for the pedestrian to cross the street than the previous system, but it would increase the cycle length and cause longer delays at the signalized intersections. For instance, more than 80% of traffic signals would have to have the cycle length increased by 10sec in Daegu Metropolitan areas. Therefore. the purpose of this study is to propose a pedestrian traffic signal time that not only maintains the safety of the pedestrian but also reduces the traffic cycle length. The proposed pedestrian signal time is set to enable enough time for the elderly to cross and the flashing time is set low enough to deter the ordinary person. This new pedestrian signal time can reduce the traffic cycle length at intersections and prevent the Pedestrian crossing during flashing time. In addition to the flashing green should be changed to flashing red to warn the pedestrian he should not begin crossing as opposed to the flashing green which suggest he could cross. In this study, the speed of 1.1m/sec and 0.85m/sec are applied to the new proposed signal time for normal and elderly person respectively after analyzing data collected at Daegu Metropolitan area.

  • This paper discusses the effect of varying LiBr solution circuits flow rates for a direct fired double effect commercial absorption chiller in the parallel flow configuration. The effects of solution flow rates have been investigated for generator, condenser, solution heat exchanger, absorber and evaporator. According to the result of this work, it was found that sensible heat rate of generator increases and refrigerant vapor generated in that decreases when inlet solution flow rate of that increases. As solution flow rate of absorber increases, the degree of superheat increases because of decreasing solution heat exchanger efficiency. The flashing vapor at the top of absorber increases in proportion to the degree of superheat whileas decreases cooling capacity inversely.

  • 본 논문에서는 딥러닝을 기반으로 하는 야간 점멸신호 제어를 통하여 신호 위반과 과속에 의한 교통사고로부터 보행자와 운전자의 인명피해 최소화를 목표로 한다. 제안된 기법은 딥러닝을 기반으로 하여 교차로에서 심야 보행자 인식률을 향상시키고, 야간 점멸신호를 연동 제어하는 기법을 제안하고 있다. 야간의 영상 인식 과정은 어두운 제약조건의 환경에서 떨어지는 영상인식을 보완하기 위하여 PIR 센서로부터 물체를 인식한다. 아두이노의 PIR 센서에서 인식된 물체에 대하여 보행자 여부를 판단하기 위하여 YOLO 알고리즘을 적용한다. 젯슨자비에NX로부터 수신받은 정보를 기반으로 점멸신호에서 일반 신호등 신호로 전환 후 보행자 횡단 시간을 고려하여 일정 시간이 지난 후 다시 일반 신호등 신호에서 점멸신호로 전환한다. 본 논문은 심야의 제한된 조건에서 보행자 식별을 통하여 교차로에서 보행자와 운전자의 인명피해 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Green light flashing signals of pedestrian lights can cause lots of confusion for pedestrians, resulting in serious road traffic problems. In this study, a new signalling lamp was proposed using the Lenticular technique to make the signals of pedestrians entering and not entering crosswalks look different. In order to review the possibility of introducing this signal, we conducted a cognitive test on the signal of the Lenticular. As a result of the experiment, the subjects were able to distinguish red and green flashing signals according to the distance. Based on this, we found the possibility of introducing lenticular signals that could prevent pedestrian accidents and prevent excessive crossings. In the future, we will manufacture and experiment with real traffic lights and actively examine the introduction plan.
