This study deals with the operation effectiveness of roundabout. The objective of this study was to analyze the operational effectiveness of roundabout based on the operation of pedestrian signal. For pursuing the above, VISSIM was as a traffic simulation program. this study gives particular attention to analyzing the 1,680 scenarios by operation of Pedestrian Signal(7 cases), roundabout type(2 cases), pedestrian volume(8 cases) and entering volume(15 cases). The main results analyzed are as follows. First, the operational effectiveness analyzed by 2 type of 4-legged 1-lane roundabout and 6 type of 4-legged 2-lane were evaluated to be better than that by the others type. Second, the average delay time analyzed by operation of pedestrian signal were evaluated to be less than that by unsignalized pedestrian crossing. Finally, the average delay time analyzed by pedestrian crossing were decreased 8.18% than that by staggered pedestrian crossing in 4-legged 1-lane. However, the average delay time analyzed by staggered pedestrian crossing were evaluated to be decreased 36.53% than that by pedestrian crossing in 4-legged 2-lane.

This article provides empirical evidence on factors of internal audit (IA) characteristics affecting the internal audit effectiveness in steel enterprises in Vietnam. The study uses data from survey obtained from 114 responses representing owners, managers, and internal auditors from 38 steel enterprises in Vietnam for period from 2018 to 2019. Data collected is firstly checked with Cronbach's Alpha, then the EFA test, and the model linear regression is used to test the relationship between internal audit characteristics and internal audit effectiveness. Results reveal that internal audit effectiveness in steel enterprises in Vietnam is influenced by various internal factors, including the size of internal audit, the scope of internal audit, the capacity of internal auditors, the independence of internal auditor, and the operational bases and methods of internal audit. Based on the research results, the paper makes six recommendations: strengthening operational basis of IA; increasing the independence of IA; increasing the size and capacity of IA staff; expanding and not underestimate the scope of IA; and reforming the internal governance structure. These proposed recommendations could be applied, not only for steel companies in Vietnam, but also for other companies in Vietnam or other companies in jurisdictions that have similar conditions.

This study deals with the operational effectiveness of roundabout. The roundabout is currently under consideration in our country depending on the result of existing researches, that the roundabout decreases delay and is environmentally friendly compared to the signalized intersection. The purpose of the study is to analyze the operational effectiveness of the roundabout by the change of pedestrian traffic volume. In pursing the above, this study gave particular emphasis to designing a network of roundabout, developing some scenarios for analysis including both entering traffic volume and pedestrians volume, and comparatively analyzing the average controlled delay time per vehicle. In this study, VISSIM model was used as a tool for traffic simulation. The main results are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing a traffic delay based on the pedestrian traffic volume, pedestrian traffic volume was analyzed to have a great impact on the roundabout operation. Second, the more pedestrian traffic volume were evaluated to indicate the more traffic delay. When the entering volumes with 1,000persons/hour (pedestrian volume) were more than 800pcph in the single-lane and 1,600pcph in the double-lane roundabout, the operational efficiencies of signalized intersections were evaluated to be better than those of roundabouts.

This study deals with the effectiveness of roundabout. The goal is to comparatively analyze the operational effectiveness related to the conversion of rotary to roundabout in Korea. In pursuing the above, this study gives particular attentions to investigating the existing 20 rotaries and developing the networks of before-and-after improvement using VISSIM, and comparatively analyzing the effectiveness. The domestic rotaries were analyzed to need many improvements of geometric structure for the effective operation of roundabout. The main results are as follow. First, when the present condition of traffic volume were applied, the operational effect of rotary were evaluated to be better than roundabout, but the difference analyzed to be small. Second, the average delay per vehicle in the rotaries of urban area were analyzed to rapidly increase according to the growth of traffic volume. Finally, the average speed of roundabout were evaluated to be less (about 10km/h) than that of rotary, because the traffic volume of rural area were less than that of urban area.

The conventional model of the heat engine involves the inconsistency with the real engine that the power becomes to be zero at the maximum effectiveness condition. In order to improve this defect, a new model of the heat engine is proposed, in which the heat loss from the heat source is taken into account. In accordance with this model, both the power and effectiveness have their respective extremum with respect to operating conditions, and the effectiveness always becomes to be zero when the power is zero.

Many different kinds of wargame models have been developed and used in training and analysis purpose. However, there has been few wargame model which analyze corps or division level operational analysis. Recently KIDA develops corps level operational analysis model based on START(simplified tool for analysis of regional treats) model developed by RAND. This model runs in a PC level with 2MB memory and provides one day combat results within 30 seconds. Only one or three person can operate this model and evaluate multiple corps level operational analysis including chemical effects, $C^3I$ capacity, new weapon system effectiveness and other qualitative effects. We tested this model and evaluated input and output data. We showed that this model can be applied in division level operational analysis also. As an example division level application procedure and sensitivity analysis data was provided. We also find some limitation and problems in the model and suggest application areas and improving methods.

Weapon system is defined as a combination of primary system and logistics support system which are evaluated by capability and operational availability respectively. Weapon system developer thought that primary system was weapon system and also only primary system was important. Recent comparison of total life cycle cost showed that logistics support system was proved to be more important than primary system. However, until now no systematic approach to logistics support system development have applied in the area of developing support system and much money was exhausted by wrong logistics support system. We need to construct a universal metric for effectiveness of logistics support system and to cut out whatever activities or support elements which do not contribute to the metrics. This study describes a new approach under the name function approach to logistics support system development and also classifies five factors of failure frequency, stock out of frequency, administrative delay time, active repair time and logistic delay time that have influence on operational availability of logistics support system.

The status and effectiveness of Bi-modal Tram is analyzed through the comparison of the transport effectiveness and operation cost between the public transportation systems (bus, light rail transit) considering the vehicle and operation characteristic of new transit system Bi-modal Tram. The standard operation schedule is established in consideration of the vehicle specification and operation characteristic of main public transportation modes, and then the annual average operation cost is estimated depending on the volume, speed, analysis length for respective public transportation mode. Through analyzing the operation cost and distribution characteristic of public transportation modes depending on the transport volume and travel speed, the operational efficiency suitable for the city is derived. It is concluded that the operational efficiency of Bi-modal Tram is superior to that of the bus and light rail transit on the aspect of travel volume and operation speed.
