Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of the muscle activities during level walking and stairs ascending in young adults. Methods : Fifteen young adult were recruited this study. Muscle activity (BIOPAC System Inc., Santa Barbara, U.SA). Statistical analysis was difference between level and stair walking. Results : In stance phase, muscle activity of low extremity generally more increased during ramp ascent both young adults. In swing phase, muscle activity of low extremity generally more increased during stairs ascent in young adults. Conclusion : These results indicate that stair and ramp ascent is more difficult task than level walking in young adults. Muscle activity was more changed at ramp ascent. In the future, we suggest that studies of stair and ramp gait pattern regarding ambulatory patient with disabilities be further studied and an appropriate stairs and ramp inclination will be indicated.

첨두시 고속도로의 혼잡이 심각할 경우 수요와 용량을 조절하는 운영방안이 필요하다. 고속도로의 연결로에서 본선으로 진입하는 교통류가 본선의 용량을 초과하지 않도록 진입제어 시스템을 이용하여 혼잡을 감소시키고, 안전성을 증진시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 램프부에 위치한 차량들을 본선의 교통상황을 고려하여 진입시키는 진입제어 전략을 보다 효과적으로 운영하기 위한 방안으로 진입제어 실시영역에 대하여 연구하였다. 본선의 교통상황에 따라 진입제어를 실시하거나 미실시하는 교통영역이 존재할 것이라 판단하고, 제어 불필요 제어 필요 제어 최소화 등으로 교통량 수준에 따라 진입 제어 전략이 운영될 수 있는 교통상황 영역을 도출하였다. 이를 위해 고속도로 본선 및 램프부의 교통량에 따라 시나리오를 수립하고 널리 이용되고 있는 진입제어 알고리즘 중의 하나인 ALINEA를 미시적 교통류 시뮬레이터에서 구현하여 모의실험을 수행하였다. 밀도와 평균속도를 효과척도로 하여 본선교통량과 본선으로 투입되는 교통량에 따라 진입제어를 운영해야하는 적정 교통수요 영역을 도출하였다. 분석결과, 본선의 교통량이 많아질수록 밀도는 감소하는 경향을 보이며 감소폭도 크게 산출되었다. 또한, 평균속도는 진입제어를 운영하는 것이 15%의 개선효과를 보였으며, 본선교통량 이 3000~5000대/시이고 진입교통량이 700~900대/시일 때 통행속도의 증가폭이 크게 나타났다. 본 연구에서 도출된 교통수요 영역은 적정 진입제어 영역으로 볼 수 있으며 이에 따라 본선으로 진입하는 교통류를 제어할 경우 밀도와 평균속도 측면에서 유의미한 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Today freeway is thought to be a very important transportation facility carrying tremendous traffic flow as the main corridor within the area of between the areas. However freeway is experiencing severe congestion and accidents by increased entrance ramp flow especially at peak time period. Ramp meters on the freeway entrance ramps that supply traffic to the freeway in a measured or appropriately regulated amount are needed for alleviating freeway congestion. Because ramp meters can be operated to discharge traffic at a measured or regulated rate thus maintaining more uniform speed on the mainline section maximizing the throughput to the freeway within the capacity of a downstream bottleneck and reducing the congestion related accidents. Thus the objectives in this study were to analyze the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 with ramp metering system before/after ITS technology in Detroit (Michigan) area compare shifts of the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 before/after ITS technology and finally suggest a better ramp metering strategy for the freeway system The following results were obtained: i)Flow occupancies and speeds on the mainline merge section of freeway were shown to be a big difference depending on the peak periods areas and directions based on the distribution of traffic flow characteristics on the freeway. ii)Reduced speed was shown to be more than 5 mph and ramp flow was also shown to be more than 240 vph at peak periods if there was the ramp metering system constructed on the freeway. iii)Ramp metering system was shown to be optimally operated on the freeway if ramp flow could be maximized within the range of over 900 vph and reduced occupancy could be also maximized by no more than 2 percent at peak periods. iv)The average flows on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be a decrease of over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those flow on the freeway before the ITS technology. over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those speeds on the freeway before the ITS technology. vi)The average metering rates on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be an increase of over 10% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those metering rates on the freeway before the ITS technology.

In this study, the settlement prediction method based on field monitoring data under preloading improvement with ramp loading is developed. Settlement behavior can be predicted with field monitored settlement throughout the entire preloading process including ramp loading followed by constant loading. The developed method is verified by comparing its predicted results with results from physical model tests and field monitoring data.

Ramp-rate limitation is a serious obstacle for successful operation of fast charging and discharging magnet Ramp-rate limitation is hard to expect or fully investigate due to its electric and thermo-hydraulics couplings. In this paper, the simplest case of ramp-rate limitation is investigated with two-strand superconducting cable model considering transient heat transfer The simulation results are compared with the experimental results.

This work discusses simulation results for the fuzzy logic controller tested the project“Fuzzy Ramp Metering Algorithm Implementation.”The performance objectives were, in order of priority, to maximize total vehicle-miles, maximize mainline speeds, and minimize delay per vehicle while maintaining an acceptable ramp queue. In the fuzzy logic controller, the sensors from the on-ramps were helpful in maintaining reasonable ramp queue and mainline congestion because it considered these factors simultaneously. Each metered ramp had a parameter input file, which allowed the controller to be modified without recompiling the software. Consequently, maintenance costs should be minimal.

Purpose: This study was conducted to predict the risks that arise while standing on mediolateral ramps at various ramp angles by identifying the ratio of medial to lateral gastrocnemius muscle activities. Methods: The subjects were 20 healthy adult men. Seven mediolateral ramp angles ($0^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, and $25^{\circ}$) were applied for the experiment. The ratio of medial to lateral gastrocnemius muscle activities in each condition was measured using electromyography, and the measured data were converted to root mean square values to calculate the activity ratios. Results: The study results showed statistically significant differences in the ratio of mediolateral gastrocnemius muscle activities according to the selected mediolateral ramp angles. The results of a post hoc test confirmed that the multifidus muscles were asymmetrically used on the two sides at mediolateral ramp angles of $5^{\circ}$ or higher. Conclusion: This study found that an asymmetric use of the multifidus muscles began at a mediolateral ramp angle of $5^{\circ}$, and the provision of propulsion using the ankle joints on mediolateral ramps at $5^{\circ}$ or steeper was maneuvered differently from that on flat ground. This suggests that individuals with balance control disorder have the risk of falling due to ankle sprains and unstable balance control. Therefore, patients and elderly people are required to exercise caution when crossing $5^{\circ}$ or steeper ramps.

본 연구에서는 램프미터링과 요금소 본선미터링을 이용한 고속도로 통합교통관리 전략을 제시하였다. 램프와 본선의 통합 미터링을 위해 FREQ에서 램프미터링 진입허용 교통량의 최적화에 사용되는 Demand-Capacity 모형을 수정하여 최적 신호시간 산정모형을 제시하였다. 본 모형은 구간별 통과교통량을 최대화하는데 목표가 있으며, 본선 요금소 및 램프의 미터링 신호시간을 결정할 수 있다. 서울외곽순환선의 김포요금소~시흥요금소 구간을 대상으로 PARAMICS와 API를 이용하여 시뮬레이션 효과분석을 시행하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석결과, 본선미터링을 통해 램프미터링 단독 운영 대비 본선을 소통원활 상태의 속도로 유지할 수 있었으며, 정체구간에서 본선의 통과교통량이 14% 개선된 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 요금소에서의 신호운영으로 400m의 대기행렬이 발생되나, 정체의 분산으로 인해 본선과 램프 모두에서 보다 효율적 교통운영이 가능함을 확인하였다.

램프미터링은 고속도로로 진입하는 차량들을 제어함으로써 고속도로 본선의 정체를 줄이는 교통운영기법으로, 국외에서는 많이 사용되고 있으며 우리나라도 외곽순환도로 7개소에서 운영중이다. 램프미터링은 본선 정체를 줄이는 장점이 있는 반면 단점도 존재하는데, 램프 출구에서 차량들이 신호를 받고 대기하기 때문에 대기행렬이 발생하고 차량이 많은 시간대는 램프 대기행렬이 인접 도로에 까지 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해 공간적으로 여유가 있는 램프는 진입 수요를 많이 제어하고 공간적으로 여유가 없는 곳은 진입 수요를 적게 제어하도록 램프미터링 알고리즘을 개선하였다. 이를 평가하기 위해 통합평가지수(Combined Index)를 사용하였고 평가 결과 형평성과 효율성을 동시에 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.
