  • This study was analysed the characteristis of traveling vehicles using the collected data by DGPS receiver. These data were checked the vehicle position in every 2 seconds and compared with GIS digital map after correcting the errors. These are compared travel speed and running speed overall and analysed the stopping vehicle in the middle of travelling. The stopping frequency, stopping time and stopping factor was analysed. The X, Y coordinates positioning of DGPS received data about stopping vehicle was analysed. DGPS receiver didn't position at first but positioned it exactly as time went. This study carried out the basic study about travel characteristics with digital map and DGPS received data. Few studies which applied advanced technology like GIS & DGPS have been executed. I hope that the more study will be executed in this traffic field.

  • In relation with economical efficiency analysis on investment evaluation of transportation system, among vehicle operating cost saving benefit that is applied to general preliminary assessment guidelines and investment evaluation guidelines, oil expense calculated data which concentrated and analyze on the relationship between oil consumption amount on running state and running speed. For uninterrupted flow which does not have stopped delay due to traffic signal, consideration for reduction benefit is possible due to the changes of running speed and travel time however, for interrupted flow which the stopping occurs due to signal control on actual signal intersection has no consideration for stopping delay time reduction and stopping rate improvement thus reflection of reality on improved effect analysis is difficult. Therefore, this research makes a framework to analyze benefits that reflects the features of signalized intersections by benefits associated with decrease of stopping delay time with existing research and developing vehicle operating cost calculation model formula. Vehicle operating cost has been redefined considering the stopping delay time by applying the oil consumption amount at idling and the economical benefit between conventional model and newly developed model when applied for the optimization of traffic signal system on the two roads in Seosan city has been analyzed comparative. While the importance of traffic system maintenance is being emphasized due to the increase of congested areas on roads, it is expected to assist in more realistic economical analysis which reflect the delay improvement through the presentation of an economic analysis model that considers the features of signalized intersections in signal optimization system improvements and effect analysis of congestion improvement projects`.

  • When allocating traffic signal at the signalized intersection, minimum green time and clearance time for bicyclists should be significantly considered in order to enhance safety aspects to bicyclists when crossing intersections, especially where intersections with exclusive bicycle paths that are physically separated from pedestrians. In this study, field measurements related to bicycle crossing time, including minimum peen time and clearance time, were collected and analyzed according to bicycles crossing types at the signalized intersections where high rate of bicyclists exists. Three types of bicycle crossing are defined as follows 1) stopping: completely stop before crossing (at least one foot on found) 2) riding: crossing with riding bicycle 3) pulling: crossing without riding bicycles. Minimum green time based on pedestrian speeds should be used as crossing time in this case. For bicyclists, speed of bicycle that is applicable to estimate the minimum green time is in the 1.36m/sec($15^{th}$ percentile) to 1.60m/sec($25^{th}$ percentile) range in case of its stopping. Also it is in the 0.75($15^{th}$ percentile) to 0.87($25^{th}$ percentile) range for pulling at crosswalk. In addition, speed of bicycle to consider for calculating the clearance time is in the 2.51m/sec($15^{th}$ percentile) to 2.79m/sec($25^{th}$ percentile). These values also resulted from $15^{th}$ percentile or $25^{th}$ percentile speeds of riding. The results of this study are expected to be supported in traffic signal allocation process, reflecting bicyclists' characteristics.

  • We Observe a sequence of i. i. d random variables with density f or g. Only if g is true we should stop the process. Hence. the testing problem is completely described by a stopping time. Among all stopping times with error probability of first kind not exceeding a given bound, the one-sided sequential probability ratio test has smallest expected sample size if g is true. Moreover, the generalized one-sided SPRT has smallest expected sample size for g in the class of stopping times with expected sample size under f not falling below a given bound.

  • In this study, the behavior of pollutant was calculated at Paldang reservior according to several scenarios of the accidental water pollution by means of the numerical models for forecasting water quality. Also managemental plans for situation of the accidental water pollution happening at Paldang watershed were simulated. According to the simulating results, a plan of increase of discharge at Cheongpyeong dam reduced the peak concentration of pollutants, whereas extended the time for stopping water intake. Another plan, drop of water elevation at Paldang dam, decreased seriously the time for stopping water intake although there were a little effect to decrease the peak concentration. Thus it was concluded that appropriate combinations of the plans for the increase discharge and the dropping water elevation should be used to deal with the accidental water pollution at Paldang watershed.

  • In this research, we explore how to manage the transition of technology generations considering incremental innovation of the existing technology generation. Firms can slow down decaying of the existing technology by continuous incremental improvements rather than introducing a new generation technology at the first time if the former strategy is better. We characterize optimal technology transition problem by setting up an optimal control model. The model which is originally designed and solved by Thompson(1968) as a ‘Machine maintenance problem’ has been cited to build the main body of our model. With this analytical model, we derive optimal ‘incremental innovation’ strategy which is considering transition to the next technology. Our analysis indicates that there exists an unique ‘stopping incremental innovation timing’. Before the point of time, the decision maker should make his effort at a maximum level to enhance the current technology. However from the stopping timing to the final time horizon where the new technology is introduced, it is found that not to invest to the current technology any more is optimal.

  • Accurate stopping control is important for trains, especially now that many train stations are equipped with platform screen doors. Various algorithms have been proposed for accurate stopping control. However, most metro trains in South Korea use classic control algorithms such as PID control because other algorithms are too complex to realize. PID control has merits of simple structure and operation. However, PID control sometimes fails, and much time is needed to find the proper coefficients due to the long control period and the brake delay. We propose a control algorithm that uses a Kalman filter. The Kalman filter estimates the states at the time when braking starts. Then, a suitable control input is derived for proper control. System modeling and a computer simulation were performed with consideration of the brake properties and the period of the control system. The superiority of the proposed control algorithm is shown by analyzing stop errors.

  • In the recent digital communication systems, the performance of Turbo Code used as the error correction coding method depends on the interleaver size influencing the free distance determination and the iterative decoding algorithms of the turbo decoder. However, some iterations are needed to get a better performance, but these processes require a large time delay. Recently methods of reducing the number of iteration have been studied without degrading original performance. In this paper, the new method of combining ME (Mean Estimate) stopping criterion with SDR (sign difference ratio) stopping criterion among previous stopping criteria is proposed, and the fact of compensating each method's missed detection is verified. Faster decoding is realized that about 1~2 time iterations to reduced through adopting this method into serially concatenated both decoders. System Environments were assumed W-CDMA forward link system with intense MAI (multiple access interference).
