  • Rapid developments of industry and economics have made a metropolis which demands an effective urban transport management system (UTMS). Specially, this paper considers a subway surveillance system based on integrated wireless LAN technologies for public safety. Since a current subway platform security entirely relies on conventional closed circuit television camera (CCTV) or human operators, subway train drivers cannot detect platform states and cope with abnormal situations or accidents immediately. However, through the IP cameras and some wireless routers, high qualify images of the platform conditions can be directly delivered to the train drivers and other station employees in advance of train entering the platform. In this paper, several design issues and problems are discussed when building up the subway management system. Further, we illustrate a system model with the system requirements in real parametric values in order to draw concrete system designs and to realize a practical implementation of the future UTMS.

  • Fishery industry is an important part of agricultural industry in coastal countries. The purpose of this study is to use the theory of industrial competitiveness for reference, use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Delphi method to establish the evaluation index system, and analyze the fishery industry competitiveness of 11 coastal provinces in China. This study data came from China Fishery Statistical Yearbook 2020. The results show that Shandong Province is the most competitive province in fishery industry among the coastal provinces. The inter-provincial differences are great. Not only the resource endowment is the factor that affects the fishery industry competitiveness, but also the long-term profitability is too. The proportion of recreational fishery in the fishery economic output value has become one of the main indicators to measure the competitiveness of the fishery industry. The findings of this study suggest that all regions should adopt measures in accordance with local conditions, promote the integrated development of the fishery industry, enhance the added value of fishery products and enhance the competitiveness of fishery industry. The disadvantage of this study is that the fishery industry competitiveness of China's coastal provinces is only compared and analyzed. The future direction is to carry out a comparative study on the international competitiveness of fishery with other east Asian countries.

  • This study examines the low performance of state civil servants related (ASN) to the management of public transportation at the Directorate of Road Transport (DRT), Ministry of Transportation, Indonesia. This study surveyed 103 ASNs, using a quantitative approach using the Amos SEM software. The results showed that Knowledge Sharing (KS) and Work Engagement (WE) directly influenced Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) as well as Job Performance (JP). Meanwhile, IWB had a significant, direct effect on JP and acts as a full mediator in the effect of KS and WE on JP. The descriptive data obtained also showed that respondents' statements based on gender have differences related to the IWB variable, where on average, women were better than men. However, for other variables (JP, KS, and WE), the data showed that, on average, the statements of male respondents were better than women. This study recommends that the DRT pay attention to IWB as a key factor mediating KS and WE towards increasing JP by maintaining the best indicators and improving the weakest indicators. Furthermore, this study recommends that future research refine these results by adding the variables of gender and educational level of the respondents.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the policy implications of establishing a compact city in Seoul, analyzing whether it is an appropriate and efficient eco-friendly housing supply alternative. Research design, data, and methodology: The analysis criteria include efficiency, safety, and comfort, with efficiency encompassing economic, energy, and public transport links' efficiency. Safety and comfort are aspects of eco-friendliness, housing safety, and improvement in living environments. Results: In terms of economic efficiency, compact cities are a less expensive option than purchasing land for housing construction. To increase energy efficiency, we plan to adopt eco-friendly energy sources. Transportation efficiency is high in locations near public transport stations. To enhance safety and comfort, we intend to create large-scale parks and forests in Seoul. To ensure residential safety, measures will be taken to reduce road vibration, vehicle noise, and scattering dust. Conclusions: Selecting an appropriate location that provides convenient public transportation is essential for creating a compact city for housing in a large city. Combining a compact and smart city is necessary, and implementing smart technologies is needed to prevent dust, noise, and vibrations, which are undesirable in a residential environment.

  • Current designs of both large reactor units and small modular reactors utilize a nuclear fuel with increasing enrichment. This increasing demand for better nuclear fuel utilization is a challenge for nuclear fuel handling facilities. The operation with higher enriched fuels leads to reduced reserves to legislative and safety criticality limits of spent fuel transport, storage and final disposal facilities. Design changes in these facilities are restricted due to a boron content in steel and aluminum alloys that are limited by rolling, extrusion, welding and other manufacturing processes. One possible solution for spent fuel pools and casks is the burnup credit method that allows decreasing very high safety margins associated with the fresh fuel assumption in spent fuel facilities. This solution can be supplemented or replaced by an alternative solution based on placing the neutron absorber material directly into the fuel assembly, where its efficiency is higher than between fuel assemblies. A neutron absorber permanently fixed in guide tubes decreases system reactivity more efficiently than absorber sheets between the fuel assemblies. The paper summarizes possibilities of fixed neutron absorbers for various nuclear fuel and fuel handling facilities. Moreover, an absorber material was optimized to propose alternative options to boron. Multiple effective absorbers that do not require steel or aluminum alloy compatibility are discussed because fixed absorbers are placed inside zirconium or steel cladding.

  • 민간투자 도로사업의 경우, 사업의 미래 수익성과 직접적으로 관련 있는 예측 교통량의 불확실성과 이에 따른 위험이 민간 운영자에게 이전된다. 따라서 교통량 예측위험이 민간투자 도로사업의 추진에 어느 정도 영향을 미치며, 이러한 위험의 실제적인 경제적 가치를 파악하는 것은 민간투자사업의 적격성을 파악하고 이를 높일 수 있는 중요한 정보이다. 본 논문의 목적은 민간투자 도로사업의 교통수요 예측위험의 경제적 가치를 산정하는 것이다. 이를 위해 예측 교통량은 불확실성이 존재하는 확률변수이며, 시간이 경과하면서 기하 브라운 운동을 따른다고 가정한 후 민간투자사업의 가치변동성을 예측하는 방안을 제안하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 개통 후 도로사업의 교통량 형성 특성을 고려한 램프업 기간 전후의 상이한 교통량 증가율과 그 변동성을 적용하여 단순히 임의적으로 가정한 기존 연구와 차별화하였다 사례 사업분석 결과, 예측된 해당 민간투자사업의 교통수요 예측 리스크 프리미엄은 출자 건설회사의 시가총액을 고려하지 않고 단순평균하는 경우 7.39%, 시가총액을 가중하여 평가하는 경우 8.30%로 분석되었으며, 교통수요 예측위험에 따른 해당 민간투자사업의 가치변동성은 17.11%로 예측되었다. 할인율이 클수록 프로젝트의 가치변동성은 작아졌는데, 비용의 고정으로 인한 레버리지 효과는 교통량 변동성보다 프로젝트의 가치변동성을 크게 하였다. 교통수요 예측위험에 따른 민간투자사업의 가치변동률과 리스크 프리미엄을 통해 산출하는 사례 민간투자사업 교통량 예측위험의 시장가치는 0.42~0.50 사이로 분석되었는데, 이는 교통량 변동성이 1% 증가하거나 감소하면 이에 따른 해당 프로젝트 위험 프리미엄은 0.42~0.50% 증가하거나 감소함을 의미한다.
