New and renewable energy has attracted a significant attention since the Paris Agreement in 2015. Especially hydrogen energy is important for reducing greenhouse gas produced during transportation. The new government suggested that the eco-friendly vehicles, hydrogen infrastructure and the development of new and renewable energy are the major growth engines in the future. Hydrogen energy is also concerned as the main part of our economy in the national affairs. In the policy of Mission Innovation Strategy and the third Eco-Friendly Vehicle Master Plan, government presents the status, future direction, technical road map and distribution road map of hydrogen energy. With this trend, investments in the research and development on hydrogen and fuel cells have expanded and will continue to expand for the implementation of the policy. The cost reduction, technical innovation and the increase in the localization rate are required for the new and renewable energy, including hydrogen energy, to become the future growth engine.

Platform standardization is widely used in commercial auto industries and other industries to acquire cost reduction as well as high reliability. This paper reviews some application examples and estimates expected effect of Korean army's platform standardization for combat system and combat support system. Also, military platform standardization based on utilization of commercial vehicles has been studied with the standard vehicles used in Korean army. It is estimated that outstanding results may be achieved if a dual platform, the public and military platforms, is utilized. So, when the strategy of the military transportation system is decided, "dual use" concept is necessary and this could maximize the effect of the military strategy reinforcement.

A centralized inventory system provides a number of stores with cost reduction, information sharing. In this paper, transportation costs are included in the inventory model. To build centralized warehouses, two things should be considered: how many warehouses are required and where these are located. The objective of this paper is to develop efficient heuristics to determine the location and the number of central warehouses by minimizing total costs. Throughout some computational experiments, the results of the heuristics are compared with an optimal solution.

In recent years, small mobile devices called personal mobility or smart mobility have attracted attention. Personal mobility refers to electric-driven personal transportation that can travel at close range and medium distance, including small electric vehicles, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric scooters. Most of the electric scooters used in Korea are mainly imported from China. This is due to the fact that the price competitiveness of major components of electric scooters is owned in China. At this point, the domestic research direction is preferable for the composition and design of the electric scooter body rather than cost reduction for the components. In this study, we propose a new model of portable folding structure that is easy to use for electric scooters, which are personal vehicles using electric energy. We also made a prototype for practical use.

This study evaluated the effect of improving the atmospheric environment based on the premise that the supply of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV) will be achieved as many as the number of vehicles presented in the hydrogen economy activation roadmap announced by the Korean government in January 2019. The HFCV supply target (2.7 million passenger cars) suggested in the hydrogen economy revitalization roadmap was logically allocated to the five major metropolitan areas in Korea. Air pollution damage costs by region were calculated by reflecting the basic unit of damage cost to the estimated air pollutant emissions. As a result, it was confirmed that the benefits per unit of some cities in Gyeonggi-do were derived more than major cities in the metropolitan area.

As one of the most important vertical transportation equipment in super high-rise buildings, the construction elevator directly affects the project period, cost, and effectiveness. The paper proposes a new construction elevator with single-guide rail and multi-cages. It can solve the problems of single construction elevator capacity shortage and efficacy decrease with height reduction, the occupancy of plan and elevation position of multiple construction elevators, and extension of total construction period by cycling operation of multi-cages on a single-guide rail. The paper focuses on the design and research of the main components of the equipment, such as the rotating guide rail mechanism, vertical bearing mast tie system, segmented electrical power supply system, group control scheduling system, and safety anti-collision system.

중단거리 수송을 위한 도시철도의 수요 증대에 부응하기 위해, 건설비 및 운영비 등의 절감을 실현할 수 있는 경전철 시스템의 도입이 국내에서 본격화되고 있다. 비록 경전철 시스템이 관련 규정에 근거하여 설계 및 시공, 그리고 운용되고 있지만, 일부 과다한 기준 및 사양을 맞추기 위해서 건설 및 운용 등에 초과 비용이 투입되는 것에 대한 문제점이 제기되고 있다. 게다가 경전철 역사의 경우 사용자의 동선이 불필요하게 길어져 시민들과 교통약자의 불편을 초래할 수 있다는 점이 지적되고 있어 경전철 역사의 슬림화가 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하나의 방안으로 경전철 역사 대신에 버스정류장 개념에 해당하는 '경전철 정류장' 개념의 도입을 위해 필요한 설계지침에 대해 연구하였다. 구체적으로 정류장 개념 도입을 뒷받침하기 위한 설계 기본방향 및 지침을 수정/보완하여 도출하였다. 또한 이를 상세설계에 적용시키는 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과의 활용을 통하여 경전철의 건설 및 운영 비용의 절감, 시민들의 경전철 이용편의 증진 등의 결과로 교통복지를 강화할 수 있는 기회가 될 것이다.

교통부문의 지속가능성(sustainability)을 유지하기 위하여 대중교통중심의 도시개발(transit oriented development, TOD), 자전거나 보행 등 녹색 교통수단의 이용활성화, 그리고 차량운행시 배출되는 온실가스(green house gas) 를 감축하는 정책 등 다양한 방안들이 제시되고 있다. 이중 온실가스 배출량에 대한 다양한 연구들이 제시되고 있으나, 교통측면의 행태적인 분석에는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 교통측면에서 좀 더 행태적인 측면을 고려한 온실가스 배출량 추정식을 제시하는 것이 연구의 목적이다. 즉, 특정 존에서 발생하는 차량으로 인한 온실가스 배출량을 기종점간 통행수요(travel demand for each OD pair)와 통행거리(travel distance)를 반영하여 결정한다. 여기서 기종점간 통행수요는 통행비용의 함수로 중력모형(gravity model)을 이용하여 구해지며, 통행거리는 평균 통행거리가 아닌 기종점간 실제 통행거리를 고려한다는 점이 기존 연구와 차이가 된다. 또한, 본 연구에서 제시하는 온실가스 추정식의 적용성과 활용성을 검토하기 위하여 통행비용에 대한 온실가스 배출량의 민감도(sensitivity)와 탄력성(elasticity)을 유도하며, 정책적 측면에서 온실가스를 감축하기 위한 온실가스 통행료(green house gas pricing)의 부과 효과에 대해서도 검토해 본다.

Research on hydrogen storage is active to properly deal with hydrogen, which is considered a next-generation energy medium. In particular, research on metal hydride with excellent safety and energy efficiency has attracted attention, and among them, magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys have been studied for a long time due to their high storage density, low cost, and abundance. However, Mg-based alloys require high temperature conditions due to strong binding enthalpy, and have many difficulties due to slow hydrogenation kinetics and reduction in hydrogen storage capacity due to oxidation, and various strategies have been proposed for this. This research manufactured Mg₂Ni to improve hydrogenation kinetics and synthesize about 5, 10, 20 wt% of CaF₂ as a catalyst for controlling oxidation. Mg₂NiHx-CaF₂ produced by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying analyzed hydrogenation kinetics through an automatic PCT measurement system under conditions of 423 K, 523 K, and 623 K. In addition, material life cycle assessment was conducted through Gabi software and CML 2001 and Eco-Indicator 99' methodology, and the environmental impact characteristics of the manufacturing process of the composites were analyzed. In conclusion, it was found that the effects of resource depletion (ARD) and fossil fuels had a higher burden than other impact categories.

Objective : To evaluate the relative benefits and the costs associated with the introduction of the new pharmaceutical provision called 'Mandatory Prescription System' which separates the role of physicians from that of pharmacists with respect to the prescription and dispensation of from the perspective of consumers (i.e., patients). Methods : The costs of the system were measured by considering both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs included additional payments for ambulatory care and dispensing fees that occurred under the new system. indirect costs consisted of transportation expenses and costs related to time spent for physician consultation, waiting for the prescriptions to be filled, and extra traveling. Benefits identified in this study were the reduction of drug misuse and overuse, and the overall decrease in drug consumption among the Korean population. Sensitivity analysis was peformed for the inclusion of benefits for outpatients of hospitals, price elasticity, and increased fees for established patients. Results : The net benefit was estimated to be about minus 1,862 billion won and the benefit-cost ratio was 0.478. This indicates that the costs of 'Mandatory Prescription' outweigh its benefits, relative to the previous system. The sensitivity analysis results for all the variables considered in this study consistently showed the benefit-cost ratio to be less than 1. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that implementing Mandatory Prescription System in Korea might be inefficient from the consumer's perspective. The results of this study do not coincide with the results of previous studies, presumably because of the differences in study design and in which items of costs and benefits were considered.
