Traffic engineers have developed and implemented various microscopic simulation models to verify the traffic performance and to prevent the expected problems. The existing microscopic simulation models categorize drivers into several types to reflect various drivers' driving patterns but miss the dynamics of drivers' behavior changed based upon the traffic conditions. It was found from the field data collected from two different merging sections on an urban freeway in Seoul, Korea, that the drivers' critical gap distributions are changed based on (1) the traffic density on the adjacent lane to the acceleration lane and (2) the opportunities left to merge in terms of distance to the end of acceleration lane. It was also found from the study that the drivers' critical gap distributions follow the Normal distribution. and its mean and variance change while a vehicle progresses on an acceleration lane. This paper proposes a new gap-acceptance model developed based on a set of drivers' critical gap distributions from each segment on the acceleration lanes. Through the comparison study between the field data and the results from the simulation utilizing the proposed model, it was verified that (1) the distribution of merging points on an acceleration lane to the adjacent main lane at different density levels, (2) the size of the gap accepted for merging and (3) the speed difference between the merging vehicle and the trailing vehicle at the time of merging are statistically identical to the field data at 95% confidence level.

본 연구에서는 WES의 표준 월류형 여수로에 대한 동수역학적인 흐름거동을 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 해석하였다. 월류수두에 따른 월류유량, 월류흐름의 수면곡선, 여수로 표면에서의 압력분포와 같은 모의결과는 WES의 실험자료와 잘 일치하였다. 그리고 월류수두가 여수로 설계수두의 1.33배인 경우의 유속과 압력의 연직분포를 검토하였다. 검토결과, 웨어마루를 통과하면서 저층의 유속이 먼저 가속되며 점차 하류로 이동하면서 수표면의 유속이 가속되어 거의 균일한 유속분포를 보였으며, 압력의 연직분포는 웨어마루 상류에서는 수표면에서 내기압을 보이고 점차 수심이 길어짐에 따라 정수압분포와 유사한 분포를 보이나, 여수로 표면에 접근함에 따라 급격하게 압력이 감소하면서 부압이 발생하였다. 웨어마루 하류에서는 여수로 표면에서의 압력이 점차 대기압으로 접근함에 따라, 거의 전 수심에 걸쳐 대기압과 유사한 분포를 보였다.

Stainless steel sheets are widely used as the structure material for the railroad cars and the commercial vehicles. These kinds structures used stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by using the gas welding. Gas welding is very important and useful technology in fabrication of an railroad car and vehicles structure. However fatigue strength of the gas welded joints is considerably lower than parent metal due to stress concentration at the weldment, fatigue strength evaluation of gas welded joints are very important to evaluate the reliability and durability of railroad cars and to establish a criterion of long life fatigue design. In this paper, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curve were obtained by fatigue tests. Using these results, the accelerated life test (ALT) is conducted. From the experimental results, an acceleration model is derived and acceleration factors are estimated. So it is intended to obtain the useful information for the fatigue lifetime of plug and ring gas welded joints and data analysis by statistic reliability method, to save time and cost, and to develop optimum accelerated life prediction plans.

버스운영에 관한 최적화 모형에는 총 시스템 비용의 최소화 모형과 사회적 편익의 극대화 모형이 있다. 이들 모형들은 해석적 방법에 의해서 특정 이상화된 문제를 연구했다. 특정 필요조건들을 충족시키면서 최적 버스크기, 서비스 빈도, 보유대수를 결정하려고 애썼다. 그러나 실제 버스의 운행시간은 정류장의 지체시간과 승객의 수요에 따라 변화하고 승객의 비용추정시 접근시간을 현실적으로 고려하지 못해 버스 운영의 비효율성을 초래하기 쉽다. 본 연구의 목적은 시간대별로 이용자와 운영자의 비용의 합으로 구성된 총 교통 모형을 최소화는 모형을 구축하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 문헌에서 충분히 고려하지 않은 정류장 간격에 따른 이용자의 접근시간과 버스가 정류장에 들어가고 나올 때의 감·가속으로 인한 지체와 승객의 승·하차로 인한 지체를 고려한 버스의 정류장 정차시간을 기존의 모형에 추가시켜서 운행간격, 버스정류장의 정차시간, 정류장 간격 및 보유대수를 결정하는 방법을 제안했다. 아울러 실제 서울시에서 운행되고 있는 시내버스 노선에 대해 사례분석을 통해서 본 모형을 실제 적용해보고 기존의 운영비용과 비교하고 본 모형의 유효성을 검증할 예정이다.

The car-following model is one of core models in Advanced Vehicle & Highway Systems (AVHS). The car-following model has been developed in aspects such as human factor and reduction error rates. However, the consideration of safety depending on weather condition has not been completed yet. In this paper, therefore, changes of driving condition for car-following due to different road condition were dealt with, and optimal safety distance corresponding to road condition such as dry, wet and snowy were computed. The GMIT(GM Model with Instantaneous T) model was picked over for simulation of adaptive cruise control applied the suggested optimal safety distance. As the results, the 1.7 times longer safety distance was required for wet road condition than dry road condition, and the 5.6 times longer safety distance was required for snowy road condition.

Traffic signal is one of the major factors that affect the amount of vehicle emissions on urban highway. The amount of vehicle emissions in urban area is highly affected by the vehicle's cruising speeds heavily influenced by the traffic signal lighting conditions. It was attempted in this study to trace the changing patterns of the vehicle emissions by collecting the emission data from a set of simulation studies and by categorizing vehicle cruising conditions into four different groups: idling, acceleration, deceleration, and running at a constant speed. Authors propose a simple emission model prepared based on Kinematic theory. The validation test results showed that the amount of the emission estimated by the proposed model was relatively satisfactory compared to the one of the existing model employing the average speed data only as the determinant.

In this study, the dynamic response characteristics of the embankment model were analyzed using shaking table experiments. Laminar shear box was used to minimize the boundary effect of the model. The ratio of the vertical length to horizontal length of the slopes were 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2. The sensor array which is consist of 12 accelerometers was used to measure acceleration time-histories at each location of the slope model. The dynamic response characteristics of the models were analyzed for sine wave, sinesweep wave, and artificial earthquake wave in this study. The experimental results show that the dynamic response of the embankment model is increased with the slope angle. Furthermore, the experimental setup used in this study was verified with the comparative analysis between experimental results and 1-D analytical simulation on the flat ground model.

In this paper, scenario-based urban flood prediction for the entire Jinju city was performed, and a simulation domain was constructed using G2D as a 2-dimensional urban flood analysis model. The domain configuration is DEM, and the land cover map is used to set the roughness coefficient for each grid. The input data of the model are water level, water depth and flow rate. In the simulation of the built G2D model, virtual rainfall (3 mm/10 min rainfall given to all grids for 5 hours) and virtual flow were applied. And, a GPU acceleration technique was applied to determine whether to run the flood analysis model in the target area. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the high-resolution flood analysis time was significantly shortened and the flood depth for visual flood judgment could be created for each simulation time.

In general, accelerated life testing is performed to reduce testing time. But it is difficult to apply accelerated life testing to a system besides components. This paper developed a software which estimates reliability measures of the system from results of accelerated life testing of components building the system. This software can handle the system with a large number of components and complex topology. Multiple failure modes of a component were also considered in this software. Based on the software, reliability measures of a gearbox example at several conditions were estimated from the accelerated life testing results of three components of the gearbox.
