It has been considered that factors affecting accuracy of the estimated weight of moving vehicle by BWIM system are vehicle and bridge characteristics, and measurement conditions which is related to the strain curve. In this study, theoretical review and field test were performed to evaluate effect of these factors in BWIM system. From these evaluations, we proposed a way to improve accuracy of the estimated vehicle information in BWIM system. As the results, it was known that girder type and continuity of spans in bridge are not governing factor, but its plane shape gives large influence on accuracy of the estimated vehicle information. In addition, running speed of vehicle has also large effect on the estimated accuracy of axle distance if the distance between second and third axles is short. However, weight sum of the two axles can be estimated reasonably by assuming them as one axle.

This paper proposes a new mesh simplification algorithm using differential error metric. Many simplification algorithms make use of a distance error metric, but it is hard to measure an accurate geometric error for the high-curvature region even though it has a small distance error measured in distance error metric. This paper proposes a new differential error metric that results in unifying a distance metric and its first and second order differentials, which become tangent vector and curvature metric. Since discrete surfaces may be considered as piecewise linear approximation of unknown smooth surfaces, theses differentials can be estimated and we can construct new concept of differential error metric for discrete surfaces with them. For our simplification algorithm based on iterative edge collapses, this differential error metric can assign the new vertex position maintaining the geometry of an original appearance. In this paper, we clearly show that our simplified results have better quality and smaller geometry error than others.

In this study, we propose a joint inversion method, using genetic algorithms, to determine the shear-wave velocity structure of deep sedimentary layers from receiver functions and surface-wave phase velocity. Numerical experiments with synthetic data indicate that the proposed method can avoid the trade-off between shear-wave velocity and thickness that arises when inverting the receiver function only, and the uncertainty in deep structure from surface-wave phase velocity inversion alone. We apply the method to receiver functions obtained from earthquake records with epicentral distances of about 100 km, and Rayleigh-wave phase velocities obtained from a microtremor array survey in the Kanto Plain, Japan. The estimated subsurface structure is in good agreement with the previous results of seismic refraction surveys and deep borehole data.

1990년대 제안된 RTK(Real-Time Kinematics)는 GNSS/GPS 반송파 위상(carrier phase) 관측값을 이용한 방식으로 cm 수준의 정확도를 실시간으로 산출할 수 있어 측지 측량 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 한 가지 중요한 단점은 이 방식을 사용하는 기준국과 사용자는 10~20km 이내에 존재해야만 빠르고 신뢰할 수 있는 해를 산출할 수 있다는 점이다. 이는 궤도오차, 대류층 및 전리층 오차에 공간 상관성(spatially correlated) 있기 때문인데, 사용자 주변을 둘러싼 다중 기준국들의 측정치를 조합하여 보상하거나 모델링하여 줄이는 방식인 다중 기준국 네트워크 기반의 RTK 알고리즘이 제안되어 사용되고 있다. 다중 기준국 네트워크 기반의 RTK 프로세스에서 기준국간 미지정수 결정은 전 과정의 핵심 프로세스라고 할 수 있으며, 관련되어 많은 기술들이 제안되고 연구되어 왔다. 특히, 1980년대 말부터 현재까지 후처리 기반으로 꾸준하게 연구되고 있는 Blewitt에 의해 전리층 제거 조합과 Wide-lane 반송파 위상 조합을 활용한 미지정수 검색 방법이 대표적이며 이후에도 Gao, Colombo등 다양한 연구자에 의해 활용되었다. 이 연구에서는 실시간으로 다중 기준국 반송파 미지정수를 결정하는 기술에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. L1, L2 관측값 조합으로 인한 관측값의 잡음 수준이 증가하는 영향을 피하기 위해 L1, L2 반송파 위상 및 의사거리를 그대로 관측값으로 사용하여 사용자 위치 및 속도, 기준국간 이중 차분된 전리층 지연 수직성분, 대류층 wet 지연 수직 성분, 이중 차분된 미지정수를 미지의 상태변수로 확장 칼만필터를 통해 직접적으로 추정하는 방식으로 미지정수의 실수해를 결정하였고, 정수해는 실시간에 적합한 MLAMBDA 기법과 비율테스트를 통한 정수해 검정기법을 통해 결정하였다.

직선운동하는 하전입자의 진행방향에 수직한 평면상에 서로 직교하는 전기장과 자기장을 걸어주면, 하전입자에는 전기장에 의한 힘 FE와 자기장과 속도 v에 의한 로렌츠력 $F_B=q(v{\times}B)$가 동시에 작용하게 된다. 이때 Wien 조건 FB=-FE를 만족하는 질량 mA과, 에너지 EA를 가지는 하전입자 A는 휘지 않고 직선운동을 계속하나, 하전입자 A와 다른 에너지 $E_B\;(=E_A+{\delta}E)$나 질량 $m_B\;(=m_A+{\delta}m)$을 가지는 하전입자는 휘게 되며, 그 휘는 정도는 ${\delta}E$나 ${\delta}m$에 비례하게 된다. 이 현상을 이용하여 다양한 종류의 에너지 또는 질량 분석기가 독일, 미국, 일본 등의 분석기기 선진국에서 개발되어 왔고, 전자현미경의 이미지 필터로도 활용되고 있으며, 통상 EXB 필터 또는 발명자의 이름을 딴 Wien 필터로 불리어지고 있다. $E{\times}B$ 필터는 일반적인 하전입자빔 렌즈와 다른 광학특성을 가지며, 지난 발표에서는 $E{\times}B$ 필터의 기본 궤도 방정식 및 다양한 2차 기하 수차 방정식의 유도과정 및 결과를 보여주었다. 본 발표에서는 EXB 필터의 전후에 배치시켜, 초점거리 등의 조정을 수행할 4극자와, $E{\times}B$ 필터에서 발생하는 2차 수차의 보정을 수행할 6극자의 광학특성의 계산 결과를 보여준다. 4극자-6극자-EXB필터-6극자-4극자 조합의 기본 광학궤도 계산 결과는 빔 다이어그램으로 보여준다. 6극자에 의해 수차를 줄여서 향상되는 에너지 분해능 값은 수치적으로 추정한다. 실제 제작이 된 각 부품의 외형 및 사진을 보여주어 에너지 필터의 제작 진행 상황을 보고한다.

The maximum and mean acceleration rates of vehicles estimated from the stopping conditions at signalized intersections provided an important clue to analyze traffic accident investigation when there was a dispute about legal liability such as first entering vehicle at the intersection, etc. This paper provided the maximum and mean acceleration rates of vehicles reflecting current traffic conditions in Korea through field studies. The mean acceleration rates of vehicles at stopline were measured up to 50m at the intervals of 5m. Results showed that the mean acceleration rate for bus was found to be $1.011^m/s^2{\sim}1.314^m/s^2$(0.1g~0.13g), and for passenger car was $1.548^m/s^2{\sim}1.818^m/s^2$(0.16g~0.19g). Statistical test results indicated that the observed differences from vehicle types and vehicle positions were statistically significant for the all ranges tested. It is expected that the accuracy of accident investigation practice will be improved by applying the acceleration rate values presented in this paper.

In recent SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) systems, wideband active SONAR systems has received more attention than narrowband SONAR systems due to the remarkable detection performance in terms of range resolution. However, the wideband SONAR systems usually requires a huge amount of computational burden in order to achieve their own superiority. To cope with this drawback of the wideband SONAR systems, this paper proposes a fast target detection and velocity estimation method using an extended replica in wideband hyperbolic frequency modulation active SONAR system. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method can be implemented by a highly reduced computational complexity with a little performance degradation in target detection and velocity estimation compared to the conventional filter bank method.

Instantaneous Frequency(IF) of Doppler signals is used to get the information of relative velocity and miss distance between a missile and the corresponding target. Though Short-Time Fourier Transform(STFT) is mainly used to estimate IF, it has many errors in wide band signals where frequency changes sharply. Because it has a fixed window in time and frequency axes. This paper deals with IF estimation of Doppler signal using a Continuous Wavelet Transform(CWT) which has adaptive window in time and frequency axes. The proposed method is able to estimate IF regardless of frequency changes because it has a narrow window in high frequency band and a wide window in low frequency band. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms STFT in estimating IF.

This study presents an analysis of infrasonic signals from two accidental explosions in Gwangyang city, Jeonnam Province, Korea, on December 24, 2019, recorded at 12 infrasound stations located 151-435 km away. Infrasound propagation refracted at an altitude of ~40 km owing to higher stratospheric wind in the NNW direction, resulting in favorable detection at stations in that direction. However, tropospheric phases were observed at stations located in the NE and E directions from the explosion site because of the strong west wind jet formed at ~10 km. The transmission losses on the propagation path were calculated using the effective sound velocity structure and parabolic equation modeling. Based on the losses, the observed signal amplitudes were corrected, and overpressures were estimated at the reference distance. From the overpressures, the source energy was evaluated through the overpressure-explosive charge relationship. The two explosions were found to have energies equivalent to 14 and 65 kg TNT, respectively. At the first explosion, a flying fragment forced by an explosive shock wave was observed in the air. The energy causing the flying fragment was estimated to be equivalent to 49 kg or less of TNT, obtained from the relationship between the fragment motion and overpressure. Our infrasound propagation modeling is available to constrain the source energy for remote explosions. To enhance the confidence in energy estimations, further studies are required to reflect the uncertainty of the atmospheric structure models on the estimations and to verify the relationships by various ground truth explosions.

This paper introduces a radar signal processing technique for intelligent rear view monitoring of an automobile. The linear frequency modulation-frequency shift keying(LFM-FSK) waveform, which is the combination of frequency modulation continuous wave(FMCW) and frequency shift keying(FSK) waveform, is employed to simultaneously estimate the range, relative aspect angle, and velocity of an automobile. Hence, it can be applied to monitor the rear view of an automobile. FMCW waveform has high range resolution capability, but it produces ghost targets under a multiple target environment. In contrast, FSK waveform can provide high velocity resolution and avoids the problem of ghost targets. However, it fails to identify multiple targets along the radar's line of sight. With LFM-FSK waveform, we can estimate the ranges and velocities of multiple targets with very high resolution, which avoids the ghost target problem of an FMCW waveform. Simulation result shows that LFM-FSK wavefrom is suitable for use in the lane change assistance system for an automobile.
