U-Turn offers convenience to drivers. U-Turn increases efficiency of traffic flow. But Standard of U-Turn is not clear. It caused many problems of traffic flow and traffic safety. This study estimate length between U-Turn location with front intersection based on stopping sight distance and left-turn vehicle's queue length. Variables are used traffic volume and operation speed. This study Analysis of U-Turn vehicle's behaviors and classification of conflict form by investigation. U-Turn length estimating based on relationship analysis between conflict with U-Turn length. Variables are used lane changing angles and operation speed. This study estimates length between U-Turn location with back intersection based on gap acceptance theory. Variables are used traffic volume, operation speed and lane changing angles.

The influence of gas flow on the plasma generation in the atmospheric plasma jet is described with the theory of hydrodynamics. The plasma discharge is affected by the gas-flow streams with Reynolds number (Re) as well as the gas pressure with Bernoulli's theorem according to the gas flow rate inserted into the glass tube. The length of plasma column is varied with the flow types such as the laminar flow of Re<2,000 and the turbulent flow of Re>4,000 as it has been known in a general fluid experiments. In the laminar flow, the plasma column length is increased as the increase of flow rate. Since the pressure in the glass tube becomes low as the increase of flow velocity by the Bernoulli's theorem, the breakdown voltage of plasma discharge is reduced by the Paschen's law. Therefore, the plasma length is increased as the increasing flow rate with the fixed operation voltage. In the transition of laminar and turbulent flows, the plasma length is decreased. When the flow becomes turbulent as the flow rate is increasing, the plasma length becomes short and the discharge is shut down ultimately. In the discharge of laminar flow, the diameter of plasma beam exposed on the substrate surface is kept less than the glass diameter, since the gas flow is kept to the distinct distance from the nozzle of glass tube.

In this research, a model was developed for estimating the queue length of vehicles, based on occupancy time of each vehicle collected by loop detectors which were setup at the upstream of urban street. The estimation model suggestes a method which minimizes architectural effects of the street, such as existence of pedestrian crossing, for future applications to the field. The estimation model suggested in this research was established based on real traffic data collected at up-stream detectors in Kangnam Subway station, Seoul, and the formula of the model is based on Multi-Polynomial equations. Consequence of the experiments showed that the model can adequately and in real-time mode measure length of the queue which were constructed at the 80 to 90 meters away from the upstream detectors. The estimation accuracy of the model was verified in statistical analysis conducted by regressing analysis and test results in real traffic situation.

Real-time information on vehicle queue at intersections is essential for optimal traffic signal control, which is substantial part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Computer vision is also potentially an important element in the foundation of integrated traffic surveillance and control systems. The objective of this research is to propose a method for detecting an exact queue lengths at signalized intersections using image processing techniques and a neural network model Fuzzy ARTMAP, which is a supervised and self-organizing system and claimed to be more powerful than many expert systems, genetic algorithms. and other neural network models like Backpropagation, is used for recognizing different patterns that come from complicated real scenes of a car park. The experiments have been done with the traffic scene images at intersections and the results show that the method proposed in the paper could be efficient for the noise, shadow, partial occlusion and perspective problems which are inevitable in the real world images.

Seoul metropolitan government has been operating traffic signal control system with the name of COSMOS since 2001. COSMOS uses the degrees of saturation and congestion which are calculated by installing loop detectors. At present, inductive loop detector is generally used for detecting vehicles but it is inconvenient and costly for maintenance since it is buried on the road. In addition, the estimated queue length might be influenced in case of error occurred in measuring speed, because it only uses the speed of vehicles passing by the detector. A traffic signal control algorithm which enables smooth traffic flow at intersection is proposed. The proposed algorithm assigns vehicles to the group of each lane and calculates traffic volume and congestion degree using traffic information of each group using VANETs(Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks) inter-vehicle communication. It does not demand additional devices installation such as cameras, sensors or image processing units. In this paper, the algorithm we suggest is verified for AJWT(Average Junction Waiting Time) and TQL(Total Queue Length) under single intersection model based on GLD(Green Light District) Simulator. And the result is better than Random control method and Best first control method. In case real-time control method with VANETs is generalized, this research that suggests the technology of traffic control in signalized intersections using wireless communication will be highly useful.

In this study, a deep learning model for predicting the queue length was developed using the information collected from the image detector. Then, a multiple regression analysis model, a statistical technique, was derived and compared using two indices of mean absolute error(MAE) and root mean square error(RMSE). From the results of multiple regression analysis, time, day of the week, occupancy, and bus traffic were found to be statistically significant variables. Occupancy showed the most strong impact on the queue length among the variables. For the optimal deep learning model, 4 hidden layers and 6 lookback were determined, and MAE and RMSE were 6.34 and 8.99. As a result of evaluating the two models, the MAE of the multiple regression model and the deep learning model were 13.65 and 6.44, respectively, and the RMSE were 19.10 and 9.11, respectively. The deep learning model reduced the MAE by 52.8% and the RMSE by 52.3% compared to the multiple regression model.

일대다 형상을 갖는 통신시스템에서 많이 고려되는 예약 알로하 방식 매체접속제어 프로토콜의 성능은 예약 채널과 데이터 채널의 분배 양식에 의해 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 이 프로토콜을 직렬 2단 대기열 모델로 근사화하고, 데이터의 지연을 성능 척도로 하여 이를 줄이는 세가지 채널 할당 방식을 제시하였다. 그리고 이들에 대한 모의실험을 통해 그 동작 특성을 규명하고 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 이들의 성능은 트래픽의 특성, 특히 데이터 길이의 분산에 크게 의존하며, 일반적으로는 데이터에 우선권을 주는 방식이 우수하나, 데이터 길이의 분산이 큰 경우에는 비례배분 할당 방식이 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

The golden time of emergency vehicle is directly connected to the public safety. Therefore, national attention has increased to cut down the emergency vehicle's travel time. In order to shorten the intial dispatch time of it, emergency preemption system was installed at five intersections, and after test operation, whether it could be introduced in the country was estimated. We analyzed the effect of the traffic volume, emergency vehicle's travel time, and queue length under preemption and non-preemption. In the verification of the emergency preemption system, it was confirmed that the emergency vehicle's travel time was reduced from 350% to 24% compared to non-preemption system(TOD). In the saturated condition, queue length were remained 15 minutes and near saturated condition was about 30 or 45 minutes. At the non-saturated condition, the queue length's difference between emergency preemption system and general signal was small.

시뮬레이션 분야에서 출력 분석은 중요한 분야중의 하나로 출력 분석을 정확히 하기 위해서, 지금까지 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 시뮬레이션 출력 분석 분야에서 사용되지 않았던 프로크루스테스 분석(Procrustes Analysis) 방법을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 출력 데이타의 안정상태(steady state)를 분석하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 사용하는 프로크루스테스 분석 방법은 시뮬레이견 출력 분석을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있도록 앨고리듬을 개선하여 적용하며, M/M/1 대기모형을 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한다. M/M/1 대기모형에서 대기열의 평균대기시간과 평균길이라는 두가지 매개변수에 대한 출력 데이타를 동시에 사용하여, 프로크루스테스 분석을 행한 결과와 시뮬레이션 출력 분석에서 일반적으로 쓰이는 반복-제거 방법(replication-deletion approach)을 비교한 결과, 시뮬레이션 실행 횟수를 줄여도 추정하고자 하는 참값에 보다 더 가깝고 신뢰 구간의 폭이 더 좁은 추정치를 얻는다.
