Recently, in urban areas, cavities and ground collapse adjacent to underground structures are frequently reported. Several studies on the cavity generation by structure cracks have been made, however they are focused on the cause of cracks and settlement of the ground. In this paper, soil particle and groundwater discharge through pipe cracks and cavity generation mechanism are investigated. The theoretical analysis of the groundwater, which is the main factor of the drainage of the soil particles, and the particle transport mechanism and flow characteristics were investigated. An experimental model test was carried out to identify the mechanism of cavity generation by underground buried pipe cracks. The soil particle weight of discharge through the cracks, and the movement characteristics of the particles were analyzed using PIV. In this study, it is clearly identified that soil particle movements, cavity generation and ground collapse that occur in the ground are basically caused by the movement of groundwater.

Crowdedness management at subway platforms is essential to improve services, including the prevention of train delays and ensuring passenger safety. Establishing effective crowdedness mitigation measures for platforms requires accurate estimation of the congestion level. There are temporal and spatial constraints since crowdedness on subway platforms is assessed at certain locations every 1-2 years by hand counting. However, smart cards generate real-time big data 24 hours a day and could be used in estimating congestion. This study proposes a model based on data from transit cards to estimate crowdedness dynamically. Crowdedness was defined as demand, which can be translated into passengers dynamically moving along a subway network. The trajectory of an individual passenger can be identified through this model. Passenger flow that concentrates or disperses at a platform is also calculated every minute. Lastly, the platform congestion level is estimated based on effective waiting areas for each platform structure.

One of the major sources of air pollution is urban particulate matter (UPM), which causes lung diseases involving oxidative stress, inflammation, and cancer. Codonopsis lanceolata (CL) has been used in East Asia as a traditional oriental medicinal ingredient for lung diseases (e.g., asthma and bronchitis). However, the connection between the impact of CL and UPM in the lungs has rarely been investigated. This study aimed to confirm the inhibitory activity of the ethanol extract of CL (ECL) against oxidative stress and disruption of tight cell junctions in human pulmonary epithelial cells after exposure to UPM. As the lung cells were pre-treated with ECL, the UPM-induced increase in cellular reactive oxygen species production suppressed tight junction proteins (e.g., N-cadherin, fibronectin, occludin, zonula occludens-1, and claudin-4). These results suggest that ECL prevents the possible effects of UPM toxicity on the lungs.

Recently, the seriousness of ultrafine dust and fine dust has emerged as a national disaster, but small and medium-sized cities in provincial areas lack fine dust monitoring stations compared to their area, making it difficult to manage fine dust. Although the computing resources for collecting and processing fine dust data are not large, it is necessary to utilize cloud and private and public data to share data. In this paper, we proposed a small edge computing system that can measure fine dust, ultrafine dust and temperature and humidity and process it to provide real-time control of fine dust and service to the public. Collecting fine dust data and using public and private data to service fine dust ratings is efficient to handle with edge computing using raspberry pie because the amount of data is not large and the processing load is not large. For the experiment, the experiment system was constructed using three sensors, raspberry pie and Thinkspeak, and the fine dust measurement was conducted in northern part of kyongbuk region. The results of the experiment confirmed the measured fine dust measurement results over time based on the GIS data of the private sector.

Currently, as part of the ICT Smart City, the company is building C-ITS(Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems) for solving urban traffic problems. In order to realize autonomous driving service with C-ITS, the role of advanced road infrastructure is important. In addition to the study of mid- to long-term C-ITS and autonomous driving services, it is necessary to present more realistic solutions for road traffic safety in the short term. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a highway accident detection alarm system that can detect and analyze traffic flow and risk information, which are essential information of C-ITS, based on IoT guard rail and provide immediate alarm and remote control. Intelligent IoT guard rail is expected to be used as an intelligent advanced road infrastructure that provides data at actual road sites that are required by C-ITS and self-driving services in the long term.

Recently, various piloti structures have been constructed in Korea to secure residential and parking spaces. However, these piloti structures have been constructed in the form of protruding columns without walls to secure parking spaces on the first floor. In this form, when an earthquake occurs, the column is relatively easily damaged compared to general structures, and such damage can lead to the collapse of the structure. Therefore, in this study, a study on securing the safety of the piloti structure using the MPS (Multi Performance System) seismic isolation device was conducted. Nonlinear dynamic analysis according to the presence or absence of MPS seismic isolation device was performed on the existing piloti structure, and analysis results were compared and analyzed. Finally, each seismic performance evaluation was performed and the superiority of the MPS seismic isolation device was verified.

This study analyzed the bicycle traffic patterns and identified the influence factors for each traffic purpose using the household traffic conditions survey for Seoul. The results are summarized as follows. First, as a result of surveying the bicycle traffic ratios according to the administrative dongs, there was a difference of 14.2% by region. Second, various personal characteristic variables, such as age, gender, income, occupation, and housing type, affect the bicycle mode choice, and bicycle passage increases when using facilities in residential areas. Third, among the neighborhood environments, the bicycle traffic for commuting purposes appeared to increase more in the areas of higher land use mix and lower crime rates. In addition, the bicycle road density and the inclination of the area commonly affect bicycle travel for commuting, shopping, exercising, and leisure.

As the demand for shared-type electric kickboards increases day by day, various companies in Korea are also providing shared-type electric kickboard rental services. With the rapid growth of related fields, users can easily rent shared electric kickboards in the vicinity, but management after use is not performed properly due to the absence of a designated rental station, and It is a situation that electric kickboards are being damaged. For this reason, citizens' perception of shared electric kickboards has changed negatively, and it is said that the service of shared electric bicycles is limited in some cities. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a user filtering system that extracts Black Consumers that can negatively affect the rental system through indiscriminate use. When this system is introduced, it is expected that safe electric kickboard use and management will be possible.
