This paper reviews and criticizes the EU Case of C-452/13, Germanwings GmbH v. Ronny Henning. Under this case, Ronny Henning later sued Lufthansa's budget carrier Germanwings after it refused to pay him 250 euros compensation for a delay he said totalled more than three hours. Germanwings, however, maintained his flight had arrived only two hours and 58 minutes behind schedule. In those circumstances, the following question to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for a preliminary ruling: What time is relevant for the term time of arrival used in Articles 2, 5 and 7 of Regulation [No 261/2004]: (a) the time that the aircraft lands on the runway (touchdown); (b) the time that the aircraft reaches its parking position and the parking brakes are engaged or the chocks have been applied (in-block time); (c) the time that the aircraft door is opened; (d) a time defined by the parties in the context of party autonomy? ECJ says that the situation of passengers on a flight does not change substantially when their aircraft touches down on the runway at the destination airport, when that aircraft reaches its parking position and the parking brakes are engaged or when the chocks are applied, as the passengers continue to be subject, in the enclosed space in which they are sitting, to various constraints. Therefore, it is only when the passengers are permitted to leave the aircraft and the order is given to that effect to open the doors of the aircraft that the passengers may in principle resume their normal activities without being subject to those constraints. ECJ rules that it is apparent that Articles 2, 5 and 7 of Regulation No 261/2004 must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of 'arrival time', which is used to determine the length of the delay to which passengers on a flight have been subject, corresponds to the time at which at least one of the doors of the aircraft is opened, the assumption being that, at that moment, the passengers are permitted to leave the aircraft.

Existing methods to measure are based on ToA (Timer of Arrival), RSS (Received Signal Strength), AoA(Angle of Arrival) and other methods. In this paper, we propose a compensation of ToA and RSS methods to measure more precisely the distance of nodes. The comparison experiments with the traditional ToA method show that the average error value of proposed method is reduced 30%. We believe that this proposal can improve location estimation of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks.

The term "incident duration time" is defined as the time from the occurrence of incident to the completion of the handling process. Reductions in incident durations minimize damages by traffic accidents. This study aims to develop models to identify factors that influence incident duration by investigating traffic accidents on highways. For this purpose, four models were established including an integrated model (Model 1) incorporating all accident data and detailed models (Model 2, 3 and 4) analyzing accidents by location such as basic section, bridges and tunnels. The result suggested that the location of incident influences incident duration and the time of arrival of accident treatment vehicles is the most sensitive factor. Also, significant implications were identified with regard to vehicle to vehicle accidents and accidents by trucks, in night or in weekends. It is expected that the result of this study can be used as important information to develop future policies to manage traffic accidents.

본 연구는 폐쇄된 임의의 공간상에서 2개의 마이크로폰 어레이를 이용 수신된 2개 신호의 도착 시간차를 계산하여 응원의 방향 각을 추정하는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 MSCPSP 알고리듬은 기존의 CPSP 알고리듬을 개선한것으로, 마이크로폰에 수신된 2개의 입력신호에 대해 서브밴드 필터 뱅크를 이용하여 대역 분할하고 각 서브밴드 대역에서 구해지는 신호 대 잡음비(SNH)를 대역별 CPSP 결과에 가중치로 제공한다. 이러한 대역 분할 가중방식은 잡음의 영향을 각 대역으로 한정 분산시켜 보다 정확한 지연 시간 추정을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능을 입증하기 위해 기존의 CPSP와 MSCPSP 알고리듬의 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과 제안된 MSCPSP의 우수함을 볼 수 있었다.

Typical activity-based travel analysis has been focused on passenger travel using household survey data. The current research focuses on freight transport using one-day travel survey data. Passenger travel can be seen as the outcome of traveller's subjective decision-making, whereas freight transport is the outcome of shipper or transport company's optimized scheduling. The research conducts an activity-based analysis of freight-vehicle trip chains. In particular, the research focuses on the difference in travel pattern between shipper-oriented private vehicle and transport company-oriented business vehicle. The research analyzed the travel diary of freight vehicles collected as part of the third national logistic survey in 2005. The diary is freight driver's one-day travel record including the information of loading capacity, item transported, destination, arrival time, etc. The analysis results show the difference between private and business vehicles in the travel pattern regarding the sequences of destination, destination type and item transported and the multi-dimensional information of the three sequences.

Purpose This study is to investigate regional characteristics of 119 ambulance dispatch and the relationship between the distance and response time to the scene. Methods This study was retrospectively conducted 119 running sheets with 1,321 patients who had been transferred to the hospital by 119 ambulance during ambulance attendant training. The training was performed at two, five and three fire station in Seoul, Daejeon and Chungnam respectively, from June 24, 2013 to July 19, 2014. Results Almost the emergency medical services provided were no more than basic first aid in all regions. The patients transferred by 119 ambulance in Seoul were more than other region. The time of call to scene and scene to hospital were the slowest in Chungnam. The major reason of call 119 was due to disease in Seoul and Daejeon, however due to injury in Chungnam. Conclusion Our study suggests that learning from ambulance attendant training course could diverse from region to region. It is, therefore, needed that standardization of ambulance attendant training course, appropriate logistics and resource allocation for providing universal quality of emergency medical services.

World's leading countries are developing next generation digital broadcasting system specifications to support UHDTV (ultra-high definition television) contents and other various services. In order to maximize the transmission capacity by using the bandwidth efficiently, most broadcasting systems adopt MIMO-OFDM. In distributed-MIMO systems, multiple transmit antennas are spatially separated and therefore result in multiple timing offsets. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a technique using a null symbol to detect each individual signal from distributed transmit antennas. By inserting null symbols before preambles, the receiver can distinguish the signals between each transmit antennas and perform frame synchronization. When the reception time difference is shorter than 500 samples, the proposed method outperforms the conventional method.

퇴근길에 필요한 물품을 사려고 네이트 드라이브를 가동해 근처에 할인마트를 찾았다. 네이트 드라이브에서 제공하는 방향을 따라 할인마트에 들어섰다. 핸드폰에 메시지가 도착해서 보니 그 할인마트에서 사용할 수 있는 쿠폰이 문자메시지로 날라왔다. 쿠폰을 이용해 필요한 물건을 좀더 싸게 산 다음 다시 시계를 보니 중요한 TV 프로를 봐야할 시간이 얼마 안남았다. 차에 올라타고 다시 네이트 드라이브를 가동해 가장 빠른길 안내를 받아 가까스로 늦지않게 도착했다. 미래의 얘기가 아니다. 지금도 비슷한 서비스가 제공되고 있지만, 곧 지금보다 정확하고 편리한 서비스가 우리곁에 다가올 예정이다. 정부는 9월 14일 국무회의를 열어 소방관서 등 공공구조기관이 긴급 구조요청을 받을 경우 위치정보사업자에게 개인 위치정보의 제공을 요청할 수 있도록 하는 것 등을 주요 골자로 한‘위치정보의 이용 및 보호 등에 관한 법률안(이후 LBS법)’을 제정키로 했으며, 이 법안은 9월 20일 현재 정기국회 통과를 기다리고 있다. 또 최근에 위치정보에 관한 사건이 두 가지가 발생했다. 하나는 삼성SDI 근로자들이 자신도 모르게 휴대폰 위치확인서비스를 통해 감시를 받아왔다는 것이고, 또 하나는 조난당한 등산객의 위치확인을 하지 못해 끝내 숨지는 사고가 발생했다는 것이다. 위의 두 사건은 남의 일이 아닌 우리 자신들의 일이 될 수도 있는 것이다. 이슈가 되고 있는 LBS법의 의미와 이 법이 우리 생활에 어떻게 작용할 것인지에 대해 살펴보고자 한다

In this paper, the natural space-time coding is applied for a DS-CDMA system with multiple transmit/receive antennas in a Rayleigh fading channel. With difference of arrival times from transmit antennas a modified maximum likelihood (ML) decoding algorithm is proposed for the space-time coded DS-CDMA system. The proposed decoding algorithm performs ML decoding over the transition of two consecutive branches by using a modified branch metric with the partial autocorrelation. By simulation, it is shown that the proposed decoding algorithm achieves significant performance improvement over the ML decoding algorithm without the modified branch metric.

In this paper, an adaptive interference canceller (AIC) Is applied to the space-time coded DS-CDMA system in fading channels with arrival time difference from multiple transmit antennas In a CDMA system, arrival time difference causes not only inter-antenna and Inter-symbol interference but also multiple-access Interference even in a downlink. To mitigate the effect of the Interferences an AIC and ML decoding joint scheme Is proposed fur a space-time coded DS-CDMA system in which an adaptation process of tile AIC is merged in the Viterbi decoding algorithm. The performance of the proposed receiver is evaluated for the system with two transmit antennas. It is shown that the proposed receiver achieves significant performance improvement over the ML decoding receiver without the AIC
