This research shows the relationship between the number of trains and the probability of trains with arrival delay and suggests way to estimate the benefits of improved punctuality in a bottleneck section of the Gyeongbu Line. The arrival delays of high-speed and conventional trains were estimated using the train operation data of KORAIL. Linear regression models for the probability of trains with arrival delay by train type are presented in this paper. The probabilities of trains with arrival delay were more affected by the number of conventional trains than by the number of high-speed rail trains. For the empirical analysis, a project for increasing the capacity in the Seoul~Geumcheongu office section was tested. The benefits of the improved punctuality were estimated to be 4.2~4.5 billion Korean won every year. This research has some limitations but it can help evaluate more precisely the feasibility of the project of increasing the capacity in bottleneck sections.

국내 주요하천은 지속적인 산업화와 난개발로 인해 생태계파괴 및 수변생물의 서식처 환경 악화로 하천 생태계에 많은 악영향을 받고 있다. 그러나 1990년대 이후 국내에서는 하천의 기능과 생물의 다양성, 하천환경 및 생태학적인 가치와 중요성에 대한 인식이 매우 커짐에 따라 하천의 생태적 기능을 매우 중요시 하고 있으며, 하천의 난개발로 인한 피해를 복원하기 위해 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 대표적인 연구로 생태계 건전화 개념을 도입하여 담수성 어류 서식처 제공 및 이동에 필요한 유량을 산정한 한국 수자원공사(1995)의 연구가 있으며, 김규호 등(1996a, 1996b)은 물고기 서식처 환경 중 특히 수심과 유속 등 수리조건을 유지하기 위한 최소유량 산정 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 노경범(2011)은 섬진강의 하천환경 회복을 위한 연구대상 구간에서의 대표어종을 선정하여 서식처 특성 파악을 위해 하천 특성을 연구하였다. 이와 같이 현재 국내에서도 하천의 기능과 생태학적 기능을 위한 노력과 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 생태학적 서식처 연구에서는 아직까진 미진한 부분이 많이 있다. 그 예로 보호종이나 멸종위기어종과 같은 생물의 서식처 확보를 위한 연구가 아직까지는 많은 노력과 연구가 필요한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 환경부에서 지정한 멸종위기 1급 어종인 퉁사리를 대상으로 서식환경 특성 연구를 진행하였으며, 퉁사리의 생태학적 서식특성과 현재 지석천 상류 유역에서 관찰되고 있는 서식구간을 중심으로 MD-SWMS (Multi-Dimensional, Surface Water Modeling System) 모형을 이용하여 수리특성 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 하상재료 입도분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 입도가 큰 굵은모래 및 잔자갈, 굵은자갈로 구성되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 수리학적 특성분석결과 서식구간 내에서는 비교적 빠른 유속이 나타났다. 이러한 퉁사리의 서식환경의 특성 분석으로 서식구간 내 입도가 큰 하상재료로 구성되어 있으며, 퇴적구간이 생성되지 않을 정도의 유사이송량과 유속이 필요할 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 퉁사리의 장기적인 서식환경 조성과 보존을 위해 대상구간의 유사이송의 연구와 실측 및 수변환경 모니터링을 통한 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study conducted uniaxial tension tests on D10, D19, D29, and D35 SD400 steel-grade rebar and evaluated the strain distributions and necking regions to provide basic data for resolving differences between evaluation methods. Owing to the limitations of the existing measurement methods, this study conducted detailed evaluations of the strain of the rebar and necking regions using image processing, which is almost limitless on the measurement range and can easily distinguish measurement regions. The strain was concentrated at the region where necking occurred when the rebar approached its ultimate strength, which was successfully confirmed through image processing. The correlation between the length of the necking region and the diameter of the rebar could be analyzed by evaluating the necking region that occurs during the ultimate behavior of the rebar. According to the results, the length of the necking region is around 1.5~2.5 times the diameter of the rebar.

Variable speed limit(VSL) is a useful speed management tool for alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing traffic safety. The purpose of this study is to identify promising freeway segments for safety enhancement through VSL operations. An ordered probit model was adopted to capture factors affecting freeway crash severity that can be used to support decision making for selecting the promising segments. Pseudo elasticity and marginal effects, which are outcomes of the ordered probit analysis, were used to determine priority of promising segments for traffic safety. The results of this study would be useful in installing VSL systems and developing traffic control and operations strategies in practice.

The Continuous Risk Profile (CRP) has been well known to be the most accurate and efficient among existing network screening methods. However, the classical CRP uses safety performance functions (SPFs) which require a huge investment to construct a database system. This study aims to suggest a new CRP method using average crash frequencies of homogeneous groups, instead of SPFs, as rescaling factors. Hierarchical clustering analysis is performed to classify freeway segments into homogeneous groups based on the data of AADT and number of lanes. Using the data from I-880 in California, the proposed method is compared to other several network screening methods. The results show that the proposed method decrease false positive rates while it does not produce any false negatives. The method developed in this study can be easily applied to screen freeway networks without any additional complex database systems, and contribute to the improvement of freeway safety management systems.

One of main aspects of time series analysis is to forecast future values of series based on values up to a given time. The prediction interval for future values is usually obtained under the normality assumption. When the assumption is seriously violated, a transformation of data may permit the valid use of the normal theory. We investigate the prediction problem for future values in the original scale when transformations are applied in ARMA models. In this paper, we introduce the methodology based on Yeo-Johnson transformation to solve the problem of skewed data whose modelling is relatively difficult in the analysis of time series. Simulation studies show that the coverage probabilities of proposed intervals are closer to the nominal level than those of usual intervals.

In the design and construction of Keystone block reinforced wall with geogrid, previous on the behaviour of wall in curved area is required. This study is to investigate the structural stability of wall and problems during construction in curved area. Previous analyzing methods, usually used for straight area of wall, have been reviewed to find any problems in applying to stability analysis of curved area. Thus, the purpose of this study is to show how to analyse the straight area of Keystone block wall first, and then turn this to use for analyzing various significance, concerning the design or construction of curved high keystone block wall. and the stress behavior on retaining wall between straight and curved conditions by F.E.M, using the shell analysis theory.

The double sampling scheme is effective in reducing the sampling cost. However, the doubly sampled data is contaminated by two types of error, namely false-positive and false-negative errors. These would make the statistical analysis more difficult, and it would require more sophisticate analysis tools. For instance, the Wald method for the interval estimation of a proportion would not work well. In fact, it is well known that the Wald confidence interval behaves very poorly in many sampling schemes. In this note, the property of the Wald interval is investigated in terms of the coverage probability and the expected width. An alternative confidence interval based on the Agresti-Coull's approach is recommended.

Transition curves are located between curve and straight section in railway. These transition curves are vulnerable to the ride comfort of passengers and safety of a vehicle because lateral acceleration, lateral jerk and roll velocity increase as curvature and cant change along the transition curves. In this paper, ride comfort on the transition curve was calculated on the basis of lateral acceleration and roll velocity measurements. The evaluation of ride comfort was conducted according to the methodology specified in European Standard. The distribution characteristics of the comfort index were investigated for the korean conventional line from the evaluation results. The influence of the curve radius and the vehicle speed on the ride comfort index was also investigated. Finally, the relationship between ride comfort and the rate of cant changes on transition curves was analyzed.

최근 호내 조류문제가 심각해지고 있는 상황이다. 2017년도에는 남강댐의 조류경보 발령이 동절기인 12월까지 지속됨에 따라 지역 사회의 수질관리 불안이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 호내 조류생장과 수심에 따라 수질에 관하여 연구하였다. 남강댐을 포함하고있는 남강댐 중권역은 경호강으로부터 남강댐까지 해당하며, 낙동강 전체 면적에 7.2%에 달하는 $2.293km^2$의 유역면적을 가지는 중권역이다. 남강댐 중권역에서 광역 및 지방을 포함하는 취수장이 총 10개 이며, 남강댐 중권역 내취수량의 95% 이상을 차지하는 남강 취수원과 진주 취수원이 남강댐 호소수에 의존하고 있으므로 남강댐 상수원의 수질 관리는 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 남강댐의 효과적인 수질관리를 위해 호내 조류 생장 구간의 특성을 파악하여 수질변화에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 남강댐 내의 조류 생장 구간인 오미천 유입부와 신풍리 지류 합류부 두 구간의 수심별 pH, DO, EC, 세포수, 클로로필을 측정하여 비교하였으며, 두 구간의 특성을 비교 분석 하였다. 본 연구는 조류 생장 구간인 두 지점의 특성을 파악에 비교 분석하며, 수심별 수질 변화를 예측하여 상수원으로 이용되고 있는 남강댐 호내의 수질관리에 필요한 선행 자료가 되고자 하였다.
