This study aims to develop the Vehicle Local Dynamic Map (V-LDM) and demonstrate its performance for providing dynamic map data efficiently to the vehicle control module. Firstly, the concept of the in-vehicle LDM has been established and then the system has been carefully designed according to the international standards. The high-precision digital map embedded in LDM has been designed to incorporate the lane-level information of road network, and the Dynamic Map protocol (DM protocol) which is a message protocol including the road data with dynamic traffic event data has been defined. The performance test of the proposed system has been conducted in the uninterrupted road section of Kyungbu expressway, showing that both of the data size and the elapsed time to finish the process are almost linearly proportional to the length of target road. Finally, it is recommended that the length of target road for DM protocol be less than 250m.

The SiOC film of carbon centered system was prepared using bistrimethylsilylmethane and oxygen mixed precursor by the chemical vapor deposition. The chemical properties of the SiOC film were analyzed by the contact anlge and FTIR spectra. The dielectric constant of the deposited films decreased after annealing process, and the correlation between the increasing the BTMSM/$O_2$ flow rate ratio and the dielectric constant did not exist. However, the trend of increasing or decreasing of the dielectric constant repeated and there is the correlation ship between the dielectric constant and the Si-O-C bond in the range of $950{\sim}1200\;cm^{-1}$. The dielectric constant decreased between samples with the chemical shift. The lowest dielectric constant was 1.65 at the sample, which was observed the chemical shift.

3-D image modeling is in high demand for automated visual inspection and non-destructive testing. It also can be useful in biomedical research, medical therapy, surgery planning, and simulation of critical surgery (i.e. cranio-facial). Image processing and image analysis are used to enhance and classify medical volumetric data. Analyzing medical volumetric data is very difficult In this paper, we propose a new image modeling method based on tetrahedrization to improve the visualization of three-dimensional medical volumetric data. In this method, the trivariate piecewise linear interpolation is applied through the constructed tetrahedral domain. Also, visualization methods including iso-surface, color contouring, and slicing are discussed. This method can be useful to the correct and speedy analysis of medical volumetric data, because it doesn't have the ambiguity problem of Marching Cubes algorithm and achieves the data reduction. We expect to compensate the degradation of an accuracy by using an adaptive sub-division of tetrahedrization based on least squares fitting.

Piezoresistive flow sensors with four different types of microbeam structures were fabricated using (100), n/$n^+$/n three-layer silicon wafer and their characteristics were investigated. Piezoresistors were formed through boron diffusion and its values were about $1\;k{\Omega}$. Three-dimensional silicon microbeams were constructed by porous silicon micromachining and curled microbeams were fabricated by the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between silicon and metal. The output response of the fabricated sensor was evaluated through half- bridge. The output voltage increased with increasing length of microbeam at the same flow velocity, while the detectable measurement range extended with decreasing length of microbeam. The output voltage of the fabricated sensors were increased with quotient of 3.2 of the flow rate since the stress of the beam versus the gas flow showed non-linear characteristics.

This paper concerns analysis technique on determining of attitude control gain in the low frequency region using stability area. The stability area is defined by the D-Decomposition method, which was designed by Neimark. In this paper, it is introduced D-Decomposition method from reference paper and design attitude control gain of generic launch vehicle during first stage flight phase. For selecting PD control gain, it is considered the system parameter uncertainty about whole first-stage flight phase, represented the stability area boundary on each case. After deciding the PD control gain using stability area method, it is applied to launch vehicle linear model, and checking the stability margin requirement, frequency response characteristics.

This paper represents a new approach for the protective relay of power transmission lines using a Artificial Neural Network(ANN). A different fault m transmission lines need to be detected classified and located accurately and cleared as fast as possible. However, The protection range of the distance relay is always designed on the basis of fixed settings, and unfortunately these approach do not have the ability to adapt dynamically to the system operating condition. ANN is suitable for the adaptive relaying and the detection of complex faults. The backpropagation algerian based multi-layer protection is utilized for the teaming process. It allows to make control to various protection functions. As expected, the simulation result demonstrate that this approach is useful and satisfactory.

This study investigated the effects of delineation systems on drivers' maneuver and how the effectiveness of delineation system can be further improved according to the road geometry. The experiments were conducted to collect lateral placement data and detection distance data using GPS equipped vehicles. The main results are summarizedas follows. Firstly, installing the delineation facilities on the roads helps drivers to recognize road alignment. Secondly, the detection distance is longer for delineators than for raised pavement marker in tangent section, while there is no difference in curve section. The chevron show the longest detection distance in the curve section, while the raised pavement markers showed no distinctive performance in terms of detection distance and lateral placement. Therefore, we can recommend install delineators in the tangent sections and chevrons in curve sections, based on the analysis results of effects of delineation facilities.

This paper presents a methodology for estimating average travel speed using volume and occupancy data from single magnetic loop detectors for signalized arterials. Three methods were developed and evaluated using field data: VPLUSKO method, fuzzy control method, and neural network method. While the VPLUSKO method is easy to apply, it results poor performances compared to other methods. The neural network method showed the best performances among the candidate methods. This method revealed the weakness in transferability, however. From limited cases of field test, it was concluded that the method of the fuzzy control application showed reasonable performance of estimation. It was also demonstrated that the fuzzy control method has the capability of transferability.

A traffic island, typical channelization facilities, is widely applied to newly road designs and black spots improvement projects as traffic safety measures. However positive effects of a traffic island for traffic safety have not been reported specifically. Accordingly this study analyzed the accidents reduction effectiveness and economics of installing traffic islands under various roadways and traffic conditions. For this purpose normality test, paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied to this study based on traffic accidents, roadways and traffic environments data for 3 years before and after improvement at 54 intersections. The results showed that most of traffic accidents were reduced significantly after installing traffic islands except when traffic islands were installed in outside of cities and farming regions where use efficiency is low, curve sections with poor visibility, poor alignment sections with acceleration/deceleration lanes, road sections where occurs conflicts frequently due to did not install of acceleration/deceleration lanes, and road sections where cross with single lane road.

An analytical method to predict qualitative performance characteristics of the Stirling Engines in the preliminary design stages is investigated. Both the expansion and the compression cylinder are treated as adiabatic and piston motions are approximated as saw-toothed waves. Basic equations which were originally proposed by Finkelstein consist of mass conservation and energy balances for each adiabatic cylinder. The approximation on piston motions and physical conditions make it possible to divide an engine cycle into four fundamental processes. In each process, first, pressure can be expressed as a function of the crank angle by solving a nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation and other thermodynamic variables are determined in turn. Application of the cyclic steady condition to the whole processes can complete a cycle. Also, further analysis results in analytic expressions for cyclic work and heat transfer in terms of the engine parameters and thermodynamic variables at boundary points. The results are expected useful as a quick reference for the engine performances. Finally, the present method can be applied to the other adiabatic analyses on the Stirling Engines with piece wise linear piston motions, if mass variations are predictable.
