This research deals with generating via points for autonomous navigation on a roadway for unmanned vehicles. When a vehicle plans a path from a starting point to a goal point, it should be able to map out which lane on which road it passes by. For this purpose, we should organize positional information of roads and save it as a database. This paper presents methods to save the database and to plan a shortest path to the goal by generating via points in consideration of the moving direction and the lane directions. Then we prove that the proposed algorithm can find the optimal path on the road through simulations.

본논문은 TCP/IP를 사용하는 기존의 LAN상에 이동 호스트들이 셀의 형태로 덧붙여진 환경에서 이동 호스트와 고정 호스트간의 지속적인 세션을 지원하는 개선된 IP 체계인 SIMIP을 제안하였다. 이동형 프로토콜 설계시 라우팅 최적화가 매우 중요한 항목이고 이는 이동 호스트의 위치정보 관리방법과 직접적인 관계가 있다. 기존의 아이비엠과 마쓰시다 제안은 이를 집중화하였으며 콜롬비아와 소니제안은 이를 분산화하였다. MH 위치정보를 집중화하면 트라이앵글 문제로 인해 최적의 라우팅 경로를 지원할 수 없으며 집중화된 라우터의 실패 발생시는 위험도가 매우 크다. 반면에 분산화하면 위의 문제들은 해결되지만 캡슐화되는 주소를 찾기위해 CACH 또는 AMT와 같은 복잡한 기법이 요구된다. SIMIP은 MH위치정보를 DMR에 집중화하였으나 DMR 실패 발생시는 복수의 GMR중에서 하나가 자동적으로 DMR로 대체되어 위험도를 최소화시켰고, 'DMR 경로변경'에 의해 최적의 라우팅 경로를 지원하였다는 점에서 다른 제안들과 차이가 있다. 이동에 따른 주소변경을 해결하기 위해 가상네트워크 기법을 적용하였고, 이동 호스트로의 데이터 송신시 디폴트 라우팅 개념을 이용하였고, 이동라우터간 터널링에 IPIP 캡슐화를 사용하였다. SIMIP은 다른 제안에 비해 실용성있고, 신뢰성이 강하며, 구현이 용이하므로 산업계에서 활용가치가 있으리라본다.

이 논문에서는 소포 배달 서비스를 위한 인텔리전트 모니터링 시스템(Intelligent Monitoring and Control System; IMCS)에 대해 기술한다. IMCS 는 GIS, GPS 그리고 무선 통신 기술을 이용하여 택배의 접수와 배달 업무를 효율적이고 효과적으로 개발하기 위한 시스템이다. IMCS는 모두 세개의 서브 시스템으로 구성되어 있는데 접수와 배달 계획을 수립하는 PDPS(Pick-up and Delivery Planning System)과 접수/배달 현황과 차량의 위치를 파악할 수 있는 PDMS(Pick-up and Delivery Monitoring System), 그리고 개인휴대단말기(PDA)을 이용한 실시간 업무 처리 시스템인 MOCS(Mobile Operations and Communication System)으로 구성되어 있다. PDPS는 GIS와 최적화 알고리즘을 이용하여 접수와 배달을 위한 방문 순서와 경로 그리고 고객에게 방문할 예정시간 등을 생성한다. MOCS에서는 GPS와 무선 통신을 이용하여 업무 중 발생한 접수/배달 결과와 위치 정보를 실시간으로 PDMS에 전송하고 바코드 스캐닝과 전자 서명 등의 업무를 지원한다. PDMS에서는 수신한 정보에 따라 소포의 접수/배달 현황과 차량의 위치를 전자지도 상에 표현하고 업무 차량의 이동 궤적을 표시하여 계획된 경로와 비교하여 모니터링하고 관제할 수 있다. 현재 IMCS는 국내 한 우체국에서 시범 운영되고 있다.

The object of this study is to develope a program with proposed numerical techniques for an optimal seismic control of structures using active tendon systems. Ricatti closed-loop algorithm has been applied to control the active tendon systems with time-delay problem. The optimal control is formulated as an optimization problem which is finding optimal weighting matrices by minimizing the quadratic performance index by SUMT. In order to find the optimal location of active tendons in structures, controllability index has been introduced. From numerical examples, the current optimal control technique with optimal location of tendons was suitable to control the seismic response of structures.

A simulation-optimization model is developed for development of groundwater and control of a saltwater wedge for protecting over-exploiting freshwater pumping wells. To achieve the goal an objective function is developed for three types of wells: freshwater pumping, freshwater injection and saltwater pumping. Integrity of groundwater environment is accounted for by including three indices. Illustrative cross-sectional examples show that both types of barriers can protect freshwater pumping wells from saltwater intrusion. A barrier well operating at the same rate located anywhere within a certain reach can protect a pumping well. However, the location of the reach appears to contradict the common practice of barrier placements. Consideration of the groundwater environment yields a unique optimal location for barrier wells.

This paper proposes a novel method for the recognition of the inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) image of multiple targets flying in formation. Rather than separating the ISAR image of each target, the proposed method combines an ISAR image obtained by fusing the ISAR images in the training database. Fusion is conducted by optimizing the non-linear problem whose parameters are the aspect angle and the target location. Assuming that the aspect angle is properly estimated, the proposed method estimates the number of the targets and their locations by optimizing the template matching using PSO. In simulations using the F-16 scale model, the efficiency of the proposed method was demonstrated by yielding the ISAR image identical to that of targets in formation.

The capability of accurate positioning and tracking is necessary to implement an unmanned autonomous driving system. The moving-baseline GPS Technique is a promising candidate to mitigate positioning errors of conventional GPS system. It provides accurate positioning data based on the phase difference between received signals from multiple GPS antennas mounted on the same platform. In this paper, we propose a dual-band dual-circularly-polarized antenna suitable for the moving-baseline GPS. The proposed antenna operates at GPS L1 and L2 bands, and fed by the side of the antenna instead of the bottom. The antenna is firstly designed by calculating theoretical values of key parameters, and then optimized by means of 3D full-wave simulation software. Simulation and measurement results show that the optimized antenna offers 6.1% and 3.7% bandwidth at L1 and L2, respectively, with axial ratio bandwidth of more than 1%. The size of the antenna is $73mm{\times}73mm{\times}6.4mm$, which is small and low-profile.

In this paper, we optimize antenna locations for a distributed antenna system (DAS) with distributed antenna (DA) ports equipped with multiple antennas under per-DA port power constraint. Maximum ratio transmission and scaled zero-forcing beamforming are employed for single-user and multi-user DAS, respectively. Instead of maximizing the cell average ergodic sum rate, we focus on a lower bound of the expected signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the single-cell scenario and the expected signal-to-leakage ratio (SLR) for the two-cell scenario to determine antenna locations. For the single-cell case, optimization of the SNR criterion generates a closed form solution in comparison to conventional iterative algorithms. Also, a gradient ascent algorithm is proposed to solve the SLR criterion for the two-cell scenario. Simulation results show that DAS with antenna locations obtained from the proposed algorithms achieve capacity gains over traditional centralized antenna systems.

A damage detection and assessment algorithm is developed by measuring accelerations at limited locations of a structure under forced vibrations. The developed algorithm applies a time-domain system identification (SI) method that identifies a structure by solving a linearly constrained nonlinear optimization problem for optimal structural parameters. An equation error of the dynamic equilibrium of motion is minimized to estimate optimal parameters. An adaptive parameter grouping scheme is applied to localize damaged members with sparse measured accelerations. Damage is assessed in a statistical manner by applying a time-windowing technique to the measured time history of acceleration. Displacements and velocities at the measured degrees of freedom (DOF) are computed by integrating the measured accelerations. The displacements at the unmeasured DOF are estimated as additional unknowns to the unknown structural parameters, and the corresponding velocities and accelerations we computed by a numerical differentiation. A numerical simulation study with a truss structure is carried out to examine the efficiency of the algorithm. A data perturbation scheme is applied to determine the thresholds lot damage indices and to compute the damage possibility of each member.

An optimum configuration of the hybrid/dual swirl jet combustor for a micro-gas turbine was investigated experimentally. Location of pilot nozzle, angle and direction of swirler vane were varied systematically as main parameters under the conditions of constant thermal load. The results showed that the variation in locations of inner fuel nozzle and pilot burner resulted in significant change in flame shape and swirl intensity due to the changes in recirculating flow pattern and minimum flow area near burner exit, in particular, with the significant reduction of CO emission near lean-flammability limit. In addition, it was observed that the co-swirl configuration produced less CO and NOx emissions compared to the counter-swirl configuration.
