The purpose of this study is to estimate the appropriate Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) fare for bus users upon introduction of the system, which is to improve ridership on economically non-profitable routes and to conform to the mobility right of those living in presently non-serviced rural areas. For this, a stated preference (SP) survey was adopted to assess respondents' preferences regarding DRT introduction, while the contingent valuation method (CVM) was used to calculate their willingness to pay (WTP) for DRT services. The analysis results show that, compared to the existing bus services with a 1,000 won bus fare, the value of DRT is considered to be 38.85%, 31.03% and 30.12% higher in terms of overall assessment, usability and convenience, respectively. The results of this study are expected to facilitate the decision making aimed at setting the appropriate DRT fare and implementing a DRT system that meets sustainability requirements.

무선 이동 네트워크 환경을 이용하여 특정교역에 산재해 있는 노상 및 노외 유·무료 주자창의 무인 요금징수장비를 실 시간으로 제어·관리하여 이용자에게 휴대용 컴퓨터 핀 셀룰러폰을 통해 정보를 제공할 수 있는 주차관리시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 각 요금징수장비는 현재 상용화되어 있는 각 통신사의 PCS 또는 Cellular Phone의 COMA SMS(Code Division Multiple Access Short Message Service)를 이용하여 장비의 상태 및 제어 기법을 제안하였으며, 이 경우 추가적인 무선망 관리장비가 필요 없이 mobile phone만을 이용하기 때문에 아직 일반화되지 않은 고비용의 무선패킷통신을 대신할 수 있어 향후 S/W 교체만으로 전환 가능하여 보다 유용한 기법이 될 것으로 기대 된다.

최근 급진전되고 있는 인터넷의 광대역화와 다양한 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 수요확대 그리고 인터넷 이용자의 급증 등으로 인터넷 트래픽은 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 최선형 패킷교환방식인 현 인터넷은 급증하는 네트워크 수요를 감당하기에 이미 기술적 한계를 드러내고 있을 뿐 아니라, 네트워크 확장을 통하여 급증하는 트래픽을 수용하는 것도 경제적으로 한계수위에 도달하고 있다. 따라서 네트워크 수요 대비 공급량의 불균형으로 인터넷망에서의 혼잡(congestion)문제가 점차 중요한 이슈로 제기되고 있으며, 이런 문제의 해결방안으로 네트워크공급을 늘리거나, 초과수요를 줄이는 방안에 대한 논의와 구체적인 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 간단한 기술 경제학적 모형을 이용하여 혼잡의 원인과 이에 대한 해결방향에 대하여 분석적인 설명을 시도하였다. 특히 본 고에서는 인터넷 혼잡의 원인이 '부정적 네트워크 외부성' 이 존재하기 때문이며, 실무적으로 혼잡문제 해결의 대표적인 대안으로 적용되고 있는 네트워크의 용량확대는 혼잡해결의 근본적인 대안이 되지 못하고, 반면 실무적으로 별로 주목받고 있지 않는 네트워크 투자를 최소화하고 트래픽을 통제할 수 있는 '혼잡세'를 부과할 수 있는 요금제 도입이 효율적인 혼잡 해결방안 임을 밝히고 있다.

Personal Rapid Transit(PRT) has emerged as a promising transportation mode for transit-oriented sustainable communities. In this study, an alternative design of questionnaire survey is proposed in order to capture traveler's perception of an unexperienced transportation mode. This study aims at predicting the mode choice diversion behavior of potential PRT users who do not have experience of using it previously, considering their willingness-to-pay. The proposed model was applied to predict an aggregate forecast of PRT patronage for the city of Songdo where PRT is considered to be constructed. For validation of the proposed model, the price elasticity of PRT demand was analyzed, compared with existing models. The analysis results suggest that the proposed design of questionnaire survey is able to capture respondents' attitude and perception to unexperienced transportation mode in an effective manner. Also, they show that the proposed diversion rate model is more realistic than existing models in explaining the effects of users' willingness-to-pay for predicting PRT patronage.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of information on Bus-Route concerning on the User's Individual value. The value of information is estimated with the price of time saving by using the information. The price of unit time for each user is applied to convert the saving time to the cost. To estimate the user's expense from origin to destination the previous model is modified. Bus-travel cost is estimated with variables such as bus-travel time, bus-interval, bus-fare, and the price of walking distance. In this study, to estimate in-vehicle time the bus-travel time model is developed based on the spatial characteristics distinguished by three types of circular-road in the network of Daegu Metropolitan area. For the case study, a set of the origin and destination is selected as Dalsu-gu District Office and East Daegu Train Station respectively. There are several bus-routes which can be used as direct or transferable bus-routes selected. The study showed that when the value of time for individual users is \1,738/hr, there is no benefit to using information of transferable bus-routes. It also showed that the more discount rates of bus fare is increased, the benefit to using information of transferable bus-routes is increased, and that the lower value of time is, the benefit to using information of transferable bus-routes is increased.

This study explores horizontal equity problems in the Seoul Subway System by using costs per passenger kilometer as a comparison index. In general, subway users in the central area, except Line 1, are subsidizing users in fringe areas. Spatial differentiation of user cross subsidies in the area is due mainly to interactions between factors such as vehicle kilometers traveled, number of passengers, and length of segments. In order to decrease levels of user cross subsidies among the users and so relieve honzontal equity problems associated with subway use, it is necessary to develop a user fare system in which portions of marginal costs of subway use can be distributed properly among users. However, two-stage fare structure of the subway system in the study area is based only on trip distance, and so marginal costs associated with subway use are not properly reflected in user fees. Therefore, horizontal equity of the system in the study area is affected because of inappropriate user fees.

The bus transfer system has been extended from Seoul to Gyonggi province to provide better Seoul metropolitan area transit service in September, 2008. Moreover, the curved bus routes, except existing rapid bus routes, which cause longer travel time have been straightened out. Also, the Skip Stop operation suggested by passengers has been introduced to main stops in the newly added express bus lines. This study surveyed passengers service satisfaction for the recent adopted bus policies such as the transfer discount system and the express bus system in Seoul Metropolitan area. The survey results may be important foundation for future strategies for improvement. The survey included questionnaires about the importance and the satisfaction level on both quantitative and qualitative factors. The results were statistically analyzed by the modified IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis). As the result of the survey, the newly adopted services such as fare system, fare discount on transferring, travel time savings and increased number of stops are economically feasible and satisfactory, whereas the accessibility to stops, ventilation and air quality in vehicles are the priorities to be improved. Also, the safety and the information system is in need of improvement.

This paper analyzes internet access model between ISP, CP and end users where CP uses various technologies to provide direct access to ISP owning subscribers to consume its own contents in low cost and high quality. The level of access charge depends on the competitiveness of CP market. When CP market is perfect competitive, the level of access charge is identical to that of social optimum while when CP market is monopoly, the level of access charge is influenced by the sensitivity of the contents price to access charge for CP. The dead weight loss due to monopoly market in CP can be removed by the regulation of access charge. Socially optimal access charge in monopoly market of CP is lower than that in competitive market. This is because the regulator wants to set access price to lower level to reduce welfare loss from monopoly in CP market where CP determines the price to over marginal cost.

There is a two lane ECTS(Electronic Toll Collection System) that users can pass with 80kph high speed in SeoBusan Tall Gate. This system to be combined two hi-pass lanes for removing meddle-island have been operated successfully. But, the appearance of two Lane ETCS makes toll gate more complicated, so it is very important how to arrange effectively various tolling lanes. This study was trying to evaluate lane configuration for minimizing speed and speed deviation among all kinds of lanes including two Lane ETCS in seoul toll gate. That is, we selected all scenarios to be happened actually, and evaluated them using micro traffic simulation model (VISSIM). The results of this study showed that each alternative had a very different speed and speed deviation by lane each other, so we will be able to achieve effective operation and configuration of lanes in toll gate using scenario methodology.

The purpose of this paper is to empirically identify whether unit bias exists or not under the flat rate pricing in the Korean mobile telecommunication market and to give the desirable form of pricing plans for minimizing this irrational behaviors. Our results show that with the flat rate pricing consumers tends to make more voice or data traffic over their optimal consumption level, meaning the existence of unit bias in the Korean mobile market. These results imply that under the current pricing plans subscribers may pay higher monthly fee than their optimal cost which maximizes their utility, for using the telecommunications service. Thus, policy makers need to consider adopting mobile operators' segmentation of the flat rate pricing plans for the reduction of subscribers' telecommunications costs and the improvement of consumer welfare.
