This study is carried out to evaluate the sight distance change due to construction errors of vertical crest curves. Various design speeds and grades as well as various size of construction errors are incorporated in this study. After showing theoretical methodology numerical results are compared and analysed for the given ranges of parameters. New vertical curve change rate(m/%) is suggested to guarantee minimum sight distance under construction errors. As to the results, the reduction of sight distance are $2.8{\sim}21.3m$ at 120km/h, $2.0{\sim}15.1m$ at 100km/h, $1.4{\sim}10.6m$ at 80km/h, $1.0{\sim}7.5m$ at 60km/h $0.5{\sim}3.9m$ at 40km/h. Vortical curve change rates need to be increased about $6{\sim}25%$ to provide minimum stopping sight distance according to design speed.

In this paper, the dynamic buffering based smart OTT platform was proposed, and analyzed for adaptive bit-rate video delivery with the optimization of HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). This platform consists of the software platform between sever and client which detects the bandwidth capacity, and adjusts the quality of the streaming for multiple bit-rates resolutions. In order to apply adaptive buffering, two buffers are added to the basic HLS player, and each buffer is responsible for constantly buffering a previous and the next channels relative to the current channel. This adaptive transmitting with smart OTT platform is superior to delivering a static video file at a single buffering, because the video stream of adaptive double buffers can be switched streaming according to client's available network speed. As a result, this proposed smart OTT can be cooperated to the application of HLS server with segmented H.265 MPEG-2 TS video & m3u8 files with its information based on the optimized transmission channel state of live and VOD, and applied to PLC transmission, too.

Suppression of sloshing is essential to achieve fast transportation and stable maneuvering of tanks partially filled with liquid. In this study, numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of the acceleration magnitude and the acceleration duration of triangular velocity profiles on sloshing when a rectangular tank moves horizontally. We previously reported, based on only the first natural mode, that sloshing is significantly suppressed when the acceleration duration equals the first natural period of sloshing. On the other hand, the present CFD simulations find the best acceleration duration for minimum sloshing and explains the results considering higher modes as well as the first mode. We also perform the analysis using an equivalent model based on masses and springs, and evaluate its accuracy by comparing it with the CFD simulation results.

The motivation of this study comes from the problem recognition that the headway of passing vehicle in signalized intersections can not be merely determined by departing sequence. Traffic speed and headway data of passing vehicles in signalized intersection have been obtained by using magnetic detectors(NC 97) and detecting program, and the data was analyzed. Without special treatment, the model established on passing behavior of vehicles was meaningless from statistical view point. Hence, special treatments such as filtering (upper 85% offensive driver driven vehicle's) and log scaling of data were carried on. With this new data, meaningful model (where coefficient of determination is 0.91) was established. This model explained the fact that vehicle headway in signalized intersection is affected by speed and headway of previous vehicle and speed of itself.

This paper considers the transfer alignment in the inertial navigation system which has lever-arm and the time delay in the velocity measurement. We suggest a method to improve the performance of the velocity matching. First, we analyze the estimation performance of the velocity matching through the tuning of the two covariance matrices of process noise and measurement noise. Next we provide some maneuvering conditions of the vehicles to improve the estimation performance using the observability analysis. The analysis results are verified using the computer simulations, which show that cruise movements do not provide the azimuth estimation of the vehicles, while east or north accelerating movement can provide.

Due to the mathematical convergence property, Simulated Annealing (SA) has been one of the most popular optimization algorithms. However, because of its problem of slow convergence in the practical use, many variations of SA like Fast SA (FSA) have been developed for faster convergence. In this paper, we propose and prove that Greedy SA (GSA) also finds the global optimum in probability in the continuous space optimization problems. Because the greedy selection does not allow the cost to become worse, GSA is expected to have faster convergence than the conventional FSA that uses Metropolis selection. In the computer simulation, the proposed method is shown to have as good performance as FSA with Metropolis selection in the viewpoints of the convergence speed and the quality of the found solution. Furthermore, the greedy selection does not concern the cost value itself but uses only dominance of the costs of solutions, which makes GSA invariant to the problem scaling.

Adaptive filtering method is one of signal processing area which is frequently used in the case of statistical characteristic change in time-varing situation. The performance of adaptive filter is usually evaluated with complexity of its structure, convergence speed and misadjustment. The structure of adaptive filter must be simple and its speed of adaptation must be fast for real-time implementation. In this paper, we propose chirp discrete cosine transform (CDCT), which has the characteristics of CZT (chrip z-transform) and DCT (discrete cosine transform), and then CDCTLMS (chirp discrete cosine transform LMS) using the above mentioned algorithm for the improvement of its speed of adaptation. Using loaming curve, we prove that the proposed method is superior to the conventional US (normalized LMS) algorithm and DCTLMS (discrete cosine transform LMS) algorithm. Also, we show the real application for the ultrasonic signal processing.

The percussion rate and spacing of the button of drill bit are very important in maximizing the drilling efficiency. Therefore, a series of percussion tests using Hopkinson bar system was carried out to assess the fragmentation performance against the beat rate and spacing of a drill bit. First, single percussion test complemented with numerical simulation was performed to analyze rock fragmentation phenomenon and to describe the fragmentation process. Next, multiple percussion test that repetitively strike the rock sample moving at predetermined rate was carried out to predict drilling efficiency against the button spacing. After the tests, the fragmented volume of the rock was measured by laser scanner and the drilling performance was analyzed using the calculated percussive energy and measured negative volume. Based on the results, the single impact performance of drill bit with 102 mm diameter was predicted.

Pin-on-disk test is a suggested abrasion testing method by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). This briefly illustrated the Archimedean spiral motion of a pin type specimen on a disk. To apply this method to rock cutting tools, a constant linear velocity (CLV) is precisely maintained during the test. We defined the two velocity vectors (RPM and horizontal speed) which connected to the resultatnt velocity. We derived a differential equations for the two parameters under CLV condition. It was difficult to find a exact solution. Previous literatures had been reviewed, and an approximate solution was investigated. We mathematically simulated the result for a certain parameter, and examine the accuracy of the solution.

Using piston type extruder, barley flour was extruded at various processing conditions, The used variables were three shear rates (apparent shear rate 118, 534, $1169sec^{-1}$), four extrusion temperatures(90, 120, 150, $180^{\circ}C$) and three moisture contents (15, 25, 35%). The rheological properties and the extrudate quality were monitored in extrusion. Barley flour showed pseudoplastic behavior having average power law index 0.28 in used shear rate range. When viewed from general appearance, die swell, density, water uptake, rehydration swell and gelatinization degree of extrudate, $25{\sim}35%$ moisture and $120^{\circ}C$ temperature was suitable processing condition for noodle-like product, and 25% moisture and $150^{\circ}C$ temperature was good for snack or flake product. Moisture content of the extrudate can be pretty well estimated from energy balance at higher temperature and higher moisture content.
