This study deals with the operation effectiveness of roundabout. The objective of this study was to analyze the operational effectiveness of roundabout based on the operation of pedestrian signal. For pursuing the above, VISSIM was as a traffic simulation program. this study gives particular attention to analyzing the 1,680 scenarios by operation of Pedestrian Signal(7 cases), roundabout type(2 cases), pedestrian volume(8 cases) and entering volume(15 cases). The main results analyzed are as follows. First, the operational effectiveness analyzed by 2 type of 4-legged 1-lane roundabout and 6 type of 4-legged 2-lane were evaluated to be better than that by the others type. Second, the average delay time analyzed by operation of pedestrian signal were evaluated to be less than that by unsignalized pedestrian crossing. Finally, the average delay time analyzed by pedestrian crossing were decreased 8.18% than that by staggered pedestrian crossing in 4-legged 1-lane. However, the average delay time analyzed by staggered pedestrian crossing were evaluated to be decreased 36.53% than that by pedestrian crossing in 4-legged 2-lane.

It has been known that nonlinear characteristics of sorption affect the transport behavior of water soluble pollutants in soils. However detailed experimental studies have not been performed to verify the effect of non-linearity of adsorption isotherm on transport of chemicals in porous media. In this research, the distortion of breakthrough curves of a cationic surfactant (cetylpyridinium chloride, CPC) in a engineered stainless steel column packed with glass beads were investigated. Glass beads with about 110 $\mu\textrm{m}$diameter coated with a thin n-decane film were used as the media providing the sorption surface for CPC. The CPC adsorption isotherm on the surface of n-decane from aqueous solution was a typical Langmuir type. The breakthrough curve of CPC using step Input showed a late breakthrough on the front side and early breakthrough on the back side accordance to the shape of the isotherm. The retardation factor of CPC was found to be a strong function of the input concentration, which also a manifestation of the non-linearity of the isotherm. The retardation factors for the CPC with step input agreed with those of pulse input that the maximum concentrations are controlled to be the same as the step input concentrations. This results support the validity of the unproven field practices of using hydrogeotracers with non-linear adsorption isotherms to determine the hydrogeological parameters, e.g., NAPL saturation, air-water or NAPL-water interfacial areas.

To describe the behavior of suspended-sediment particles in turbulent open-channel flows, the advection-diffusion equation or its simplified form has been used. Though this equation was derived upon several assumptions, only a few studies tried to evaluate the limit of the assumptions. The reason is that it is very difficult to measure turbulence in open-channel flows and to discriminate the velocities of water and sediment particles. The present study aims to measure the velocity profiles of water and sediment particles in open-channel flows by using PTV (Particle Tracking Velocimetry), a kind of PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry). The measured results showed that sediment particles moved slower than water tracers did in the outer region. In the present study, the amount of velocity-lag reached about $5\%$ of the mom flow velocity and the position of the maximum velocity-lag was $g/h\approx0.05\;(g^{+}=30\~50)$ The main cause of the velocity-lag of sediment particles seems that the sediment particles have larger density than water has. On the other hand, in the viscous sublayer, sediment particle has a larger velocity than water tracers. The reason of the inversion of velocity-lag may be due to the no-sleep condition of water at the solid boundaries.

댐, 저수지 등 수자원 시스템분석 시 가장 기초가 되는 유입량 자료는 실측 수위(저수량)와 방류량을 역산하여 산정된다. 이 중 댐 수위는 수표면 진동으로 인해 변동이 크며, 특히, 급격한 수위 변화가 발생하는 홍수기에는 수위-저수량 변환 시 큰 오차가 발생하여 유입량 진동이 더욱 커지게 된다. 하지만 홍수기 저수지 운영 효과 분석 등 관련 연구를 위해서는 시간 간격이 짧은 10분 또는 1시간 단위의 유입량 자료가 필요함에 따라 관련 연구 수행 시 이동평균법(Moving Average) 등을 통해 실측 유입량 자료를 보정하여 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 데이터 평활화를 위해 이동평균법을 적용하면 데이터의 변동을 효과적으로 줄일 수는 있지만 실측자료와 비교하였을 때 첨두 유입량이 큰 폭으로 감소하거나, 첨두 유입량 발생시간이 지체되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 유입량과 같이 변동이 큰 수문자료의 평활화를 위해 가우시안 가중 이동평균법(Gaussian-weighted moving average technique), 사비츠키-골레이 필터링기법(Savitzky-Golay filtering technique) 등 필터링 기법을 댐 유입량 보정에 적용하고, 이에 따른 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2020년 8월에 발생한 홍수사상을 대상으로 충주댐, 합천댐 등 다목적댐 유입량 자료를 수집하고, 보정을 수행하였다. 필터링 기법의 적용 효과 분석을 위해서는 실측자료와 이동평균법을 적용하여 보정한 결과와 비교하였고, 추가적으로 비교적 변동이 작은 일 단위 유입량 자료와의 양적 비교를 진행하였다. 그 결과 이동평균법을 적용하였을 때보다 필터링 기법을 적용하였을 때 실측자료와의 양적 차이가 작고, 첨두 유입량 및 첨두 유입 발생시간에서도 차이를 큰 폭으로 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

In order to improve the safety and efficiency of traffic signal operation, several core projects of advanced transportation operating systems were implemented in Changwon City. This project included 10 units such as the expansion of roundabout, the permitted left-turn signal operation and the effectiveness of the projects was assessed using before and after studies. This paper presented the quantitative and qualitative evaluation results for three projects: roundabout, permitted left-turn signal operation, and left-turn actuated signal operation. From the analysis results, average travel speed was improved by 16.8% from the installation of roundabouts and average travel time and control delay were reduced by 12.4% and 41.6% respectively, from permitted left-turn operation. It was found that average control delay was reduced about 26.7% from left-turn actuated signal operation. In addition, more than 57.7% of the surveyed people was satisfied with the operational performance of the roundabout implemented. It is expected that the operational performance of traffic signal can be greatly improved by incorporating the proper projects of advanced transportation operating systems in other cities.

We have presented a nonparametric stochastic approach for the SOI(Southern Oscillation Index) series that used nonlinear methodology called Nonlinear AutoRegressive(NAR) based on conditional kernel density function and CAFPE(Corrected Asymptotic Final Prediction Error) lag selection. The fitted linear AR model represents heteroscedasticity, and besides, a BDS(Brock - Dechert - Sheinkman) statistics is rejected. Hence, we applied NAR model to the SOI series. We can identify the lags 1, 2 and 4 are appropriate one, and estimated conditional mean function. There is no autocorrelation of residuals in the Portmanteau Test. However, the null hypothesis of normality and no heteroscedasticity is rejected in the Jarque-Bera Test and ARCH-LM Test, respectively. Moreover, the lag selection for conditional standard deviation function with CAFPE provides lags 3, 8 and 9. As the results of conditional standard deviation analysis, all I.I.D assumptions of the residuals are accepted. Particularly, the BDS statistics is accepted at the 95% and 99% significance level. Finally, we split the SOI set into a sample for estimating themodel and a sample for out-of-sample prediction, that is, we conduct the one-step ahead forecasts for the last 97 values (15%). The NAR model shows a MSEP of 0.5464 that is 7% lower than those of the linear model. Hence, the relevance of the NAR model may be proved in these results, and the nonparametric NAR model is encouraging rather than a linear one to reflect the nonlinearity of SOI series.

Most research for until at now link travel time were research for mean link travel time calculate or estimate which uses the average of the individual vehicle. however, the link travel time distribution is divided caused by with the impact factor which is various traffic condition, signal operation condition and the road conditional etc. preceding study result for link travel time distribution characteristic showed that the patterns of going through traffic were divided up to 2 in the link travel times. therefore, it will be more accurate to divide up the link travel time into the one involving delay and the other without delay, rather than using the average link travel time in terms of assessing the traffic situation. this study is it analyzed transit hour distribution characteristic and a cause using examine to the variables which give an effect at link travel time distribute using simulation program and determinate link travel time distribute ratio estimation model. to assess the distribution of the link travel times, this research develops the regression model and the fuzzy model. the variables that have high level of correlations in both estimation models are the rest time of green ball and the delay vehicles. these variables were used to construct the methods in the estimation models. The comparison of the two estimation models-fuzzy and regression model- showed that fuzzy model out-competed the regression model in terms of reliability and applicability.

Ramp metering has been used to solve recurrent or non-recurrent congestion on many highways. However, the existing ramp metering methods cannot control non-recurrent congestion like incident and don't have any methods to solve congestion after congestion. In addition, the methods cannot solve congestion quickly because ramp metering operates independently for each ramp. In this study, we developed SARAM which is ramp metering technique with shockwave theory in order to solve the problems. In simulation from Jangsoo IC to Joongdong IC, we confirmed that speed increased by 7.32km/h and delay time reduced by 39.14sec.

홍수 예 경보 및 강우-유출의 관계에 의한 홍수량 산정은 수자원 계획과 관리에 있어 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 이러한 강우-유출의 관계를 표현할 수 있는 모형은 최근 분포형 모형으로 발전하게 되었지만, 유역수문 모형의 비약적인 발전과는 다르게 강우자료는 점 강우량을 유역내 평균강우량으로 산정하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나, 실제 유역에서 강우의 분포는 다양한 이동속도와 방향을 가지고 있기에 유역 내 평균강우량이 발생한다고 가정하기에는 어려운 상황이 많다. 본 연구에서는 격자로 분할된 섬진강 유역에 임의로 생성한 중앙집중형 강우와 2009년 7월 12일부터 2009년 7월 15일까지의 레이더 강우 자료를 실제 이동방향과 수직된 나머지 세 방향으로 각각 공간분포 시켰으며, 강우의 이동과 공간분포를 함께 고려할 수 있는 준분포형인 Modified Clark 방법으로 유출량을 모의하였다. 실측된 유출량 및 강우이동에 대하여 모형을 검 보정한 후 직각된 4방향성으로 강우를 이동시켜 유역출구의 홍수량 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 강우이동형태에 따라 첨두유량이 변화함을 알 수 있었으며, 가상의 이동강우 및 레이더 강우가 하류에서 상류로의 이동보다 상류에서 하류로 이동하는 특성이 유역출구에서의 첨두유량이 크고 지체시간을 지속시킴을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 강우이동 특성을 고려할 수 있는 레이더 강우를 이용함으로써 홍수 유출특성의 변화 정도에 대한 신뢰도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This paper documents the development of a bi-objective(minimizing delays and Queue lengths) cycle-free signal timing length model using Genetic Algorithm. The model was embodied using MATLAB. the language of technical computing. A special feature of this model is its ability to concurrently manage delays and queue lengths of turning movement concurrently. The model produces a cycle-free signal timing(cycles and green times) for each intersection on the cycle basis. Appropriate offsets could be also accomplished by applying cycle-free based signal timings for respective intersections. The model was applied to an example network which consists of four intersections. The result shows that the model produces superior signal timings to the existing signal timing model in terms of managing delays and queue lengths of turning movements.
