In this paper, we determined the driver's stress and fatigue level through physiological signals of a driver in the connected car environment, accordingly designing and implementing the architecture of the connected cars' platforms needed to provide services to make the driving environments comfortable and reduce the driver's fatigue level. It includes a gateway between AVN and ECU for the vehicle control, a framework for native applications and web applications based on AVN, and a sensing device and an emotion estimation engine for application services. This paper will provide the element technologies for the connected car-based convergence services and their implementation methods, and reference models for the service design.

Lower tunnels and concrete based tracks are introduced to newly constructed metro lines to reduce the construction and track maintenance fees. But such a lower tunnel together with concrete based track causes higher interior noise of metro trains. It is required that the trains should not only be a transportation media but also be comfortable. So, to lower the metro train's interior noise level, design was made to increase the transmission loss per sectional part. Through such a design, it is expected that about 7 dB(A) of noise level will be reduced compared to that of the conventional train.

As the improvements of service quality is becoming an important issue the, interior noise level of a train is an important factor of comfortable ride. To reduce the interior noise level, noise sources of the train need to be removed. However, in case with a structure of large scale and multiple noise sources, an estimation of influences of major noise sources, with indentification of its traveling paths needs to be performed. In current state, to improve the interior noise reduction, consideration of sound transmission loss of the train body prior to manufacturing is usually performed. In this study, the sound transmission loss of the train body of new model train of seoul metro's line no.2 under test opeation is measured and modeling of the train body is performed. And train interior noise is predicted using the measured values.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the middle aged's perception of successful aging on their preparations for the old age. We used data from 350 participants, aged 35-64 in Seoul-Gyonggi region. The hierachial regression analysis estimated the relation between the middle aged's perception on successful aging and their preparations for the old age. The findings indicate that the middle aged's level of preparations for the old age was slightly higher than average. The level of their emotional preparation appeared highest and the level of economical preparation showed lowest. The perception of successful aging indicated relatively high, and especially the level of comfortable everyday life showed highest. The results also showed that personal characteristics influencing on preparations for the old age were sex, age, marriage status, religion, occupation, monthly income, health condition, level of plan for the old age, and social activities frequency, and demonstrated that the perception of successful aging effected on preparations for the old age positively.

Today, the use of a vacuum cleaner gave us the higher quality of life than past time, but sometimes made us w1comfortable in the house because of the specific noise that is annoying. So we need to study how sound absorbtion materials affect sound power level and sound quality with sound metrics. In this paper, we will measure and calculate sound power level for vacuum cleaner and analyze characteristics of the noise for 10 Signals according to materials positioned in vacuum cleaner. The multiple regression analysis can estimate the nonlinear characteristics of relation between subjective evaluation and sound metrics. So we will develop sound quality index for vacuum sound.

The purpose of this study is to approving the usefulness on Customer Satisfaction of Human Bridge. To achieve this purpose, we conduct a survey of 385 Customer to have a new operation analysis that so-called Human Bridge. The results of this study as follow. First of all, It's appeared that dependence on mass communication has a high level Because that Some 66% of the people surveyed say that they have Human Bridge operation by mass communication. Secondly, In case of satisfaction level connected with operation, some 66% of the respondents say that it is inconvenient or not at all in the Human Bridge operation and some 81% of the respondents say that it is very healthy or the same in the gum condition. On the other hand, Some 64% of the people surveyed say that it is inconvenient or extra comfortable in the masticate their's food well. Thirdly, In case of the level of teeth shaking, Some 90% of the people surveyed say that it is no change or small to contrast beginning, and in aesthetic satisfaction after operation, a surprising 93% of the people surveyed say that it is satisfaction.

Elevator noise in apartment houses is one of the factors which prevent the residents from quiet and comfortable life. The elevator noise measurement method [KS F ISO 16032] is introduced from the matching ISO standard, however, it has problems in the application to the actual measurement. To visualize the problems, measurements in an apartment house are conducted, which has been suffering from the elevator noise for a long time. The measurement itself is extremely difficult due to the low sound pressure level of elevator, which is lower than 35 dB (A), and the even higher background noise level. However the vibration levels measured at the same time are relatively less disturbing As a result of vibration measurement, it was found that the vibration is clearly measured on the wall, and presents a high correlation coefficient of over 0.8 with the noise levels measured This shows that the vibration level measured on the elevator walls may be rather reliable numbers than the elevator noise levels in the actual noisy condition of elevator halls and the vicinity.

The purposes of this study were to determine the actual state of the indoor environment, and to analyze the relationship between the architectural or living factors and indoor physical elements in the elderly hall at apartment complexes during winter. The field surveys consisted of measurements of the physical elements, observations of living factors, and interviews with users. The field surveys were carried out at 5 halls in February 2009. The measured elements were air temperature, relative humidity, $CO_2$, CO, PM10, TVOC, HCHO, and illumination. The results showed that the averages of indoor temperature for the hall was between $22.7{\sim}25.1^{\circ}C$, relative humidity was 22.0~48.2%, $CO_2$ level was 892.4~2066.7ppm, CO level were 0~0.4ppm, PM10 level were $22.3{\sim}31.4{\mu}g/m^3$, HCHO level was 0.00~0.24ppm, and illumination level was 94~391.6lux. TVOC level was detected at 0.00~0.54ppm in only one hall. The average clothing amount of the users was 1.18clo and activity was 0.7~1.6met. It was evaluated to be a comfortable state at indoor temperature, CO level, PM10 level, and TVOC level, but an uncomfortable state at relative humidity, $CO_2$ level, HCHO level, and illumination level. The main reason seemed to be lack of ventilation.

In order to see the effects of talker sidetone on a talker's speech level quantitatively when he converses with others on a telephone, we reviewed the measuring algorithm of speech level and assessed variation of speech level due to that of sidetone masking rating(STMR). We measured room noise effects on speech level, when STMR values were changed, as well. If we consider the effects of talker sidetone and room noise on speech level, the results of experiments suggest that a talker continuously tries to keep the psychological loudness of his own speech, heard by himeself via a telephone handset, at the constant and comfortable level by controlling his speaking level according as STMR value and room noise are change. That is, because the amount of his speech masked by his talker sidetone and room noise is different when STMR value and room noise are changed, we can see the tendency that he controls his speaking level in order to keep the perceived psychological loudness of his own speech to be constant.
