Urban atmospheric conditions are usually settled as warmer, drier and dirtier than those of rural counterpart owing to reduction of green space and water space area heat retention in surfaces such as concrete and asphalt, and abundant fuel consumption. The characteristics of urban climate has become generally known as urban heat island. The purpose of this study is to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of the heat emission from human activity, which is a main factor causing urban heat island. In this study, the anthropogenic heat fluxes emitted from vehicles and constructions are estimated by computational grid mesh which is divided by 1km $\times$ 1km. The anthropogenic heat flux by grid mesh can be applied to a numerical simulation model of the local circulation model. The constructions are classified into 9 energy-consumption types - hospital, hotel, office, department store, commercial store, school, factory, detached house and flat. The vehicles classified into 4 energy-consumption types - car, taxi, truck and bus. The seasonal mean of anthropogenic heat flux around central Daegu exceeded $50 W/m^2$ in winter. The annual mean anthropogenic heat flux exceeded $20 W/m^2$. The values are nearly equivalent to the anthropogenic heat flux in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan.

대형 화물자동차의 사고는 일반적인 사고와 달리 심각한 인명피해 등을 동반할 확률이 높다. 장거리 운행이 많은 화물자동차 운전특징으로 인해 운전자의 피로 및 피로로 인한 사고가 높다. 이러한 피로와 관련된 사고를 감소시키기 위해서 외국에서는 운전자의 피로에 영향을 주는 중요변수인 운전시간, 수면시간, 운행형태 등을 고려하여 운전자의 운행시간(Hour-of-Service:HOS)을 법으로 규정하고 있다. 운송업체 또한 운전자들의 사고를 감소시키기 위해 법정 운전자 근무시간 준수를 위해 노력하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 우리나라는 화물자동차 운전자의 피로와 관련 사고율을 줄일 수 있는 기초적인 법정 운전자 운행시간 조차 제시되지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 화물자동차 사고사망자수를 감소시킬 수 있는 운전자의 근로기준법 제정 필요성을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해서 현재 운영 중인 선진외국의 화물자동차 운전자 운전시간 및 운행규정을 살펴보고 실증적 자료를 통해 운전시간에 따른 사고 위험도의 차이를 살펴보았다. 실증적 자료는 미국의 화물자동차 3곳의 사고 자료 231명의 운행일지와 사고가 나지 않은 자료 462명의 운행일지를 수집, 총 693명 운전자의 운행일지를 수집하였다. 운전자의 연속된 운행에 대한 특징을 반영할 수 있도록 time-dependent 로지스틱 회귀모형을 사용하였다. 분석결ㄹ과 운행시간 1시간부터 3시간까지 운전한 운전자 사고위험도 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 운행시간이 10시간인 운전자는 운행시간 1시간인 운전자보다 사고위험도가 약 2.2배 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로 운행시간이 증가할수록 사고위험도 또한 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 본 연구는 우리나라의 지역적 특성과 운전자 특성에 맞는 운전자 운전시간 설정을 위한 연구방향 및 향후 연구과제에 대하여 연급하였다.

Storing, and the loading and unloading of materials at production sites in the manufacturing sector for mass production is a critical problem that affects various aspects: the layout of the factory, line-side space, logistics, workers' work paths and ease of work, automatic procurement of components, and transfer and supply. Traditionally, the nesting problem has been an issue to improve the efficiency of raw materials; further, research into mainly 2D optimization has progressed. Also, recently, research into the expanded usage of 3D models to implement packing optimization has been actively carried out. Nevertheless, packing algorithms using 3D models are not widely used in practice, due to the large decrease in efficiency, owing to the complexity and excessive computational time. In this paper, the problem of efficiently loading and unloading freeform 3D objects into a given container has been solved, by considering the 3D form, ease of loading and unloading, and packing density. For this reason, a Group Packing Approach for workers has been developed, by using analyzed truck packing work patterns and Group Technology, which is to enhance the efficiency of storage in the manufacturing sector. Also, an algorithm for 3D packing has been developed, and implemented in a commercial 3D CAD modeling system. The 3D packing method consists of a grouping algorithm, a sequencing algorithm, an orientating algorithm, and a loading algorithm. These algorithms concern the respective aspects: the packing order, orientation decisions of parts, collision checking among parts and processing, position decisions of parts, efficiency verification, and loading and unloading simulation. Storage optimization and examination of the ease of loading and unloading are possible, and various kinds of engineering analysis, such as work performance analysis, are facilitated through the intelligent 3D packing method developed in this paper, by using the results of the 3D model.

PURPOSES : In this research, an SB3-level roadside barrier for a highway transition zone that meets the newly established guide Installation and Management Guide for Roadside Safety Appurtenance is developed. Its performance is evaluated by a numerical simulation and real-scale vehicle impact test. METHODS : The commercial explicit dynamic software LS-DYNA is utilized for impact simulation. An FE model of a passenger vehicle developed and released by the National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) at George Washington University and a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) model developed by the TC226/CM-E Work Group are utilized for impact simulation. The original vehicle models were modified to reflect the conditions of test vehicles. The impact positions of the passenger vehicle and truck to the transition guardrail were set as 1/2 and 3/4 of the transition region, respectively, according to the guide. RESULTS : Based on the numerical simulation results of the existing transition barrier, a new structural system with improved performance was suggested. According to the result of a numerical simulation of the suggested structural system, two sets of transition barriers were manufactured and installed for real-scale vehicle impact tests. The tests were performed at a test field for roadside safety hardware of the Korea Highway Corporation Research Institute. CONCLUSIONS : The results of both the real-vehicle impact tests and numerical simulations of the developed transition barrier satisfied the performance criteria, and the results of numerical simulation showed good correlation with the test results.
