Congestion problems can be approached from the viewpoint of system dynamics theory. The relationship between road capacity and congestion can be explained by the 'relative control' archetype among four system archetypes suggested by Wolstenholme. There is a balancing feedback loop between road capacity and road congestion. However, there is another balancing loop between road congestion and car traffic volume, which keeps disrupting the equilibrium of the former loop. A system dynamics model, which is based on a partial adjustment model of induced traffic in the literature, is built to simulate three road building scenarios: 'Expanding investment', 'Balancing investment' and 'Frozen road investment' scenarios. The 'Expanding investment' scenario manages to drop congestion levels by 9% over 30 years, however, causing much higher emissions of $CO_2$ than other scenarios. The trade-off relationship between congestion levels and environmental costs must be taken into consideration for road investment policies.

Ship's delay caused by port congestion has drawn attention to the necessity for analysis on overall operation in port. But, in order to analyze the complicated port operation which contains large number of variable factors, queueing theory is needed to be adopted, which is applicable to a large scale transportation including ship's arrival in a large port. In this paper, a simulation model for Inchon Port was developed by the software SIMAN V and presented congestion rate under a certain scenario regarding the arrival ship's number and service levels. To develop the simulation model, types of ships and cargoes during the 1995 in Inchon Port was analyzed in advance. The results of the simulation can be summarized as follows : In order to maintain present levels of congestion rate and time with the increasing number of arrival vessels, service rate should be increased at an exponential rate. To improve the current congestion effectively, part of cargoes are needed to be transferred to a newly developing port. Results obtained from simulation can be used properly to prepare improved service levels and to plan appropriate investment strategies.

Economics of available alternatives in the transmission planning are evaluated by the investment cost, loss cost and congestion cost. Congestion/loss cost is calculated in many years and many load levels by unit commitment of generators, optimal dispatch, load flow, judgement about transmission congestion and re-dispatch to reduce the congestion. The greatest difficulties to introduce variable optimization techniques on the transmission planning is the convergence of load flow. In this paper, economics in the transmission planning are evaluated using DC load flow, and case study is conducted on the Korea power system by proposed congestion/loss calculation methods.

PURPOSES : This study analyzed the lane-by-lane traffic flow characteristics in Korea by using real-world data, including congestion levels, for 2-, 3-, and 4-lane freeways. METHODS : On the basis of a literature review, lane flow and speed characteristics were analyzed using flow measurements and speed ratios. In addition, the effect of congestion levels on traffic flow were visualized using rescaled cumulative plots. RESULTS : Driver behavior varied depending on the congestion level. During free-flow conditions, the lane-use ratio of individual lanes varied largely, whereas during congestion, the ratio was nearly the same for all lanes (i.e., equilibrium). During maximum-flow and congestion conditions, the median lane was used more than the shoulder lane, whereas during all other conditions, the shoulder lane had a higher lane-use ratio. In 3- or 4-lane freeways, the lane-use ratio of the median lane always exceeded 1 and was the highest during free-flow conditions. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the present analysis can be used as an index to predict congestion before a lane is overcapacitated. Moreover, the results can be applied in variable lane guidance systems, such as car navigation systems and variable message displays, to control traffic flow.

An investigation is given to a behavioral analysis of automobile users applying congestion toll theory for the purpose of maintaining the efficiency of transportation system. A case study is performed for the city of Seoul, where modal split behavior of automobile user groups is analysed in various level of congestion toll. Automobile users are grouped with respect to their income levels and work shift times. Automobile user behavior is then explained against the field data. A Logit-type model is applied for modal split changes through the application of congestion toll. It is found in the case study that the users in the monthly income bracket of 1.0~1.5 million won is the most predictable group whose work travel time begins 7:00~9:00 a.m. It is also found in the study that 1,000~1,500 won of congestion toll whould reduce the auto use as much as 5%.

$CO_2$ 배출량은 차량의 속도와 관련이 있으며. 속도는 도로의 종류에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 그러므로 단속류 간선 도로의 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량은 교차로 특성과 지정체의 영향을 받을 가능성이 많다. 따라서 교차로의 존재, 지정체의 영향과 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량의 분석이 필요하다. 연구 방법은 첫째, 국도를 대상으로 차량의 교차로 통과방법에 따른 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량차이를 비교하였다. 둘째, 전체 대상구간에서 자유속도와 지정체 속도에 따른 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량차이를 비교하였다. 셋째, 구간별 차량당 $CO_2$ 배출량차이를 비교하였다. 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출의 정량화를 위하여 속도에 따른 배출량 곡선을 사용하였다. 연구 결과는 첫째, 교차로에서 감가속 방법에 따라 최대 12%까지 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량의 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 대상 구간 전체에서 지정체로 인해 30%이상 차량 당 $CO_2$를 배출하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 구간별 비교 결과 교차로 특성 등에 따라 최대 차량 당 40%까지 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 교차로 통과방법, 통행속도, 교차로 특성을 개선하면 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량을 감소할 수 있다는 추론이 가능하다.

인터넷은 패킷의 지연시간과 손실에 대한 보장을 제공하지 않기 때문에 일시적인 네트워크 혼잡은 H.264/SVC 스트리밍에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 H.264/SVC 향상 계층을 제거하여 전송율을 제어함으로써 혼잡을 회피하는 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 비디오의 중요도에 따라 스트림을 분류한 후, 스트림의 비트율-왜곡 특성을 이용한 가중치 기반 혼잡 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 즉, 제한된 대역폭을 가진 네트워드 노드에서 가중치를 고려한 PSNR의 합을 최대화하기 위해, H.264/SVC 향상 계층의 수를 제어하는 WNS(Weighted Near-Sighted), WFS(Weighted Far-Sighted) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해 가중치 기반 알고리즘의 효용성을 보이고 알고리즘의 특성을 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 전송 율 기반 흐름과 혼잡 제어를 이용한 종단 간 네트워크 시스템을 통한 양방향 TCP 연결의 성능을 개선한다. TCP 패킷과 승인에 의해 버퍼를 공유하는 것은 ACK 압축이라는 결과를 초래하며, ACK 프레임 압축은 소스가 집단적으로 도착할 때 승인하며 불공정성과 처리 율 감소를 초래한다. 양방향 트래픽 때문에 발생한 처리 율 감소는 중요하다. 적절한 윈도의 크기를 가진 대칭적인 연결인 경우에서 연결의 효율은 2.0Mbps, 5.0Mbps, 7.5Mbps 세 가지 레벨의 백그라운드 트래픽에 대해서 약 20%정도의 성능이 개선된다. 반면에 지터의 처리율은 소스 노드와 목적 노드 사이에 왕복 지연 시간이 적기 때문에 약 50%정도 감소되는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 처리 율 곡선이 2.5Mbps, 5Mbps, 7,5Mbps 백그라운드 트래픽에 대한 TCP 혼잡 회피를 위해 제안된 전송 율 기반 알고리즘에 의해 개선되어짐을 알 수 있다.

Background and objective: Various images from visual display terminals (VDTs) as well as living lighting are important parts of our daily life; thus, properly controlling the lighting environment - that is, illuminance, color temperature and good images from VDTs - can have a substantial effect on improving the mental health and work efficiency in everyday life. We examined electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses to various lighting conditions in 25 university students as they viewed images of a green landscape or traffic congestion. Methods: EEG was performed in darkness and when the room was illuminated with 10 different light-emitting diode (LED) color temperatures, while the EEG and HRV responses to green landscape or traffic congestion image stimuli were measured in darkness and during room illumination with three different LED color temperatures. Results: We found a significant difference between darkness and high LED illumination (400 lx) at 7 (CZ, F4, FZ, O1, O2, OZ, and T6) of 30 channels, while the alpha wave activity increased during darkness. In the second experiment, the green landscape image stimuli in the 30 lx-2600 K lighting condition elicited theta wave activity on the EEG, whereas the traffic congestion image stimuli under high LED illumination elicited high beta and gamma wave activities. Moreover, the subjects exhibited better stress coping ability and heart rate stability in response to green landscape image stimuli under illuminated conditions, according to their HRV. Conclusion: These results suggest that lower color temperatures and illumination levels alleviate tension, and that viewing green landscape image stimuli at low illumination, or in darkness, is effective for reducing stress. Conversely, high illumination levels and color temperatures are likely to increase tension and stress in response to traffic congestion image stimuli.
