본 연구에서는 구조방정식 모형을 활용하여 시외버스 서비스 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 분석자료는 충남 시외버스 이용자를 대상으로 대인면접 설문조사를 통해 수집하였다. 분석결과, 환경요인이 운행요인보다 서비스 만족에 더 중요한 요인인 것으로 나타났다. 남성의 경우, 정류장청결과 교통카드충전의 편리성이 버스청결보다 중요한 요인이며, 여성의 경우, 정류장청결, 카드충전편리, 이용요금적정성 보다 버스청결이 더 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 또한, 환경요인의 만족도가 높아질수록 이용자는 이용했던 버스를 타인에 권유하는 의향이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 시외버스 서비스 만족도를 높이고 시외버스 이용을 활성화하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 버스의 청결도를 높여 쾌적한 환경을 제공하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과는 시외버스 이용 활성화를 위한 정책개발의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A number of passive aerodynamic drag reduction methods were applied separately and then in different combinations on an intercity bus model, through wind tunnel studies on a 1:20 scale model of a Mercedes Benz Tourismo 15 RHD intercity bus. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling was also conducted in parallel to assist with flow visualisation. The commercial CFD package $CFX^{TM}$ was used. It has been found that dramatic reductions in coefficient of drag ($C_D$) of up to 70% can be achieved on the model using tapered and rounded top and side leading edges, and a truncated rear boat-tail. The curved front section allows the airflow to adhere to the bus surfaces for the full length of the vehicle, while the boat-tails reduce the size of the low pressure region at the base of the bus and more importantly, additional pressure recovery occurs and the base pressures rise, reducing drag. It is found that the CFD results show remarkable agreement with experimental results, both in the magnitude of the force coefficients as well as in their trends. An analysis shows that such a reduction in aerodynamic drag could lead to a significant 28% reduction in fuel consumption for a typical bus on intercity or interstate operation. This could translate to a massive dollar savings as well as significant emissions reductions across a fleet. On road tests are recommended.

PURPOSES : This study intends to estimate the tangible benefits derived from the integration of operations of an Express Intercity Bus Terminal and a Highway Service Area. METHODS: For the study, a highway service area was chosen to function as a bus terminal, integrating its services with that of a nearby bus terminal plagued by operating losses. The exercise also helped improve mobility owing to the introduction of local buses between the terminals and utilization of the existing infrastructure such as rest areas. Thus, a terminal that was not being utilized for its intended functionality was integrated with an existing facility to improve the utilization of both and subsequently aid local development. The impact of the exercise was then measured by evaluating the variation in utilization efficiency, operating costs, travel time between two regions (Seoul-Jeomchon and Seoul-Geumsan), and the social costs before and after the integration of the two facilities. RESULTS :The impact of the integration was an increase in utilization efficiency, a decrease in operating cost, a decrease in travel time, and a decrease in social cost in both the regions. The benefits of improved utilization and cost saving can be passed on to the citizens in the form of discounts. A local power generation facility will eventually replace the bus terminal, which can revitalize the local economy. CONCLUSIONS :The integration of the highway service area with the bus terminal is expected to have a win-win effect on the passengers as well as the operators. The study also proposes a sustainable strategic plan for existing terminals and rest areas to implement a method to compete with KTX transportation.

The express/intercity bus models have been developing for wheelchair users to provide the preferable long-distance travels by the Korean government research. In the previous studies, evaluation method was set up for the wheelchair users' safety and the study for wheelchair occupants' safety was performed under various crash loadings mimic to real accidents, frontal crash, side impact and rollover, etc. This study was focused on the evaluation of occupant behaviors and injuries (head and chest) during vehicle impact loading cases in order to ensure the safety of wheelchair passengers in the bus. The occupant response and belt loading data during the sled FE simulation were compared with those of the sled test. The simulation results showed overall safety tolerances of wheelchair occupants under the severe frontal deceleration, side impact loading based on the FMVSS 214 configuration and bus rollover loading.

대형 디젤엔진은 주행거리가 길고 배기량이 크기 때문에 차량의 대수는 상대적으로 적지만 대기환경에 미치는 영향은 크다. 시내를 주행하는 시내버스의 경우 한일 월드컵을 계기로 CNG 버스로 전환되었다. 그러나 대형트럭과 장거리 시외버스의 경우 주행거리가 길고 CNG 충전소가 대도시의 시내버스 차고지 위주로 설치되어 있어 이용이 불가능하였다. 단열용기의 적용으로 천연가스를 압축상태가 아닌 액체 상태로 보관이 가능해져 주행거리가 긴 대형트럭이나 장거리 시외버스로의 적용이 가능해졌으며, 혼소엔진의 경우 LNG 충전이 어려운 지역에서는 디젤로 운행이 가능하다. 이와 같은 장점으로 인하여 석유 의존도를 크게 낮출 수 있어 에너지원의 다변화가 가능하며, 디젤차의 고질적인 단점으로 여겨왔던 매연 및 질소산화물뿐만 아니라 저탄소 연료를 사용함으로서 대표적인 온실가스중의 하나인 이산화탄소도 10%이상 저감할 수 있었다.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of airborne fungi in public transportation from autumnl 2016 to summer 2017. Methods: This study measured the concentrations of airborne fungi on six subway lines and intercity buses in Seoul. Results: The concentration of fungi in the air in public transportation was found to be lower than the standard (500 CFU/㎥) for vulnerable group facilities among public use facities. In summer, the concentration of airborne fungi was relatively higher than in autumn. The concentrations of airborne fungi in subway (252.0 CFU/㎥) and train (45.1 CFU/㎥) were high tendency during non-rush hours in summer, while intercity bus was hightendency during rush hours in summer (111.9 CFU/㎥). The major types of airborne fungi in public transportation were Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus. Conclusions: The harmful airborne fungus were detected though they did not exceed the standard in all public transportation. As a result, further studies on the analysis of the distribution of airborne fungi by ventilation and the characterization of indoor environments are needed to propose effective management of airborne fungi in public transportation.

Road transport allows all forms of land conditions to be met at less cost. Because of this function, despite numerous disadvantages, it becomes the most frequently used method of transport, especially in underdeveloped or developing countries. One of the most significant factors used in evaluating the atmosphere's air quality is the amount of CO₂, increasing people's density in indoor spaces. The amount of CO₂ indoors is, therefore, vital to determine. In this study, CO₂ and temperature measurements made on nine different bus journey was made in Turkey. The minimum and maximum values were recorded as 555 ppm and 3000 ppm CO₂, respectively, in the measurements. On all journeys, the average concentration is 1088.72 ppm. The minimum and maximum values were measured as 17.4℃ and 32.7℃ in the temperature measurements, and the average of all trips was calculated to be 25.76℃. In this study conducted before the Covid-19 pandemic, it was determined that the amount of CO₂ increased with the density and insufficient ventilation in the buses. The risk of infection increases in places with high human density and low clean air. For situations such as pandemics, CO₂ measurement is a rapid indicator of determining human density.

버스카드를 활용한 통합 요금제 시행 이 후 대중교통 통행량 및 환승 통행량은 증가하였다. 이에 따라 버스운영에 있어서 환승객을 고려하는 것은 보다 중요해졌다. 기존 연구들에서는 환승객을 고려할 때 결정적 수리모델을 제안하여 승객과 버스의 확률적인 움직임을 반영하지 못하는 한계가 있었으나 본 연구에서는 미시 시뮬레이션 모델을 바탕으로 하여 보다 실제적인 버스 정류장 모델을 제안하였다. 제안한 시뮬레이션 모델을 기반으로 버스 도착 간격과 승객 대기 시간의 관계를 회귀 모델로 표현하였으며 환승객을 고려할 때와 고려하지 않을 때의 차이를 실증적으로 검증하였다. 또한 승객 대기 시간을 비용으로 변환하는 방법을 제안하고 이를 바탕으로 하여 최적 버스 도착 간격을 제안하였다. 연구에서 제안한 방법을 활용하면 버스 운영에 있어서 보다 현실을 반영한 상향식 의사결정을 가능하게 해줄 것으로 기대된다.
