The mileage program has been one of the most popular royalty and promotion programs in marketing. With the remarkable growth and rapid pervasiveness of information technologies including the Internet, new and a variety of many other applications of mileage system than traditional ones have been observed. The objective of this research is to investigate the rising role of mileage point as a new private electronic money. In an attempt to identify the new role, we employ two factors: monetary confidence and monetary efficiency. This paper analyzes the status quo in the monetary uses of the mileage system by answering to those questions that "is it money?," and "what are the cases for real experiences in 'money-like' mileage and their implications?" with OK Cashbag case. Results show that OK Cashbag point is taking a different development route of money and performs limited monetary functions as private electronic money.

Mileage system in some online media, I have a lot of use. In addition, there are a lot of companies that are making money by using the mileage system. A mileage system is the first airline in such a way that the service in the late 1980s, many states now listed sungineung and features. In addition, there are many industries that reported good results using a mileage system used by carriers in other industries. However, mileage of the current game industry has not been introduced, it is not the service by using the concept of point returning to the user is purely a function of mileage. So a lot of developed payment systems in the mobile industry since 2010, proposed a better and more current online payment systems industry has an easy hybrid revenue model for mobile games service convergence mileage using this system.

The tier 3 methodology used in estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from road sectors is based on mileage data. However, such data can neither accurately represent the mileage of regional unit nor have sufficient integrated data reflecting the characteristics by region, vehicle type, fuel type and road type. Such estimation of greenhouse gas emissions is not reliable. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is, firstly to accumulate activity data based on distance traveled which enables us to accurately estimate the amount of green gas emitted by regional unit(emission point), and secondly, to develop a methodology for estimation of greenhouse gas emissions using these data. To do this, the study utilizes the mileage data of Korea Transportation Safety Authority(TS), statistics of registered motor vehicles, statistical yearbook of traffic volume from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport(MLIT), the Korea Transport Database of the Korea Transport Institute(KOTI), and average road speed by local government. Methodology for estimation by local government level(emission point) is meaningful, because it reflects traffic pattern data including flow in and out and internal traffics. Finally, to verify the methodology presented in this study, it is applied to Seoul. Both greenhouse gas estimates, one by multiplying the average mileage and the number of registered vehicles and the other by multiplying traffic volume and road extension, are less than the amount estimated by the methodology presented in this study.

In this study, the oil degradation measuring for integrated sensor of drain valve was fabricated. A sensor used in the experiments was integrated with drain valves and installed in oil pan without requiring additional space. As a result of the experiments, the capacitances changed with two inflection points in accordance with an after in mileage. The first inflection point indicated the exhaustion of oil additives, and after the second inflection point, the oil degradation was completed, which increased the viscosity and disabled the functions of oil. Thus, this section was determined as the time of oil exchange.

The engine oil is an oil used for lubrication of various internal combustion engines. Recently, the vehicle and engine oil manufacture usually guarantee for oil change over 15000~20000 km mileage, but the most of driver usually change engine oil every 5000 km driving in Korea. In this case, it is possible to cause environmental contamination by used engine oil and increase the cost of driving by frequently oil change. In this study, we investigate the various physical properties such as flash point, pour point, kinematic viscosity, cold cranking simulator, total acid number, and four-ball test for fresh engine oil and used engine oil after vehicle driving (5000 km, 10000 km). The test result showed that the total acid number and wear scar by four-ball test of used engine oil had increased than fresh engine oil, but 2 kind of used oil (5000 km and 10000 km) had similar physical properties.

One of the most important problems encountered by parcel transportation firms or LTL (Less-than-truckload) firms is the planning of daily linehaul operations. The transportation firm's goal is to determine the most efficient way to move all freight from its originating terminal to its destination terminal after each shipment is picked up from the shipping dock. The purpose of this study is to design a transportation system and develop an efficient scheduling algorithm for linehaul operations carrying small amount of shipment. This paper presents three approaches for efficient linehaul operations. The first approach examines drivers using the roundtrips which start from a terminal, visit several terminals, and return to the starting terminal. The second approach uses a freight assembly center where drivers take freight for a number of destination terminals which they then swap for freight for their starting terminal. The third approach is similar to the second approach in that it uses a transshipment point like a freight assembly terminal for shipment, but it has several transshipment points since each shipment may have a different transshipment point. In this study, we developed a mathematical formulation and algorithm for each approach. The experimental results using data of a LTL firm show that the third approach is more efficient than the other two. Mileage and overnight stays of the third approach are reduced by 10% and 30%, respectively.

The characteristics of smoke emissions from diesel heavy duty vehicles which weigh over 5.5 tons was investigated by driving the vehicles with both the Lugdown 3 modes in the chassis dynamometer and tree accelerating mode under no load. The vehicles include commercial vehicles such as bus, microbus, trucks and specialized vehicles, etc. The total numbers of the vehicles tested were 200. The light extinction method was used to measure the smoke emissions from the vehicles tail pipe. The values of the smoke emissions in the tree accelerating mode showed $0{\sim}20%$ band nearly independent of both the mileage and year of production of the tested vehicles, while those in the Lugdown 3 modes showed $0{\sim}99%$ of wide band. The correlation coefficients between the values of the smoke emissions with both the Lugdown 3 modes and the free acceleration mode were 0.12, 0.08, 0.12, respectively. The inspection with Lugdown 3 modes is better one than that with tree acceleration from the point of exact inspection of the diesel vehicles' smoke emission.

Since American Airlines's mileage program emerged in market, loyalty programs have gained popularity. Many companies have generated many kinds of reward cards in order to induce precious consumers. As a result, reward cards are very important in consumer goods market and become diversified. In spite of its importance, little is known about how these cards influence consumer's perception. The prior research has not focused on reward card types and psychological variables. Accordingly this research intends to investigate psychological variables such as transaction coupling and sunk cost perception. According to the theory of regulatory focus, promotion focus consumers would point to gain-nongain frame work, but prevention focus consumers would point to loss-nonloss frame work. The paper proved the effect of reward card types and regulatory focus on transaction coupling and sunk cost perception. Based on the results from 2(type of card : visible vs invisible) ${\times}$ 2(regulatory focus: promotion vs prevention) between-subjects factorial design experiments, we found that consumer's transaction coupling and sunk cost perception of visible reward card are better recognized than invisible reward card. In addition, the results show that there is a significant interaction effect between the type of reward card and regulatory focus. Specifically promotion focused consumers tend to reveal better perception than prevention focused consumers in use of invisible cards. However, prevention focused consumers tend to show better perception than promotion focused consumers in use of visible cards. These findings will contribute to significant academic development and practically useful help to marketing managers.
