This paper examines the unique transportation challenges posed by Nepal's diverse and rugged terrain, which significantly hampers socio-economic development due to its negative impact on infrastructure, trade, and accessibility. Despite ongoing efforts to enhance road and traditional air transport systems, Nepal's geographic and environmental conditions continue to obstruct efficient connectivity, particularly in rural and remote areas. This study proposes Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) as a transformative solution, leveraging recent technological advancements in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of Nepal's current transportation infrastructure and the feasibility of AAM implementation, the paper highlights the potential benefits of AAM, including improved accessibility, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it addresses the anticipated challenges and regulatory considerations necessary for integrating AAM into Nepal's transportation network. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this research aims to contribute to the discourse on overcoming transportation barriers in mountainous regions, offering policy recommendations and identifying areas for future study to facilitate the adoption of AAM in Nepal and similar contexts worldwide.

Site-specific minimum temperature forecasts are critical in a short-term decision making procedure for preventive measures as well as a long-term strategy such as site selection in fruits industry. Nocturnal cold air pools frequently termed in mountainous areas under anticyclonic systems are very dangerous to the flowering buds in spring over Korea, but the spatial resolution to detect them exceeds the current weather forecast scale. To supplement the insufficient spatial resolution of official forecasts, we developed a GIS - assisted frost risk assesment scheme for using in mountainous areas. Daily minimum temperature data were obtained from 6 sites located in a 2.1 by 2.1 km area with complex topography near the southern edge of Sobaek mountains during radiative cooling nights in spring 2001. A digital elevation model with a 10 m spatial resolution was prepared for the entire study area and the cold air inflow was simulated for each grid cell by counting the number of surrounding cells coming into the processing cell. Primitive temperature surfaces were prepared for the corresponding dates by interpolating the Korea Meteorological Administration's automated observational data with the lapse rate correction. The cell temperature values corresponding to the 6 observation sites were extracted from the primitive temperature surface, and subtracted from the observed values to obtain the estimation error. The errors were regressed to the flow accumulation at the corresponding cells, delineating a statistically significant relationship. When we applied this relationship to the primitive temperature surfaces of frost nights during April 2002, there was a good agreement with the observations, showing a feasibility of site-specific frost warning system development in mountainous areas.

Drone images are being used more and more actively in the fields of surveying and spatial information, and are rapidly replacing existing aerial and satellite images. The technology of quickly acquiring real-time data at low cost and processing it is now being applied to actual industries beyond research. However, there are also problems encountered as this progresses. When high-resolution spatial information is acquired using a general 2D flight plan for a terrain with sever undulations, problems arise due to the difference in resolution of the data. In particular, when a low-altitude high-resolution image is taken using a drone in a mountainous or steep terrain, there may be a problem in image matching due to a resolution difference caused by terrain undulations. This problem occurs because a drone acquires data while flying on a 2D plane at a fixed altitude, just like conventional aerial photography. In order to acquire high-quality 3D data using a drone, the scale difference for the shooting distance should be considered. In addition, in order to obtain facade images of large structures, it is necessary to take images in 3D space. In this study, in order to improve the disadvantages of the 2D flight method, a 3D flight plan was established for the study area, and it was confirmed that high-quality 3D spatial information could be obtained in this way.

최근 항공사진측양 기술의 발달로 토공양 산정에 있어 수치지형모델의 이용이 증대되고 있으며, 토공양 산정은 토목공사의 계획 및 설계시 큰 비중을 차지하고 있어 정확도를 높이는 것은 매우 중요한 요소중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 DTM이 자료의 표고 정확도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이를 기초로하여 지형별 data의 밀도에 따라 실제 설계시 토공양의 정확도를 예측할 수 있는 단면형상계수의 예측 model 식을 개발함으로써 토공양 및 공사비산정에 크게 기여할 것이다. 여기서 토공양의 정확도는 data 간격보다 횡단면 간격에 의한 영향이 더 크며, 표고의 표준오차가 미치는 영향은 횡단면 간격이 클수록 감소되었다. 연구결과 제시된 단면형상계수의 예측 model 식을 일반적인 경우에 적용하여 예측한 토공양의 증차와 일반적 계산에 의한 토공양의 오차와의 차는 평탄지에서 0.8374~3.1437$cm^3$/m, 산악지에서 1.5628~6.9675$cm^3$/m로서 매우 미소하므로 본 연구에서 제시된 예측 model을 적용함으로써 정확한 토공양의 오차를 예측할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

최근 실세계를 재현하기 위한 3차원 기술개발의 필요성과 요구가 증가하게 되어 이러한 요구를 충족하기 위해 실세계 재현에 대한 연구가 국내외적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존에 구축된 공간분석을 위한 데이터는 2차원을 목적으로 제작되었으며 이는 3차원의 현실세계를 반영하는데 한계성이 있다. 또한 데이터 활용성이 제한적이며 데이터 재생산은 비용과 시간의 측면에서 비효율적이므로 기존의 데이터를 활용하여 효과적으로 3차원의 현실세계를 재현할 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증대되었다. DEM(Digital Elevation Model: 수치표고모델)은 활용 분야별로 다양한 요구조건을 만족하는 개별적인 방법으로 제작되어 활용되며 기존의 DEM 제작은 일률적인 보간법과 해상도로 제작되므로 데이터의 효율성이 떨어진다. 이는 실세계를 반영하기 위한 정확성에서의 한계성을 가지므로 다양한 데이터를 포함하면 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지형분석을 통해 산악지, 구릉지, 평지로 분류 하여 서로 상이한 보간법과 해상도로 다중 해상도 DEM을 생성하였고 지형의 특성을 대표하는 model keypoint 데이터를 생성하여 포함하였다. 또한 3차원 공간정보를 포함하는 데이터 융합을 위해 도화원도와 통합하여 포괄적, 적응적 및 융통적 지형공간 데이터 모델링을 방안을 제안하였다.

Quadrotor with limited flight time due to battery level can have the extended mission life by applying energy harvesting technology. Bio-inspiration from the birds' locomotion of flight and perch-and-stare can make energy consumption efficient, and energy harvesting technology can generate energy. In order to charge the battery with solar power, the drones are required to be in a position without shade. In the mountainous terrain, a novel mechanism is required in order to be located stably at the top of the tree or the inclined rock. In this study, we propose an analysis of the origami structure and the concept design of the perching mechanism with two stable equilibrium states. The origami structure composed of compliant material can be applied to the perching mechanism that can be locked passively. Moreover, the experimental results of the trajectory and perching test are discussed.

The application of local air circulation models in the field of air pollution research has become more and more popular with increasing demands of detailed wind data for obtaining precise information on spatial and temporal variations. However the prediction of air circulation near the surface is generally not a simple task because of intricate interactions between surface and air. Particularly in Korea, many areas are mountainous with a complicated shoreline. Because considerable errors could be introduced into the model predictions, it is necessary to confirm their feasibility by comparing model predictions with observations. In this paper, the results from the evaluation of model predictions in selected publications in Korea as well as their procedures were reviewed. Various aspects of errors in the model predictions. such as possible sources, vulnerable conditions, and reduction methods, were discussed.

Tunnelling to bypass major landslide areas is considered as a good and long-term environmentally friendly solution to reduce an existing hazard. In Norway, hundreds of kilometres of tunnels have been constructed in areas prone to landslides and snow avalanches. Although tunnelling is considered as an expensive mitigation strategy for bypassing landslides, analysis indicate that in some cases the cost of building a tunnel can be repaid by savings in driving costs (fuel) alone over a period of 5-10 years due to reduced driving distances. The other benefits of constructing tunnels in landslide areas include savings in time and increased safety. The Norwegian Method of Tunnelling (NMT) is considered safe, efficient and cost effective compared to other tunnelling techniques. Some aspects of NMT, which are considered safe and cost efficient, are presented. The application of updated rock support techniques, including reinforced ribs of shotctrete (RRS), which is a key component of the Norwegian Method of Tunnelling (NMT), is highlighted.
