In particle radiotherapy, a shape of the beam to conform the irradiation field is statically defined by the compensator, collimator and potal devices at the outside of the patient body. However the target such as lung or liver cancer moves along with respiration. This increases the irradiated volume of normal tissue. Prior discussions about organ motions along with respiration have been mainly focused on inferior-superior movement that was usually perpendicular to beam axis. On the other hand, the change of the target depth along the beam axis is very important especially in particle radiotherapy, because the range end of beam (Bragg peak) is so sharp as to be matched to distal edge of the target. In treatment planning, the range of the particle beam inside the body is calculated using a calibration curve relating CT number and water equivalent path length (WEL) to correct the inhomogeneities of tissues. The variation in CT number along the beam path would cause the uncertainties of range calculation at treatment planning for particle radiotherapy. To estimate the uncertainties of the range calculation associated with patient breathing, we proposed the method using sequential CT images with respiration waveform, and analyzed organ motions and WELs at patients that had lung or liver cancer. The variation of the depth along the beam path was presented in WEL rather than geometrical length. In analyzed cases, WELs around the diaphragm were remarkably changed depending on the respiration, and the magnitude of these WEL variations was almost comparable to inferior-superior movement of diaphragm. The variation of WEL around the lung was influenced by heartbeat.

This paper presents a robotic tower-crane system using encoder and gyroscope sensors as path tracking devices. Tower crane work is often associated with falling accidents and industrial disasters. Such problems often incur a loss of time and money for the contractor. For this reason, many studies have been done on an automatic tower crane. As a part of 5-year 23-million-dollar research project in Korea, we are developing a robotic tower crane which aims to improve the safety level and productivity. We selected a luffing tower crane, which is commonly used in urban construction projects today, as a platform for the robotic tower crane system. This system comprises two modules: the automated path planning module and the path tracking module. The automated path planning system uses the 3D Cartesian coordinates. When the robotic tower crane lifts construction material, the algorithm creates a line, which represents a lifting path, in virtual space. This algorithm seeks and generates the best route to lift construction material while avoiding known obstacles from real construction site. The path tracking system detects the location of a lifted material in terms of the 3D coordinate values using various types of sensors including adopts encoder and gyroscope sensors. We are testing various sensors as a candidate for the path tracking device. This specific study focuses on how to employ encoder and gyroscope sensors in the robotic crane These sensors measure a movement and rotary motion of the robotic tower crane. Finally, the movement of the robotic tower crane is displayed in a virtual space that synthesizes the data from two modules: the automatically planned path and the tracked paths. We are currently field-testing the feasibility of the proposed system using an actual tower crane. In the next step, the robotic tower crane will be applied to actual construction sites with a following analysis of the crane's productivity in order to ascertain its economic efficiency.

This paper proposes a hermite spline based D* algorithm for effective path planning of mobile robot to improve the detecting speed. In conventional path planning research, a robot is supposed to pass through predetermined centers of grid partitions of area. However it doesn't guarantee the optimal path during its navigation. In addition, a robot is hard to avoid obstacles effectively. The proposed algorithm in this paper makes use of stochastic characteristics of nonholonomic mobile robot and estimation of shortest path to curvature movement of the robot. The performance evaluation of the improved spline D* algorithm performed through simulation shows its effectiveness. Moreover, the experiment verifies that a robot can find the shortest path by building the curve paths while it is moving on the path in spline.

가상의 캐릭터가 이동하기 위해 경로를 계획하는 일은 컴퓨터 게임을 포함한 여러 응용 분야에서 필수적인 문제이다. 기존의 로봇 경로 계획과는 달리 하나 이상의 캐릭터가 그룹 이동을 하는 경우가 많으며 이 경우에는 이동 경로의 최단 여부보다는 자연스러운 그룹 이동 등의 질적인 면이 강조된다. 본 논문에서는 리더로 정해진 단일 캐릭터에 대해 정적인 환경에서의 전역 경로를 계획하고 이 경로를 따라 그룹이 이동하며 동적 장애물을 피하도록 지역 경로를 계획하는 2단계 경로 계획 방법을 제안한다. 그룹이 이동할 수 있는 공간은 리더를 중심으로한 정방형 격자 배열을 이용하여 확보하고 이를 격자창이라고 부른다. 멤버 캐릭터들은 격자창 공간 안에서 리더에 대한 상대적인 위치를 잡아 이동하며 격자창이 이동할 수 있는 경로를 계획하기 위해 정적 환경을 격자창에 대한 형태 공간으로 치환하여 로드맵을 구한다. 지역 경로 계획 단계에서는 리더에 대해 인공 포텐셜 필드를 이용하여 동적 장애물을 회피하도록 하고 나머지 멤버들에 대해서는 격자창 내에서 리더에 대한 상대적인 위치를 확보하는 방법으로 연산량을 줄인다. 제안하는 경로 계획 방법을 구현하기 위한 효율적인 알고리즘을 소개하며 정적 환경에서 계획된 경로를 따라 그룹이 이동하면서 동적 장애물에 대해 효과적으로 대처하는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통해 보여 준다.

최근 교통약자의 이동권에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으나 대부분 제도적 시설 공급측면에 치중되어 일시적 이동상의 불편함만을 해소할 뿐이며 실제 교통약자에게 향상된 이동편의를 제공하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교통약자의 보행에 영향을 미치는 경사로, 계단과 같은 물리적 장애 요소들을 고려하여 교통약자 유형별 최적경로를 탐색하는 기법을 제안함으로써 교통약자의 이동편의를 직접적으로 향상시키고자 한다. 선행연구 및 관련 제도를 분석하여 교통약자의 보행에 방해가 되는 보행장애요소를 선정하고 계층적의사결정법(Analytic Hierarchy Process; AHP)을 이용하여 각 보행장애요소의 상대적 중요도를 산정하였으며 마지막으로 퍼지 시스템을 통하여 교통약자의 보행에 방해되는 정도를 나타내는 링크별 보행방해도를 도출한다. 보행방해도를 바탕으로 거리 요소를 포함한 보행 경로비용을 계산하고 이 값이 최소가 되는 경로를 다익스트라 알고리듬을 통해 탐색함으로써 교통약자 유형별 최적 경로를 제공한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 기법을 적용하여 도출된 19개 경로를 대상으로 실제 현장 실험을 통하여 각 경로에 대한 만족도 설문조사를 수행하였고 이를 통해 실제 교통약자의 이동에 편의를 향상하는 유의미한 경로가 도출되었음을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 최적경로 탐색 기법이 내비게이션 서비스에 적용된다면 교통약자의 이동복지향상을 도모할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

This paper presents the issue that is predicting the movement of an agent in an enclosed space by using the MDP (Markov Decision Process). Recent researches on the optimal path finding are confined to derive the shortest path with the use of deterministic algorithm such as $A^*$ or Dijkstra. On the other hand, this study focuses in predicting the path that the agent chooses to escape the limited space as time passes, with the stochastic method. The MDP reward structure from GIS (Geographic Information System) data contributed this model to a feasible model. This model has been approved to have the high predictability after applied to the route of previous armed red guerilla.

As the retail industry has been challenged by stiff competition, the retailer becomes more interested in better understanding consumers' in-store behavior to gain and sustain competitive advantage. Consumers' shopping paths provide valuable clues to understanding customers' in-store behavior, which has been a long standing research issue in business. This study is to explore the shopping path patterns in a grocery using RFID technology and clustering method. To this end, we designed the RFID systems, affixing active RFID tags to the bottom of grocery carts. The tag emit signal that is received by receptors installed at various location throughout the store. The RFID systems provide the time and location of the cart while consumers shop around the store. The point of sale data are matched with the cart movement records to provide a complete picture of each shopping path. To find the distinctive patterns of consumers' shopping paths, we proposed the distance-index matrix using dijkstra method and normalization method to conduct the clustering in order to handle the problem in measuring the similarity among shopping paths, which is raised by the spatial nature of consumer movement in a grocery. After analyzing the RFID data obtained in one of the groceries in a major Korean retailer, we could successfully identify several distinctive patterns of shopping paths, which prove to provide the valuable implications for store management.

In order to make the underwater vehicle carry out the mission in a submarine environment, it is needed to plan a safe and efficient route to a given destination and prevent the autonomous submersible from colliding with obstacles while moving along the planned route. The function of collision avoidance makes the travel distance of the autonomous submersible longer. Moreover, it should move slowly near to obstacles against their moving disturbance. As a result, this invokes the degradation of the navigation efficiency in the process of collision avoidance. The side effect of the collision avoidance is not ignorable in the case of high congested environments such as the coast with many obstacles. In this paper, we suggest a path planning method which provides the route with minimum travel time considering collision avoidance in congested environment. For the purpose, we define environmental congestion map related to geometric information and obstacles. And we propose a method to consider the moving cost in the RRT scheme that provides the existing minimum distance path. We verified that the efficiency of our algorithm with simulation experiments.

Despite the growing online exposure of retailes, offline retail channels still outperform online channels in the total retail volume of some countries. There is much interest in the physical layout plans of retail stores to expand sales. Product placement that have a large impact on customer purchasing behavior at offline retailers influences customer movement and sales volume. But in many cases, each retailer relies on unsystematic and autonomous product placement. When multiple products are sold with one purchase, the customer's movement for shopping may be evaluated in terms of customer efficiency and additional impulse purchase. In this paper, the social network is applied to sales data of a retail store and the result is used for evaluation of product placement and customer path. The frequent sales product composition was identified using k-core from sales data in the form of shopping baskets. The location was checked for the identified compositions of products, the spatial variance was measured and the customer's path was identified. With these results, the store arrangement of products was evaluated with appropriate improvement directions. The analysis method of this paper can be an alternative analysis approach for better layout of retail stores.
