Transportation of goods by rail in border areas requires considerable time, money, and human resources. Therefore, in this study, a blockchain-based non-stop passing system is proposed to solve this problem. In this study, each transit station and train are designated as one network node, and the corresponding node participates in the blockchain network to record and verify data. In the process, we will design a blockchain network using Docker and design a network interface. Without changing the data and information generated in the existing legacy clearance system, it is possible to configure a blockchain network to ensure the integrity and reliability of the data and to minimize the consumption of time and human resources. The railroad non-stop passing system aims to change the existing legacy system to a blockchain-based non-stop passing system.

Even Korea is big country of automobile, the occurrence of traffic accident is in last place in 29 OECD countries. If it is evaluated by assessment guide of investment over the development project of public-traffic facilities, it was shown that the direct economical loss was fairly great. In this study, in order to minimize the traffic accidents occurring at curve area of road, it was tried to establish the standard of non-passing distance. The close-range photogrammetry was used and three dimensional modeling was fulfilled. Currently, this paper was focused on presenting the standard of road design with analyzing the internal and external standard of non-passing distance.

For maintaining railroad, accumulated passing tonnage is a determinant factor of appropriate rail replacement time. Recently, Seoul Metro's rail maintaining system and technology is being improved from previous years, which increasing a standard of rail replacement. Thus, this brings importance of estimating and managing for accumulated passing tonnage. In case of light weighted train such as subway, current method of calculating accumulated passing tonnage has defaults of misrepresenting accumulated passing tonnage data. Because current method is based on the weight of passengers and train., and operation data. In addition, currently there is no mechanical and electronic system that could represent and support the accurate data between heavy and non-heavy traffic area, and accumulated passing tonnage is calculated inaccurately by estimating average value each line. The current method of calculating accumulated passing tonnage misleads to unpredictable data that represent inappropriate rail replacement period, which leads to under or over analyzed replacement period. If accumulated passing tonnage is over estimated, rail replacement leads to waste of budget. Hence, it is necessary to construct reliable actual measurement system to manage rail's life safely and efficiently, and in this study the accumulated passing tonnage measurement device is installed with using rail pad of optical fiber sensors and its effect is analyzed.

An MTBF(mean time between failures) of large scale parallel systems is known to be only an order of several hours, and large computations sometimes result in a waste of huge amount of CPU time, However. the MPI(Message Passing Interface), a de facto standard for message passing parallel programming, suggests no possibility to handle such a problem. In this paper, we propose an application-level fault tolerant computation system, purely on the basis of the current MPI standard without using any non-standard fault tolerant MPI library, that can be used for general scientific synchronous parallel computation.

The concept of a non-contact type of UV disinfection system was introduced in this study. UV lamps and their quartz sleeves hang over the water surface and there is no interface between the sleeve and water. Obviously, there is no fouling. Based on optical laws and other UV distribution models, a detail mathematical model for a non-contact type UV disinfection system was developed in this study. Pathway length of UV light in a non-contact type photoreactor is longer than that in a submerged type photoreactor because the light is more refractive while passing through 3 interfaces of medium. But the pathway length passing through the water media is not significantly longer than that in a submerged type photoreactor so, the absorption of UV light by water is not significantly different from the other system. Due to the reflection effect, UV intensity is rapidly decreased as the horizontal distance from the light source is increased. The reflective attenuation in a non-contact type photoreactor is higher than that in a submerged type photoreactor. These mean that the short photoreactor is advantageous than the narrow-long photoreactor for the non-contact type photoreactor in an optical point of view.

This paper presents a method of longitudinal motion planning of autonomous vehicles to deal with the non-signalized crosswalk environment. Based on the traffic laws, vehicles should slow down when passing the non-signalized crosswalk to prepare for situations where a nearby pedestrian starts to cross. If a pedestrian is in the crossing phase, vehicles should stop in front of the stop-line and wait until the pedestrian finishes the crossing maneuver. To realize these behaviors in autonomous vehicles, the driving mode and corresponding driving strategy are determined when vehicles encounter the crosswalk. The driving mode is determined according to the behavioral status of the nearby pedestrian. Longitudinal motion for the stopping or passing maneuver is planned according to the determined driving mode. The proposed algorithm has been validated via autonomous driving tests with our test vehicle in a real world. The test results show that the proposed algorithm enables the test vehicle to follow the traffic laws and behave safely against crossing pedestrians in the non-signalized crosswalk.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a pre-operation video assisted education program on residual urine, gas passing and state anxiety in women undergoing hysterectomy. Methods: Nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was used for the study. In the research, video assisted education program was applied to the experimental group while a similar conventional education was done to the control group. The pre-operation state anxiety and post-operation residual urine and gas discharge of both the groups were measured. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The experimental group was significantly higher than control group on gas passing (t=3.04, p=.00). However the residual urine (t=0.34, p=.73) and state anxiety (t=0.81, p=.82) did not make significant differences. Conclusion: This study is very meaningful in that it developed and provided a nursing intervention can positively affect hysterectomy patients. The pre-operation video assisted education program may be an effective nursing intervention that is clinically practical and useful to reduce time of the gas passing of hysterectomy patients after the operation.

Most of the models for the vehicle routing problems studied in the literature assumed constant travel times. However, those approaches may give infeasible solutions when traffic congestion causes delays in travel time. To overcome such difficulty, there have been some researches considering the change of the travel time which is called the time dependent vehicle routing problem (TDVRP). TDVRP assumes that the travel time between two locations is not only affected by the distance traveled, but by many other factors including the time of the day. In this paper, we propose a branch-and-price algorithm to solve the TDVRP. The time dependent property of the travel time is dealt with an enumeration scheme with bounding procedures in the column generation procedure identifying a profitable route. The proposed algorithm guarantees the "Non-passing" property to be held in the solutions. The algorithm was tested on problems composed of the Solomon's benchmark instances for 25 and 50 nodes. Computational results are reported.

Numerical analysis of aerodynamic characteristics was differently performed according to the running situation of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) that would be introduced for an improvement in efficiency of the used railroad track. Fluent6.0 was used for the analysis of Non-tilting case, Tilting case and Passing-by case with the model of TTX. As a result, the aerodynamic drag had little difference between Tilting and Non-tilting case. However, pressure contour under the train of Tilting case was not symmetry because the gap between a train and the ground was different at both sides. And this disparity of pressure worked on the side force. In Passing-by case attraction and counterattraction occurred alternately and affected to the opposite train. When two trains were side by side, the maximum attraction was generated especially. Through an analysis of pressure wave in tunnel a large variation of pressure was generated by the bluff nose of TTX. The results in this study would be good data for the aerodynamic characteristic on TTX and provide important information to judgment of running safety.
