도로 주변의 영상을 사용자들에게 제공하기 위해서는 사생활 침해의 문제가 발생하지 않도록 영상에 존재하는 사람(얼굴)을 추출하여 제거하는 과정이 필수적으로 이루어져야 한다. 도로 주변의 CCD영상에서의 얼굴 추출을 위해, 영상의 먼저 HSI(색상, 채도, 명도)와 YCrCb 칼라 모델을 사용하여 피부색을 검출하였으며, 두 개의 모델을 사용한 결과 효과적인 피부색의 검출이 가능하였다. 이렇게 검출된 피부색 영역을 연결성과 밝기 차이를 영역 분할을 실행하고 나뉜 구역들에 면적, 개수, 비율, 타원의 조건을 적용하여 최종적인 얼굴 후보 구역을 결정하였다. 그리고 이렇게 결정된 구역들을 임계값을 이용하여 이진화하고, 이진화 된 영상 중 검은 부분이 5% 이상일 때 얼굴로 결정하였다. 실험 결과 초상권 침해의 문제가 되는 38개의 영상 중에서 28개의 얼굴이 추출되었다. 얼굴이 추출되지 않은 원인으로는 얼굴의 음영지역과, 피부색과 유사한 배경 등을 들 수 있다. 또한 얼굴과 비슷한 색과 형태를 가진 물체들이 추출되는 사례가 많이 발생하였다. 이러한 문제들을 보완하기 위해서는 얼굴 후보 영역조건을 세분화 하고 영역 분할 방식과, 얼굴 최종 결정 부분의 알고리즘을 더 구체적으로 보완해야 할 필요성이 있다고 여겨진다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the temporal variations of VOCs at an urban site, and to compare the concentrations of VOCs at an urban site in Daegu with those at a suburban site in Gyeongsan. Three hourly VOC samples in the ambient air were collected using a sequential tube sampler (STS 25, Perkin Elmer) throughout two weeks during May and July representing spring and summer seasons, respectively. The VOC concentrations were determined by an automatic thermal desorption apparatus with GC/MS analysis. A total of 12 VOCs of environmental concern were determined, which are chloroform, benzene, trichloroethylene, toluene, tetra-chloroethylene, ethylbenzene, m+p-xylenes, o-xylene, styrene, 1,3,5- and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzenes. Among 12 target VOCs, the most abundant compound appeared to be toluene, being followed by xylenes. The mean concentrations at the urbn site were 1.2 pub for benzene and 20.4 ppb for toluene (n=221) while the mean levels at the suburban site were 0.9 ppb and 4.3 ppb for benzene and toluene (n=96), respectively. The urban site concentrations were typically several-fold higher than those measured at the suburban site. It was found that general trends of VOC levels were significantly dependent on traffic conditions at the sampling site since VOC concentrations were at their maximum during rush hours, i.e. $9{\sim}12a.m$ and $6{\sim}9p.m$. Statistical investigations were conducted to investigate any significant relationships between VOC concentrations and affecting factors. Calculated correlation coefficients among VOCs were positively significant at a level of 0.05 in most cases. Increased concentrations of toluene in the urban site were estimated to reflect the effect of large industrial sources, mainly from textile industry.

Numerical research on four typical configurations of noise mitigation structures and their characteristics of wind loads are reported in this paper. The turbulence model as well the model parameters, the modeling of the equilibrium atmospheric boundary layer, the mesh discretization etc., were carefully considered in the numerical model to improve the numerical accuracy. Also a numerical validation of one configuration with the wind tunnel test data was made. Through detailed analyses of the wind load characteristics with the inclined part and the wind incidence angle, it was found that the addition of an inclined part to a noise mitigation structure at-grade would affect the mean nett pressure coefficients on the vertical part, and that the extent of this effect depends on the length of the inclined part itself. The magnitudes of the mean nett pressure coefficients for both the vertical part and the inclined part of noise mitigation structure at-grade tended to increase with length of inclined part. Finally, a comparison with the wind load code British/European Standard BS EN 1991-1-4:2005 was made and the envelope of the mean nett pressure coefficients of the noise mitigation structures was given for design purposes. The current research should be helpful to improve current wind codes by providing more reasonable wind pressure coefficients for different configurations of noise mitigation structures.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of soil amendment (heat-expanded clay and active carbon) and planting of Dendranthema zawadskii var. latilobum on the remediation of salt-affected soil and the plant growth under high calcium chloride (CaCl₂) concentration. The experimental group comprised treatments including Non treatment (Cont.), heat-expanded clay (H), active carbon (AC), planting (P), heat-expanded clay+planting (H+P), active carbon+planting (AC+P). A 200 mL solution of CaCl₂ at a concentration of 10 g·L^-1 was applied as irrigation once every 2 weeks. Compared to the Cont., the incorporation of the 'heat-expanded clay' amendment decreased electrical conductivity of the soil leachate and cation exchange capacity, whereas the growth of Dendranthema zawadskii var. latilobum was relatively increased. These results suggest that the combination of 'heat-expanded clay' amendment and planting will mitigate negative effect of de-icing salts and improve plant growth in salt-contaminated roadside soils.

본 연구는 도시화 과정에서 발생한 도시 열섬현상을 완화하기 위해 도시 내에서 시행할 수 있는 생활권 녹지 조성 방법인 근린공원 조성, 소공원 조성, 주차장 녹화, 가로수 식재, 옥상·벽면 녹화 다섯 가지의 유형에 대해 세부 녹화 시나리오를 설정하여 열환경 개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석하는 것을 목표로 한다. 열환경 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 미기후 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 ENVI-met 4.4.6v 모델을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 공원의 식재 밀도가 높아질수록 기온이 낮아졌으나 사람이 느끼는 온열 체감 정도인 열쾌적성 지수 PET는 기온과 정비례하지 않았다. 수목이 증가하며 기온은 감소하였으나 상대습도가 소폭 증가 및 풍속이 다소 감소하였으며, 특히 PET에 많은 영향을 미치는 평균 복사온도가 수목 밀도와 정비례하지 않아 PET 역시 기온과 다른 양상을 보였다. 소공원은 한 개소 조성 후 효과를 확인하였을 때 최대 56m 반경까지 기온 저감 영향을 주었고, 250m 간격으로 세 개소를 추가 조성한 경우 기온 저감 범위가 약 12.5% 증가하였다. 기온과 달리 PET는 식재된 수목 영역 인근만 영향을 미쳐 소공원 조성 후 주변 환경의 열쾌적성은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 지표면 포장을 아스팔트에서 잔디블록으로 변경하거나 옥상 및 벽면녹화 시행 등은 직접적인 일사 차양의 역할을 하지 않으나 기온 저감에 긍정적인 효과를 주었고, PET는 세 유형 모두 조성 전후 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 가로수는 식재 간격이 좁을수록 더 높은 기온 저감 효과를 보였으나, PET는 수목 밀도와 정비례하지 않았다. 가로수 하부 관목 식재의 경우 기온 저감에는 큰 영향을 주지 않으나 열쾌적성 개선에는 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 본 연구는 도시 열섬현상 해소를 위한 생활권 녹지 조성 전략을 개괄적으로 제시하고 효율적인 열환경 개선을 위한 세부 전략을 수립하는 데에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

교차로 과포화 시 대응할 수 있는 실시간 신호제어전략은 전방향 및 대기행렬 검지를 위해 많은 검지기가 필요하며, 높은 설치비용이 요구된다. 또한, 기존 앞막힘 예방제어는 해당 접근로의 현시시간을 축소하는 단편적인 전략으로 대응하기 때문에 그 효과가 일시적으로 제한된다. 본 연구에서는 현장에 설치된 ITS영상정보를 활용한 과포화 신호제어전략을 개발하였다. 교차로 과포화 시 발생되는 대기행렬을 영상분석으로 추출하여 이를 기반으로 포화도 비를 산출하여 포화도 비에 따른 신호제어전략을 수립하였다. 신호제어전략은 과포화를 2단계로 나누어 과포화 1단계는 대기행렬 기반 주방향 신호개선, 과포화 2단계는 과포화 시 발생되는 꼬리물기 현상에 대응할 수 있는 신호제어기법을 개발하였다. 신호제어전략의 현장 적용성을 높이기 위해 기존 현시순서, 옵셋, 주기 등을 고정시키고 운영변수의 미세조정전략을 채택하였고, 주도로 위주의 검지 체계를 구축하였다. 신호제어전략별 모의실험 결과, 과포화 상황에서 지체감소 효과가 뚜렷하였고 실시간신호제어인 COSMOS와 비교하여 비용 대비 효율이 더 높은 것으로 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the germination rates and ground coverage rates of the 16 native wild flower, herbaceous, shrub and woody plants according to temperature and seeding timing for the revegetation and rehabilitation of the roadside slopes. Also, this study was conducted to suggest design criteria to select revegetation plants and to decide proper seed mixture for ecological restoration of the disturbed manmade slopes as a environmentally friendly construction. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Most of the plants germinated after 10~14 days. Woody plants germinated more slowly than wild flowers and herbaceous plants because of the hard seed. 2. Most of the plants showed the highest percentage of the germination rates under $15/25^{\circ}C$ temperature. The next was in order of under the $20/30^{\circ}C$ temperature, normal temperature(October) and $25/35^{\circ}C$ temperature. 3. At the chamber experiment, the Sorbaria sorbifolia var. stellipila showed the highest germination rates. Most of the native wild flowers germinated well and showed high germination rates under the various temperature. 4. As the field germination experiments, the seeding at August shows higher germination rates than that of the seeding at September, but showed lower surviving percentage of the germinated seedlings and lower ground coverage percentage than those of the seeding at September. After one year, Chionanthus retusus, Acer palmatum, Albizzia julibrissin are germinated and showed 10% coverage rates. So, they can be used as revegetation plants for the restoration works. 5. As seed mixture experiment, it was not effective only to increase the proportion of the ratio of the tree seeds, relatively high price, for making woody vegetation. It would be more successful to make vegetation structure by natural competition among wild flowers, shrubs and trees. 6. The excessive dominance of trees in revegetation works may destroy the lower layer of vegetation and it will be undesirable on the species diversity. It is more important to recover the species diversity of the plant community by seed mixture with the considering the germination, the growth characteristics and the correlation effect among revegetation plants. 7. To recover the manmade slopes quickly, increasing the ratio of the wild flower was recommended.

Aiming at nature's early restoring needs to select plant species harmonizing with surrounding environment that fits to restoring goal of ultimately aiming at woody plants dominant vegetation that protect and stabilize surface parts of bared slopes. And it is important to make it assimilated with surrounding natural vegetation by differentiating planning of seed mixtures. Natural Ecological Restoring Construction Methods (JSB Method) was developed to increase the effect of landscape change according to seasons not to simple hydro-seeding by reducing rate of foreign grasses while raising rate of wild flower using. It was considered that using wild flowers that bloom on each season solved the problems of slope landscapes that looks artificial and uninteresting. After researching environmental condition of the slopes, JSB Method has shown that, as of wet-type method, soil is relatively soft and the difference of thickness of plant base soil media affects on the difference of soil hardness. In case of soil hardness of 8.8~17mm, there's dangerousness of slope's collapsing, but it has shown that growth of plant was favorable. For the acidity of soil, most of them are in the type of neutralized soil of more than pH 6. And after analyzing the degree of woody plants dominance, it had shown that lower part was occupied with wild flowers and other herbaceous species like China pin, golden phesant mum, pitcher plant, and middle and upper part was occupied with woody plants like silk-tree, sumac forming multi-layer structure. It can be concluded that the restoration objects of the woody plant vegetation on the roadside slopes can be accomplished successfully by Natural Ecological Restoring Construction Method (JSB method).

DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communications : 근거리 전용 무선통신)는 차량의 고속 이동시에 차량과 기지국 사이 근거리 통신영역 내에서 무선으로 접속하여 텔레매틱스 서비스를 제공하고 교통정보 수집에 활용이 가능하다. 현재 DSRC는 5.8GHz의 주파수 대역을 사용하고 있으나 전파 자체의 직진성이 우수하기 때문에 앞에 장애물이나 다른 차량이 존재하는 경우 가시선 확보의 어려움이 발생하고 이로 인해 음영 현상과 통신 장애가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 DSRC 문제점 중에 하나인 가시선 방해로 인한 음영현상을 해결하고 통신율을 높이기 위한 방안으로 현재 실제로 적용되고 있는 TTA의 DSRC 표준방식인 '5.8GHz 대역 노변기지국과 차량단말기 사이의 근거리전용 무선통신 표준'의 프로토콜을 알아보고, 릴레이 프로토콜(relay Protocol)의 통신 과정과 릴레이 프로토콜의 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 릴레이 프로토콜을 DSRC 시스템과 차량간 통신에 응용하여 고정 릴레이 프로토콜과 이동 릴레이 프로토콜을 고려한다. 릴레이 프로토콜은 추후에 DSRC를 이용한 차량간 통신으로까지 적용되어 차량 운전자간의 화상통화나 차량간의 안전거리 확보를 통한 사고 방지 등에 효과적으로 응용되리라 예상된다.

Appropriate speed limits at a reasonable level in urban roads are highly important factors for efficient and safe movement. Thus, it is greatly necessary to develop the objective models or methodology based on engineering study considering factors such as traffic accident rates, roadside development levels, and roadway geometry characteristics etc. The purpose of this study is to develop the estimate model of appropriate speed limits at each road sections in urban roads using traffic information big data and field specific data and to review the effects of accident decrease. In this study, the estimate method of appropriate speed limits in directional two or more lanes of urban roads is reflecting features of actual variables in a form of adjustment factor on the basis of the maximum statutory speed limits. As a result of investigating and testing influential variables, the main variables to affect the operating speed are the function of road, the existence of median, the width of lane, the number of traffic entrance/exit path and the number of traffic signal or nonsignal at intersection and crosswalk. As a result of testing this model, when the differences are bigger between the real operating speed and the recommended speed limits using model developed in this study, the accident rate generally turns out to be higher. In case of using the model proposed in this study, it means accident rate can be lower. When the result of this study is applied, the speed limits of directional two or more lane roads in Seoul appears about 11km/h lower than the current speed limits. The decrease of average operating speed caused by the decrease of speed limits is 2.8km/h, and the decrease effect of whole accidents according to the decrease of speed is 18% at research road. In case that accident severity is considered, the accident decrease effects are expected to 17~24% in fatalities, 11~17% in seriously injured road user, 6~9% in slightly injured road user, 5~6% in property damage only accidents.
