  • This study delves into the subtle sounds emanating from beneath the earth's surface to unveil hidden messages and the movements of life. It transforms these acoustic phenomena into digital data and reimagines them as visual elements. By employing Sismophone microphones and utilizing the FFT function in p5.js, it analyzes the intricate frequency components of subterranean sounds and translates them into various visual elements, including 3D geometric shapes, flowing lines, and moving particles. This project is grounded in the sounds recorded in diverse 'spaces of death,' ranging from the tombs of Joseon Dynasty officials to abandoned areas in modern cities. We leverage the power of sound to transcend space and time, conveying the concealed narratives and messages of forgotten places .Through the visualization of these sounds, this research blurs the boundaries between 'death' and 'life,' 'past' and 'present,' aiming to explore new forms of artistic expression and broaden perceptions through the sensory connection between sound and vision.

  • Research trends can be usefully used to determine the importance of research topics by period, identify insufficient research fields, and discover new fields. In this study, research trends of urban spaces, where various problems are occurring due to population concentration and urbanization, were analyzed by topic modeling. The analysis target was the abstracts of papers listed in the Korea Citation Index (KCI) published between 2002 and 2019. Topic modeling is an algorithm-based text mining technique that can discover a certain pattern in the entire content, and it is easy to cluster. In this study, the frequency of keywords, trends by year, topic derivation, cluster by topic, and trend by topic type were analyzed. Research in urban regeneration is increasing continuously, and it was analyzed as a field where detailed topics could be expanded in the future. Furthermore, urban regeneration is now becoming a regular research field. On the other hand, topics related to development/growth and energy/environment have entered a stagnation period. This study is meaningful because the correlation and trends between keywords were analyzed using topic modeling targeting all domestic urban studies.

  • Due to the terrain in Korea, there are many road sections passing through mountainous areas. During the winter, there is a higher risk of traffic accidents, due to black ice caused by the lack of sunlight. Despite domestic road freezing safety measures, accidents caused by road freezing results in severe traffic accidents. Under these considerations, this study analyzed whether traffic safety signs that change in response to the external temperature help drivers recognize frozen road segments. The study was conducted through analysis of the effect of the signs on a driver's perspective. For the signs under development, out of the signs designed by experts, the sign design which received the highest visibility and effectiveness evaluation ratings from the general public was selected. The sign was implemented through Virtual Reality (VR) and installed on the right side of the road to analyze the effect on gazing and driving behavior. As a result of analyzing the driver's driving behavior, a speed reduction of about 7km/h or more was found in the sign section. Therefore, It was found that the existence of the sign had a strong relationship with the rate of the drivers' speed reduction.

  • Unlike ground roads, the on-ramp merging section of underground roads cannot be seen by drivers of main road due to tunnels. In this study, a driving simulator was used for analysis, and virtual driving experiments were carried out to assess the driver's visibility for different design factors. The driver's driving behavior was analyzed by setting scenarios considering the length of chevron markings and the approach speed from the main road. The results of the analysis were used to determine the design factors for ensuring visibility when constructing the virtual driving environment for each scenario. These factors, including speed, lane change points, and driver's gaze ratios, were reviewed for significance using a statistical approach. As a result, in scenarios with a higher approach speed from the main road, it was discovered that there was a difference in driver's behavior between specific scenarios depending on the length of the section with chevron markings. Based on these findings, this study suggests implications and feasible solutions to improve driver safety on the on-ramp merging section of underground roads.

  • Currently, there are some aptitude test systems for older drivers in Korea. However, there are no methods and systems to evaluate the real driving ability for older drivers based on filed driving test. This study was conducted to investigate the availability to use the driving course test used for driving license for identifying difference in driving ability of older and non-older drivers. For the research purpose, filed experiments were conducted using the real driving course test site and evaluation times used in the field. In particular, driving behavior data that obtained from the experiments for two driver groups, older and non-older drivers, were analyzed and compared. From several statistical analyses of driving ability and vision and cognitive ability, it was found that the currently used driving course test site and evaluation times were not appropriated to identify driving ability deficiency of older drivers. To solve the problem, this study developed five evaluation items to identify driving ability deficiency of older drivers using the currently used driving course test site. It was also found that the developed five evaluation items have statistically significant correlation with vision and cognitive ability.

  • To calculate the amount of owner-caused and contractor-caused delays based on a simplified delay analysis, which has been customarily used in Korea, has a limitation in reflecting the impact of the concurrent delay and the acceleration work. It also resulted in the apportionment of liquidated damages by applying the ratio of the number of delays between the owner and the contractor. This study analyzes that the conventional method does not meet the international standards. In order to improve the problem of construction delay analysis and the apportionment of liquidated damages based on it, owner delays, contractor delays, concurrent delays, and the impact of acceleration should be analyzed together. This study suggests that in the apportionment of liquidated damages, the extension of time should be extended by the sum of concurrent delays and the owner-caused delays, and liquidated damages should be imposed on delays incurred after the extension of time. It can be seen that it conforms to the international standards. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving the problems of delay analysis and liquidated damages calculation, which have been conventionally accepted.
