A modular construction method includes factory-prefabricated room-sized volumetric units. Although low-rise buildings have been constructed worldwide using this method for more than 30 years, it is a relatively new technology in high-rise construction. There are three basic methods of constructing high-rise buildings using modular construction: the core method, the core-and-podium combination method, and the modular in-fill method. While the first two have been used in the USA and in several European countries, the third method, introduced in 2011 by an international cruise ship development firm, is a rather new approach for which there are few case histories. Therefore, its applicability and construction feasibility should be verified. As a pilot study to test the applicability of the modular in-fill method, a 12-story residential building was built in Korea. This paper describes a case study of the pilot project. The advantages and disadvantages of the method and its applicability in terms of cost effectiveness and construction schedule management were evaluated.

In this research, a new methodology to perform building energy analysis using Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard has been studied. With the help of Archicad 14 modeling software, a 3D test model is generated and then exported to IFCXML format. A ruby code program retrieves the building information from the resulting IFCXML file using Nokogiri library. An INP file is created and gets ready for next energy analysis step. DOE 2.2 program analyzes the INP file and gives a detailed report of the energy cost of the building. Case study shows when using the IFC standard method, the Interoperability of the energy analysis is greatly improved. The main stream 3D building modeling software supports IFC standard. DOE 2.2 is able to read the INP file generated by IFC file. This means almost any 3D model created by main stream modeling software can be analyze in terms of energy cost Thus, IFC based energy analysis method has a promising future. With the development and application of IFC standard, designers can do more complex and easy-to-run energy analysis in a more efficient way.

Ensuring an automated fallback strategy in response to malfunctions during the execution of the Dynamic Driving Task (DDT) is imperative for Level 4 autonomous driving systems. While Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) represents a prominent Fail-Operational structure, its practical application to multiple systems is constrained by the substantial increase in costs. In this paper, we propose a pragmatic Fail-Operational safety concept utilizing on-board camera sensors and the Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication module, known as the On-Board Unit (OBU), to provide traffic signal information within the vehicle. The viability of the designed safety concept is validated through error injection simulations. This approach addresses the practical limitations associated with applying Fail-Operational functionality to numerous systems due to the considerable cost escalation. Leveraging camera sensors and V2I communication modules presents a practical and cost-effective solution for maintaining operational safety in Level 4 autonomous driving systems, particularly when responding to malfunctions in the DDT.

The most used smart set-top box in home driven by the Android OS and based on Wi-Fi technology has to ensure nothing wrong with the Wi-Fi service regardless of the various user's installation environment. The direction test method about the nondirectional of the Wi-Fi doesn't be determined as the standard and each manufacturers devise the their own test methods and conduct the tests. In this paper, we created the 720 test cases considering 2 components of upload & download, the 10 elements of the vertical angle and the 36 elements of the horizontal angle looking at the wireless router in order to verify omni-directional Wi-Fi capability. In reality, from viewpoint in terms of cost and time constraint, it is difficult to test all the test cases. Therefore, we decided to reduce test cases by applying Pair-wise testing technique which is one of combinational testing techniques based on ISO / IEC 29119-4. And we obtained the test cases in which the Pair-wise technique was applied by Allpairs tool which output test cases automatically and conducted the test. It could be confirmed that the proposed technique shortened 48.61% of the time to be spent in progressing the existing test cases and that the trace about the part in which the problem was generated with the result of the simplified test case was possible enough.

This study introduces a new type of a modal split model that use zonal data instead of cost data as independent variables. It has been indicated that the ones using cost data have deficiencies in the multicollinearity of travel time and cost variables and unpredictability of independent variables. The zonal data employed in this study include (1) socioeconomic data, (2) land use data and (3) transportation system data. The test results showed that the proposed modal split model using zonal data performs better than the other does.

In this study, the factors affecting opportunism in the relationship between suppliers and key accounts were analyzed from the viewpoint of transaction cost theory, market power theory, and relationship marketing theory. As a result of the hypothesis test, Hypothesis 1 stating that demand volatility will have a positive effect on opportunism and Hypothesis 2 that transaction-specific investment will have a positive effect on opportunism were also supported. In addition, Hypothesis 3 stating that channel power will have a positive effect on opportunism was also supported. Lastly, Hypothesis 4 stating that relational commitment will have a negative effect on opportunism was not supported, along with Hypothesis 5 stating that transaction satisfaction will have a negative effect on opportunism. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are as follows. This study has identified the antecedents of opportunism by comprehensively applying the transaction cost theory, market power theory, and relationship marketing theory. In addition, this study can identify what a company should manage specifically to lower opportunism by identifying the antecedents of opportunism. The limitations of this study and the directions for future studies are as follows. First, not all of the antecedents of opportunism of key accounts have been extensively investigated from the viewpoint of the transaction cost theory, market power theory, and relationship marketing theory. In the future, it is necessary to identify additional factors. Second, the study was conducted only in the supplier's viewpoint. In future studies, it is expected that more accurate research results can be obtained by simultaneously examining not only the supplier's point of view but also the buyer's point of view.

To assess an economic value of Cheonggyecheon river restoration project, an in-depth exit survey data was collected to apply travel cost method in this study. Poisson model, Negative Binomial, Zero-truncated Poisson, and Zero-truncated Negative Binomial model were executed due to the nature of count data. Empirical results showed that regressors were statistically significant and corresponded to general consumer theory. Since our survey data showed over-dispersion, Zero-truncated Negative Binomial was selected as an optimal one to analyze travel demand of Cheonggyecheon by model goodness of fit test among those aforementioned empirical models. Estimating an economic value of Cheonggyecheon river restoration project, which is known as an ecological river restoration project, we used annual visit of individual traveler and an optimal model. Suffice to say that the annual economic value of Cheonggyecheon river restoration project was estimated as 193.4 billion won in 2013.

The purpose of this study is to construct a dynamic traffic analysis model using the existing traffic flow theory in order to develope a dynamic traffic assignment technique. In this study the dynamic traffic analysis model was constructed using Daganzo's CELL TRANSMISSION THEORY which was considered more suitable to dynamic traffic assignment than the other traffic flow theories. We developed newly the diverging split module, the cost update module and the link cost function and defined the maximum waiting time decision function that Daganzo haven't defined certainly at his Papers. The output that resulted from the simulation of the dynamic traffic analysis model with test network I and II was shown at some tables and figures, and the analysis of the bottleneck and the HOV lane theory showed realistic outputs. Especially, the result of traffic assignment using the model doesn't show equilibrium status every time slice but showed that the average travel cost of every path maintains similarly in every time slice. It is considered that this model can be used at the highway operation and the analysis of traffic characteristics at a diverging section and the analysis of the HOV lane effect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the most cost-effectiveness screening strategies for cervical cancer in Korea. We calculated the age-specific cervical cancer incidence rate from Korea Central Cancer Registry (2003), and then estimated the schedule sensitivity, detection probability, and screening and confirmative costs of each screening strategy based on the stochastic process (Lee and Zelen, 1998). The efficiency of the screening strategy was evaluated by incremental cost-effectiveness analysis. The most effective strategy was every 3 years pap smear test between the age of 35 and 65 years in the cervical cancer screening. The findings of this study will be helpful to evaluate efficiency of cancer screening strategies, and to provide the theoretical background of development and assessment of early detection of cancer in Korea.
