Economic growth with rising household income has put more vehicles on the roads worsening traffic congestion, road accidents, and air and noise pollution. This situation is further aggravated by the potential working population who choose to drive to work instead of taking public transportation. Public bus transport (PBT) plays an important role in alleviating these problems. PBT is underutilized in Malaysia, and there is an opportunity to increase ridership without substantial investment. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the factors that influence the use of PBT in Malaysia. The data were collected using structured questionnaires from 400 respondents. The results of the analysis show that the twin factors consisting of perceived satisfaction of and perceived importance by users towards safety and comfort of facilities and services offered by PBT are significantly related to intention to use those services. The satisfaction of availability of season tickets, the importance of reliability of bus schedule and time table, and the importance of ticket pricing are also significant. By providing insights for both public bus operators and the government, this paper contributes to mitigate the underutilization of PBT in Malaysia and the consequences of putting more vehicles on the roads. From the theory perspective, this paper also contributes by extending the theory of reasoned-action to transportation studies.

Since 'The Act on Private Investment of The Infrastructure' was established in 1994, private investment as well as government's investment in transport infrastructure has been active. However investment in transport infrastructure has more risks than others' due to uncertainty both in traffic volume and in construction cost. In the current appraisal procedure of deciding transportation infrastructure investment, instead of risk management, the sensitivity analysis considering only the changes of benefit, cost and social discount rate which are main factor affecting economic feasibility is carried out. Therefore the uncertainty of various factors affecting demand, cost and benefit are not considered in feasibility study. In this study the problems in current investment appraisal system were reviewed. Using Delphi technique the major factors which have high uncertainty in feasibility study were surveyed and then improvement plan was suggested in the respective of classic 4 step demand forecasting method. The range estimation technique was also mentioned to deal with the uncertainty of the future.

In 2013, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) changed the recommended maximum range of the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) to 30 km, and the Kori Nuclear Power Plant in Republic of Korea has also expanded the EPZ to 30 km, following the recommendation. As a result, metropolitan cities with a high population density are contained within the EPZ, and evacuating millions of people should be considered if the 30 km range of evacuation is to take place. This study proposes an evacuation plan using buses (public transportation) to transport people outside of the EPZ, quickly and efficiently. To verify the appropriate mode share ratio of buses that can guarantee the right of vulnerable road users and reduce traffic congestion, a model was built simulating the Kori Nuclear Power Plant in Ulsan Metropolitan City. The scenarios were established by changing the mode share ratio of buses and passenger cars by 10%. Considering a large-scale network analysis at the city level, a cell transmission model was applied to calculate the evacuation time in each scenario. The result shows that the optimal mode share ratio of buses is 40%, with a total evacuation time of 132 min, considering feasible bus fleets in Ulsan Metropolitan City.

An intelligent road transport management system focused on microscopic, real-time traffic signal control is proposed. Referring to the development of those systems in Japan, extensive use of image traffic detectors observing the movement of vehicles inside intersections, and direct data exchange between the signal controllers of neighboring intersections are newly assumed. On site investigation of five intersections in Japan or in Malaysia shows the possibility of effective information provision and simple algorithm for solving heavy congestion, as well as easy installation.

철강산업은 우리나라의 대표적인 국가 전략산업으로 정부의 적극적 정책지원과 민간의 경영노력이 조화를 이루어 1970년대 이후 한 국경제성장의 견인차 역할을 해왔다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 철강산업 원자재의 대부분을 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이며, 이때 수입되는 원자재의 중량이 무겁기 때문에 철강산업은 수송업이라 할 만큼 수송비 부담이 큰 산업이다. 수송의 합리화는 철강산업의 주요한 과제라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철스크랩의 안정적인 공급확보 차원에서 철스크랩 수출입 관련 해상운송의 운송경로별(컨테이너선 vs 벌크선) 경제성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 먼저 국내외 철강산업의 현황에 대해서 살펴보았으며, 연간 세계 조강생산규모와 철스크랩 소비규모, 세계 철스크랩 교역구조를 분석하였다. 또한, 철스크랩 수출입 관련 컨테이너선과 벌크선의 두 운송수단 간의 수송물류비를 비교하기 위해서 "D 사(社)"의 철스크랩 수출입 운송시간과 운송비용 항목을 이용하여 톤당 물리비용을 산정하여 비교하였다.

사용후핵연료 운반용기 표면온도가 $85^{\circ}C$를 초과할 경우, 대인용 보호막(Personnel Barrier) 또는 운반용 덮개(Transport Hood)를 설치하여 운반 중 운반용기 표면에 사람이 직접 접근할 수 없도록 하여야 한다. 운반용 덮개가 설치된 경우, 열적 안전성 평가의 한 가지 경우인 정상조건 열해석 시, 외부환경 경계조건(환경온도 및 외부복사온도)으로 적용하기 위해서 운반용 덮개 내부 열 환경 조건(내부 공기온도 및 운반용 덮개 표면온도)을 계산해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 운반용 덮개 내부 공기온도 및 표면온도를 계산하기 위한 해석적 방법 및 열전달 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였고 CFD 해석 결과와 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

우리나라 연안컨테이너운송 서비스는 1995년 이후 한진과 대한통운이 연안항로에 전용선을 투입하여 운송서비스를 실시하였으나 연안컨테이너 물동량의 감소로 인하여 운항채산성이 악화되어 1999년 대한통운이, 2006년 5월에는 (주)한진이 연안컨테이너운송서비스를 중단하였다. 이로 인하여 국내외 선사들은 우리나라 항만간에 발생하는 환적화물의 처리 및 적시 운송에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 화주측면에서도 연안운송이 아닌 도로운송 등을 이용함으로써 물류비의 증가는 물론 운송지체에 따른 시간적 손실이 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 국내 연안컨테이너운송체계의 현황과 문제점을 파악하여 그 해결방안으로 몬테카를로 분석기법을 통해 컨테이너 연안운송분야에 외국적 외항선박이 투입되었을 경우의 경제적 효과에 대해 분석하였다.

The groundwater has been a major source of water supply throughout the ages. Around 50% of the rural as well as urban population in the developing countries like India depends on groundwater for drinking. The groundwater is also an important source in the agriculture and industrial sector. In many parts of the world, groundwater resources are under increasing threat from growing demands, wasteful use and contamination. A good planning and management practices are needed to face this challenge. A key to the management of groundwater is the ability to model the movement of fluids and contaminants in the subsurface environment. It is obvious that the contaminant source activities cannot be completely eliminated and perhaps our water bodies will continue to serve as receptors of vast quantities of waste. In such a scenario, the goal of water quality protection efforts must necessarily be the control and management of these sources to ensure that released pollutants will be sufficiently attenuated within the region of interest and the quality of water at points of withdrawal is not impaired. In order to understand the behaviour of contaminant transport through different types of media, several researchers are carrying out experimental investigations through laboratory and field studies. Many of them are working on the analytical and numerical studies to simulate the movement of contaminants in soil and groundwater of the contaminant transport. With the advent of high power computers especially, a numerical modelling has gained popularity and is indeed of particular relevance in this regard. This paper provides the state of the art of contaminant transport and reviews the allied research works carried out through experimental investigation or using the analytical solution and numerical method. The review involves the investigation in respect of both, saturated and unsaturated, porous media.
