When traveling on real road network, it generally takes less travel time in a near straight path than a zig-zaged path with same source and destination. In order to making a left(right/u) turn, the delay should be required to decrease the speed. The traffic signal waiting time of left(right/u) turn is probably longer than straight driving. In this paper, we revise the previous hierarchical path finding algorithm to reduce the number of turns. The algorithm proposed in this paper complied with a hierarchical $A^*$ algorithm, but has a distinct strategy for edge weight. We define an edge that makes a turn as a turn-edge and give the turn-edge lower weight to maintain the straightness of the whole path.

The emphasis is put on the detailed knowledge on manoeuvring characteristic for the safe navigation while avoiding terrible collision between ships and on the guideline to the design and operation of the ship-waterway system The numerical simulation of manoeuvring motion was carried out parametrically for different ship types, ship-velocity ratios, separation and stagger between ships. As for the calculation parameters, the ratios of velocity difference (hereafter, $U_2$/$U_1$ ) between two ships were considered as 0.6, 1.2, 1.5. From the inspection of this investigation, it indicates the following result. Considering the interaction force only as parameter, the lateral distance between ships is necessarily required for the ship-velocity ratio of 1.2, compared to the cases of 0.6 and 1.5 regardless of the ship types. Furthermore, regardless of the ship-velocity ratio, an overtaking and overtaken vessel can be manoeuvred safely without deviating from the original course under the following conditions: the lateral distance between two vessels is approximately kept at 0.5 times of ship-length and 5 through 10. degrees of range in maximum rudder angle. The manoeuvring characteristic based on this investigation will be very useful for keeping the safety of navigation from the practical point of ships design and traffic control in restricted waterways.

With the proliferation of advanced wireless network and sensor technologies, smart devices under USN(ubiquitous sensor network) environment are capable of collecting context information such as temperature, humidity, weight, and location about objects at real time. Therefore, applications must be able to analyze collected information and notify useful information to wanted users timely. This service can be realized by implementing an event-based middleware. In the middleware, event messages collected from physical environment will be filtered according to profiles that users define in advance and the result will be sent to the interested users. In this paper, we present XML-based event model, ECA-based profile model, and the architecture of an event-based middleware suitable to USN environment. We will also model and describe them using the examples of logistics area. By implementing the system based on the design above, the middleware enable applications or users to easily access to physical sources. The proposed middleware can also apply to not only logistics area but also other various areas under USN environment such as intelligent traffic control system, national disaster management system and u-medical system.

In this paper, we analyzed the performance for CATV/LAN added priority problem. Upstrea nm channel which analyzed very deeply for CATV/LAN network have the preferential access property depending upon that positionand unidirectional property. To solve that fairness problem and priority, we propose the CSMA-CD/U/P-P protocolthat transmit as P1 probability if data packets happen. We assumed 2-Class priority(high, low). As the analyticresult and simulation, we obtained P1, value and its average delay time under priority problem assumed twoscenarios. Also, we get its variance value and queue length. Especially, the mean delay time increases nearer thanposition from H/E

There is a trend toward the world's manufacturing sites moving to East Asia. After manufacture, these products are transported to the advanced nations for their consumption demands. Among such advanced nations, the U.S.A. has the largest demand, and then Japan and European countries follow. It should be noted that the infrastructures of the Asian districts used for the production sites are rather limited, and the volume of products transported from these districts of Asia to the U.S.A is becoming tremendously large. This situation is causing very serious traffic problems. New products are required to be transported swiftly by air. Once the consumption and market demands are stable however, the products should be sent rather slowly, but in larger amounts. However, the airports of China are quite restricted in capacity, while the transportation volume is becoming large. As a result, transportation cost and the time required for transportation are increasing. Now, a third method is appearing. This is the so-called Sea and Air transportation. The cost and time in transit of this mode take mean positions between Air and Ocean services. At present there exists no well-thought-out strategy for how to allocate these three methods of transportation. This paper is an attempt to theoretically describe this mechanism and to discover the optimal way to allocate the three modes. For this purpose, several mathematical properties of value and cost of the products are defined, and on this basis a simulation of the transportation is established.

In order to prepare future green hospital architecture authentication system, this study is a comparative year report to Korean, the United States, Japanese, British, Canadian and Australian green building authentication systems. Also, the United States and Australian Green hospital authentication systems were examined, and the authentication items of hospitals were compared with those of civil architecture. Though the examination and analysis, the portion of indoor environmental quality section commonly shows the average of 20.7 percent in all 6 countries. Especially, IAQ(Indoor Air Quality) among inside IEQ(Indoor Environment Quality) is overwhelmingly much treated in Korea, the U.S.A, Canada and Australia. In Japan, heat, light and sound are the important factors for authentication evaluation, while in the U.K light are more emphasized for the authentication. 'LEED for Healthcare' as a hospital evaluation authentication system subdivided currently most. The system includes the detailed and extensive evaluation items ranging from hospital management, traffic, emission, water resources utilization to integrated design and furnishing. These overseas systems should be carefully investigated, researched and analyzed for an appropriate improvement of domestic green hospital authentication system. Also the current evaluation method of IEQ section of Korean GBCC needs to be modified. That's why the method puts too much importance on IAQ in IEQ section.

A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird, often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans and maps. It can be used under severe weather conditions when visibility is poor. Under low visibility environments, drivers can communicate each other using V2V communication to get each vehicle's status to prevent collision and other accidents. Ubiquitous transportation sensor networks(u-TSN) and its application are emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm to provide reliable and comfortable transportatione services. The ever-growing u-TSN and its application will provide an intelligent and ubiquitous communication and network technology for traffic safety area.

Chronic pain and herniated disk is a common disease that 80% of adults are experienced. There diseases rates of caused by the physical shock, such as the traffic accident, and the accidental fall is about 10%. And the most of these diseases is caused by having habitual incorrect position. People know that incorrect position would cause to accumulate continuous stress, but it is not easy to correct position. Because it does not recognize incorrect position repeated habitual consequently. This system collects data of user position after sensors that could measure position attach on use and presumes correct position used by position presumption algorithms. Its system purpose is continuing incorrect position could be aware to user and lead to change to correct position to prevent habituation of incorrect position. If habitual of correct position continues through accurate measurement and repeating cognitive learning, it would help for children and chronic patience.

Wearable computer systems can use the wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) that refers to USB technology that is merged with WiMedia PHY/MAC technical specifications. In this paper, we focus on an integrated system of the wireless USB over the IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) for wireless wearable computer systems supporting U-health services. And a communication structure that performs the hibernation for low power consumption is proposed for WUSB over IEEE 802.15.6 hierarchical protocol. In the proposed hibernation mechanisms, WUSB communications are permitted at each m-periodic inactive periods of WBAN superframes by using the WBAN information of Wakeup Period and Wakeup Phase message fields. In our performance evaluations, performances according to amount of WUSB traffic and Wakeup Periods are analyzed respectively to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed hibernation structure in WUSB over IEEE 802.15.6.
