A smart hollow cylinder consisting of a host functionally graded elastic core layer and two surface homogeneous piezoelectric layers is presented in this paper. The bonding between the layers can be perfect or imperfect, depending on the parameters taken in the general linear spring-layer interface model. The effect of such weak interfaces on free vibration and steady-state response is then investigated. Piezoelectric layers at inner and outer surfaces are polarized axially or radially and act as a sensor and an actuator respectively. For a simply supported condition, the state equations with non-constant coefficients are obtained directly from the formulations of elasticity/piezoelasticity. An approximate laminated model is then introduced for the sake of solving the state equations conveniently. It is further assumed that the hollow cylinder is embedded in an elastic medium and is simultaneously filled with compressible fluid. The interaction between the structure and its surrounding media is taken into account. Numerical examples are finally given with discussions on the effect of some related parameters.

The dynamic behaviors of the bridge structures have great effects on the comfortability and safety of running high-speed trains, which can also reflect the structural degradation. This paper aims to reveal the characteristics of the dynamic behaviors induced by train loadings for a combined highway and railway bridge. Monitoring-based analysis of the acceleration and dynamic displacement of the bridge girder is carried out. The effects of train loadings on the vertical acceleration of the bridge girder are analyzed; the spatial variability of the train-induced lateral girder displacement is studied; and statistical analysis has been performed for the daily extreme values of the train-induced girder deflections. It is revealed that there are great time and spatial variabilities for the acceleration induced by train loadings for the combined highway and railway cable-stayed bridge. The daily extreme values of the train-induced girder deflections can be well fitted by the general extreme value distribution.

In connected vehicles, drivers are exposed to attacks when they communicate with unauthenticated peers. This occurs when a vehicle relies on outdated information resulting in interactions with vehicles that have expired or revoked certificates claiming to be legitimate nodes. Vehicles must frequently receive or query an updated revoked certificate list to avoid communicating with suspicious vehicles to protect themselves. In this paper, we propose a scheme that works on a highway divided into clusters and managed by roadside units (RSUs) to ensure authenticity and preserve hidden identities of vehicles. The proposed scheme includes four main components each of which plays a major role. In the top hierarchy, we have the authority that is responsible for issuing long-term certificates and managing and controlling all descending intermediate authorities, which cover specific regions (e.g., RSUs) and provide vehicles with short-term pseudonyms certificates to hide their identity and avoid traceability. Every certificate-related operation is recorded in a blockchain storage to ensure integrity and transparency. To regulate communication among nodes, security managers were introduced to enable authorization and access right during communications. Together, these components provide vehicles with an immediately revoked certificate list through RSUs, which are provided with publish/subscribe brokers that enable a controlled messaging infrastructure. We validate our work in a simulated smart highway environment comprising interconnected RSUs to demonstrate our technique's effectiveness.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as a novel solution to many of the challenges of structural health monitoring (SHM) in civil engineering structures. While research projects using WSNs are ongoing worldwide, implementations of WSNs on full-scale structures are limited. In this study, a WSN is deployed on a full-scale 17.3m-long, 11-bay highway sign support structure to investigate the ability to use vibration response data to detect damage induced in the structure. A multi-level damage detection strategy is employed for this structure: the Angle-between-String-and-Horizon (ASH) flexibility-based algorithm as the Level I and the Axial Strain (AS) flexibility-based algorithm as the Level II. For the proposed multi-level damage detection strategy, a coarse resolution Level I damage detection will be conducted first to detect the damaged region(s). Subsequently, a fine resolution Level II damage detection will be conducted in the damaged region(s) to locate the damaged element(s). Several damage cases are created on the full-scale highway sign support structure to validate the multi-level detection strategy. The multi-level damage detection strategy is shown to be successful in detecting damage in the structure in these cases.

Despite the movement of safe traffic by the Korean government to reduce deaths in traffic accidents, the casualties increase year by year. In particular, more and more accidents and casualties are reported from car collisions from the back of the vehicles parked for managing traffic accidents on the road, cleaning main roads and medial strips, repairing roads. In order to response to these accidents, the government should take protective measures for road users. In the last decade, seventy-one cases have been reported to occur during highway repair and maintenance. As a result, eight persons were killed and seventy-six were injured, showing the high death rate of 11.3 percent. Therefore, it seems urgent to take some actions against it. The United States and European countries legislate that vehicles of road repair and maintenance should be mandatorily equipped with shock absorber at the back. Korea, however, does not have such legislative measures, which are needed at this time to protect workers on the road. This study compares the performance of the traditional shock absorber for road maintenance vehicles with that of the rear safety guard using air bag, manufactured in accordance with related laws in Korea. Based on the results of the 60km/h rear collision test, this paper proposes improvements in related laws and regulations in an attempt to reduce casualties.

Railroad bridges form an integral part of railway infrastructure throughout the world. To accommodate increased axel loads, train speeds, and greater volumes of freight traffic, in the presence of changing structural conditions, the load carrying capacity and serviceability of existing bridges must be assessed. One way is through system identification of in-service railroad bridges. To dates, numerous researchers have reported system identification studies with a large portion of their applications being highway bridges. Moreover, most of those models are calibrated at global level, while only a few studies applications have used globally and locally calibrated model. To reach the global and local calibration, both ambient vibration tests and controlled tests need to be performed. Thus, an approach for system identification of a railroad bridge that can be used to assess the bridge in global and local sense is needed. This study presents system identification of a railroad bridge using free vibration data. Wireless smart sensors are employed and provided a portable way to collect data that is then used to determine bridge frequencies and mode shapes. Subsequently, a calibrated finite element model of the bridge provides global and local information of the bridge. The ability of the model to simulate local responses is validated by comparing predicted and measured strain in one of the diagonal members of the truss. This research demonstrates the potential of using measured field data to perform model calibration in a simple and practical manner that will lead to better understanding the state of railroad bridges.

최근 스마트폰 내비게이션의 그룹주행, 위치공유 등 다양한 최신 기능을 사용하기 위해서 스마트폰 내비게이션을 이용하는 사람들이 많이 증가하였다. 하지만, 스마트폰에는 다양한 목적을 가진 많은 앱이 설치되기 때문에 하나의 앱이 사용할 수 있는 저장 공간이 한정적이다. 그래서 내비게이션 전용기기에서 맵매칭을 수행하기 위해 사용되는 용량이 큰 도로네트워크 데이터를 스마트폰에 저장할 수 없기 때문에 맵매칭을 할 수 없다. 또한, 외부 GPS 장치를 사용하지 않는 스마트폰의 경우 내비게이션 전용기기에 비해 GPS 위치측위가 부정확하다. 이러한 문제점으로 스마트폰 내비게이션은 정확한 위치 안내를 하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 스마트폰 내비게이션에서 정확한 위치 안내를 위해 내비게이션 전용기기에서 사용되는 도로네트워크 정보를 새로운 도로네트워크 포맷 설계 및 변환으로 용량을 감소시키고 운전자의 운전 패턴 데이터를 데이터베이스화하여 기존 내비게이션 전용기기 맵매칭 보다 정확한 맵매칭을 하는 것이다. 결과적으로 맵매칭이 어려운 여러 도로가 만나는 교차로, 고속도로에 인접한 좁은 도로, GPS 오차가 많이 발생하는 빌딩 숲 등에서 내비게이션 전용기기와 비교분석을 통해 스마트폰에서 기존 내비게이션 전용기기보다 80% 이상의 작은 저장 공간의 사용으로 보다 정확한 맵매칭이 가능했으며 향후 내비게이션뿐만 아니라 GPS 위치측위와 지도를 사용하는 다양한 앱에서 더욱 정확한 위치기반 서비스가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Wireless structural monitoring systems consist of networks of wireless sensors installed to record the loading environment and corresponding response of large-scale civil structures. Wireless monitoring systems are desirable because they eliminate the need for costly and labor intensive installation of coaxial wiring in a structure. However, another advantageous characteristic of wireless sensors is their installation modularity. For example, wireless sensors can be easily and rapidly removed and reinstalled in new locations on a structure if the need arises. In this study, the reconfiguration of a rapid-to-deploy wireless structural monitoring system is proposed for monitoring short- and medium-span highway bridges. Narada wireless sensor nodes using power amplified radios are adopted to achieve long communication ranges. A network of twenty Narada wireless sensors is installed on the Yeondae Bridge (Korea) to measure the global response of the bridge to controlled truck loadings. To attain acceleration measurements in a large number of locations on the bridge, the wireless monitoring system is installed three times, with each installation concentrating sensors in one localized area of the bridge. Analysis of measurement data after installation of the three monitoring system configurations leads to reliable estimation of the bridge modal properties, including mode shapes.

본 연구는 스마트하이웨이 같은 첨단 도로 인프라가 구축이 되어 WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environments) 기술을 이용하여 차량의 정보를 수집하는 서비스를 시행할 경우, 차량데이터를 수집하는 전송간격의 결정 문제를 다루고 있다. 여기서 차량데이터는 위치정보이외에 속도, RPM, 연료소모량 및 DTC 코드와 같은 차량안전데이터를 포함하는 OBD II와 연계된 차량수집장치로부터 매초별로 수집될 수 있는 데이터이다. 이러한 차량데이터는 기존의 교통소통정보로 가공 및 제공이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 다각화된 서비스가 가능한 컨텐츠로 활용이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 실시간 차량데이터를 일상적인 상황에서 수집될 경우 교통조건의 변화에 따라 전송간격(교통정보 수집주기)를 변경하는 방법으로 공간적, 시간적 교통상황을 고려하는 모델을 제안한다. 연구에서는 이러한 전송간격 결정모델에 대하여 교통상황묘사가 가능한 VISSIM이라는 미시적 교통시뮬레이터를 기반으로 시나리오를 약 32가지 설정하여 전송간격, 통신전송량, 통신간격, 통신수 및 BPS 등에 대하여 확인하여 보았다. 그 결과 2차로의 1km 고속도로 구간에서는 차량데이터를 2회 정도 수집할 경우에 통신전송량의 특성상 가장 적절할 것으로 확인되었다. 향후 다양한 도로상의 무선 통신 기술이 도입될 경우 교통 및 통신기술 특성을 동시적으로 고려한 전송간격 모델을 제시한 본 연구는 그 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단되는 바이다.
