The noise prediction model, KRON-2006, in South Korea has been developed for obtaining the average noise level. The model is based on an outdoor sound propagation method based on ISO9613 and ASJ Model-1998 and supports the analysis of the linear noise source, such as highway, for obtaining Leq. Because of that, the model can't obtain Lmax, Lmin from the time series noise profile based on traffic at every moment. In order to address this problem, the real time noise prediction model based on traffic simulation using GIS model and algorithm is proposed. It can predict the vehicle point noise level based on vehicle type, speed generated from traffic simulation by using headway and obtain Lmax, Lmin as integrating the noise profile generated from it at every moment. An evalution of the noise prediciton model using field measurements finds good agreement between predicted and measured noise levels at 1m, 8m, 15m from curb of the near side lane.

In spatial databases, R-tree is one of the most widely used indexing structures and many variants have been proposed for its performance improvement. Among these variants, Hilbert R-tree is a representative method using Hilbert curve to process large amounts of data without high cost split techniques to construct the R-tree. This Hilbert R-tree, however, is hardly applicable to large-scale applications in practice mainly due to high pre-processing costs and slow bulk-load time. To overcome the limitations of Hilbert R-tree, we propose a novel approach for parallelizing Hilbert mapping and thus accelerating bulk-loading of Hilbert R-tree on GPU memory. Hilbert R-tree based on GPU improves bulk-loading performance by applying the inversed-cell method and exploiting parallelism for packing the R-tree structure. Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme is up to 45 times faster compared to the traditional CPU-based bulk-loading schemes.

If the location information of a great number of cars kept for business with telematics terminals is acquired and managed efficiently, this information forms the foundation for controlling cars and traffic flows. The studies on the pure spatial indices have focused on the efficient retrievals. However, the acquisition and management of the terminal location of moving objects are more important than the efficiency of the query processing in the moving object databases. Therefore, it will be need to adopt parallel processing system for the moving object databases which should maintain the object's current location as precise as possible. This paper proposes a location management system using CDMA communications of telematics terminals. More precisely, we propose a architecture of spatial indexing mobile objects using multiple processors, and also newly propose a method of splitting buckets using the properties of moving objects in order to minimize the number of database updates. We also propose a acquisition method for gathering the location information of moving objects and passing the information of the bucket extents in order to reduce the amount of passed messages between processors.

In this paper, a power-aware query processing using optimized distributed R-tree in a sensor network is proposed. The proposed technique is a new approach for processing range queries that uses spatial indexing. Range queries are most often encountered under sensor networks for computing aggregation values. The previous work just addressed the importance but didn't provide any efficient technique for processing range queries. A query processing scheme is thus designed for efficiently processing them. Each node in the sensor network has the MBR of the region where its children nodes and the node itself are located. The range query is evaluated over the region which intersects the geographic location of sensors. It ensures the maximum power savings by avoiding the communication of nodes not participating over the evaluation of the query.

In order to index exactly moving objects(vehicle, mobile phone, PDA, etc.) in the mobile database, continuous updates of their locations are inevitable as well as time-consuming. The studies of pure spatial indices have focused on the efficient retrievals. However, the acquisition and management of the terminal Location of moving objects are more important than the efficiency of the query processing in the moving object databases. Therefore, it will be need to adopt parallel processing system for the moving object databases which should maintain the object's current location as precise as possible. This paper proposes a architecture of spatial indexing mobile objects using multiple processors. More precisely, we newly propose a method of splitting buckets using the properties of moving objects in order to minimize the number of database updates. We also propose a acquisition method for gathering the location information of moving objects and passing the information of the bucket extents in order to reduce the amount of passed messages between processors.

Recently, flood has been increased due to climate change resulting in numerous damages for humans and properties. The main objective of this study was to suggest a methodology to estimate the flood vulnerability using Potential Flood Damage (PFD) concept. To evaluate the PFD at a spatial resolutions of city/county units, the 19 representative evaluation indexing factors were carefully selected for the three categories such as damage target ($F_{DT}$), damage potential ($F_{DP}$) and prevention ability ($F_{PA}$). The three flood vulnerability indices of $F_{DT}$, $F_{DP}$ and $F_{PA}$ were applied for the 162 cities and counties in Korea for the pattern classification of potential flood damage. It is expected that the supposed PFD can be utilized as the useful flood vulnerability index for more rational and practical protection plans against flood damage.

Climate change is intensifying storms and floods around the world. Where nature has been destroyed by development, communities are at risk from these intensified climate patterns. This study was to suggest a methodology for estimating flood vulnerability using Potential Flood Damage(PFD) concept and classify city/county about Potential Flood Damage(PFD) using various typology techniques. To evaluate the PFD at a spatial resolutions of city/county units, the 20 representative evaluation indexing factors were carefully selected for the three categories such as damage target(FDT), damage potential(FDP) and prevention ability(FPA). The three flood vulnerability indices of FDT, FDP and FPA were applied for the 167 cities and counties in Korea for the pattern classification of potential flood damage. Potential Flood Damage(PFD) was classified by using grouping analysis, decision tree analysis, and cluster analysis, and characteristics of each type were analyzed. It is expected that the suggested PFD can be utilized as the useful flood vulnerability index for more rational and practical risk management plans against flood damage.

시간이 흐름에 따라 연속적으로 위치를 변경하는 객체를 이동 객체(Moving Objects)라고 한다. 이러한 이동 객체의 대용량 위치 정보를 효율적으로 검색하기 위하여 색인이 필요하며, 대표적인 색인으로 TB-tree가 제안되었다. 그러나 전통적인 R-tree 기반의 TB-tree는 엄격한 궤적 보존 정책에 의해 레코드가 삽입될 때마다 해당 레코드의 선행자(predecessor)를 포함하는 단말 노드를 검색해야 하며, 레코드 삽입으로 인한 단말 노드 MBB의 변경을 중간 노드들의 MBB에도 반영해야 하는 갱신 부하를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대용량 이동 객체 궤적 정보의 효율적인 색인을 위한 최소 전파 TB-tree를 제안한다. 본 기법은 앞으로 삽입될 이동 객체의 궤적을 포함하는 예상된 MBB(EMBB: Expected Minimum Bounding Box)를 트리에 먼저 반영한 후 레코드가 삽입될 때마다 중간 노드의 MBB를 갱신하지 않고, 객체가 EMBB을 벗어났을 때 중간 노드의 MBB를 조정하여 TB-tree의 MBB조정 횟수를 줄이고, 또한 TB-tree에 별도의 테이블 구조를 둠으로써 레코드 삽입을 위한 단말 노드 검색 비용을 줄여 전체적인 TB-tree의 갱신 비용을 감소시킨다.

최근 무선/이동 통신 기술과 GPS 기술의 발달은 휴대폰을 소지하고 이동하는 사람이나 GPS 수신기를 탑재한 차량과 같은 이동객체의 위치 정보와 관련된 서비스의 제공을 가능하게 하였다. 이러한 환경에서 연속적으로 변경되는 이동객체의 위치 정보는 데이터베이스에 빈번한 갱신 연산을 요구하게 되고, 이는 전체 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 R-Tree와 같은 공간색인 구조를 확장하여 갱신 효율을 높이기 위한 연구가 진행되어 왔지만, 시스템의 전체 성능은 오히려 저하되는 문제를 가져왔다. 이 논문에서는 이동객체의 질의 처리 성능뿐만 아니라 객체의 빈번한 위치 갱신을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 방법으로 고정 그리드와 R-Tree를 혼합한 형태의 색인 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 색인 기법은 R-Tree에서 색인의 재조직화로 인해 갱신 성능이 저하되는 문제를 해결하기 위하여 셀 기반 색인 기법인 고정 그리드를 이용하여 이동객체의 위치 정보를 저장하고, 고정 그리드에서 객체의 편중 분포로 인한 오버플로 문제를 처리하기 위하여 오버플로가 발생한 각각의 셀들을 R-Tree로 관리한다. 또한, 객체의 밀도가 낮은 셀들을 하나의 버켓으로 공유하여 관리함으로써 저장 공간을 효율적으로 활용한다. 제안된 방법을 다양한 평가 요소를 통해 실험한 결과, 기존의 R-Tree보다 뛰어난 갱신 성능을 보였으며, 질의 처리에 대해서도 성능이 향상되었음을 보였다.

최근 프로세서와 메인 메모리간의 속도 차이가 커지면서 캐시 실패가 메인 메모리에서 동작하는 R-Tree의 성능 저하에 미치는 영향이 커짐에 따라 캐시 실패를 줄여 캐시 성능을 개선하려는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 일반적인 캐시 성능 개선 방법은 엔트리 정보를 줄설 노드에 더 않은 엔트리를 저장함으로써 펜-아웃(fanout)을 증가시키고 캐시 실패를 최소화한다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 엔트리 정보를 줄이는 추가 연산으로 인해 갱신 성능이 떨어지고, 노드간 이동시 발생하는 캐시 실패는 여전히 해결하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 이를 해결하기 위해 선반입(prefetching)을 적용한 확장된 R-Tree인 PR-tree(Prefetching R-Tree)를 제안하고 평가하였다 PR-Tree는 펜-아웃을 증가시키고 트리의 높이를 낮추기 위해 실제 캐시 라인의 정수 배인 노드를 생성하고, 선반입을 적용하여 노드 캐시로 인한 메모리 지연을 최소화하였다. 또한 접근할 노드를 선반입하여 노드간 이동시 발생하는 캐시 실패도 최소화하였다. PR-Tree는 실험에서 R-Tree보다 검색 연산에서 최대 38%의 성능 향상을 보였으며, 갱신 연산에서도 최대 30%의 성능 향상을 보였다.
