  • This paper proposes a new concept for an optimal traffic signal cycle method which will reduce the average vehicle waiting time and improve average vehicle speed. Electro sensitive traffic system can extend the traffic cycle when there ar emany vehicles in the road or it can reduce the traffic consider vehicle length, so it can cause oveflow and reduce average vechicel waiting time at the intersection, we propose on optimal traffic cycle with fuzzy ruels and neural network. Computer simulation results prove that reducing the average vehicle waiting time which proposed considering passing vehicle's length for the optimal traffic cycle better than fixe dsignal method dosen't consider vehicle length.

  • PURPOSES: The purpose of this study theoretically reviews vertical grade deriving process in super high speed environment and compares overseas design criteria with Domestic Standardization also draws suitable vertical grade design criteria of high standard for Domestic Circumstances in Korea. METHODS : By researching domestic vehicle registration status, calculating typical vehicle, using Vissim which is traffic simulation program, Speed-distance curve of the vehicle is derived under each design speed condition. Through Speed-distance curve, estimating critical length of grade and considering critical length of grade, maximum longitudinal incline is proposed. RESULTS : The result of domestic vehicle registration status, the typical vehicle for deriving vertical grade is calculated based on gravity horsepower ratio 200 lb/hp. For calculating critical length of grade, according to change speed of uphill entry, speed-distance curve is derived by using Vissim. Critical length of grade is calculated based on design speed 20 km/h criteria which is point of retardation. Estimated critical length of grade is 808 m and based on this result, maximum longitudinal incline was confirmed in the design speed between 130km/h to 140km/h. CONCLUSIONS: The case of the typical vehicle(truck) which is gravity horsepower ratio 200 lb/hp, maximum longitudinal incline 2% is desirable at the super high speed environment in the design speed between 130km/h to 140km/h.

  • Determination of type of a vehicle is being used in various areas such as collecting tolls, collecting statistical traffic data and traffic prognosis. Because most of the vehicle type classification systems depend on vehicle length indirectly or directly, highly reliable automatic vehicle length measurement system is crucial for them. This study makes use of a pencil beam laser rangemeter and devises a mechanical device which rotates the laser rangemeter. The implemented system measures the range between a point and the laser rangemeter then indicates it as a spherical coordinate. We obtain several silhouettes of cross section of the vehicle, the rate of change of the silhouettes, signs of the rates then squares the rates to apply cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) technique to find out where the border is between the vehicle and the background. Using the border and trigonometry, we calculated the length of the vehicle and confirmed that the calculated vehicle length is about 94% of actual length.

  • Nowadays, with increasing many vehicles on restricted roads, the conventional traffic light creates prove startup-delaytime and end-lag-time. The conventional traffic light loses the function of optimal cycle. And so, 30∼45% of conventional traffic cycle is not matched to the present traffic cycle. In this paper proposes electrosensitive traffic light using fuzzy look up table method which will reduce the average vehicle waiting time and improve average vehicle speed. Computer simulation results prove that reducing the average vehicle waiting time which proposed considering passing vehicle length for optimal traffic cycle is better than fixed signal method which doesn't consider vehicle length.

  • This study presents a useful heuristic algorithm to classify vehicle classes using vehicle length information, which is extracted from inductive loop vehicle signatures. A high-speed scanning equipment was used to extract more detailed change of inductance magnitude for individual vehicles. Vehicle detection time and individual vehicle speeds were used to derive vehicle length information that is an input of the proposed algorithm. The spatial and temporal transferability tests were further conducted to evaluate algorithm. The spatial and temporal transferability tests were further conducted to evaluate algorithm performance more systematically. It is expected that the proposed method would be useful for obtaining vehicle classification information from wide-spread existing loop infrastructure.

  • A vehicle classification data is essential for traffic road planning and pavement. In this study, the vehicle height, vehicle criteria for classification applied to measure the height of the car driving has devised a way to install equipment. It is capable of measuring the vehicle height was confirmed to field experiments, the measurement system is obtained to the vehicle length and height data. In this experiment, results showed the accuracy of 88.6% compared to classification data using the discriminant function obtained from video replaying. The height of vehicle applying the classification criteria can be utilized to determine the vehicle class.

  • For the satisfaction of the high engine performance and the low radiated sound pressure simultaneously, the duct length in the vehicle intake/exhaust system should be tuned carefully in the design and development stage of a vehicle. This study was concerned about the effects of intake duct length in clean and dirty sides on the radiated sound emitted from an inlet. An index derived from the existing prediction model of radiated sound pressure was employed to determine which duct was more influential to the radiated sound. Comparing the experimental and predicted results, we found that the change of dirty-side duct length caused a larger change than that in the clean side in the radiated sound level from a tested intake system.

  • In this paper, proper length of neutral section and neutral section system configuration is proposed to minimize accidents if ATO urban railway vehicle stops maintaining the leading vehicles in air section at regular intervals. When considering the minimum voltage sensing of power conversion unit in the urban railway vehicle, the effective length of 14,280[mm] with neutral section can be minimized damage due to high current because the urban railway vehicle is very little present chance compare neutral section with pantograph interval installed on a unit vehicle. In addition, uplift of catenary line and contact wire consider to minimize damage. The result of theoretical review, as the proposed neutral section shorter, isolated neutral section is effective than the integrated neutral section.
