With the electrification of mobility, various electric shuttle carts are produced as short-range transportation, and are used in golf courses, resorts, and amusement parks. The shuttle cart is driven at the low speed of 20km/h, and various passengers from 2 to 14 seats can be applied depending on the purpose of use. However, although the demand for 14-seat electric shuttle carts for short-range transportation is increasing, there are mainly imported, modified, and sold from foreign countries. In this study, the chassis frame for the 14-seat electric shuttle cart was designed, and structural stability was confirmed through CAE analysis. In addition, the frame of the chassis platform with SS400 material was manufactured. The chassis platform with powertrain, steering, braking, and suspension unit was developed and the performance test was confirmed.

본 연구는 강릉 소나무 친환경벌채지 산림식생(벌채지, 산림영향권, 군상잔존구, 수림대, 대조구)을 대상으로 산림군집구조를 구명하고 조림학적 갱신 정보를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 2020년 7월 75개소의 방형구를 Braun-Blanquet 방법으로 식생조사를 실시한 후 중요치, 종다양도, 군락유사도, DCA를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 벌채지와 산림영향권에서 큰기름새의 중요치가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 종다양도는 대조구가 1.733로 가장 높게 나타났고, 벌채지가 1.237로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 군락유사도는 벌채지와 산림영향권이 0.706로 가장 높게 나타났고, 벌채지와 대조구가 0.452로 가장 낮게 나타났으며, Sørensen의 유사계수와 더불어 조사위치별 거리를 정량적으로 확인해 보고자 DCA분석을 실시한 결과 군락유사도와 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 본 연구는 단기적인 연구결과이므로 추후 장기적인 모니터링을 통해 변화되는 친환경벌채지 산림식생에 대한 지속적인 식생 정보의 축적을 통해, 산림영향권이 포함된 친환경벌채지 산림식생의 회복과정에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated effects of seedling age and planting density on early growth performances of Fraxinus rhynchophylla trees. Containerized F. rhynchophylla seedlings (1-year-old and 2-year-old) were planted according to two different planting densities (3,000 and 5,000 trees ha-1) in April of 2017 in Gangneung city, Gangwon province, South Korea. Survival rate, root collar diameter (RCD), and height (H) were measured from 2017 to 2022 (except for 2021). H/RCD (H/D) ratio and stem volume were then calculated. It was found that growth performances of F. rhynchophylla trees were only affected by seedling age. In 2022, mean (±standard error) RCD (mm), H (cm), and stem volume (cm3 tree-1) were the highest for 5,000 trees ha-1 of 2-year-old seedlings (at 30.7, 197.3, and 1001.8, respectively). Initial RCD and H showed relationships with stem volume (in 2017- 2020). As growth space decreased, planted trees initially showed rapid growth due to light competition. In this study, the optimal seedling age and density of planting for F. rhynchophylla were confirmed and important data were secured for preparing a plan for post-reforestation management including operations of weed removal and young tree tending.

Indoor air quality is a critical factor affecting health and quality of life, especially in spaces frequently used by sensitive populations such as adolescents. This study assessed the impact of garden ball installations and electrochemical fertilizer applications on indoor air quality in two youth centers, Center S and Center W, located in Bucheon, South Korea. PM2.5, PM10, and CO2 concentrations were monitored and analyzed based on the presence of garden balls and the use of electrochemical fertilizers. The results showed that spaces with garden balls (w/ G.B.) had significantly lower PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations compared to offices and spaces without garden balls (w/o G.B.). In Center W, the presence of garden balls alone improved air quality, highlighting the potential of vertical greening as a sustainable solution. In Center S, the application of electrochemical fertilizers during the “after + period” (when both garden balls and electrochemical fertilizers were applied) further enhanced particulate matter reduction, demonstrating the fertilizers’ ability to amplify plants’ air-purifying effects. This study provides empirical evidence that garden balls are an eco-friendly option for indoor air quality management. Combining electrochemical fertilizers with garden balls shows promise for enhancing air quality, offering a practical model for multi-use facilities such as youth centers.

Along with the increase in the number of vehicles in circulation, the indoor air quality in automobiles is attracting attention as another possible health concern. However compared to data regarding indoor air quality in other spaces, there are insufficient data on indoor air quality in automobiles. In addition, there is no standard for the evaluation method. In this study, the change in the concentration of particulate matter in the vehicle while driving under real road conditions was analyzed in order to use it as basic data for a method to evaluate vehicle indoor air quality. Through the selection of measurement target materials and test vehicles and the preparation of test methodologies, evaluation was performed on vehicle, route, and HVAC modes. The concentration of particulate matter in the vehicle was the lowest in the RC (In-vehicle recirculation) condition, and it was confirmed that it decreased with time. The highest average concentration was confirmed in the OA (Outside air ventilation) condition, and the concentration change according to the changing HVAC mode was observed in the Auto condition. The concentration of pollutants inside the vehicle showed a significant correlation with factors such as season, external concentration, and HVAC conditions, along with a weak correlation to powertrain type. The results of this study can be used as basic data for developing methods for evaluating vehicle interior air quality in future work.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to derive the factors that contribute to crash severity in mixed traffic situations and suggest policy implications for enhancing traffic safety related to these contributing factors. METHODS : California autonomous vehicle (AV) accident reports and Google Maps based on accident location were used to identify potential accident severity-contributing factors. A decision tree analysis was adopted to derive the crash severity analyses. The 24 candidate variables that affected crash severity were used as the decision tree input variables, with the output being the crash severity categorized as high, medium, and low. RESULTS : The crash severity contributing factor results showed that the number of lanes, speed limit, bus stop, AV traveling straight, AV turning left, rightmost dedicated lane, and nighttime conditions are variables that affect crash severity. In particular, the speed limit was found to be a factor that caused serious crashes, suggesting that the AV driving speed is closely related to crash severity. Therefore, a speed management strategy for mixed traffic situations is proposed to decrease crash severity and enhance traffic safety. CONCLUSIONS : This paper presents policy implications for reducing accidents caused by autonomous and manual vehicle interactions in terms of engineering, education, enforcement, and governance. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a basis for preparing preventive measures against AV-related accidents.

This study investigated the impact of soil-structure interaction on multi-degree-of-freedom structures using the shallow-foundation Winkler model, known as the BNWF model. The model’s period was determined through eigenvalue analysis and compared to results obtained from FEMA’s formula. Results indicated that considering the soil, the structure’s period increased by up to 8.7% compared to the fixed-base model, aligning with FEMA’s calculations. Furthermore, with adequate ground acceleration, roof displacement increased by 3.4% to 3.8%, while base shear decreased by 4% to 10%. However, roof displacement and base shear increased in some earthquake scenarios due to spectral shape effects in regions with extended structural periods. Foundation damping effects, determined through the foundation’s moment-rotation history, grew with higher ground acceleration. This suggests that accounting for period elongation and foundation damping can enhance the seismic design of multi-degree-of-freedom structures.

In this paper, a shot peening was conducted to improve fatigue life by increasing resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of STS316 steel, which is widely used in hydrogen environments. First, considering the efficiency of the shot peening process, an effective Almen intensity was selected and applied to the specimen surface. Second, the specimen was hydrogen embrittled at room temperature (25°C) and high temperature (60°C) using electrochemical hydrogen charging. Third, the mechanical property tests (tensile, hardness, roughness) and 4-points rotational bending fatigue tests of the specimen were performed. All mechanical properties decreased, but the fatigue life of the shot peened specimens improved at the both temperature conditions. Ultimately, the fatigue characteristics against hydrogen embrittlement of STS316 steel, which is used in various industrial fields, are improved through an effective shot peening process, and the effect is believed to be very significant.

This study aimed to provide ecological information by identifying the stand characteristics of Larix kaempferi forest vegetation (deforestation, forest influence, patch, forest) for aggregated retention harvest in Mt. Nambyeongsan, Pyeongchang- Gun. Data were collected using the Braun-Blanquet vegetation survey method from July 2020, with 54 quadrats analyzed for importance value, species diversity, similarity index, and detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). The results showed that vine species had a higher importance value in the deforestation area and forest influence area. Forest regions had the highest species diversity (2.419), while the forest influence area had the lowest (2.171). The similarity index was highest between the forest region and patch area (0.723), and lowest between the patch area and forest influence area (0.658), which was consistent with the DCA results. In conclusion, although species diversity temporarily showed higher values in the initial stage after aggregated retention harvest, it was difficult to assign ecologically specific meanings to these values. Long-term monitoring is therefore necessary to accumulate ecological information on aggregated retention harvests.

The objective of this study is to analyze the indoor air quality of multi-use facilities using an IoT-based monitoring and control system. Thise study aims to identify effective management strategies and propose policy improvements. This research focused on 50 multi-use facilities, including daycare centers, medical centers, and libraries. Data on PM10, PM2.5, CO2, temperature, and humidity were collected 24 hours a day from June 2019 to April 2020. The analysis included variations in indoor air quality by season, hour, and day of the week (including both weekdays and weekends). Additionally, ways to utilize IoT monitoring systems using big data were propsed. The reliability analysis of the IoT monitoring network showed an accuracy of 81.0% for PM10 and 76.1% for PM2.5. Indoor air quality varied significantly by season, with higher particulate matter levels in winter and spring, and slightly higher levels on weekends compared to weekdays. There was a positive correlation found between outdoor and indoor pollutant levels. Indoor air quality management in multi-use facilities requires season-specific strategies, particularly during the winter and spring. Furhtermore, enhanced management is necessary during weekends due to higher pollutant levels.

Phayathonzu temple in Myanmar was made of masonry bricks, and so it was vulnerable to lateral load such as earthquake. Especially, it has many difficulties in structural modeling and dynamic analysis because the discontinuous characteristics of masonry structure should be considered. So, it is necessary to provide the seismic performance evaluation technology through the inelastic dynamic modeling and analysis under earthquake loads for the safety security of masonry brick temple. Therefore, this study analyzes the seismic behavior characteristics and evaluates the seismic performance for the 479 structure with many cracks and deformations. Through the evaluation results, we found out the structural weak parts on earthquake loads.

1990년대 이후 급증한 탄소 배출량은 지구 온도 상승을 가속화하고 있으며, 도시는 온실가스 배출의 주요 원인으로서 약 70%의 배출량을 차지하고 있다. 이에 탄소중립 노력이 중요해지면서 도시 내 유일 한 탄소흡수원인 녹색공간의 효과적인 활용이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 탄소중립 녹색공간 평가를 위한 지표와 산정기준을 개발하기 위해 사례분석과 델파이 기법을 활용한 전문가 자문을 진행하였다. 그 결 과 총 45개의 평가지표가 구축되었으며, 5개 근린공원에 적용하여 지표의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 사례평가 결과 SCOPE 1, 2단계에 속하는 바이오매스 격리, 저탄소 공법 및 자재사용, 원형보존 유형이 탄소중립에 기여하는 정도가 높았으며, 탄소 특화공원이 일반 근린공원에 비해 강점을 보이는 것을 확 인하였다. 본 연구는 탄소중립 녹색공간 인증제 실현을 위한 도구를 제공하고 평가 프레임워크 구축에 중요한 기반 마련에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

자율주행차 상용화 시대를 가속화하기 위해 실제 도로에서 다양한 실증 프로젝트를 수행중이다. 그러나, 자율주행차와 비자율주행차 가 혼재된 혼합교통류 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 문제의 원인을 파악하고 선제적인 안전대책을 강구하는 노력은 미비한 실정이 다. 특히, 기존 비자율주행차 측면의 주행안전성을 고려하여 설계된 도로 시설 특성으로 인해 자율주행차의 주행안전성이 저하될 수 있다. 또한 기존 비자율주행차의 주행안전성을 저해함과 동시에 자율주행차의 주행안전성도 저해하는 도로 시설 특성이 존재할 가능 성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 상암 자율주행차 시범운행지구에서 수집된 automated vehicle data (AVD)를 활용하여 자율주행차와 비자율주 행차의 주행안전성을 평가하고 도로 시설 특성 측면의 영향요인을 도출하였다. 주행모드별 주행안전성 평가를 위해 autonomous emergency braking system (AEBS) 위험 이벤트 기반의 driving risk index (DRI)를 개발하였다. 구간별 DRI가 발생하지 않은 구간을 very good으로 정의하고 발생한 구간을 25 percentile로 구분하여 good, moderate, poor, very poor 등급으로 정의하여 총 5개의 등급으로 구분 하였다. 또한, 현장조사을 수행함으로써 구간별 포함되어 있는 도로 시설 특성을 수집하였다. 주행모드별 주행안전성에 영향을 미치는 도로 시설 특성을 도출하기 위해 이항로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 종속 변수의 경우 DRI 기반 안전등급 중 poor 이상 등급을 1, 그 외의 등급을 0으로 정의하였으며, 독립변수의 경우 현장조사를 통해 수집된 교차로 유형, 차로 수, 차로 폭, 추가차로 유무, 차량 진행방향, 불법주정차 유무, 버스정류장 유무, 자전거 차로 유무에 대해 명목형 변수로 설정하였다. 도출된 주행모드별 주행안전성 영 향 요인을 검토하고 향후 자율주행차 시대에 대비하여 선제적으로 개선이 요구되는 도로 시설 특성을 도출하고 도로 운영성 및 효율 성, 안전성 측면의 개선 방향을 제시하였다.

전 세계적으로 실도로에서의 자율주행차 안전성능을 검증하고 자율주행 시스템 기술의 개발을 위해 다양한 실증을 수행하고 있다. 미국의 경우 캘리포니아, 오하이오, 애리조나 등 다양한 주에서 자율주행차의 실도로 테스트를 진행하고 있으며, 독일의 경우 페가수 스 및 이매진 프로젝트 등을 통해 자율주행 성능 및 협력 운행 테스트를 수행하였다. 그러나, 자율주행차의 주행 성능 측면의 평가에 국한되어 실증이 진행되고 있다는 한계가 존재한다. 실도로 환경에서 자율주행차는 비자율주행차, 보행자 및 자전거 등과 상호작용하 며, 다양한 도로 기하구조에서 주행안전성 저하 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 혼재교통상황에서 자율주행차의 주행 안전성을 저하시키는 도로 기하구조를 도출하였다. 또한, 캘리포니아 Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)에서 제시한 자율주행차 관련 사고자료 검토를 통해 유사한 도로 기하구조에서 발생할 수 있는 사고 유형을 검토함으로써 선제적인 대안을 마련하고자 한다. 시뮬 레이션 분석을 위한 자율주행차 거동구현의 경우 real-world automated vehicle data (AVD) 기반 주행행태 분석을 통해 VISSIM 파라미 터를 조정하였다. 위험구간 도출을 위해 평가지표를 선정하고 주행안전성 분석을 수행하였으며, 위험 구간의 도로 기하구조의 특성을 도출하였다. 마지막으로 위험구간의 도로 기하구조와 유사한 구간에서 발생한 실제 자율주행차 관련 사고 보고서를 검토함으로써 본 연구에서 도출된 위험구간의 도로 기하구조에서 발생할 수 있는 잠재적 사고 원인을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 향후 자율주 행차의 실도로 도입을 위해 선제적인 대책을 마려하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 나아가 자율주행차 안전성 향상을 위한 경고 정보 서비스 개발, 정보 제공 인프라 설치 우선순위, 도로 기하구조 개선 사업에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
