PURPOSES : This study aims to evaluate the traffic safety by collecting and analyzing vehicle speed and conflict frequency data based on the provision of information to vehicle drivers and crosswalk pedestrians under right-turn conditions. METHODS : Two evaluation scales, namely speed of access and number of conflicts, were used to quantitatively evaluate the effects of the new information provision method. Data on access speed and the number of conflicts according to information provision were collected and compared before and after information provision. RESULTS : Analysis of the pre- and post-spot speed reduction rates revealed an overall reduction rate of 32.6%. The conflict ratio was 81.0% before information provision but increased to 83.3% after information provision. CONCLUSIONS : When LED display information was provided, the effect of decelerating the approaching speed of vehicles in the rightturn torpedo section was statistically significant, but the reduction in the conflict ratio was not. Factors such as intersection status, traffic volume and vehicle speed, affect the approach speed and increase or decrease the number of conflicts. Regardless of whether information is provided, the average compliance rate of the Road Traffic Act when turning right in the channelization area is 16.7%, which is significantly different from the average compliance rate of 48.4% immediately after the Road Traffic Act was revised in July 2022.

PURPOSES : This study predicts the concentration of suspended road dust (PM10) by analyzing meteorological, traffic, and atmospheric environmental data acquired at various angles, and attains a comprehensive understanding of the influencing factors of suspended road dust. METHODS : Experimental field methods were applied and statistical analyses were conducted. Field experiments were conducted using a vehicle-based measurement of suspended dust (PM10) to measure its concentration at the measurement site while maintaining a constant driving vehicular speed. Statistical analysis demonstrated the effects of the concentration of suspended dust on changes in meteorological and environmental factors and lanes per traffic volume at the time of measurement. Finally, a multiple linear regression model was applied to identify the factors which affected the generation of suspended dust. RESULTS : The analysis of suspended road dust concentrations according to the lanes per traffic volume and environmental factors showed that suspended dust concentrations increased at increasing driving speeds. In addition, the background concentration at the monitoring station was higher at high-wind speeds (>3.0 m/s) than at low-wind speeds (<1.6 m/s), but the suspended dust concentrations were higher at low-wind speeds. During the temperature inversion period from evening to morning, the suspended effects of traffic and meteorological factors were greater than the background concentration at the station. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that excluding yellow-dust days, which are known to affect atmospheric pollution levels, the accuracy of the model improved and resulted in increases in background PM10, vapor pressure, sea-level pressure, visibility, after-rainfall time, and in decreases in insolation and precipitation during low-wind speed conditions. CONCLUSIONS : At low-wind speeds, 5 days after rain, and when the relative humidity was higher than 72%, suspended dust was found to be higher than atmospheric PM10 concentration and may increase at increasing driving speeds and section lane traffic volumes. However, the volume of measured data in this study is limited to determining the patterns of suspended dust, as the silt loading of the operational road or the effects of prominent variables were not considered in this study. However, we identified prominent factors related to road-suspended dust for real-time road-dust predictions.

The need for an intelligent information-based ship accident prevention and control system for various marine accidents is very clearly emerging. As it is a variety of marine accidents, the causes are diverse. Therefore, it can be said that it is very important to prevent these marine accidents and their causes in advance. Therefore, a study was conducted on an intelligent information-based ship safety management decision support system that provides information necessary for decision-making at sea and land through an integrated management device for ships that informs safety-related risks in real-time ship operation. In the future, we intend to pursue the development of a system that can aim for safer and more economical ship operation by linking it to navigation instruments through the evaluation and analysis of AI, IoT, and big data.

본 연구에서는 울진군 대형산불 발생이 연안해역에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 울진군 나곡(F-1), 후정(F-2), 봉평(F-3), 공세 항(F-C)에서 수질과 함께 해조류의 종조성, 우점종 및 군집 특성을 분기별로 조사하였다. 수질 분석 결과, 산불에 대한 영향을 판단하기 위한 수소이온농도(pH)는 표․저층에서 각각 8.07~8.30과 8.12~8.48 이었다. 본 연구의 pH 값은 동해의 연안 해수에 있는 일반적인 농도 범 위에 포함된 값으로 산불로 인한 직접적인 영향으로 볼 수 없었다. 연안 조하대에서 조사한 해조류의 분석 결과, 전 시기에 대한 해조류 의 종조성 비율은 홍조류(58.1%) > 대롱편모조류(갈조류, 25.8%) > 녹조류(14.5%) > 현화식물(1.6%) 순이었다. 시기별 해조류의 우점종은 3 월과 6월에 나곡(F-1)과 후정(F-2) 해역에서 대롱편모조류(Ochrophyta, 갈조류)의 미역(Undaria pinnatifida)이 가장 우점하였다. 9월과 11월은 봉평(F-3) 해역과 공세항(F-C)에서 각각 홍조류(Rhodophyta)인 우뭇가사리(Gelidium elegans)와 혹돌잎류(Lithophyllum sp.)가 가장 우점하였다. 군집분석에서는 그룹이 계절에 따른 특정 해조류의 출현 유무에 따라 2개(A, B)로 나누어졌다. 우점종은 그룹 A에서 미역, 우뭇가사리, 미 끈뼈대그물말, 그룹 B는 주로 혹돌잎류가 출현하였다. 따라서, 연구지역의 해조류 종조성과 군집구조는 전형적인 수온에 따른 계절변화 와 함께 대조구와의 유의미한 차이도 보이지 않아서 산불에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았다.

본 논문은 CFRP Grid를 철근 대체재로 사용하기 위해 수행된 실험적 및 해석적 연구를 보고한다. CFRP Grid가 철근 대신 적용된 콘크리트 보의 휨거동을 평가하기 위해 총 5개의 콘크리트 실험체가 제작되었다. 실험변수로 CFRP Grid의 보강 겹 수, 피복두께가 고려되었다. 3점 휨실험을 통해 모든 실험체는 휨파괴됨을 확인하였다. 특히, 2겹과 3겹의 CFRP 그리드를 갖는 실험체는 CFRP Grid의 급작스런 파단으로 파괴되었다. 초기 균열하중은 CFRP Grid 보강 겹 수가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 반면 초기균열하중에 대한 피복두께의 영향은 명확하게 나타나지 않았다. 극한하중은 CFRP Grid의 보강 겹수 및 피복두께의 영향이 명확하게 나타났다. CFRP Grid로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 휨거동을 예측하기 위한 유한요소해석 결과는 실험체들의 균열양상 및 파괴모드를 유사하게 예측하였다. 특히, 극한하중, 극한하중에 대응하는 처짐, CFRP Grid의 변형률을 매우 유사하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 해석모델은 CFRP Grid가 철근 대체제로 사용된 콘크리트 보의 휨거동을 예측하기 위해 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : This study empirically analyzes the determinants of fatal accidents based on raw data on traffic accidents occurring in Chungnam in 2020. METHODS : Regression models based on theoretical arguments for fatal traffic accidents are estimated using a binomial logit model. RESULTS : The prediction model for fatal accidents is affected by the degree of urbanization of the region, month and day of the accident, type of accident, and type of law violation. In addition, speeding or illegal U-turns among law violations appear more likely to result in fatal accidents. The road surface conditions at the time of the accident do not show a significant difference in the probability of fatality among traffic accidents. However, the probability of a fatal accident is rather lower in case of a snowy road; this is plausible, as drivers tend to drive more carefully in bad weather conditions. CONCLUSIONS : Among traffic accidents, fatal accidents appear to be affected by the time and place of the accident, type of accident, and weather conditions at the time of the accident. These analysis results suggest policy implications for reducing fatal accidents and can be used as a basis for establishing related policies.

This study aims to promote the necessity for future research from the perspective of the indoor environment by analyzing the trend of domestic COVID-19 confirmed cases and examining previous quantitative research cases. The limitations of the qualitative management plan were identified by analyzing the trend of confirmed cases and deaths in Korea and the trend before and after the implementation of 'social distancing' and 'step-by-step daily recovery', which are actually being applied. The trend of initial and follow-up measures for the outbreak of infectious diseases in Korea is judged to be a case where the importance of qualitative and quantitative management should be confirmed to prepare absolute quarantine measures. The results suggest that examining previous research cases and preparing through advanced research for effective application.

국제해상충돌예방규칙은 선박이 다른 선박이나 해저 등 어떠한 물체에도 충돌하지 아니하도록 제정된 국제협약이다. 선박의 충돌예방을 위한 규칙은 19세기 중반부터 성문화되고 다듬어져 현재에 이르고 있다. 따라서 COLREGs에서 사용된 용어와 문장 또한 뚜렷 한 학문적, 법률적 의미를 갖고 있다. 그러나 COLREGs를 국내법으로 반영한 해사안전법에서는 ‘충돌의 위험성’과 ‘충돌의 위험’을 구분하 지 않은 채 혼용하고 있다. 이에 ‘위험성’의 정의에 대하여 국제연합 산하의 권위 있는 국제기구인 국제해사기구 및 널리 알려진 비정부 간 기구인 국제표준화기구에서 정의한 내용을 살펴봄으로써 ‘위험’과 ‘위험성’의 차이를 분석하였으며, COLREGs에서 관련 문장을 살펴봄 으로써 이를 구분해야할 근거를 제시하였다. 안전한 항해라는 측면에서 볼 때 향후 해사안전법에 ‘위험’과 ‘위험성’의 구분이 명확해 짐으 로써 이를 준수해야 하는 해기사들의 해상충돌예방을 위한 노력이 한층 체계화되기를 기대하였다.

In this research, the a novel finishing machine was used for hight-precision surface of spherical ball products that have been widely used for on/off valve for hydrogen energy flowing system and in medical field such as artificial hip joint component. The spherical balls products are the workpiece that made by Co-Cr-Mo alloys with 32-mm in diameter and Sa≈ 0.30μm in surface roughness. Their surface roughness was successfully improved via the magnetic abrasive tools that controlled the magnetic field of permanent magnets. The critical input conditions were selected as rotational speed: 800rpm, gap: 3mm, tool grain size: 1-μm finishing time: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15min. The results of this research showed that under the given finishing conditions, the high surface quality in the terms of surface precision of spherical ball products are successfully achieved, in which the surface roughness is reduced from 0.30-μm to 0.04-μm within the short finishing time at 12min. Therefore, it can be concluded that a novel finishing machine is feasible to be used for improving the surface roughness of spherical ball products, resulted in high surface precision of materials.

In this paper, the effect of a dynamic vibration absorber to suppress the response of a base excitation vibration system composed of a cubic nonlinear spring and a friction damper is investigated. And the dynamic absorber consists of a linear spring and a viscose damper. The mathematical models of these systems are governed by second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The response characteristics of the system are analyzed using the slowly changing phase and amplitude(SCPA) method, which is one of the averaging methods. As a function of the friction force ratio, It was obtained the locking frequency at which the relative motion starts was obtained, and the regions where the locking occurred. The displacement transmissibility was investigated according to the change of the design parameter, and the optimal design parameters could be found to minimize the displacement transmissibility.

해사안전법에서는 거대선을 전장 200m 이상의 선박으로 정의하고 있다. 이 기준은 1986년에 도입된 이후, 선박이 대형화되는 등 해상교통환경이 큰 폭으로 변화하였음에도 개정되지 않고 있다. 전장 200m는 건화물선의 경우 핸디막스급에 해당하여 현대 선박의 크 기 분류에서는 대형선박으로 보기 어렵다. 한편, 해사안전법에서 거대선이란 용어가 적용되는 조항은 교통안전특정해역에 관한 조항으 로, 거대선의 통항이 잦을 해역을 교통안전특정해역으로 설정할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 해사관련 법령을 검토하여 이 미 전장 200m 이상 선박보다 큰 선박에 대한 법령이 도입되어 있음을 조사하였다. 또한, 국내 각 항만의 입항 선박 통계를 조사하여 현 다섯 구역의 교통안전특정해역보다 거대선의 통항이 많은 해역이 존재함을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결론으로 해사안전법에서 거 대선 관련 조항 삭제 및 교통안전특정해역으로 설정할 수 있는 통항 선박의 전장 기준을 상향할 것을 개선방안으로 제시하였다.
