PURPOSES : Most Red bus1) (metropolitan bus) routes to Seoul need to increase supply by increasing the number of buses and number of trips because of the high level of congestion in buses, which also accommodate standing passengers. Due to the recent Itaewon disaster, people have been banned from standing on Red buses due to concerns over the excessive use of public transportation, adding to the inconvenience of passengers, such as increased travel time. However, some routes incur a large deficit owing to excess vehicles and trips relative to the number of passengers, thereby increasing the financial burden of Gyeonggi. Therefore, in this study, a reasonable operation plan is required based on the demand on Red bus routes. METHODS : Using accurate data from smart cards and a Bus Management System, the model was applied to consider bus usage, bus arrival distribution, waiting time, and operating conditions, such as actual bus usage time and bus dispatch interval. RESULTS : As a result of applying the model, buses between 7:00 and 9:00 and 16:00 and 18:00 were very crowded because of standing passengers, and passenger inconvenience costs decreased because of the longer waiting times for bus stops in Seoul. Currently, there are 15 buses in operation for the red bus G8110. However, considering the annual transportation cost, transportation income, and support fund limit, up to 12 buses can be operated per day. The G8110 route was analyzed at 23.6 million won for passenger discomfort cost, as 15 buses operated 97 times per day on weekdays. However, when establishing optimal scheduling, 12 buses per day operated 75 times per day, with a 19.7 million won passenger discomfort cost. CONCLUSIONS : As all red buses run from the starting point, passengers at the bus stop wait for more than an hour before entering Seoul, and the passenger discomfort cost of using demand-responsive chartered buses decreases only when commuting from Jeongja Station and Namdaemun Tax Office stops. Currently, many people commuting from Gyeonggi-do to Seoul are experiencing significant inconvenience owing to the ban on standing in Red buses; a suitable level of input can be suggested for the input and expansion of chartered buses.

In the satellite operation phase, a ground station should continuously monitor the status of the satellite and sends out a tasking order, and a satellite should transmit data acquired in the space to the Earth. Therefore, the communication between the satellites and the ground stations is essential. However, a satellite and a ground station located in a specific region on Earth can be connected for a limited time because the satellite is continuously orbiting the Earth, and the communication between satellites and ground stations is only possible on a one-to-one basis. That is, one satellite can not communicate with plural ground stations, and one ground station can communicate with plural satellites concurrently. For such reasons, the efficiency of the communication schedule directly affects the utilization of the satellites. Thus, in this research, considering aforementioned unique situations of spacial communication, the mixed integer programming (MIP) model for the optimal communication planning between multiple satellites and multiple ground stations (MS-MG) is proposed. Furthermore, some numerical experiments are performed to verify and validate the mathematical model. The practical example for them is constructed based on the information of existing satellites and ground stations. The communicable time slots between them were obtained by STK (System Tool Kit), which is a well known professional software for space flight simulation. In the MIP model for the MS-MG problems, the objective function is also considered the minimization of communication cost, and ILOG CPLEX software searches the optimal schedule. Furthermore, it is confirmed that this study can be applied to the location selection of the ground stations.

구조물의 풍진동 제어에 사용되는 능동질량감쇠기(Active Mass Damper, AMD)는 구조물의 가속도, 속도, 변위 응답을 계측하고 제어알고리즘에 따라 제어력을 산정한 후, 질량체에 연결된 모터 구동를 통해 제어력을 발생시키는 장치로, 핵심 설계기술은 이동 질량체의 질량, 모터용량, 이송거리를 최소화하면서 제어성능을 확보하는 데 있다. 하지만 이동질량을 최소화하는 경우 제어성능을 증가시키기 위해 AMD에 요구되는 가속도가 증가하게 되고, 이에 따라 이송거리가 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 AMD의 제어성능은 유지하면서, 질량 및 이송거리를 최소할 수 있는 방안으로 제어력 게인 스케줄링을 위한 가중함수와 등속도 원점보정을 위한 속도입력 함수를 제시하였다. 또한, 구조물 응답에서 제어 대상 신호만을 추출하기 위한 입력필터 설계 방안을 제시하여, 이에 대한 효용성 검증을 위한 해석을 수행한 후, 39층 구조물에 설치한 56ton 용량의 AMD에 적용하여 제어실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 게인 스케줄링 가중함수와 등속도 원점보정 속도입력 함수에 의해 이동질량체의 이송거리를 최소화하면서도, 원점근처에서의 안정적인 거동이 가능함을 확인하였고, 입력 필터를 통해 제어 모드 이외의 신호를 제거함으로써, 목표 제어성능을 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
