PURPOSES : This study aims to establish a performance measure to evaluate metropolitan transit centers from the perspectives of transportation and urban planning. The developed performance measure indicates the effectiveness of the metropolitan transit center in urban areas, suggesting a policy for design and urban development. METHODS : This study assesses the functionality of a transit center using a linear equation. Seven indicators representing the key functions of the transit center are employed to determine the efficiency of current status. We analyzed four transit centers–Cheongnyangni, Hapjeong, Sadang, and Seoul Station–where transfer centers are proposed owing to high traffic volumes. The coefficients are determined using the weights obtained from an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey. RESULTS : Application of the weights from the AHP survey to the indicators of each transit center reveals that overall Seoul Station scored the highest, whereas Cheongnyangni Station scored the lowest. In particular, Seoul Station performed better than other stations in terms of accessibility and simplified coverage area index (SCAI). Although Sadang Station slightly outperformed Hapjeong Station with respect to the total score, the variance was due to Hapjeong Station excelling in urban indicators despite its lower transportation metrics. Cheongnyangni Station scored low on most indicators despite significant physical investments, except for congestion, transfer time and floor area ratio. CONCLUSIONS : The AHP survey identified accessibility and SCAI as the most heavily weighted transportation-related indicators, while the floor area ratio, an urban development indicator, was the least weighted. Seoul Station, which excelled in accessibility and SCAI had the highest total score among the sites studied. However, locations with poorer transportation metrics but superior urban indicators can still function effectively as integrated metropolitan transit centers.

수도권으로 인구가 집중되면서 광역 통행의 비중이 증가하게 되었다. 이러한 상황에서 서울시는 광역 통행에서 승용차 통행량을 줄 이고 대중교통의 편리성을 강화하여 대중교통이 광역 통행 수요를 분담하도록 하는 동시에 도심 주요 지역의 고밀복합개발을 통해 효 율적으로 도시 인프라를 개발하고자 하는 목적으로 서울시 여러 곳에 광역복합환승센터를 설치하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 복합환승센 터가 잘 기능하는지 평가하고 추후 다른 환승센터를 계획할 때에도 활용 가능한 평가 지표를 개발하고자 하였다. 평가를 위한 지표는 교통 기능 평가 지표 4가지, 도시 기능 평가 지표 3가지로 총 7가지의 지표를 선정하였으며, 환승센터마다 하나 의 점수로 환산 가능하도록 이 지표들을 하나의 선형식으로 통합하였다. 스마트카드 데이터로 환승시간, 광역교통분담률을 계산하였으 며, 교통카드 빅데이터 시스템상의 데이터를 통해 혼잡도와 접근성 평가 데이터를 추출하였다. 또한, 주변 지역 활성화도 관련 지표들 은 서울 열린 데이터 광장에서 취득하였다. 선형식의 각 변수의 계수는 서울시립대학교 교통공학과 구성원들을 대상으로 AHP 설문을 실시하여 얻은 지표별 가중치를 이용하여 결정하였다. 그 결과 광역복합환승센터 평가에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 환승시간과 혼잡도였으며, 가장 적은 영향을 미친 요소는 용적률 활용도였다. 또한 완성된 선형식으로 서울역과 청량리역 환승센터를 평가한 결과 종합적으로 서울역 0.801543점, 청량리역 0.742488점으로 서울역이 청량리역보다 광역복합환승센터로서의 기능을 더 잘 수행하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 환승시간, 용적률 활용도 등 일부 지표가 청량리역에서 우세하였으나 혼잡도나 주변 지역 활성화 지표가 서울 역에서 더 좋은 평가를 받은 점이 원인일 것으로 분석되었다.

PURPOSES : This study proposes a method for comparative analysis, based on geographic information systems (GIS), that can be used when introducing demand-responsive transit in areas where public transportation is not available. METHODS : To analyze areas where public transportation is neglected, bus stop location information, building location information, and administrative district boundary data for the census were acquired. Geocoding was used for address-based raw data to create a spatial database. Based on the collected data, the proportion of households separated by a certain minimum distance from a bus stop was aggregated and constructed through near analysis. When introducing a demand-responsive transit system, the operational cost was calculated and compared with the existing city bus transportation cost. RESULTS : Results show that the operating costs of introducing demand-responsive transit can be compared and analyzed using the proposed method, for a case study of Daejeon Metropolitan City. CONCLUSIONS : It is economically efficient to avoid the entry of route buses and introduce demand-responsive transit in areas isolated from public transportation where the number of people getting on and off is extremely low.

A person who performs or plans to conduct a physical protection inspection as stipulated by the law, the act on physical protection and radiological emergency, should obtain an inspector’s ID card certified and authorized by Nuclear Safety and Security Commission Order No.137 (referred to as Order 137). In addition, according to Order 137, KINAC has been operating some training courses for those with the inspector’s ID card or intending to acquire it. Also, strenuous efforts have been put to incrementally elevate their inspection related expertise. Since Republic of Korea has to import uranium enriched less than 20% in order to manufacture fuels of nuclear reactors in domestic and abroad, the physical protection for categorization III nuclear material in transit is significantly important along with an increase in transport. The expertise of inspectors should be constantly needed to strengthen as the increase in transport leads to an increase in inspection of nuclear material in transit. We have suggested a special way to improve the inspector’s capacities through Virtual Reality technology (VR). A 3-Dimensional virtual space was designed and developed using a 3-axis simulator and VR equipment for practical training. HP’s Reverb G2 product, which was developed in collaboration with VALVE Corporation and MicroSoft, was used as VR equipment, and the 3-axis motion simulator was developed by M-line STUDIO corp. in Korea for the purpose of realizing virtual reality. The training scenarios of transport inspection consist of three parts: preparation at the shipping point, transport in route including stops and handover at the receiving point. At the departure point, scenario of the transport preparation is composed with the contents of checking the transport-related documents which should be carried by shipper and/or carrier during transport and confirming who the shipper and/or carrier is. Second, scenario is designed for inspector to experience how carrier and/or shipper protect the nuclear material during transport or stops for rests or contingency and how they communicate with each other during transport. Lastly, scenario is developed focusing on key check items during handover of responsibilities to the facility operator at the destination. Those training scenarios can be adopted to strengthen the capabilities of those with inspector’s ID card of physical protection in accordance with Order 137 and to help new inspectors acquire inspectionrelated expertise. In addition, they can be used for domestic education to promote understanding of nuclear security, or may be used for education for people overseas for the purpose of export of nuclear facilities.

Based on the light an exoplanet blocks from its host star as it passes in front of it during a transit, the mid-transit time can be determined. Periodic variations in mid-transit times can indicate another planet’s gravitational influence. We investigate 83 transits of TrES-1 b as observed from 6-inch telescopes in the MicroObservatory robotic telescope network. The EXOTIC data reduction pipeline is used to process these transits, fit transit models to light curves, and calculate transit midpoints. This paper details the methodology for analyzing transit timing variations (TTVs) and using transit measurements to maintain ephemerides. The application of Lomb-Scargle period analysis for studying the plausibility of TTVs is explained. The analysis of the resultant TTVs from 46 transits from MicroObservatory and 47 transits from archival data in the Exoplanet Transit Database indicated the possible existence of other planets affecting the orbit of TrES-1 and improved the precision of the ephemeris by one order of magnitude. We now estimate the ephemeris to be (2 455 489.66026 BJDTDB ± 0.00044 d) + (3.0300689 ± 0.0000007) d×epoch. This analysis also demonstrates the role of small telescopes in making precise midtransit time measurements, which can be used to help maintain ephemerides and perform TTV analysis. The maintenance of ephemerides allows for an increased ability to optimize telescope time on large groundbased telescopes and space telescope missions.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to explore crowding impedance for high-risk travelers on various modes of public transit during the COVID-19 pandemic and develop a transport policy to encourage the proper use of public transport. METHODS : A stated preference survey was conducted to investigate the behaviors of travelers on various modes of public transit, with special emphasis on crowding inside vehicles. Multinomial logit-based modeling was used to estimate the explanatory variables identified as parameters based on the surveyed data. A crowding multiplier was adopted to represent the behavioral differences for the high-risk travelers on various modes of public transit. RESULTS : The established model was solved using the ‘mlogit’ R package program to estimate the identified parameters. The results demonstrated significant behavioral difference for the high-risk travelers on public transit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed crowding multiplier successfully captured the reduced likelihood of high-risk travelers to be sensitive to crowding on the subway; furthermore, it revealed that non-crowding travelers on the subway are less sensitive to crowding than bus travelers. CONCLUSIONS : This study estimated crowding impedance for high-risk travelers on various modes of public transit during the COVID-19 pandemic and suggested an appropriate transport policy for those travelers.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to review a method to estimate the average travel speed of the Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) section using the bus departure and arrival time data collected using the Korean bus information system (BIS). METHODS : To determine an average travel speed estimation model suitable for the BRT system in Korea, the speed estimated using the speed estimation model of TCQSM, which is used in the U.S., and that using the proposed speed estimation model that used the bus departure and arrival time data were compared with the actual travel speed using a t-test. RESULTS : The average travel speed estimated using the proposed method was more suitable for the actual average travel speed than that estimated using the TCQSM model. CONCLUSIONS : As a result of estimating the average travel speed, if the length of the link is 900 m, SBRT can be constructed on the existing road, but at least 1,200 m must be ensured to build SBRT in the new city. The proposed bus average travel speed estimation model can be used to review the BRT operational efficiency considering the speed limit, traffic signal, and dwelling time at bus stops in the planning and operation stages of the BRT.

교통카드 데이터는 도시 유동 패턴 분석을 가능하게 하는 양질의 대용량 데이터를 제공한다. 하지만 유동 클러스터링의 방법론적 어려움으로 인해 기존의 연구들은 데이터의 이점을 최대로 활용하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자, 본 연구는 교통카드 데이터에 기반한 효율적인 유동 클러스터 탐지 기법을 제시하고, 이를 서울시 대중교통 통행 데이터에 적용하여 유의미한 유동 통행 클러스터를 도출하고자 한다. 사례 분석 결과, 서울 전체에 걸쳐 있는 다양한 대중교통 통행 클러스터를 도출할 수 있었고, 특히 공간상에서는 인접하지만 서로 다른 교통수단과 노선 하에서 이루어진 개별 유동들을 하나의 유동 통행 패턴으로 탐지할 수 있었다, 더 나아가, 일반적인 빈도분석으로는 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않지만 공간적으로 인접한 여러 다발의 유동이 모였을 때 유의미한 통행량을 가지게 되는 주요 통행 패턴을 포착할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 유동 현상을 분석하는데 중요한 방법론적 시사점을 제시하고 있으며, 제시된 알고리즘은 향후 보다 진보된 유동 클러스터링 기법을 개발하는데 필요한 기초 결과로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : The cooling characteristics of the asphalt mixture in a moving dump truck were analyzed using a numerical simulation method. The cooling characteristic can be used to determine the optimum transport path for minimizing the temperature drop of the asphalt mixture. METHODS : In this research, a coupled analysis of the discrete element method (DEM) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was applied for cooling characteristic analysis of asphalt mixtures in transit. Two different transit speeds, 30 km/h and 60 km/h, were considered to evaluate the effect of speed on the temperature drop of the asphalt mixture. Velocity, pressure, and temperature contours were plotted and temperature variations were compared. RESULTS : Most of the temperature drops in the asphalt mixture were observed in the middle of the dump box in the longitudinal direction. It was confirmed that a faster speed causes a greater temperature drop for the same travel time and a slower speed causes the more temperature to reach the same travel distance as expected. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that the coupled analysis method can be used to quantitatively evaluate the effect of vehicle speed on temperature drop in asphalt mixtures. In addition, the method can be used to determine the optimum travel path considering environmental conditions and traffic congestion.

This study compares the differences in the gastrointestinal transit time between the conventional capsule endoscope and a minimized capsule endoscope model in normal dogs to verify whether the minimization of capsule endoscope can help relief retention in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the pyloric passage. Three male beagles were used as the experimental group for which the minimized capsule endoscope model was orally administered and the control group consisted of three beagle dogs for which the conventional capsule endoscope was orally administered. Nine experiments were conducted with three experiments for each dog in each group. The results showed a significant difference in the gastric transit time (GTT) by the minimization of the capsule endoscope between the two groups (control group: 123.3 ± 80 min, experimental group: 63.3 ± 40.9 min, p=0.019). In contrast, the difference in the small bowel transit time (SBTT) by the minimization of the capsule endoscope between the two groups (control group: 86.6 ± 58.9 min, experimental group: 80 ± 33.5 min, p=0.863) was not significant. In this study, the capsule endoscopes reached the large intestine without retention in the small intestine in all subjects. The significant difference in the GTT between the control group using the conventional capsule endoscope and the experimental group using the minimized capsule endoscope model suggests that the smaller size of the capsule endoscope is helpful in resolving retention in the gastrointestinal tract, thus shorting the GTT.

This study investigated the prokinetic effect of metoclopramide and mirtazapine on gastric transit time (GTT), small bowel transit time (SBTT) and gastrointestinal transit time (GITT) during capsule endoscopy in four healthy beagle dogs. Four beagle dogs participated in the experiment as four groups at intervals of more than three days as the following: Control group 1 (capsule alone), Control group 2 (capsule alone), Metoclopramide administered group (metoclopramide + capsule) and Mirtazapine administered group (mirtazapine + capsule). The results of this study demonstrated there was no significant difference in GTT ([min] control group 1: 105 ± 90, control group 2: 172.5 ± 102 vs metoclopramide administered group: 247.5 ± 93, p = 0.07, 0.10) and SBTT ([min] control group 1: 120 ± 88, control group 2: 75 ± 39 vs metoclopramide administered group: 37.5 ± 15, p = 0.20, 0.18) for capsule only administered groups (control group 1 & 2) compared to metoclopramide administered group. In addition, there was no significant difference in GTT ([min] control group 1: 105 ± 90, control group 2: 172.5 ± 102 vs mirtazapine administered group: 127.5 ± 45, p = 0.56, 0.36) and SBTT ([min] control group 1: 120 ± 88, control group 2: 75 ± 39 vs mirtazapine administered group: 157.5 ± 38, p = 0.29, 0.07) between capsule only administered groups (control group 1 & 2) and mirtazapine administered group. In this study, the fact that metoclopramide might be ineffective and administration of mirtazapine might be inadequate in dogs were confirmed.

본 연구는 자연지명 및 인문지명과 관련된 도시철도 역명의 부적합성을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 역과 명명 유연 대상의 도상(圖上) 직선거리를 주요 기준으로 삼았으나, 산·천의 고유 특성, 인접역 관련성, 포섭 여부 등도 고려하였다. 분석 결과 자연지명 관련 역명은 50개 중 28개(56.0%)가 부적합하였는데, 산과 하천 관련 역명이 대부분이었다. 인문지명 관련 역명은 341개 중 83개 (24.3%)가 부적합하였다. 인문지명 관련 부적합 비율을 세부적으로 보면, 유물·유적 관련 역명의 21.7%, 교육·연구 시설 관련 역명의 47.9%, 문화·체육·관광 시설 관련 역명의 15.8%, 교통 관련 역명의 10.2%, 관공서 관련 역명의 9.1%, 공공시설 중 기타 시설 관련 역명의 29.4%, 민간시설 관련 역명의 35.9%가 부적합하였다. 도시철도 역명의 제·개정 시 본고에서 밝힌 문제점들을 충분히 고려하여 부적합 역명의 비율을 감소시켜 나가야 할 것이다.

우리나라의 도시철도 역사는 44년이나 되지만, 도시철도 역명에 관한 연구는 매우 빈약하다. 선행 연구 검토 결과 도시철도 역명에 관한 기본 특성 연구는 이미 수행된 바 있다. 그래서 본고에서는 우리나라 도시철도 전체 역명(1,033개)에 관한 심층 연구의 일환으로 역명의 부적합성을 분석하였다. 하지만 역명이 워낙 많고 특성이 서로 상이하여, 본고에서는 행정구역 관련 역명 630개에 대해서만 부적합 여부를 판단하였다. 역명 부적합성은 포섭 여부나 거리만으로 판단하는 것은 곤란하므로, 지역 대표성, 행정구역 변천 등 여러 측면을 종합적으로 고려하였다. 그 결과 시·군·구명 관련 역명은 부적합 비율이 8.33%로 매우 낮았고, 읍·면·동명 관련 역명은 39.01%로 매우 높았다. 유사 행정구역명 관련 역명은 45.45%로 매우 높았고, 리·마을명 관련 역명은 9.09%로 매우 낮았으며, ‘옛 지명’ 관련 역명은 19.51%로 상당히 높았다. 도시철도 역명 제정이나 개정 시 이런 문제점을 충분히 고려하여 부적합 역명의 비율을 감소시켜 나가야 할 것이다.

우리나라에 도시철도가 처음 도입된 지 44년이나 지났지만, 도시철도 역명에 대한 체계적, 종합적 연구는 매우 빈약하다. 선행 연구 검토 결과 수도권 도시철도 역명 특성에 관한 연구는 이미 수행된 바 있으므로, 본고에서는 수도권을 제외한 대도시(부산, 대구, 광주, 대전)에 건설되어 운영되고 있는 도시철도 11개 노선 282개 역을 대상으로 역명의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 음절 특성을 보면 2음절이 65.2%로 가장 많았고, 전체적으로는 지수(指數) 분포를 보였다. 어종별 특성은 한자어가 89.0%로 압도적이었으며, 고유어(5.0%), 혼종(4.3%), 구미어(1.8%) 순이었고, 숫자 역명은 없었다. 명명 유연성 특성은 유형 분류가 애매한 경우가 있지만, 행정구역명과 관련된 역명이 58.9%로 압도적이었고, 이어 인문지명(35.5%), 자연지명(4.6%) 관련 역명 순이었다. 행정구역 명 중에서는 읍·면·동 관련 지명이 77.1%(전체의 45.4%)로 압도적이었으며, 인문지명 중에서는 ‘사회(공공)’ 중분류에 해당하는 지명이 78.0%(전체의 27.7%)로 가장 비중이 높았다. 도시철도 역명은 시민들의 일상생활에 심대한 영향을 미치기 때문에 공공성, 대표성, 사용편의성 등을 고려하여 역명 제정 및 개정에 신중을 기해야 한다.
