Recently, the R&D of weapon systems has been strengthened in terms of economic cost management throughout the entire life cycle from performance. This study proposes the method for setting the optimal maintenance concept based on RAM-C in weapon system acquisition stage by calculating the operation & maintenance cost as well as reliability, availability, and maintainability. First, we design a simulation model for analysis of weapon system logistic supportability. In addition, information such as weapon system Part Breakdown Structure, operation & maintenance system, cost, and etc for simulation analysis, is applied. Based on the obtained simulation results, the optimal plan is selected among alternatives designed with various maintenance concepts through normalization and weight setting. It is expected to be of technical help in the application of RAM-C in the weapon system acquisition stage.
PURPOSES :This study has been performed with the objective to determine threshold zone luminance of adaptation luminance by target safety level in a vehicular traffic tunnel with design speed set at 100km/h .
METHODS :The study made a miniature capable of portraying changes in luminance distribution within 2 10 conical field of view of the driver approaching to the tunnel for the test. Test conditions were set based on justifications for CIE 88-1990's threshold zone luminance used as a reference by domestic tunnel light standards (KS C 3703 : 2010). Luminance contrast of object background and object is 23%, object presentation duration is 0.5 seconds, and size of the object background is 7.3 11.5m 2 RESULTS : Threshold zone luminance was set within adaptation luminance of 100 3,000cd/m 2 . Adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance based on 50%, 75% and 90% target safety level all showed a relatively high linear relationship. According to findings in the study, it is not appropriate to specify the relationship between adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance as luminance ratio. Rather, direct utilization of the linear relationship gained from the study findings appears to be the better solution.
CONCLUSIONS :Findings of this study may be used to determine operation of threshold zone luminance based on target safety level.However, a proper verification and validity of test results are required. Furthermore, a study to determine proper threshold zone luminance level considering target safety level reviewed in this study and various decision-making factors such as economic conditions in Korea and energyrelated policies should be carried out in addition. Additional tests on adaptation luminance greater than 3,000cd/m 2 will be performed, through which application scope of the test findings will be broadened.
In a foggy day, visible distances depend greatly on the ever-changing concentration of fog. Most of chained rear-end collisions in a foggy day are caused by the significant differences in speeds between vehicles. Then, it is important to minimize the collisions in fog. This study is to estimate the effects of FDWS on drivers' safety behaviors by using a vehicle simulator and a questionnaire survey. A roadway section 1 km long with bidirectional 2 lanes was chosen for the estimation efforts. The test segment was from the Munsan to the Jeokseong county in National Highway 37. Scenarios associated with fog were set as heavy fog. Also, the distance between driver warning lamps was considered by 25 m and 30 m, respectively. The experiment conducted in this study employed the total of 31 adults who were randomly selected from 20-to 60-year old. Before performing the experiment, each subject had enough times to be familiar with the vehicle simulator and was instructed by the guideline of the experiment. After performing the main test, a questionnaire survey was undertaken for each subject.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
