최근 통합교통서비스(Mobility-as-a-Service)의 개념을 도입하여 이용자들의 이동성과 접근성 을 향상시키고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 카셰어링, 택시 등 에 대해 수요와 공급에 따라 지역을 구분하여 가격을 책정하는 유동적인 가격 책정 전략을 도입하여 단일 요금제가 가지는 서비스 기피 등의 문제를 해결함과 동시에 기업과 운전자들의 수익성에 긍정적인 영향 을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 승객과 운전자간의 배차거리, 승객의 운행 거리, 승객의 목적지에 대한 HDBSCAN 알고리즘을 통해서 정밀하게 인식된 수요 밀집지역, 승객과 운전자가 생각하는 선호가격을 고려하여 승객과 운전자의 입장에서 Matching Matrix를 생성한다. 이를 조합하고 보상에 반영하여, 강화학습이 더욱더 현실적인 유동적인 가격 책정 전략을 도출할 수 있는 새로운 방법론을 제안한다.

Research interest in the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) concept for enhancing users’ mobility experience is increasing. In particular, dynamic pricing techniques based on reinforcement learning have emerged since adjusting prices based on the demand is expected to help mobility services, such as taxi and car-sharing services, to gain more profit. This paper provides a simulation framework that considers more practical factors, such as demand density per location, preferred prices, the distance between users and drivers, and distance to the destination that critically affect the probability of matching between the users and the mobility service providers (e.g., drivers). The aforementioned new practical features are reflected on a data structure referred to as the Matching Matrix. Using an efficient algorithm of computing the probability of matching between the users and drivers and given a set of precisely identified high-demand locations using HDBSCAN, this study developed a better reward function that can gear the reinforcement learning process towards finding more realistic dynamic pricing policies.

This paper proposes a new method for the number recognition on dot matrix LED display. The proposed method uses morphological processing that dilates dots of numbers and connects the dots into strokes. The size of numbers is normalized using horizontal projection because the gaps of dots are different according to the size of numbers. The numbers are segmented by connected component analysis and finally, template matching method recognizes the segmented numbers. The proposed method is implemented using C language in Raspberry Pi system with a camera module for a real-time image processing. Experiments were conducted by using various dot matrix LED displays. The results show that the proposed method is successful for the number recognition on dot matrix LED display.

Multi-port($2{\times}2$port, 1port) rectangular waveguide discontinuity problem has been analyzed by use of $TE^x_{mn}$ (mono)mode matching method. Matrix size can be reduced significantly in comparison with $TE_{mn}&TM_{mn}$(full-wave)mode matching method. the present results is compared with those by CST MicroWave Studio to validate the presint method.
