| <Abstract>
In electronic delivery of engineering works and construction fields, the standard is settled and the
base is adequately maintained by the initiative of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. But,
problems arise in the actual electronic delivery. These problems are that when order supplier and order
demander exchange data, the significantly identity is not assured enough and the coexistence of similar data
increase the work cost. Currently, a special application for document processing is being introduced as means
to solve these problems. But, it is not a technique for fundamentally solving the problem. In this research,
the layout of the document data made by a variety of data forms was analyzed, and its structural information
was created. The substantial difference between documents is extracted by analyzing meaning information
using the natural-language processing, and the identity is verified. In addition, document management is
made more efficient by presenting detailed difference information.

A road traffic census is an investigation to understand the realities of the road traffic
in Japan, and there are the general traffic density investigation and the parking investigation.
Especially, the general traffic density investigation measures the various traffics of the pedestrian,
the bicycle, and the car every one hour on the weekday or holiday. Therefore, grasping local
environment and local traffic density can be estimated the traffic for the future by executing road
traffic census. Recently, with a development of information technology, the traffic density
investigation can automatically be measured using the animation filmed with the video camera.
In an existing research, a general and highly accurate method of detecting people is not
established. Then, in this research, we try to establish it. Firstly, the area of people is specified
by the background subtraction method and the smoothing process. Secondly, the feature of
people is extracted by the labeling. Finally, the movement of people is measured from the area
lap rate of the labeling. This research is applied to the crowded space like the elevator, and we
aim for the development of a general and highly accurate system on measurement for counting
people.

| <Abstract>
In case of fitting geometric model of pavement rutting to the real data, the model of a high
order function has the well advantage of fitness. However, it also has the disadvantage of versatility. In
this study, we developed the pavement rutting models with quadratic function and spline function for
quantification of pavement rutting characteristics on road surface. The two developed models are verified
in respect of the adaptability of these shapes and the accommodation for the simulation method of the
vehicle dynamics using the road profile data of the PIARC EVEN experiment in 1998. As a result, it is
indicated that the spline function is applicable for representing pavement rutting characteristics.

| <Abstract>
The objective of this study is to develop the simulation system of spreading urban
fire in an earthquake using Petri-net. A house is modeled by the 4 places and 12 transitions.
The integral number which corresponds to the spreading time inside the house is allocated to each
input arc. In order to represent the catching fire from next door, another transitions are
prepared between the places which belong to the different houses. The integral number which
corresponds to the spreading time of inter-house is allocated to the arc. It is demonstrated by
numerical experiments that the simulation system can be applied to the case of fire which occurs
simultaneously in many places.

| <Abstract>
In this study, we propose a simulation model for chlorine-ion diffusion using cellular
automaton (CA), where mobile-water and immobile-water are postulated to exist in soil.
Simulation results obtained from this proposed model are compared with those of observation
by column experiment to verify the applicability of the model for soil pollution phenomena. The
model could be reproduced tailing phenomena in breakthrough curves, and estimated
distribution of immobile water in the soil column. It is shown that the complexity phenomena
such as diffusion of soil pollution can be simulated simply and precisely by CA model more
simply than numerical analysis.

| <Abstract>
In this paper, a bridge management system application aiming to assist bridge managers to
design optimal rehabilitation/maintenance (R&M) policies is presented. The system provides to the bridge
managers the technical information for the planning of optimal R&D as well as managerial accounting
information for the asset valuation of the bridges for every fiscal year. The system includes an estimation
module that estimates the Markov transition probabilities based on the observation data set from
inspections and a module that generates a simulation of the deterioration/rehabilitation processes of the
bridge systems in order to evaluate the life-cycle costs of the R&M policies. The system presented in the
paper is applied to the bridge systems managed by the Himeji Office of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure
and Transport, and the applicability of the systems is tested against real world data.
