In 1985, the Sammi Superstars became known as the Cheongbo Pintos. The next year, 1986, saw some major changes, with the OB Bears moving from Daejeon to share the Seoul's Jamsil Baseball Stadium with MBC Chungyong in Seoul. A new franchise, the Binggrae Eagles, joined to replace vacancy of Daejeon by OB's moving and expanding the league to seven franchises. 1988 saw the Cheongbo Pintos change ownership again, becoming the Pacific Dolphins. In 1990, MBC Chungyong became the LG Twins and an eighth franchise was added, the Ssangbangwool Raiders who represented the Jeollabuk-do region. There was little change in the 90's except for a few major sponsors: 1993 saw the Binggrae Eagles become the Hanwha Eagles, in 1995 the Pacific Dolphins became the Hyundai Unicorns and the OB Bears in 1999 became the Doosan Bears. Bigger changes were affected in 2000 when the Hyundai Unicorns moved from Incheon to Suwon, and a new franchise, the SK Wyverns took their place in Incheon. The Ssangbangwool Raiders became defunct. In 2001, the Haitai Tigers became the Kia Tigers. In 2008, the Hyundai Unicorns franchise was sold, renamed the Woori Heroes and moved to Mok-dong in Seoul, after a disappointing season in 2007 both on and off the field.

  • An Analysis of Time-Varying Crowding on Subway Platforms Using AFC Data in Seoul Metropolitan Subway Network
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 March 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202003.0109.v1 Article An Analysis of Time-Varying Crowding on Subway Platforms using AFC Data in Seoul Metropolitan Subway Network Seongil Shin 1, Sangjun Lee 2* 1 Department of Transportation System Research, The Seoul Institute; [email protected] 2 Department of Transportation System Research, The Seoul Institute; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected](S.L.); [email protected](S.S.) Abstract: Management of crowding at subway platform is essential to improving services, preventing train delays and ensuring passenger safety. Establishing effective measures to mitigate crowding at platform requires accurate estimation of actual crowding levels. At present, there are temporal and spatial constraints since subway platform crowding is assessed only at certain locations, done every 1~2 years, and counting is performed manually Notwithstanding, data from smart cards is considered real-time big data that is generated 24 hours a day and thus, deemed appropriate basic data for estimating crowding. This study proposes the use of smart card data in creating a model that dynamically estimates crowding. It first defines crowding as demand, which can be translated into passengers dynamically moving along a subway network. In line with this, our model also identifies the travel trajectory of individual passengers, and is able to calculate passenger flow, which concentrates and disperses at the platform, every minute. Lastly, the level of platform crowding is estimated in a way that considers the effective waiting area of each platform structure.

    SEOUL’S BEST VIEWS OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS Travel In Spring. Travel In Seoul MARCH 1, 2018 WWW.MARIAMIMAY.NET [email protected] 1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION Winter officially waved good bye, so what’s next? Of course, “Hello Spring!” And when we speak of spring in Seoul, we’re obviously talking about cherry blossoms, the most awaited wonder when spring is in the air. “Sakura”, its Japanese name, when on its full bloom bathe the city in white and soft pink color. Widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, West Siberia, Iran, Pakistan, India, Canada, and the United States. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan and has a wide variety of over 200 types. It symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence. The beauty of this modest flower gives a dazzling adorn to South Korea, making it as one of the major tourist attraction every spring season. Thus, walking under the arrays of cherry blossom trees along the Han River, royal palaces, parks and every corner of Seoul is such a wonderful scenery and pleasure. Sakura flowers are known for its short sparkle. We may be able to behold its beauty in only 14 days, from the start of the blooming period to its peak blooming date, however can be shorten by frost or high temperatures combined with wind.

Differently from the original TTP, in which the total travel distance of all the participants is the objective function to minimize, we instead seek to maximize the fairness of the round robin tournament schedule of the Korean Baseball League. The standard deviation of the travel distances of teams is defined as the energy function, and the Metropolis Monte-Carlo method combined with the simulated annealing technique is applied to find the ground state configuration. The resulting tournament schedule is found to satisfy all the constraint rules set by the Korean Baseball Organization, but with drastically increased fairness in traveling distances.
