In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, research and development on autonomous vehicles have been actively conducted all over the world. Under these international trends, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is actively promoting the development of autonomous vehicles aiming at commercialization of autonomous vehicles at level 3 or higher by 2020. In the level 3 autonomous vehicle, it is essential to transfer control between the driver and the vehicle according to driving situations. Prior to the full-fledged autonomous vehicle age, this study developed a representative scenario for the safety evaluation on take-over on expressways. To accomplish this, we developed a highway driving scenario first, and then developed six control transition scenarios based on 2014 highway traffic accident data and take-over data. The variables to be considered in the developed scenarios are divided into drivers, vehicles, and environmental factors. A total of 36 variables are selected.

In this paper, an efficient dynamic reactive motion planning method for an autonomous vehicle in a dynamic environment is proposed. The purpose of the proposed method is to improve the robustness of autonomous robot motion planning capabilities within dynamic, uncertain environments by integrating a virtual plane-based reactive motion planning technique with a sensor fusion-based obstacle detection approach. The dynamic reactive motion planning method assumes a local observer in the virtual plane, which allows the effective transformation of complex dynamic planning problems into simple stationary ones proving the speed and orientation information between the robot and obstacles. In addition, the sensor fusion-based obstacle detection technique allows the pose estimation of moving obstacles using a Kinect sensor and sonar sensors, thus improving the accuracy and robustness of the reactive motion planning approach. The performance of the proposed method was demonstrated through not only simulation studies but also field experiments using multiple moving obstacles in hostile dynamic environments.

Unlike ground roads, the on-ramp merging section of underground roads cannot be seen by drivers of main road due to tunnels. In this study, a driving simulator was used for analysis, and virtual driving experiments were carried out to assess the driver's visibility for different design factors. The driver's driving behavior was analyzed by setting scenarios considering the length of chevron markings and the approach speed from the main road. The results of the analysis were used to determine the design factors for ensuring visibility when constructing the virtual driving environment for each scenario. These factors, including speed, lane change points, and driver's gaze ratios, were reviewed for significance using a statistical approach. As a result, in scenarios with a higher approach speed from the main road, it was discovered that there was a difference in driver's behavior between specific scenarios depending on the length of the section with chevron markings. Based on these findings, this study suggests implications and feasible solutions to improve driver safety on the on-ramp merging section of underground roads.

차량 기술의 발전으로 커넥티드 및 자율주행 차량 환경과 같은 차량 기술의 발전은 운전자에게 편의와 안전을 위한 기능을 제공한다. 하지만 이러한 장점들에도 불구하고 사이버 공격의 다양한 취약점 노출되어 있다. 최근까지 자동차 내부 네트워크로써 가장 널리 사용되는 통신기술인 CAN(Controller Area Networks) 통신은 대부분 차량의 동력을 담당하는 역할을 하다보니, 보안 문제의 중심에 서게 될 수 있다. 다양한 이기종 네트워크에서 구성된 가상화 기반의 사이버 훈련 프레임워크에 대해 설명하고자 한다. 이러한 사례 연구는 차량에 대해 물리적인 실험 환경에서의 모의침투와 같은 테스트가 어렵고, 보안과 안전이 함께 고려되어야 하는 특수성을 가진 차량 내부 네트워크의 사이버 훈련 프레임워크 설계에 도움을 줄 것이다. 본 논문에서는 가상화 개발환경 구축 사례 조사, 가상화 개발환경 구현과 차량의 공격 시나리오 및 탐지 프레임워크의 동향을 설명한다.

자율주행 시뮬레이터를 위한 대체재로 게임 엔진을 통한 가상 환경 모의 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만 게임 엔진에서는 자율 주행에 필요한 센서를 기기에 맞게 사용자가 직접 모델링을 해줘야 하기 때문에 개발 비용이 크게 작용된다. 특히, Ray 를 활용한 3D LIDAR 는 GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) 사용량이 많은 작업이기 때문에 저비용 시뮬레이터를 위해서는 저비용 3D LIDAR 모의가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 컴퓨터 연산을 사용하는 C++ 기반 3D LIDAR 모의 프레임 워크를 제안한다. 제안된 3D LIDAR 는 다수의 언덕으로 이루어진 비포장 Map 에서 성능을 검증 하였으며, 성능 검증을 의해 본 논문에서 생성된 3D LIDAR 로 간단한 LPP(Local Path Planning) 생성 방법도 소개한다. 제안된 3D LIDAR 프레임 워크는 저비용 실시간 모의가 필요한 자율 주행 분야에 적극 활용되길 바란다.

대부분의 임베디드 시스템은 기계장치와 전자기기 장치가 함께 작동되는 물리 장치로써, 이기종 네트워크, 복잡한 보안체계 등을 고려하여 가상화 기반 사이버훈련 환경이 구성되어야 한다. 또한, 차량을 대상으로 물리적인 실험환경에서 모의침투 등 사이버훈련을 수행한다는 것은 교통사고를 비롯한 안전사고 발생에 있어 위험이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 가상 개발환경에서의 공격 기반 차량용 사이버훈련 프레임워크를 제안하고자 한다. 먼저, 공격 기반 차량용 사이버훈련 프레임워크의 작동은 자동 활성화되는 가상의 CAN 네트워크 인터페이스로 시작된다. 가상의 CAN 네트워크 인터페이스는 가상 머신에서 간단한 부트스트랩 명령어 실행을 통해 파이썬 패키지와 Ubuntu 서비스 목록 설치 명령이 자동으로 실행되면서 설치된다. 이후 내부 네트워크 시뮬레이터와 공격모듈과 관련된 UI가 자동으로 Ubuntu Systemd에 의해 백그라운드에서 실행되어 시작과 동시에 준비 상태를 유지하게 된다. 사이버훈련 UI 내 공격 모듈은 사용자에 의한 공격 선택 및 파라미터 셋팅 이후 차량의 이상 상태를 사이버훈련 UI에 다시 출력되게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 가상 개발환경 기반의 차량용 사이버훈련 프레임워크는 자율주행 차량 사고의 위험이나 다른 특수한 제약 없이 사용자의 학습 경험을 확장시킬 수 있다. 또한, 기존의 가상화 기반 사이버훈련 교육 콘텐츠와는 달리 일반 사용자들이 접근하기 쉬운 형태로 확장 개발이 가능하다.

To ensure safer road conditions, understanding the human factors influencing driving behavior is crucial. However, there are many difficulties in deriving the characteristics of individual human factors that affect actual driving behaviors. Therefore, this study analyzes self-reported dangerous-driving propensities in order to explore potential correlations with drivers' behaviors. The goal is to propose a method for assessing driving tendencies based on varying traffic scenarios. The study employed a questionnaire to gauge participants' propensity to drive dangerously, utilizing a simulator to analyze their driving behaviors. The aim is to determine any notable connections between dangerous-driving propensity and specific driving behaviors. Results indicate that individuals exhibiting a high propensity for reckless driving, as identified by the Korean DBQ, tend to drive at higher speeds and display more aggressive acceleration patterns. These findings contribute to a potential method for assessing reckless driving drivers.

The perception of traffic environment based on various sensors in autonomous driving system has a direct relationship with driving safety. Recently, as the perception model based on deep neural network is used due to the development of machine learning/in-depth neural network technology, a the perception model training and high quality of a training dataset are required. However, there are several realistic difficulties to collect data on all situations that may occur in self-driving. The performance of the perception model may be deteriorated due to the difference between the overseas and domestic traffic environments, and data on bad weather where the sensors can not operate normally can not guarantee the qualitative part. Therefore, it is necessary to build a virtual road environment in the simulator rather than the actual road to collect the traning data. In this paper, a training dataset collection process is suggested by diversifying the weather, illumination, sensor position, type and counts of vehicles in the simulator environment that simulates the domestic road situation according to the domestic situation. In order to achieve better performance, the authors changed the domain of image to be closer to due diligence and diversified. And the performance evaluation was conducted on the test data collected in the actual road environment, and the performance was similar to that of the model learned only by the actual environmental data.

Personal Rapid Transit(PRT), which is one of the next generation convergence transport technology, PRT system requires operation technology for controlling diverse vehicles and dealing with a variety of abnormal driving situations on a large scale trackway structures in expected operational area more efficiently and reliably. Before developing PRT control technology, it is essential that multiple testing procedures stepwise with building small scale test-tracks and develop real unmanned-vehicles. However, it is expected that the experiments demand huge amount of time and physical cost. Thus, simulation in virtual environment is efficient to develop wireless based control technology for multiple PRT vehicles prior to building real-test environment. In this paper, we propose a VR-based integrated simulator which physics engine is applied so that it enables simulation of front-wheel-steering PRT system rather than simple rail track system. The proposed simulator is also developed that it can reflect geographical features, infrastructures and network topology of expected driving region.
