As display devices evolve, computer-based work environments are also becoming better suited to actual application tasks. This paper discusses the development of an architectural design system using the virtual table, which is a table-type projection system. It consists of the interactive VR modeler, the hybrid tracker and the architectural interpreter. The interactive VR modeler offers visual and tactile guide such as grid interaction, a tangible transparent prop and reference objects, so that a user can design architectural 3D models more easily and intuitively on the virtual table. The hybrid tracker includes two types of tracking methods for viewpoint according to the user's view and hand interaction: namely, vision-based tracking and magnetic tracking. The architectural interpreter automatically transforms simple 3D masses into a basic construction form that has architectural knowledge. The proposed system has advantage in the sense that it is suitable for collaboration among several users, allowing them to view graphical objects in stereoscopic view with direct 3D manipulation. Thus, it can be effectively used for architectural simulation and user-participated design.

The development of tilting train has been required for speed-up on the conventional electric railroad due to the characteristic of Korean railroad with a lot of curve track. The study and development of a tilting system and a tilting bogie which have a different mechanism with high speed train will play a important role for enhancement of technology for Korean railway. The study for tilting pantograph mechanism to decrease the displacement between a catenary and a center of pantograph happened when the carbody is tilted in order to maintain the ride comfort and stability m a curving track is proceeding with the development of tilting train. In this paper, we introduce the design concept for the tilting mechanism of pantograph and the role and characteristics for several devices adopted in the tilting mechanism of pantograph. Through the kinematic analysis of tilting mechanism, we will obtain and calculate the optimal tilting angular velocity and acceleration in order to keep the contact behavior of a pantograph and a catenary according to tilting of a carbody.

For a efficient distance education environment, the need for correct problem recommendation guides considering the learner's exact learning pattern is increasing. In this paper, we study block chain based smart contract technology to suggest a method for presenting the optimal problem recommendation path for individual learners based on the data given by situational weights to the problem patterns of learners collected in the distance education environment. For the performance evaluation of this study, the learning satisfaction with the existing similar learning environment, the usefulness of the problem recommendation guide, and the learner data processing speed were analyzed. Through this study, it was confirmed that the learning satisfaction improved by more than 15% and the learning data processing speed was improved by more than 20% compared to the existing learning environment.

research on user-friendly experience design is crucial to reduce resistance and enhance acceptance of robotaxis. This study analyzes the prioritization of design factors in robotaxi systems and provides design guidelines based on user experience. Using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique, users' perceived importance of four primary design factors and sixteen 16 sub-design elements were assessed, and comfort and safety were top priorities. The results showed that the artificial intelligence agent was the most critical design factor, followed by driving guidance information, interior design, and exterior design. These findings offer valuable insights for robotaxi professionals, and could assist in informed decision-making and creating user-centered design guidelines.

With the commercialization of the ADAS functions, the need for the experience of the autonomous driving system is increasing, and the role of the artificial intelligence agent is attracting attention. This study is an autonomous driving experience experiment that verifies the effect of self-efficacy and agent embodiment. Through a simulator experiment, we measured the effect of existence of self-efficacy and agent embodiment on social presence, perceived risk, and perceived ease of use. Results show that self-efficacy had a positive effect on social presence and perceived risk, and agent embodiment negatively affected perceived ease of use. Based on the results of the study, we proposed guidelines for agent design that can increase the acceptance of the semi-autonomous driving system.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the control of an agent according to a driver's social status affects user experience factors in a multi-user environment of self-driving vehicles. We conducted a user study where participants viewed four scenarios (route changing/parking x accepting/declining a fellow passenger's command) and answered a survey, followed by a post-hoc interview. Results showed that either the routing scenario or accepting a passenger's command scenario had higher usefulness (convenience, effectiveness, efficiency) than their counterparts. Regardless of the car owner's social status, participants rated AI agents more positively when they met their goals effectively. They also stressed that vehicle owners should always be in control of their agents. This study can provide guidelines for designing future autonomous driving scenarios where an agent interacts with a driver, and passengers.

In the semi-autonomous vehicle, before reaching a fully autonomous driving stage, it is imperative for the system to issue a take-over request(TOR) that asks a driver to operate manually in a specific situation. The purpose of this study is to compare whether head-up display(HUD) is a better human-vehicle interaction than head-down display(HUD) in the event of TOR. Upon recognition of TOR in the experiment with a driving simulator, participants were prompted to switch over to manual driving after performing a secondart task, that is, playing a game, while in auto-driving mode. The results show that HUD is superior to HDD in 'ease of use' and 'satisfaction' although there is no significant difference in reaction time and subjective workload. Therefore, designing secondary tasks through HUD during autonomous driving situation improves the user experience of the TOR function. The implication of this study lies in the establishing an empirical case for setting up UX design guidelines for autonomous driving context.

Braiding machines of maypole type have complex guide tracks. It is not easy to speed up drivers while carriers are moving at high speed. This paper presents a new design approach using dynamic analysis and modeling for moving carriers on the guide tracks. The proposed approach will be shown to be effective by using simulation tool, WORKING MODEL $2D^{\circledR}$, for high speed drivers on new models of braiding machines of maypole type.
