본 연구에서는 연령증가에 따라 운전에 필요한 신체적, 인지적 능력의 변화가 어떻게 나타나는지 설문을 통해 분석하고, 이것이 교통안전 시설물(신호기, 노면표시, 도로표지판)의 필요성 및 적정성을 평가하는 것과 어떤 관계가 있는 지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 20세 이상 운전면허 소지자를 대상으로 5개 권역, 500명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이를 분석하였다. 운전능력에 대한 자기평가 점수는 종합적 능력, 개별능력(시력, 청력, 색채식별 등) 모두 연령이 증가함에 따라 점수가 낮아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 시력은 연령증가에 따른 감소폭이 크고, 절대적인 평균점수가 다른 항목에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 시력의 경우 타 신체적, 인지적 능력에 비해 운전 중 기능의 저하에 따른 체감도가 크기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 설문결과에 따른 분류분석을 통해서는 신체적, 인지적 기능의 저하가 시작되는 연령이 기존의 고령운전자로 판단하는 65세 보다 낮은 48세로 분석되었다. 이것은 연령증가에 따른 기능 저하로 인한 영향을 받는 운전자가 그렇지 않은 운전자보다 더 많다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 시설물에 대한 필요성 인식에 대한 평가 역시 운전능력에서 차이를 나타내는 연령대에서 인식의 차이가 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

Strut insulator in a vehicle is an important part to prevent noise and vibration which is created for driving on the road. Most of the viscoelastic-mounts are made of rubber and natural rubber is the key ingredient. These rubber products show well performance for the initial time, but they will degrade after they are exposed to a high temperature circumstance and a cyclic load. NVH performance and comfort in a vehicle were decreased by these degradation of the rubber. In this study, spring displacement in a vehicle was measured to make a profile in the simulation test performed with an acceleration sensor. In addition, acceleration level, rubber permanent deformation and hardness of the rubber were measured according to drive distance and vehicle model.

Hybrid composite strut tower was designed to prevent permanent deformation of upper mount by the impact from the uneven road. When exceeding energy absorption capacity of tire and suspension systems, residual impact is delivered to upper mount. Especially, in case of using high-rigidity suspension system for high driving performance, the conventional strut tower can be easily deformed due to reduction of energy absorption capacity of suspension systems. In this study, optimal design of hybrid composite strut tower which made of back-up metal and carbon fiber reinforced composite was suggested by using finite element analysis, and low velocity impact test was performed to investigate their dynamic characteristics. Also, 3D measuring and ultra c-scanning methods were carried out to diagnose damages in the strut towers.

This paper presents an adaptive variable weights tuning system for an integrated chassis control with electronic stability control (ESC) and active front steering (AFS) for lateral stability enhancement. After calculating the control yaw moment needed to stabilize a vehicle with a controller design method, it is distributed into the tire forces generated by ESC and AFS using weighted pseudo-inverse-based control allocation (WPCA). On a low friction road, lateral stability can deteriorate due to high vehicle speed. To cope with the problem, adaptive tuning rules on variable weights of the WPCA are proposed. To check the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation was performed on the vehicle simulation package, CarSim.

Prohibition of lane changes in bridges and tunnels have been many problems in throughputs of expressways caused by heavy vehicles and slow-moving traffics. Nevertheless, those are constructed actively by the general trends, which are preservation of environment and ecosystem are more important, because mountainous districts are about 70% across the whole extent of Korea. In this paper, the proper design standards for permission of lane changes in bridges and tunnels classified into structure, safe, and driver's conveniences are suggested as follows. 1. Right shoulder should have more than 2.5m in bridges and tunnels. 2. Sufficient equipments of guidance like as directional signs, fingerposts, variable message signs, and markings should be established to smooth and safe lane changes of drivers. 3. Snow melting systems should be established in bridges worried about freezing. 4. Tunnels must be not only satisfied standards for prevention of disasters (2004.11) and lighting rules (KSA 3703), but also established anti-freezing facilities in entrance and exit. 5. The drivers should have honed on their car lights.

The tire tread is contacted with road surface directly. It gives significant effect on the breaking conditions, traction, noise and so on. The tread having grooves with complex geometry is molded by shaping process. The flow behavior of tread rubber in a mold affects the quality of the tread and it leads to the running performance of automobile. In this study, the flow behavior of rubber in shaping process has been investigated by computer simulation. The objective of flow simulation is the design of tread shape based on the contact of rubber on the mold surface and flow behavior of rubber. Different sequences of contact of rubber on the mold surface and flow behavior of rubber are observed according to the shape of tread on the mold surface. It was verified that the shape of tread gives significant effect on the flow behavior of rubber. Different flow behaviors of rubber and sequential contact of rubber to the mold surface were observed according to the shape of tread on the mold surface. Therefore, we have identified that the shape of tread give a change in the flow behavior of rubber.

Since the four-wheel drive transmits the driving force to all four wheels, the traction with the road surface increases, thereby increasing the driving force. However, it has the disadvantage of lowering fuel efficiency. Therefore, four-wheel drive is commonly used as a method of converting to optional four-wheel drive when necessary while driving in two-wheel drive. This selective four-wheel drive converts the driving force by mechanically changing the electric signal sent by the driver in the transfer case. In this study, in order to mechanically change the electrical signal, a reducer is applied to the motor to increase the torque to perform the function. Therefore, in this study, a reduction mechanism applicable to the motor inside the transfer case applied to convert the drive is derived, and the reduction ratio applying the planetary gear type is optimized accordingly. And based on the derived reduction ratio, two sets of planetary gears using a ring gear in common were applied to develop a planetary gear tooth type in which the input shaft and output shaft are decelerated in the same phase. Optimization design was carried out.

도시화로 인한 불투수면적의 증가와 기후 변화로 인한 강우패턴의 변화 자연적 물순환 체계에 악영향을 미치며. 이를 해결하기 위하여 국내에서는 도시 내 빗물관리 및 비점오염원 저감이 가능한 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID)를 적용하고 있다. 건기시 도로, 주차장등 차량통행 및 유동인구가 많은 지역에서는 입자상 물질들이 많이 발생되어 노면에 축적되어 있다가 강우시 강우유출수를 통해 시설로 유입된다. 이로 인해 시설 내 오염물질 및 퇴적물이 축적되어 여재 공극막힘현상 및 침투율저하의 문제가 발생되어 시설 내 효율이 감소된다. 따라서, 레인가든의 장기 모니터링을 통해 시설 내 유입되는 오염물질의 성상 분석 및 시설 내부의 퇴적물 분석을 통해 LID시설 운영의 효율성 평가를 수행하였다. 모니터링은 강우시 모니터링과 건기시 집수구역, 침강지, 시설 상부, 중부, 하부 등 총 5곳에서 채취하여 분석을 수행하였다. 모니터링은 평균 선행건기 일수는 5.46±4.7 days, 평균 강우량은 14.31±11.4 mm, 평균 강우강도는 5.33±6.7 mm/hr의 강우사상에서 모니터링을 수행하였다. 시설 내 평균 유입수농도는 TSS 98.0 ± 32.7 mg / L, COD 133.6 ± 6.3 mg / L, TN 5.77 ± 4.05 mg, TP 0.54 ± 0.03 mg / L으로 분석되었다. 유입부 내 퇴적물 종류는 Sandy Clay Loam으로 나타났으며, Cr 0.36mg / kg, Cu 5.17 mg / kg and Pb 6.04 mg / kg으로 중금속의 함유량이 높은것으로 분석되었다. 퇴적물은 침강지 및 시설 유입부에서의 입자크기는 49-113㎛ 약 60%의 퇴적물이 축적되어 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 시설 내 침강지에서 50㎛ 이상의 입자들이 여과, 흡착 및 침전으로 인하여 40% 이상의 입자들이 제거되는 것으로 분석되었으며, 50㎛ 미만의 입자들은 시설 내 중간부, 유출부에서 제거되는 것으로 분석되었다. 침강지에서 유입수 대부분의 입자상물질들이 흡착 및 여과로 인한 제거가 이루어지기에 침강지 여재부는 넓은 표면적, 우수한 흡착능 및 여과율을 고려하여 선정하영 하며, 잦은 교체를 위하여 중량성이 낮은 우드칩 등이 적당한 것으로 사료된다.

Fine-size exposed aggregate portland cement concrete pavements (FEACP) have surface texture of exposed aggregate by removing upper 2$\sim$3mm mortar of surface of which curing is delayed by using delay-setting agent. FEACPs have advantages of maintaining low-noise and adequate skid-resistance level during the performance period than general portland cement concrete pavements. It is necessary to ensure the durability environmental loading to prevent unexpected distress during the service life of FEACP. In the process of curing, volume change accompanied change in by moisture and temperature could be an important cause of crack in concrete to construct for successful FEACP, The use of chloride containing deicer may accelerate defects of concrete pavement, such as crack and scaling. This study aim to evaluate environmental loading resistance of FEACP, based on the estimation of shrinkage-crack-control-capability by moisture evaporation and scaling by deicer in freeze-thaw reaction.

Crack sealing is a maintenance procedure that is commonly used to reduce pavement degradation. If cracks in pavements are not sealed, surface water penetration can reduce the strength of the sub-base layers, which can result in increased deflections of the pavement. Reduced strength of the sub-base also accelerates the deterioration of the surface, due to development of greater cracking and potholes. Crack sealing is performed to reduce water and debris penetration, thereby helping to maintain pavement structural capacity and limiting future degradation. The process of sealing cracks in pavements is however dangerous, costly, and labor-intensive operation. Labor turnover and training are increasing problems related to crack sealing crews, and as traffic volumes increase. Automating crack sealing can reduce labor and road user costs, improve work quality, and decrease worker exposure to roadway hazards. The main objective of this research is to develop an automated system for sealing cracks in pavement. Extension of the algorithms and tools presented in this research is also recommended for future study.
