VMS are installed in many Korean highways in oder to give drivers informations such as travel time to destination, congestion and Incident situation. However, some guidelines for install VMS are restricted in only geometric factors although human factors considering driver behavior are very important to affect the VMS installation. Therefore, this paper are focusing on developing and verifying the discriminant model for VMS installation considering human factors. As a result, following outputs are obtained ; (1) developing the discriminant model using human factors of driving simulation experiments in oder to predict driver reading VMS messages safely detour highway. (2) proving that driving experiences in highway, personal driving history, vehicle speed orderly affects VMS installation (3) verifying predictability of developed model by comparing the real values with predicted values. (4) suggesting that VMS should be installed off 3.2Km from the I.C. of rural highway.

본 논문에서는 스마트카의 핵심과제인 텔레매틱스와 자동차의 기술융합을 통해 더욱더 향상된 운전자의 안전과 편의를 제공하는 차량 HMI(Human Machine Interface) 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 차량에 장착된 카메라로 촬영한 도로의 이미지를 실시간으로 레퍼런스 데이터베이스와 매칭하여 도로를 인식하는 기술을 사용한다. 매칭된 레퍼런스 이미지와 운전자 맞춤 텔레매틱스 정보를 합성한 증강현실 영상을 운전자의 시선에 보이는 실제 도로와 지형의 모양에 맞추어 HUD(Head-Up Display)에 투사하는 매핑 기술을 통해 운전자가 운전 중 항시 도로에 집중하여 안전운행을 할 수 있도록 고안하였다.

ETC가 보급되면 다양한 요금을 설정할 수 있다. 요금의 다양화는 이론적으로 다른 운전자에게 다른 요금을 부과한다는 차별요금을 의미한다. 차별요금은 그 이름과는 달리 잘 설정한다면 이용자인 운전자에게나 유료도로 운영자 모두에게 이익을 주는 것이다. 요금다양화를 잘 이용하기 위해서는 유료도로 운영자에 대한인센티브 부여가 중요하고, 여기에 주력 할 필요가 있다.

We studied drivers sight and physical status change by setup type of road lighting system. Influences on drivers emotional and motional change of lighting condition was investigated and function of road lighting setup position at night was analysed. Specially we analyzed influences of line type low hight lighting have influence on driver sight.

Recently, there is a growing interest in promoting safe and convenient roadway and traffic conditions for elderly drivers. This paper analyzed the driving characteristics, self recognition, and any inconvenience of elderly drivers over age 65 through an extensive survey, and drew some action plans to improve the driving conditions for elderly drivers. Survey results showed that the major trip purposes of the elderly driver were found to be commuting(50%) and business(33%), and this pattern was similar to the general drivers. The elderly drivers are interested in "safety", but "brand recognition" was the more important factor for the general drivers in the process of vehicle selection. The elderly drivers had no technical skill difference in driving as compared to the general drivers, but they fully recognized the physical deterioration such as reaction time and sight distance. In addition, the elderly drivers had a tendency to feel psychological contraction as to high workload driving conditions, thus it was necessary to make safe driving conditions by improving the design elements of traffic control devices on the roadways including visibility.

Highway design criteria are considering roadway safety and smooth driving maneuver. However, a certain highway alignment within design criteria often leads drivers to undesirable situation due to the differences between the original intention of design criteria and the unintended result of drivers' cognition. The differences between them often result in traffic accidents. In order to reduce accident process, highway safety facilities are installed on those roadway sections. However, the relationship between highway environments and human factors has not been deeply studied in Korea. In this study. vertical roadway sections are constructed with 3-D graphical tools. This vertical roadway sections are simulated on a driving simulator in order to identify the differences of drivers' cognition on different roadway environments. Based upon the collected data from the driving simulator, canonical correlation analysis and canonical discriminant analysis of quantification theory II have been performed in order to figure out impacting factors on the degree of roadway safety. Also, based upon quantification theory I. the relationship between roadway safety facilities and the degree of safety has been analyzed.

Road design should be conformed to the expectancy of drivers. The alignment such as long tangent followed by the sharp horizontal curve should be avoided for the road design consistency. Currently, operating speed profile model is generally used to check the consistency of the successive road alignments. In this model, the hypothesis about the drivers' behaviour on the long tangent followed by the sharp horizontal curve is also included. This study compares the hypothesized drivers' behaviour in the existing operating speed profile model with the actual drivers' behaviour observed at the two lane rural roads. In addition to this, comparison between the acceleration for the vehicles approaching and departing horizontal curves suggested by the foreign research and the value observed at this study was made, From this study, it was concluded that the hypothesis in the existing model was well representing the actual drivers' behaviour. The deceleration for vehicles approaching the horizontal curves was ranged $0.39{\sim}1.06m/s^2$ with the average of $0.66m/s^2$. The average acceleration for the vehicles departing horizontal curves was $0.22m/s^2$.

When the drivers try to read an information on road signs, they can reach their destinations successfully. In this situation, human factors, road signs and geometric condition regarded as the most important factors for a safe driving should be a well-balanced relationship mutually. This research aims to prove the factors obstructing a safe driving, while drivers try to read an information on road signs for the next destination. For this sake, driving simulator was used and human factors, road signs etc. were considered in this experiment. The statistical analysis indicated what factors disturb a safe driving. The probability function using a Logistic Model was presented in this study. This result and experience will be used as a basic data in designing better road signs.

Driving maneuvers in car-following are affected not only by the factors related to road and traffic conditions, but also by factors related to drivers' cognition to them. This paper attempts to analyse drivers' car-following distance tests on road characteristics. Driving maneuvers are directly observed by video recorder sets in the vehicle. At the same time drivers are interviewed about their cognitive degree of car-following distance according to a given level of cognitive language. As a result, linguistical cognition of car-following distance is well fitted in with Weber-Fechner's law. This paper suggests a modeling method that takes into account the driver's cognition for acquiring traffic visible information on driving maneuver.
