In this paper, unmanned vehicle system and VFF algorithm development with vehicle dynamics is the main topic as a part of Intelligent Transportation System. Unmanned vehicle system is classified by vehicle system and control system. Authors used RC servo motor for longitudinal control via throttle angle, shift lever control, and brake control. For lateral control, authors used step motor, equipped with reduction gear. Unmanned vehicle has nine ultrasonic sensors in front of the unmanned vehicle. After the microcontroller computes the distance between unmanned vehicle and obstacle, the control computer calculates the steering angle enough to avoid the obstacle.

With the development of artificial intelligence and unmanned technologies, the remote surveillance/autonomous driving systems have been actively researched. For an effective performance analysis of the developed remote control system, it is important to record the data of it in real time. In addition, in order to analyze the performance between the control system and the remote system, the recorded data from them should be synchronized with time. In this paper we proposed a novel time synchronization method for the remote control system. The proposed remote control system satisfies the time difference of the recorded data within 1 ms, and we can reduce the time difference by using a CPU shielding and affinity setting. The performance of the proposed method was proved through various network data storage experiments. And the experiments confirmed that the proposed method can be applied to recording devices of unmanned ground vehicles and control vehicles. The proposed method will be used as a method for analyzing network data of UGV-R (Unmanned Ground Vehicle - Reconnaissance).

In this paper, we develop the ground risk model of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operation to quantify the ground risk when the UAV falls to the ground during the intended operation in case of UAV failure. The ground risk is computed by using the UAV failure probability, the probability of impact a person when UAV falls to the ground, the probability of fatality when UAV strikes the person. We mathematically derive each probability to evaluate the ground risk of UAV operation. Also, the population density map, building to land ratio map, car traffic database is used to estimate the number of people exposed to collision with UAV. Finally, we assumed the operations of a UAV with two paths in Daejeon city and evaluate the ground risk of each UAV operations.

For the successful operation of unmanned ground vehicles(UGVs), optimal path planning should be considered with trafficability analysis, threat analysis, and so on. From among these, trafficability analysis is immensely important for safeness of UGVs especially in the case of driving the off-road such as unpaved road, grassland, and open fields. Geographical information has a pivotal role in extracting data and measuring cost for specified regions of interest. In this paper, we review possibilities to apply Land Cover Map(LCM) as a new, fundamental source and propose a new generation method of trafficability analysis map for optimal path planning of UGV. The simulation results show that the proposed method significantly improve the previous method by applying LCM either alone or in combination with the other GIS.

While the era of driverless car has come, Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork(VANET) is getting important. Original VANET has a limit that cannot use computation power, storage space of On Board Unit(OBU) installed in a vehicle efficiently. VANET cloud computing(VCC) solves the limit to focus on using abilities of each vehicle. This article proposes VCC architecture for supplementing user addition and initial cloud creation that have been researched insufficiently.

스마트화 시대로 인해 주차장에서 운전자가 불편함을 줄여줄 수 있는 많은 기능들이 추가되었으나, 여전히 해결되지 못한 불편함은 많이 남아있다. 그 중 협소한 주차 공간에서 발생하는 접촉 사고와 차량을 주차하는데 많은 시간을 소모하는 불편함이 남아있다. 주차 공간 부족으로 인해 아파트 입구와 갓길, 소방차 지정구역에도 차량을 주차하는 등 많은 문제가 발생하고 있다. 아파트 입구의 주차된 차량들로 인해 운전자는 갑자기 튀어나온 어린이들을 발견하지 못하는 사고가 발생한다. 또한 갓길과 소방차 지정구역의 주차로 인해 화재 발생 시 소방차가 진입하지 못하여 화재 진압에 영향을 주어 2차 피해가 발생 하고 있다. 최근 몇 년간 부족한 주차 공간으로 인해 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위해 소방법 강화 및 지정 주차구역, 주차 요일제 등을 시행하고 있으나, 주차 공간을 증가 시키는 등 직접적인 주차 공간 해결에는 많은 노력을 기울이지 않고 있다. 이러한 사고 피해를 예방하기 위한 연구의 중심으로써 주차 구역으로 설정하였으며, 자동화와 편의성을 추가하고자 하였다. 무인 주차 시스템의 자동화 구현을 위해 아두이노 개발환경에 3가지 센서를 적용하였으며, 편의성을 높이기 위해 RFID카드를 이용한 차량 정보 인식 기능을 적용하였다.

For an unmanned vehicle to be driven on the off-road terrain, it is necessary to consider the vehicle's stability. This paper suggests a path tracking controller for simulation of real-time vehicle stability analysis. The path tracking controller uses the preview distance to track the given trajectory. The disturbance moment is estimated using the yaw moment observer, and this information is used for compensation in the yaw moment control. On a curved path, the vehicle's desired velocity is determined from the curvature of the path. Because the vehicle is equipped with six independent motor driven wheels, the driving torques are distributed on all the wheels. The effectiveness of the path tracking controller is verified using ADAMS/MATLAB co-simulation.

This study describes the design and verification of short range UWB(Ultra Wideband) imaging radar that is able to display high resolution radar image for front area of a UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle). This radar can help a UGV to navigate autonomously as it detects and avoids obstacles through foliage. We describe the relationship between bandwidth of transmitting signal and range resolution. A vivaldi antenna is designed and it's radiation pattern and reflection are measured. It is easy to make array antenna because of small size and thin shape. Aperture size of receiving array antenna is determined by azimuth resolution of radar image. The relation of interval of receiving antenna array, image resolution and aliasing of target on a radar image is analyzed. A vector network analyzer is used to obtain the reflected signal and corner reflectors as targets are positioned at grass field. Applicability of the proposed radar to UGV is proved by analysis of image resolution and penetrating capability for grass in the experiment.
