It is important to estimate objectively in the driving test. Especially, the driving test is examined by totally driving ability, rule observation and situational judgement. For this, a grading automation system for driving test was presented by using GPS, sensor data and equipment operation informations. This system is composed of vehicle mounted module, automatic grading terminal, data controller, data storage and processing server. The vehicle mounted module gathters sensor data in the car. The terminal performs automatic grading using the received sensor data according the driving test criterion. To overcome the misposition of vehicle in the map due to GPS error, we proposed the automatic grading system by map matching method, path deviation and return algorithm. In the experimental results, it was possible to grade automatically, display the right position of the car, and return to the right path under 10 seconds when the vehicle was out of the shadow region of the GPS. This system can be also applied to the driving education.

A room scale fire test was done for interior materials from a subway vehicle installed within an ISO 9705 fire test room. The interior materials are the old ones which were made before the new fire safety guideline of subway vehicles. The output of ignition burner was increased in controlled steps to CEN/TS 45545-1. The objectives of this interior fire test are to assess the fire performance in terms of ignition and flame spread on interior lining materials and to provide data on an enclosure fires involving subway vehicle interior materials that grow to flashover. Temperatures, heat flux and heat release rate variations verse time of the test are measured. Heat release rate is compared with that of calculated by modified flaming area based summation method. These test results will be used for verification of CFD fire simulation of full subway vehicle.

This paper presents an algorithm for autonomous landing approach of a unmanned aerial vehicle. The main purpose of the autonomous landing approach in this study is to help a safe landing at night. From any initial position of the aircraft when this function is engaged, a flight path command is generated from the initial position. The shortest combination of an initial circular arc, a straight line segment, and a final circular arc is chosen for the flight path that will lead the aircraft to one end of runway for a landing. The algorithm is initially validated through numerous simulations with various initial conditions of aircraft. Then it is successfully validated through a number of flight tests.

It has been reported in Korea that surface slope failures in weathered soil are mainly caused by downward infiltration due to rainfall. These failures are triggered by the deepening of the wetting band in soils accompanied by a decrease in matric suction induced by the water infiltration. So, a need exists that these trends of wetting path in gneiss weathered soils, which is commonly found in Korea, are assessed by phenomenological approach. In this paper, numerical analyses of unsaturated soil slope under rainfall conditions are presented based on the wetting path soil-water characteristic curve in the laboratory. As the field SWCC matches well with the wetting path of the laboratory SWCC from the literatures, it seems reasonable to adopt the laboratory wetting SWCC as an upper boundary condition in the assessment of unsaturated slope instability.

In 2017, multimodal transportation tests for evaluating road, sea, and rail transport were performed by research institutes in the US, Spain, and the Republic of Korea. In this study, acceleration and strain data determined through road and sea tests were analyzed. It was investigated whether the load generated for each transport mode was amplified or attenuated according to the load transfer path. From the results, it was confirmed that the load transfer characteristics differed according to the transportation mode and loading path. The effects of strain determined through each test on the structural integrity of the spent nuclear fuel were also investigated. It was found that the magnitude of the measured strain had a negligible effect on the structural integrity of the spent nuclear fuel, considering its fatigue strength. The results for the acceleration and strain data analyses obtained in this study will be useful for scheduled domestic transportation tests under normal transport conditions.

무인잠수정이 원하는 경로를 추종할 수 있도록 안정적인 운항제어를 수행하기 위해서는 잠수정의 동역학적 특성을 정확히 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 수중에서 거동하는 무인잠수정의 동역학적 특성은 제어입력뿐만 아니라 유체력계수에 의해 주로 결정되므로, 이러한 계수값을 정확하게 아는 것이 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 유체력계수는 PMM 시험과 같은 실험적 방법을 통하여 얻게 되지만 실험방법의 어려움과 실험장비들의 부정확성으로 인한 오차에 의하여, 얻어진 값들의 신뢰성이 많이 저하된다. 계수값들을 구할 수 있는 다른 방법으로는, 확장칼만필터 등과 같은 모델기반 추정 알고리즘을 통하여 유체력계수를 추정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 확장칼만필터를 이용하여 유체력계수를 추정하도록 하였으며, 설계된 추정 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 기존에 수행된 PMM 시험에 의해 얻어진 유체력계수의 실험값과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 만타형 무인잠수정을 이용하여 원하는 경로를 추종할 수 있도록, 추정된 유체력계수를 사용하여 수심제어 및 방향제어를 위한 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 설계하였으며, 충분한 정확도를 가지고 원하는 경로를 추종함을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

This paper presents a decentralized guidance algorithm for swarm flight of fixed-wing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Considering swarm flight missions, we assume four representative swarm tasks: gathering, loitering, waypoint/path following, and individual task. Those tasks require several distinct maneuvers such as path following, flocking, and collision avoidance. In order to deal with the required maneuvers, this paper proposes an integrated guidance algorithm based on vector field, augmented Cucker-Smale model, and potential field methods. Integrated guidance command is synthesized with heuristic weights designed for each guidance method. The proposed algorithm is verified through flight tests using up to 19 small fixed-wing UAVs.

A new controller which can achieve the asymptotic tracking is proposed for the nonlinear system having a uncertainty in the input coefficient. A high gain observer is used to estimate the state variables when the nonlinear system has a modeling uncertainty. A variable structure control is used to achieve an asymptotic tracking, while ultimate boundness was achieved in the previous work. A Lyapunov analysis is used to justify the our proposal. The performance of proposed method is demonstrated via simulation.

A lunar lander demonstrator developed for the purpose of demonstrating lunar landing technologies recently in Korea. The thruster control system of the lunar lander demonstrator adopted the main thrusters for altitude control and the reaction thrusters for attitude control. In this paper, we propose a path tracking controller base on Euler angles. The control signals of the controller are of continuous type. And Pulse Width Modulator(PWM) is adopted to provide On/Off signals. We perform MATLAB simulation for evaluating the path tracking performance and the final landing velocity of the lunar lander demonstrator.
