This study evaluated the chance of driver's Psychophysiological load of occipital lobe at freeway merging area and compared with basic driving section. Ten persons of 8 men and 2 women were investigated at 3 basic section and 3 merging areas on the Youngdong freeway. It is found that driver's load in acceleration lane before merging is 2.21 times higher than the basic driving section. Further, driver's load for merging was maintained fur 4 seconds after merging. Particularly, driver's highest loading point in merging behavior was found to be 80m from the gore area.

This study has investigated a psychological status of optimal and pleasant driving condition by measuring various physiological signals using SCR(skin conductance response), PPG(peripheral plethysmograph), SKT(skin temperature) and HR(heart rate). The physiological response was measured during various simulated driving conditions. We developed a hardware and algorithm to measure and analyze the physiological response. The physiological signals has reflected the level of driver's tension or relaxation as well as the heart rate. The emotional responses of drivers were also measured and analyzed in this experiment. The result of the study can be used to design a system to enhance the driver's emotional satisfaction as well as to monitor the driver's safety and health condition.

Drivers passing through a tunnel fare some difficulties caused by the visual differences between outside and inside of the tunnel. The blackhole phenomenon at a tunnel entrance lone severely decreases the driver's visibility during the daytime. A counterbeam lighting is generally recommended for the prevention of it. This paper simulates an entrance zone with a blackhole phenomenon to verify the effect of counterbeam lighting. Even though the tunnel lighting is important, It Is not easy to consider many lighting alternatives at the stage of tunnel design due to the complexity of tunnel renditions. This paper is expected to contribute improving the visibility in tunnels, especially at the entrance zone.

An automatic transmission pattern with the fixed standard shift map can provide comfortable shift to driver. However it may be a complain to provide shift by the same shift pattern for driver because the inclination of a driver may be various. Therefore, in this paper, we design the decision module, which can decide the driving style using input to decide the inclination of the driver and driving manner. The goal of this paper is to calibrate the shift map according to the inclination of the driver using the decided driving manner from the proposed module. As a result, the proposed intelligent automatic transmission system can provide a suitable shift point and time to the driver. To verify the performance of the proposed system, the real data that is obtained from the road test will be used.

This study preformed a research about the traffic signal light that is adding supplementary green light to prevent driver's cognitive errors and plan safe driving through improving visual cognitivity of present traffic signal light. The result of comparing the present traffic signal light(three colors, four colors) with the traffic signal light(three colors, four colors) adding supplementary green light through car simulator has a significant difference. This result shows possibility that the traffic signal light adding supplementary green light can contribute in safety driving at a point that the traffic signal light advances a point of braking time when drivers didn't recognize by themselves. The findings in this study ca say that there is the meaning in showing a actual application possibility of this study finding by investigating a action of subjective response the moment compare driver's actual response.

자동차에 탑재된 부하 특히, 여름의 에어컨 사용과 같이 큰 부하가 걸릴 경우와 같이 차량내 전기적 부하의 변동이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 부하의 변동이 할로켄 램프를 사용하고 있는 전조등의 밝기를 변화시킨다. 이러한 밝기의 변동은 운전자가 인식할 수 있는 정도가 되며, 그로인해 운전자는 심리적으로 불쾌함을 느낄 것이다. 그러므로 차량 전조등의 밝기변화 패턴에 영향을 미치는 전조등의 전압과 시간을 변수로 하여, 순간적으로 밝기변동이 발생하였을 경우, 연령대별(20/60대)로 운전자가 느끼는 심리적인 반응(불쾌감)이 어떠한 경향을 갖는지를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 밝기변동 요소가 되는 전압변동 범위 ${\Delta}V$와 전압변동 시간 ${\Delta}t$로 순간적으로 전조등의 밝기가 변동하였을 때, 이러한 현상이 운전자의 심리적인 반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 20대와 60대를 대상으로 평가하였다. 이 결과 각각의 전압패턴에 따라 불쾌감이 다르게 나타났으며, 또한 20대와 60대가 전압패턴에 대해 경향을 유사하였으나, 평가치에 대해서는 상당한 차이를 보였다.

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.

There have been problems regarding decreased productivity and inherent safety risks due to apprentice facility operators receiving training without a standardized education system, especially for container crane operators. This study aims to propose alternatives to educate and manage container crane operators systematically in accordance with a job analysis. The Job analysis was professional panels and a Developing A Curriculum(DACUM) facilitator. The job description on the DACUM research chart for container crane operators contained 6 duties and 42 tasks. We surveyed problems with the existing education process for container crane operators; performed job analysis according to DACUM based on the survey results, and finally developed job description, education courseware and a summary table.

Advanced driver assistance system(ADAS) is a major technique in the intelligent vehicle field. The techniques for ADAS can be separated in two classes, i.e., methods that directly control the movement of vehicle and that indirectly provide convenience to driver. In this paper, we propose a novel system that gives a visual assistance to driver by translating a night road image to a day road image. We use the black box images capturing the front road view of vehicle as inputs. The black box images are cropped into three parts and simultaneously translated into day images by the proposed image translation module. Then, the translated images are recollected to original size. The experimental result shows that the proposed method generates realistic images and outperforms the conventional algorithms.

안전운전 지원 시스템 개발을 위해서 고려되어야 할 요소는 차량정보, 운전자정보, 외부 환경정보가 있다. 기존의 안전운전 지원 시스템 개발은 주로 차량의 종방향 제어, 횡방향 제어, 조향각 제어 등 차량으로부터 직접 추출한 주행정보를 이용하여 운전자의 안전유무를 평가하였다. 그러나 최근의 조사결과에 따르면 교통사고의 90%이상이 운전자 실수에 의해서 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이와 관련하여 차량의 주행 정보뿐만 아니라 실제 운전자가 주행 중에 행하게 되는 행동정보기반의 안전운전지원시스템 개발이 활발히 연구되어 지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 운전자의 행동정보를 이용한 안전운전 평가시스템의 설계 개념과 안전운전 평가시스템의 핵심 요소인 표준모델 구축 방법에 대해서 논의하고자 한다.
