A TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a wireless communication system designed to monitor the pressure and temperature of pneumatic tires of a vehicle. In order to provide the aid in protecting a driver, this system reports tire pressure information to the driver of the vehicle. Since the wireless communication technique should be employed to transmit the TPMS data from each tire to signal processing unit in the vehicle, it suffers from interference signals from external electrical or electronics equipments. In this paper, we propose the TPMS interference cancellation technique based on GSC(Generalized Sidelobe Canceler), which does not have only the excellent performance like MVDR(Minimum-Variance-Distortionless-Response) but also has the low computational complexity comparing with MVDR. The performance of interference suppression is conformed by computer simulation examples.

In order to verify autonomous driving scenarios and safety, a lot of driving and accident data is needed, so various organizations are conducting classification and analysis of traffic accident types. In this study, it was determined that accident recording devices such as EDR (Event Data Recorder) and DSSAD (Data Storage System for Automated Driving) would become an objective standard for analyzing the causes of autonomous vehicle accidents, and traffic accidents that occurred from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed. Using the database system of IGLAD (Initiative for the Global Harmonization of Accident Data), approximately 360 accident data of EDR-equipped vehicles were classified and their characteristics were analyzed by comparing them with accident types of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)-equipped vehicles. It will be used to develop autonomous vehicle accident investigation guidelines in the future.

Recently, the automotive industry has been studied about driver assistance systems for helping drivers to drive their cars easily by integrating them with the IT technology. This study suggests a method of detecting lanes, robust to road condition changes and applicable to lane departure warning and autonomous vehicles mode. The proposed method uses the method of detecting candidate areas by using the Gaussian filter and by determining the Otsu threshold value and edge. Moreover, the proposed method uses lane gradient and width information through the Hough transform to detect lanes. The method uses road lane information detected before to detect dashed lines as well as solid lines, calculates routes in which the lanes will be located in the next frame to draw virtual lanes. The proposed algorithm was identified to be able to detect lanes in both dashed- and solid-line situations, and implement real-time processing where applied to Raspberry Pi 2 which is open source hardware.

Recently, as the number of high-height vehicles such as double-decker buses has increased, collision accidents have occurred in bridges and tunnels due to the deviation from the designated routes and driver's carelessness. In the case of the existing front collision warning system, it is limited to vehicles and pedestrians, so it is difficult to use it as a pass height warning system for the high height vehicles. In this paper, we propose a system that generates a warning by determining the correlation and time series characteristics of data for each segment using multiple lidar sensors and then determining the possibility of collision in the upper part of the vehicle. Also, the proposed system confirmed the proper operation through a real-time driving test and a system performance evaluation by the Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute.

This paper implements an integrated vehicle chassis system of ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) and LKS(Lane Keeping System) based on OSEK OS to vehicle operating system and analyzes its performance through experiments. In recent years active safety and advanced driver assistance system has discussed to improve safety of vehicle. Among the rest, We integrate ACC that controls longitudinal velocity of vehicle and LKS that assists a vehicle in maintaing its driving lane, then implement integrated control system in vehicle. Implemented control system uses OSEK/VDX proposed standard, which is aiming at reusability and safety of software for vehicle and removal hardware dependence of application software. Redesigned control system based on OSEK OS, which is supported by OSEK/VDX, can manage real-time task, process interrupt and manage shared resource. We show by results performed EILS(ECU-In-the-Loop Simulation) that OSEK OS-based integrated controller of ACC and LKS is equivalent conventional integrated controller of ACC and LKS.

Recently, the driver can be assisted by the advanced active safety devices such as ADAS from road traffic risks. With this system, driver and passenger may freed from can driving tasks or kept eyes on forward direction while on the road. Help from adoptive cruise control, auto parking and newly develped automated driving vehicles technologies, the driver positions will vary significantly from the current standard driver position during the travel time. On this hypothesis, the objective of this study is analyze the behavior and injuries of drivers in the event of frontal impact under these abnormal driver position. Based on the KNCAP frontal impact testing method, this simulation matrix was set-up with dummies of 5 th tile female Hybrid III dummy and 50 th tile male Hybrid III dummy. The small sedan type passenger car was modeled in this simulation. The series of simulation was performed to compare the injuries and behaviour of each dummy, varying the seating status and seat position of each dummy.

We present a nearby vehicle detection method in the adjacent lane using in-vehicle front view camera. Nearby vehicles in adjacent lanes show various appearances according to their relative positions to the host vehicle. Therefore, most conventional methods use motion information for detecting nearby vehicles in adjacent lanes. However, these methods can only detect overtaking vehicles which have faster speed than the host vehicle. To solve this problem, we use the feature of regions where nearby vehicle can appear. Consequently, our method cannot only detect nearby overtaking vehicles but also stationary and same speed vehicles in adjacent lanes. In our experiment, we validated our method through various whether, road conditions and real-time implementation.

Recent technological advances made a vehicle more intelligent to increase safety and comfort. An intelligent vehicle provides drivers with safety warning information through audible sounds, visual displays, and tactile devices. However, elderly drivers have been known to decrease the physical and cognitive abilities such as muscular strength, hearing, eyesight, short term memory, and spatial perception. Therefore, possible age-related deficits should be considered to design an effective warning system. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of advancing age on response performance on audible safety warnings which are widely used for alerting driving hazards. In order to understand the effect of age-related hearing loss and movement slowing, three sound characteristics (frequency, intensity, and period) and three age groups (younger, middle, and older) are considered. Data was drawn from 38 drivers who drove a simulated rural road in a driving simulator. Experimental results show that age influences driver's response performance. In conclusion, the appropriate range of a warning sound is suggested.
