The vibration reduction process for the driver comfort of a forklift truck is studied in this study since the related driver comfort is a primary design target in the vehicle design recently. However, the underlying study for a vibration analysis regarding to the driver comfort is still an element stage. Thus, a preceding large work has to be needed to apply the CAE technology for the detail vehicle design, and it prevents the vehicle optimal design. To reduce the proceeding large works, the evaluated process and required data are comply with the accumulated trouble shooting experiences in this study. Since the driver comfort is a human related problem, the human vibration index associated with analysis vibration result is additionally introduced as a driver comfort judgement value.

신호교차로의 서비스수준은 미국의 HCM 방식을 전세계적으로 준용하고 있으며, 우리나라도 1985년 미국 HCM을 기본으로 하여 우리나라의 특성을 반영한 보정계수 값들을 수정하여 지금까지 사용하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 하지만 한국 도로용량편람의 모태가 된 미국 HCM은 이미 94년 1차 수정판에 이어, 이를 더욱 보완해서 HCM 2000을 발간하여 실용화 단계에 있는 반면 92년에 발간된 한국도로용량편람은 발간 이후 빠른 속도로 변화해온 국내의 교통, 도로, 차량 특성과 다양해진 도로시설 유형의 변화를 신호교차로 서비스수준 분석에 적절히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 신호교차로 서비스수준 결정에 관한 연구의 기초작업으로 기존의 신호교차로 서비스수준 분석방법의 문제점을 보완하기 위한 새로운 분석방법론을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 한국 도로용량 편람과 미국 HCM 2000의 서비스수준 분석방법론 부분을 면밀히 비교 분석하고 두 나라의 지체식에 포함된 공통적인 변수(주기(C), 포화도(v/c), 용량(c), 녹색시간비(g/C))에 대한 민감도 분석과 미국 HCM 2000에 추가로 도입된 변수들에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행함으로서 한국 도로용량 편람의 문제점을 고찰하고 운전자의 행태나 도로의 기하조건이 외국의 경우와는 다른 우리나라 실정을 반영한 한국형 신호 교차로 서비스수준 정립 방안의 필요성을 제시하였다.

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.

In this paper, we designed detachable T-DMB receiver antenna on the windshield of the car. Designed antenna is composed of only copper and feeders. To escape completely from driver's sight, it exists edging of windshield. Proposed antenna by considering body of properties and characteristics of the antenna input impedance have T-DMB frequency band(174~216 MHz). Proposed flexible antenna with Common Mode Stub is satisfied characteristics less than -5 dB antenna input return loss regardless of installation position on windshield.

Among the various functions of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), the most important and representative function to the safety of vehicle passengers is AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking system). In South Korea, laws are in progress from 2022 for making it mandatory for passenger vehicles to be installed. And as AEB-equipped vehicles continues to increase in the future, the demand for accident analysis related to the AEB function is expected to increase in the future. In order to find out the operating limits of AEB, it is necessary to consider the situations exceeding the standards covered by EuroNCAP. Therefore we have performed four experiments in this study, including situations encountered in real-word traffic conditions, i.e., an oblique stop of Global Vehicle Target (GVT) and ADAS sensor failures. These experimental results are expected to be of great help in accurate and reliable accident analysis by considering them when analyzing traffic accidents for ADAS vehicles.

Weather like rain, strong wind or snowfall may make the road condition deteriorated and sometimes induce traffic accidents, which lead to severe traffic congestion, thereby travelers may change their destinations elsewhere. Although origin-destination trip information is required to analyze transportation planning in urban area, there are little researches on the relationship between weather condition and travel patterns. This paper investigates the characteristics of travel patterns on expressway in rainy days of 2006. We compare the normal travel patterns with those of rainy days by the travel distance for each vehicle type. Results show that traffic volume and travel distance have been reduced in rainy days as we expect, and also show different travel patterns for weekday and weekend.

The headway of vehicles entering an intersection is closely related with the saturation flow rate and is a basic parameter required for determining the saturation headway and the start-up lost delay. Since such headway value reflects the drivers' behaviors and features of the intersection, all intersections don't have an equal value, but are affected by number and location of their lanes, changing types, local characteristics and time zone. Accordingly, this study attempted to suggest proper values on the basis of data by investigating headway in lanes. Number of exclusive through lanes was divided into single lane, double lanes and triple lanes, the locations of lanes were divided into inside lane, central lane and outside lane. As a result of investigating the headway, single through lane, double through lanes-inside lane, and triple through lane-outside lane showed as 1.73 sec., 1.71 sec. and 1.93sec., respectively. The result of calculating the area factor of business areas by fixing 1.00 for the residental area and applying relation between headway and saturation flow rate was 0.96. In the case of start-up lost delay lead dual left turn and directional separation were 1.41 sec. and 3.27 sec., respectively, showing the great difference. Therefore, different start-up lost delay according to changing type should be applied.

This research presents that exogenous characteristics of consumers affect eco-friendly vehicle preference. The car consumers are classifies into two groups by their characteristics - sex, age, and fuel expense. To find differences in the preference for eco-friendly vehicle, marginal utilities and compensate variations of vehicle attributes are estimated. The results suggest that there are significant differences in marginal utilities and compensate variations. However, the compensate variation is more reliable standard to test the preference differences because utility is a subjective measure. Men and old people have stronger preference for the fuel efficiency than women and young people. High fuel expense people have more preference for short time charging vehicles than low fuel expense people. In addition, gasoline vehicles are more attractive to young people than old people.
