This Paper proposes a vehicle detection system and a license plate recognition system from CCTV images installed on public roads. Since the environment of this system acquires the image in the general road environment, the stable condition applied to the existing vehicle entry / exit system is not given, and the input image is distorted and the resolution is irregular. At the same time, the viewing angle of the input image is more wide, so that the computation load is high and the recognition accuracy of the plate is likely to be lowered. In this paper, we propose an improved method to detect and recognize a license plate without a separate input control devices. The vehicle and license plate were detected based on the HOG feature descriptor, and the characters inside the license plate were recognized using the k-NN algorithm. Experimental environment was set up for the roads more than 45m away from the CCTV, Experiments were carried out on an entry vehicle capable of visually identifying license plate and Experimental results show good results of the proposed method.

This paper developed a method analyze drivers' response characteristics using spectral analysis with car following data. Cross-correlation function and cross spectrum are produced by Fourier transform from speed fluctuations of leading vehicle and following vehicle during the designated time ${\tau}$. Based on the analysis data, a process to calculate the reaction time and stimulus-adaption index of following vehicle was developed and 170 cases of field data was applied. It was reported average of 0.654 and 2.091 seconds of stimulus-adaption index and reaction time respectively. In conclusion, the developed indexes might contribute to enhance vehicle control of autonomous vehicle more efficient and safer.

A trial run of locally-developed tilting train has been in process on Chungbuk line since the test vehicle was first produced. For the system stabilization, interface verification among the systems including track, structure, catenary and signaling system, not to mention the rolling stock, is very crucial. Therefore, in this study, the dynamic rail force of the tilting (Hanvit 200), high-speed (KTX) and general (Mugunghwa) vehicle caused by driving in transition curve track was measured. And, it compared the tilting response with the other by using the measured rail force data in transition curve track, and then evaluated probability the range of load fluctuation for the variable dynamic vertical and lateral wheel load. As a result, a range of rail force by occurred a change of cant from the high-speed and general vehicle which had fixed bogie structure was distributed throughout small deviation. Otherwise, in case of the tilting train which was consisted of the pendulum bogie structure was distributed wide range about large deviation by changed of cant.

The forward collision of vehicles in high speed can cause a chain collisions and high fatality rate. Most of the forward collisions are caused by insufficient braking distance due to detection time of driver and safe distance. Also, accumulated detection time of driver is cause of chain collisions after the forward collision. The FVCWS prevents the forward collision by maintaining the safety distance inter-vehicle and reducing detection time of driver. However the FVCWS can cause chain collisions because the system that interacts only forward vehicle has accumulated detection time of driver. In this paper, we analyze forward and chain collisions of normal vehicles and FVCWS vehicles on static traveling scenario. And then, we analyze and compare V2V based FVCWS with them after explaining the system. The V2V FVCWS reduces detection time of driver alike FVCWS as well as remove accumulated detection time of driver by broadcasting emergence message to backward vehicles at the same time. Therefore, the system decrease possibility of forward and chain collisions. All backward normal vehicles and 3~4 backward FVCWS vehicles have possibility of forward and chain collisions in result of analysis. However V2V FVCWS vehicles almost do not chain collisions in the result.

It has been subject to question whether a conventional traffic signal controller can support efficient operation at grade intersections in which vehicles and tram lines cross concurrently. This study proposes a list of functional requirements for a traffic signal controller to support effective operation of trams at such an intersection. The considered details includes the combinations of geometric conditions at which vehicle, bus, and tram lines are aligned, the types of exclusive tram signals, and the combinations of various signal phases, including exclusive tram phases, which are currently undefined in the nation. The results suggest that the controller should be capable of dealing with the NEMA standard overlap relays and a quadruple-ring phase representation scheme.

본 논문의 목적은 링크통행시간 자료를 수집하는 시스템에서 소요 프로브차량대수에 영향을 주는 요소들을 규명하고. 최적의 소요 프로브차량대수를 결정하는 모형을 개발하는데 있다. 자가용승용차, 택시, 버스, 택배차량 등 여러 종류의 차량들이 프로브차량으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 일정한 정확도 이상의 교통정보를 수집하기 위해서 얼마나 많은 프로브차량이 필요한지에 대한 연구는 그다지 깊이 있게 이루어지지 않았다. 적정 소요 프로브차량대수는 링크통행시간 자료수집 기술 수집대상 링크의 공간적 범위, 프로브차량의 종류 및 운행 특성, 자료수집 시스템의 신뢰도, 수집되는 자료의 정확도 등에 영향을 받게 된다. 소요 프로브차량대수를 결정하는 링크당 평균 통행시간 자료수, 프로브차량 밀도의 최소 확률, 그리고 자료 미수집링크의 허용비율의 3가지 결정기준이 정의되었다. 또한 이러한 결정기준에 대해 소요 프로브차량대수를 산출하는 모형이 개발되었다. 일반적으로 주기당, 링크당 평균 필요 통행시간 자료수$(d_R)$, 단위길이당 프로브차량의 대수 또는 밀도$(n_{min} or {\alpha})$, 일정 프로브차량밀도 이상의 확률($\beta$), 그리고 자료 미수집링크의 비율($\gamma$)이 클수록 소요 프로브차량대수는 증가한다. 민간 교통정보회사의 통행시간 수집시스템에서 소요 프로브차량대수를 산정하는 사례연구가 수행되었으며, 여러가지 조건에서 소요 프로브차량대수가 산출되었다.

Safety improvement has been a continuous challenge, especially at toll gate of express highway where traffic conflict often occurs due to frequent lane change by drivers of "Hi-pass" lane and regular "TCS" lane. As a part of research on safety at toll gate, this study videotaped traffic conflict data between vehicles using centrally located "Hi-pass" lane and regular "TCS" lane and analyzed accident risk. According to the correlation analysis of vehicle speed, relative vehicle speed, and sudden vehicle deceleration rate due to traffic conflict, when the relative vehicle speed between centrally located "Hi-pass" lane and regular "TCS" lane increases, sudden vehicle deceleration rate also increases. One of the findings is that centrally located "Hi-pass" lane at toll gate shows different location for traffic conflict, and frequency of traffic conflict and the relative vehicle speed was also different based on vehicle lane use. TA (Time to Accident) analysis shows that accident rate is high at toll gate where Hipass lane is installed in center lane, when the occurrence of sudden vehicle deceleration and deceleration time of vehicles rise for vehicles on "Hi-pass" lane. Furthermore, if the expressway entrance/exit point is closely located to toll gate, TA showed a low value. Thus, it is necessary to reduce the relative vehicle speed in order to improve safety. The Study presents reduction of the relevant vehicular speed and prevention of accidents at the centrally installed "Hi-pass" lane as an important strategy for safety improvement at toll gate.

신 차종의 개발 시, 기존 차량 모델을 사용하여 재 설계하는 방식에 의해 전례 없이 빠르게 차량 개발을 수행하고 있다. 또한 대부분의 이들 후속 차량은 공통 플렛폼 상에 설계되고 있으며, 일반적으로 충격, 구조 건전성, 생산 타당성 검토 등의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션은 개발 프로세서 초기 단계에서 행하여 지고 있으나. NVH 엔지니어링은 차량 개발 프로세스의 매우 중요한 과정으로 되어 있음에도 불구하고, 실내 소음, 진동 승차감, 피로 수명 예측 등은 사용되는 해석 모델의 크기 및 복잡성으로 인하여 이들 성능 특성 평가 및 최적화는 아직 도전 과제이며, 본 논문에서는 몇몇 선진 OEM에서 수행되고 있는 NVH 개발 프로세스와 이를 가능케 하는 기법을 소개한다.
