The main function of the Forward Vehicle Collision Warning System (FVCWS) is to warn a driver when he or she experiences dangerous situations caused by a forward vehicle. Warning distance algorithms under same dangerous circumstances are often various depending on automobile manufacturers and component suppliers. Human factors also should be considered to warn the driver at an adequate warning distance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system for evaluating the pertinent warning timing in an identically dangerous situation. The system consists of sensors for measuring speed and acceleration of subject vehicle and target vehicle, controllers to follow the velocity profile properly, and wireless telecommunication equipments for receiving or transmitting the measured data in a real-time. According to actual field tests, it is shown that the developed system is suitable to evaluate warning distance of FVCWS.

RCAR low speed impact test estimates repair cost of the impacted vehicle. In this study, for a mid-size vehicle front body model, structural performance for RCAR low speed impact were analyzed with changing the bumper stay shape and size. First, for improving the impact load transfer mechanism to side member the stay rear section shape at connecting area with side member was modified and the stay outer was redesigned to be normal to the barrier. Next, the investigation on stay thickness effect was carried out and the performances of several models with different forming shape were compared. The final design showed 13mm decrease in the maximum barrier intrusion distance and greatly reduced side member deformation. Additional analyses explained the validity of the final design.

This paper describes modeling and simulation of automotive forward collision warning and avoidance system using CASE(Computer-Aided Systems Engineering) tool. The system is composed or many sensors, a controller, warning devices, brakes and etc. The system was modeled by one activity chart, fourteen state charts and one module chart. Rear-end collision scenarios was generated by Simulink and used to support Stalemate model. The resulting model was used to evaluate the correctness of function and behavior of the system. A simulator for the system has been designed and used to validate the model under realistic operating conditions in the laboratory. To model and simulate the system's functionality and behavior brings clarity to system design early in the system development.

에어백 관련기술은 차체 충돌특성 평가, 승객거동분석, 좌석벨트/조향축/에어백의 조화설계 등을 포함하는 시스템 엔지니어링 기술과 충돌감지센서, 가스발생기, 모듈 등을 포함하는 주요 기능 부품의 설계 및 제조기술로 구분된다. 이 중 시스템 엔지니어링 기술은 국내의 완성차 업계의 노력에 의하여 선진국의 수준에 근접하고 있으나 부품의 설계 및 제조기술은 매우 취약한 상황이다. 80년대 후반부터 각국의 에어백 관련 특허 출원 건수가 급증하고 있으며 새로운 기능의 부품들이 속속 개발되고 있다. 에어백 기술의 발전방향은 소형화, 경량화, 저렴화로 요약된다. 차량의 전방 충돌에 대비한 에어백이 주종을 이루고 있으나 측면 충돌에 대비한 side bag, 뒷자석 승객을 보호하기 위한 rear bag 등이 개발되고 있고 최근에는 버스 등 대형차량이나 모터사이클 등에도 에어백을 부착하기 위한 연구가 추진되고 있다. 에어백은 충돌센서(crash sensor), 가스발생장치(inflator), 공기주머니(bag), 덮개(cover), 배선(wire harness) 등으로 구성된다. 이들 중에서 공기주머니, 덮개, 가스발생장치를 결합한 부분 조립품을 모듈(module)이라고 부르고 있다. 이하에서는 에어백을 구성하는 주요 기능부품들의 종류, 특성과 기술개발 동향을 알아보기로 한다.

이 연구에서는 선박이 군집을 이뤄 항해하는 방법으로, 추종 선박이 리더 선박의 궤적을 따라 항해하는 추종 알고리즘을 구현하고, 성능 검증을 위해 소형 RC 모형 보트를 사용하여 해상 실험을 수행하였다. 이 알고리즘은 추종 선박이 리더 선박의 궤적을 추종점으로 저장하고, 추종점까지의 목표 침로를 계산하여 추종하는 방법이다. 목표 침로는 시선각 유도법칙을 통해 계산하였으며, 목표 침로를 추종하기 위해 PD 제어를 적용한 침로 제어기를 구현하였다. 또한, 전방 선박과의 충돌을 방지하기 위해 전방 선박과의 거리에 따라 속력을 제어하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 구현된 알고리즘을 검증하기 위해 해상 실험을 진행하였으며, 결과를 분석하였다.

The deformed degree of car body varies largely with the collision part from side collision of car-to-car. In case of deformation of car body caused by collision, the movement is different as speed energy changes to strain energy. Generally, in the analysis of traffic accident, the movement of car after the collision is analyzed by law of conservation of motion and the error of energy absorption rate along the deformation of car body can be calibrated by inputting coefficient of restitution, but it is current situation that coefficient of restitution applied by referring to the research results of forward collision and backward collision because the research results of side collision is rare. Vehicle model of finite element method applied by structure of car body and materials of each component was analyzed by explicit finite element method, and coefficient of restitution and collision detection time along contact part of side collision was drawn by analyzing the results. Analysis result acquired through the law of conservation momentum by applying finally-computed coefficient of restitution and crash detection time compared to collision result of actual vehicle. As a result, the reliability of analysis was higher than the existing analysis method were acquired when applying the drawn initial input value that used finite element method analysis model.

최근 차량 충돌 방지를 위한 다양한 기술이 상용화되고 있다. FMCW 기반의 레이더 시스템은 구현의 용이성으로 많은 상용차에서 전면 충돌 방지 시스템에 적용되고 있다. 측면 충돌 방지를 위한 BSD(Blind Spot Detection)와 차선변경 보조 시스템(LCA, Lane Change Assistant system)에서는 전방 레이더보다 인식거리가 줄어들고 갱신율이 낮아지므로 고속 FFT 등을 수행하는 신호처리부를 저가격으로 설계가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 TI사의 MCU인 F28335를 사용하여 근거리를 인식하는 신호처리부를 설계하였다. 이 MCU는 16채널 12bit ADC와 68KB RAM 및 512KB 플래시 메모리를 내장하고, 150MHz 부동소수점 연산을 지원하여 단일 칩으로 신호처리부의 구현이 가능하다. 구현된 시스템은 20m내외의 거리에 있는 장애물에 대하여 10Hz로 갱신이 가능하여 BSD를 위한 기본 기능이 확인되었다. 이러한 구현은 이전의 고가의 DSP나 FPGA를 사용하지 않고 15$이내의 단일 MCU와 간단한 아날로그 회로로 설계되어 저가격의 시스템으로 상용화가 가능할 것이다.

Purpose: We evaluated the correlation of the anatomic parameters of the acromion those represent on the magnetic resonance image (MRI) of impingement syndrome. Materials and Methods: From June, 2004 to December, 2005, 71 cases were surgically proven to be impingement syndrome, and the anterior acromial hooking angle, the lateral acromial hooking angle (AAHA and LAHA) and the acromial hooking index (AHI: the sum of the AAHA and LAHA) were compared to 16 control cases. At the same period, 55 cases were surgically proven to be partial or full thickness rotator cuff tear, and age, gender and twelve anatomic parameters, including the acromial type, the acromial angle, the anterior covering, the acromial slope, the AAHA, the lateral acromial angle, the acromial torsional angle, the lateral acromial angulation, the LAHA, the lateral covering, the acromiohumeral distance and the AHI were assessed. Results: The AAHA and AHI were increased as impingement syndrome proceeded. The acromial type and acromial angle, and the AAHA, LAHA and AHI showed significant differences between the controls and the rotator cuff tear patients on univariant analysis. On multivariant analysis, gender was most strongly correlated with rotator cuff tear. Age, AAHA and the acromial angle showed similar correlation, respectively. Conclusion: The coronal acromial shape is correlated with rotator cuff tear, and it is important to correct the lateral acromial shape when performing acromioplasty.
