Recent advanced sensors and communication technologies have been widely applied to advanced safety vehicle (ASV) for reducing traffic accident and injury severity. To apply the advanced safety vehicle technologies, it is important to quantify the safety benefits, which is a fundamental for justifying application. This study proposed a methodology for quantifying the effectiveness of the advanced driver assistant system (ADAS), and applied the methodology to lane departure warning system (LDWS) and automatic emergency braking system (AEBS) which are typical advanced driver assistant systems. When the proposed methodology is applied to 2008-2010 gyeonggi-province crash data, LDWS would reduce about 10~14% of relevant crashes such as head-on, run-off-the road, rollover and fixed-object collisions on the road. In addition, AEBS could potentially prevent about 50% of total rear-end crashes. The outcomes of this study support decision making for developing not only vehicular technology but also relevant safety policies.

The safety interval to prevent collision between trains in a train control system is based on the braking distance according to the emergency braking of the train. The evaluation of the braking performance is based on the longitudinal train dynamics or the commissioning test in the test track, but since the conditions such as the weakening of the adhesion coefficient between the wheel and rail can not all be considered, these conventional methods are not sufficient to design of the train control systems. Therefore, in this study, the Monte Carlo Method (MCM) which can consider various environments is used to analyze braking performance and limitations. The braking model is based on the air braking used in the emergency braking and is modeled to take into account the braking pressure, efficiency, friction coefficient, adhesion condition, and vehicle mass distribution. It is confirmed that braking performance can be improved by controlling the quality of braking device. In addition, the change of the braking performance was confirmed according to the vehicle constituting the train. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic information for designing safety clearance for the train control systems and as a basis for improving the braking performance of railway vehicles.

This paper investigates the accuracy of the vehicle pre-braking speed estimated based upon measured skidding distance. Driver ordinarily takes sudden braking when urgent situation is developed in the front or when the driver is involved in an unexpected situation, and the driver may be inflicted upon an accident depending on the required stopping distance. Among factors influencing the stopping distance of vehicle such as recognition response time of driver, performance of vehicle's braking device, and state of road surface etc, pre-braking speed is seemingly the most important influencing factor. Currently, in the investigating section of traffic accidents, the state of overspeed is determined by the pre-skidding speed calculated based on the length of skid mark. In order to identify the accurate cause of the accident, it is strongly recommended that estimation of pre-braking speed should be estimated taking into account speed reduction during transient time. In this study, we propose a method for estimating more accurate exact speed information of vehicle at the time of traffic accident. The outcomes from this study potentially help better understanding of the characteristics of vehicle for traffic safety in the future.

제동시 균형 문제나 약간 무거운 조향력등의 전륜구동장치을 설계하기 위한 단점들은 Negative 또는 Zero scrub Radius 의 현가장치를 가능케 하는 이론적 기술적 보완 및 해결이 되고 또한 X형 브레이크 파이프 개발로 한 회로 파열에서도 더욱 안정된 제동을 할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 (1) 중. 소형 승용차에서 절대적 비중을 차지하고 있는 실내 유효공간을 훨씬 크게할 수 있는 점 (2) 후륜구동에 비해 손쉽고 갑싸게 4륜 독립 현가장치가 가능하기 때문에 승차감에서 탁월한 개선이 이루어 진다는 점 (3) 우수한 직진(방향) 안정성과 선회성능을 얻을 수 있는 점 (4) 경량화 및 전동(轉動) 손실 감소에 따른 연비 향상 등의 커다란 장점으로 전륜구동차는 기술적인 면에서 후륜구동차에 비하여 그 격을 달리하고 있으며 몇 년 전부터 모든 자동차 회사가 신규 설계 개발중인 차는 전륜구동차로 밝혀지고 있으며 사용자의 전륜구동차에 대한 선호도는 계속 크게 증가할 것으로 보인다.

본 논문은 철도부하의 이동을 고려한 전력조류계산 알고리즘에 기반하여, 에너지 저장장치를 설치하였을 때 철도계통의 영향 해석에 관한 논문이다. 철도부하는 위치적 변화 뿐 만 아니라 기동-타행-제동의 운전모드의 변화에 따라 전력소비 패턴이 달라지는데, 제동 시에 발생하는 회생에너지를 에너지 저장장치를 이용하여 활용함으로서 에너지 절감 효과 및 가선전압 안정화를 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 서울지하철 2호선의 실계통에 대한 사례연구를 수행하여, 실계통에 에너지 저장장치를 적용함으로서 그 필요성을 증명하였다.

This paper describes the effect of air assisted fuel injection system(AAI) using compressed air to improve the performance of lean combustion engine. AAI is designed to promote fuel atomization and intake flow. In order to investigate the performance of engine with AAl, experiments are conducted varying the engine revolution speed, lean air-fuel ratio and intake manifold pressure. Compared with the original engine, the performance of the engine with MI is improved as the air-fuel mixture becomes leaner or the engine load becomes lower. The descreasing rate of BSFC is propotional to the relative air-fuel ratio and the lean misfire limit extended more than 0.2 relative airfuel ratio.

The solenoid valve of ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz on-off control. When the on-off valve is switched from open state to closed state, there are braking force deterioration, noise and vibration due to surge pressure in the wheel cylinder. In this study, identifies surge pressure in the braking process of ABS, and investigates the way to reduce the phenomenon. To reduce the surge pressure, PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control with high frequency of 20kHz was attempted. In conclusion, by using the results of this study for the pressure surge prediction, we could expect enhancement of braking performance in ABS.

The influence of braking force generated by one tire on vehicle dynamics was investigated by simulation and ground test. A 8 d. o. f vehicle model was developed for simulation. And a special device to apply brake pressure to individual wheel was built for vehicle test. As a result of corner braking test on straight driving, the dynamic responses such as yawrate, lateral acceleration and roll angle were produced in the vehicle, which were in a good agreement to the simulation results. This shows that comer braking used in VDC system can control vehicle dynamics to improve controllability and directional stability.

Recently, there have been efforts in many countries to reduce social expenses and casualties resulting due to car accidents. As such, ASS (active safety systems) are being researched and developed to prevent accidents and target mitigation. Among many useful active safety systems, it has been reported that commercial AEBS (Advanced Emergency Braking System) effectively prevents accidents and reduces casualties simultaneously. Accordingly, it is necessary to set Korean AEBS standards, and this research analyzes international AEBS standards for this necessity. In addition to the evaluation methodology of AEBS ECE Regulation, this study suggests traffic scenarios that occur frequently in domestic road environments, and provides an evaluation system for AEBS of the scenarios. Finally, the performance and safety of AEBS are evaluated through field test.

전자 제어식 미끄럼 방지 제동 장치(ABS, Anti-lock Brake System)를 장착한 차량의 실차 제동 시험은 시험용 차량을 비롯하여, 많은 분석장비를 필요로 한다. 이러한 고가의 장비는 구하기가 어려울 뿐만 아니라 사용방법을 학습하는 데에도 상당한 기간을 필요로 하므로, 개발중인 ABS에 대하여 적용해 보기에는 그 사용에 제약을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 개발중인 미끄럼방지 제동 알고리즘과 전자제어장치(ECU, Electronic Control Unit)를 대형 버스에 장착하여, 저 점착 노면에서 주행 시험을 시행하였고, 그 주행 기록의 분석을 위하여 DAS(Data Acquisition System)를 구현하였다. 개발 ABS 알고리즘 및 ECU의 기능과 성능 검증이 목적인 DAS는 부가적인 센서 및 고가의 장비를 사용하지 않고 제어보드와 휴대용 노트북 컴퓨터를 이용하였다. 고정밀도의 자료를 획득할 수는 없었지만, 개발 DAS를 이용한 차량 실차 제동 시험은 경제적이면서도 효과적인 ECU 및 알고리즘의 성능 분석을 이룰 수 있었다. 특히 개발 DAS는 제어 및 Data Acquisition을 동일한 보드를 사용하여 구현함으로써, ABS 장착 실차 주행 시험 결과를 제어알고리즘에 즉각적으로 반영시킨 수 있었다. 이러한 One Board System 및 On-Vehicle Programming을 이용한 방법은 개발 알고리즘의 빠른 Debugging 및 파라미터 조정(Tuning)을 가능하게 하였으므로, 실차 제동 시험을 위한 한정된 기간 내에 개발 ABS ECU 및 제어 알고리즘의 성능을 효과적으로 검증할 수 있었다.
