Analysis of the interaction between the automated vehicles and manual vehicles is very important in analyzing the performance of automated cooperative driving environments. In particular, the automated vehicle platooning can affect the driving behavior of adjacent manual vehicles. The purpose of this study is to analyze the lane change behavior of the manual vehicles in automated vehicle platonning environment and to conduct the experiment and questionnaire surveys in three stages. In the first stage, a video questionnaire survey was conducted, and responsive behaviors of manual vehicles were investigated. In second stage, the driving simulator experiments were conducted to investigate the lane change behaviors of in automated vehicle platonning environments. To analyze the lane change behavior of the manual vehicles, lane change durations and acceleration noise, which are indicators of traffic flow stability, were used. The driving behavior of manual vehicles were compared across different market penetration rates (MPR) of automated vehicles and human factors. Lastly, NASA-TLX (NASA Task Load Index) was used to evaluate the workload of the manual vehicle drivers. As a result of the analysis, it was identified that manual vehicle drivers had psychological burdens while driving in automated vehicle platonning environments. Lane change durations were longer when the MPR of the automated vehicles increased, and acceleration noise were increased in the case of 30-40 years old or female drivers. The results from this study can be used as a fundamental for more realistic traffic simulations reflecting the interaction between the automated vehicles and manual vehicles. It is also expected to effectively support the establishment of valuable transportation management strategy in automated vehicle environments.

When most drivers take to the freeway, they don't necessarily pay attention to the geometric design. They expect proper design by depending on their own senses and recognition. When they evaluate the features of traveling on the freeway, they can think differently than engineers. The design needs to predict the exact speed of the driver to satisfy the driver's expectation, safety, pleasure and so on. This study categorized the factors influencing the speed of six freeways considering geometric and operational features to make a prediction model of speed. The model used multiple regression with these factors and produced statically appropriate results. This study utilized the principle component analysis and the quantification II analysis based on the image data of the satisfaction of the traveling environment collected through individual interviews. As a result, this study found the factors of satisfaction in a traveling environment. It made a satisfaction model of the traveling environment on freeways considering the change of driver's actual recognition and societal recognition using structural equations and the quantification II theory. Through the model made in this study, This model can present not only qualitative factors like satisfaction of traveling environment on freeways, but also the quantitative elements like speed. What is important is the evaluation of features of traveling on freeways reflected in the recognition and traffic environment felt by drivers.

We investigated the potential for wind-power generation using the wind produced by express trains. We built equipment to detect the wind velocity, including wind meters and a data analyzer. We considered various conditions that might change the wind. First, we measured the velocity and duration of the wind at three locations distinguished by the presence of a tunnel and a valley landscape. We analyzed the changes in the wind according to the geometric conditions. Also, we analyzed the changes in the wind according to three different heights relative to the train. We also compared the wind produced by a KTX train and an SRT train. Finally, we used the results to derive the wind power energy harvested from the wind and discuss the expected utility.

이 논문에서는 저비용 고효율 청소 로봇을 구현하기 위한 효율적 주행 기법을 발굴하기 위하여 다양한 주행 기법들을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션 도구를 이용하여 실험한 후 그 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 이 논문에서 저비용이라는 것은 전방에 하나의 근접 센서만을 갖는 단순한 구조의 청소 로봇을 의미하며, 이전 주행 경로나 장애물에 대한 영상 정보 등은 물론 좌우 상태에 대한 정보없이 진행 경로 상에 장애물의 존재 여부만으로 청소를 수행할 수 있는 청소 로봇을 의미한다. 이 논문에서 제안한 여러 주행기법들을 비교 분석한 결과, 바둑판식 주행 기법의 패턴에 주행 중 진행 방향을 0.05의 확률로 좌우 90도 방향으로 랜덤 변경하는 주행 기법이 가장 효율적인 주행 기법임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Convoy driving is one of the technologies of multi-vehicle cooperation driving along with platoon driving. All over the world, research on vehicle control mechanisms to maintain vehicle formation during convoy driving convoy driving has been actively conducted and in Europe's Autonet 2030 project has developed and demonstrated convoy driving services for highways. But, even the concept of convoy driving is still insufficient in Korea. Therefore, in this study, the concept of convoy driving service was established and scenarios and communication messages for service application on urban roads were developed. And its effectiveness was verified through simulation analysis. As a result of comparing and analyzing individual vehicle cooperative driving and convoy driving for the blind spot support service and dilemma zone safety support service, which are representative V2I cooperative driving services on urban roads, the number of conflicts(indicator of traffic safety) and delays and stops(indicator of traffic efficiency) are significantly improved in convoy driving compared to individual vehicle cooperative driving.

Autonomous vehicles are equipped with a wide rage of sensors such as GPS, RADAR, LIDAR, camera, IMU, etc. and are driven by recognizing and judging various transportation systems at intersections in the city. The accident ratio of the intersection of the autonomous vehicles is 88% of all accidents due to the limitation of prediction and judgment of an area outside the sensing distance. Not only research on non-signalized intersection collision avoidance strategies through V2V and V2I is underway, but also research on safe intersection driving in failure situations is underway, but verification and fragments through simple intersection scenarios Only typical V2V failures are presented. In this paper, we analyzed the architecture of the V2V module, analyzed the causal factors for each V2V module, and defined the failure mode. We presented intersection scenarios for various road conditions and traffic volumes. we used the ISO-26262 Part3 Process and performed HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) to analyze the risk of autonomous vehicle based on the simulation. We presented ASIL, which is the result of risk analysis, proposed a monitoring concept for each component of the V2V module, and presented monitoring coverage.

Road design should be conformed to the expectancy of drivers. The alignment such as long tangent followed by the sharp horizontal curve should be avoided for the road design consistency. Currently, operating speed profile model is generally used to check the consistency of the successive road alignments. In this model, the hypothesis about the drivers' behaviour on the long tangent followed by the sharp horizontal curve is also included. This study compares the hypothesized drivers' behaviour in the existing operating speed profile model with the actual drivers' behaviour observed at the two lane rural roads. In addition to this, comparison between the acceleration for the vehicles approaching and departing horizontal curves suggested by the foreign research and the value observed at this study was made, From this study, it was concluded that the hypothesis in the existing model was well representing the actual drivers' behaviour. The deceleration for vehicles approaching the horizontal curves was ranged $0.39{\sim}1.06m/s^2$ with the average of $0.66m/s^2$. The average acceleration for the vehicles departing horizontal curves was $0.22m/s^2$.
