Although emission regulations have been gradually strengthened in the past decade, the road transport section remains the most important source of NOx emission in air pollution. One reason is that there has been an increase in the proportion of diesel vehicles and in the volume of traffic. In addition, the certification procedure for standard emission limit does not sufficiently reflect real traffic condition and various driving patterns. Therefore, the European Commission(EC) has recently come up with the RDE-LDV(Real driving emissions-light duty vehicle) regulations, and the Ministry of Environment in Korea has been conducting research on evaluating RDE-LDV with PEMS(Portable Emission Measurement Systems). According to the trip requirements of the 2nd RDE package announced by the EC, the objectives of the present study include the development of Korean RDE routes to reflect domestic traffic and road conditions. Based on the results, both RDE routes are in correct compliance with RDE-LDV regulations, including trip requirements and trip dynamics. KOR-NIER Route 1, in particular, has a higher driving load in rural driving with regard to excessive gradient of elevation compared to KOR-NIER Route 2, including relatively plane rural driving.

By changing the bulky monolithic services architecture to a microservices-based architecture, industries are managing the rising complexity of Autonomous Vehicles. However, the underlying communication mechanisms for the utilization and distribution of these microservices are incapable of fulfilling the requirements of the futuristic AV, because of the stringent latency requirements along with intermittent and short-lived connectivity issues. This paper proposes to tackle these challenges by employing the revolutionary information-centric networking (ICN) paradigm as an underlying communication architecture. This paper argues that a microservice approach to building autonomous vehicle systems should utilize ICN to achieve effective service utilization, efficient distribution, and uniform service discovery. This research claims that the vision of an information-centric microservices will help to focus on research that can fill in current communication gaps preventing more effective, and lightweight autonomous vehicle services and communication protocols.

도로표지는 도로상에서 도로이용자가 원하는 목적지까지 쉽게 도착할 수 있도록 안내해 주는 기능을 갖는 도로부속물로 꼭 필요한 곳에, 눈에 잘 띄도록, 간단 명료하게 의미가 전달될 수 있도록 설치되어야 한다. MUTCD (Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices)의 교통통제설비의 기본요건처럼 무엇보다도 표지판을 보고 필요한 행동을 취하는데 있어서 안전과 시인성이 확보되도록 여유 있게 설치되어야 한다. 그러나, 우리의 표지의 설치 및 운영상황은 그렇지 못하다는 데에서 본 연구는 시작되었다. 시인거리측면을 중심으로 우리나라와 외국 여러 나라의 그것을 비교한 결과, 우리의 규정에서는 판독거리의 중요한 변수인 표지판 정보수가 고려되지 않았음이 드러났다. 따라서, 본고에서는 정보수에 초점을 맞추어 속도와 정보수, 주행 차로 등의 변수를 고려한 표지판 시인거리 측정실험을 하였다. 실험은 현재 국도상에 설치되어 있는 표지판을 대상으로 GPS(Global Positioning System) 수신기를 이용하여 시인거리를 측정하여 진행하였다. 그 결과 실제 시인거리가 현재의 도로표지규정에 의한 시인거리와 다소 차이가 있음을 발견할 수 있었고, 판독거리에서 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수는 속도 > 정보수 > 주행차로의 순임을 분석할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 한 개의 물리적 표지내에 정보수가 많은 우리나라의 표지판에 현실적인 시인거리를 고려한 설치가 유도될 수 있을 것으로 기대되고, 향후 도로표지규정을 개정할 때에도 이 연구결과를 반영한 현실적인 규정의 재정립이 기대된다. 또한 표지판의 실제 크기, 글자 및 문안의 크기는 물론 판의 크기 및 여백의 설정도 재산정될 필요가 있으며 이에 대한 추후 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

This article aims at the study on Improvement of legal System which is related to automated vehicles in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. Legal aspects of driving automation have two view points. One is to permit a automated vehicle, the other is to regulate the behavior of driver on the road. Signifying elements of the 4th industrial revolution are IoT, AI, big data, cloud computing etc. Automated vehicles are the imbodiment of those new ICT technologies. The vehicle management act(VMA) rules about vehicle registration and approval of vehicle types. VMA defines a automated vehicle as a vehicle which can be self driven without handling of driver or passenger. Vehicle makers can take temporary driving permission for testing and research the driving automation. Current definition of automated vehicle of VMA is not enough for including all levels of SAE driving automation. In the VMA must be made also a new vehicle safty standard for automated vehicle. In the national assembly is curruntly pending three draft bills about legislation of artificial intelligence. Driving automation and AI technologies must be parallel developed. It is highly expected that more proceeding research of driving automation can be realized as soon as possible.

Current roads were designed and constructed based on the design criteria and thus those were overly simplified drivers' needs. The road criteria do not suggest the desirable range of the design values but suggest the minimum requirements for the road design. Therefore, a completed road design based on the design criteria does not always guarantee the best design in terms of safety and it sometimes violates drivers' expectation. Therefore, the ROSSAV(ROad Safety Survey and Analysis Vehicle) is being developed by the KICT to evaluate road safety and increase driving safety. In this paper, the image capture system was described in detail. The image capture system is consisted of two front view cameras, two side down-looking cameras and a synchronization device. Two front view cameras were used to take a picture of road and road facilities at the driver's viewpoint. Also, two side down-looking cameras were used to capture road surface image to extract lane markings. A synchronization device were used to generate image capturing signal at the fixed distance spacing huck as every 10m. The front view images could be used to calculate and measure highway geometry such as shoulder width because every image is saved with it's locational information. And also the side down looking images could be used to extract median lane mark which representing road alignement efficiently.

In extreme environment regions, unmanned rovers equipped with various sensors and devices are being developed for long-term exploration on behalf of humans. On the other hand, due to the harsh weather conditions and rough terrain, the rover camera has limited visible distance and field of view. Therefore, the rover cameras should be located for safe navigation and efficient terrain mapping. In this regard, to minimize the cost and time to manufacture the camera system on a rover, the simulation method using the rover design is presented to optimize the camera locations on the rover efficiently. In the simulation, a simulated terrain was taken from cameras with different locations and angles. The visible distance and overlapped extent of camera images, and terrain data accuracy calculated from the simulation were compared to determine the optimal locations of the rover's cameras. The simulated results will be used to manufacture a rover and camera system. In addition, self and system calibrations will be conducted to calculate the accurate position of the camera system on the rover.

The HEMU-430X is a world-class railway vehicle which aimed the maximum speed of 430km/h and the operation speed of 370km/h. To maintain high-speed operation condition over 300km/h, various requirements for satisfy exist. However, one of the most important things is a reliable supply of electricity. Especially, the dynamic interaction between the pantograph and overhead contact line at high-speed is a significant matter to pre-evaluate. In this paper, using the dynamic interaction analysis program, current collection performance of the HEMU-430X was investigated. Firstly, based on the international standard, performance of the original specifications was evaluated. In addition, through study on changes in tension and span length, improvement of the performance was considered.
