The inner foam structure plays an important role in the performance of the carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) rear spoiler used in automobiles. However, there is still a lack of studies for the CFRP-based rear spoiler according to the type of inner foam, especially under the high-speed driving condition. With this motivation, we numerically analyze the performance of the CFRP rear spoiler using various cases of the inner foam under the highspeed driving condition. Here, polymethacrylimide (PMI), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) resins are employed as the inner foams in this work. The performances are evaluated using the deformation aspects and vibration characteristics when the driving condition is a high-speed condition (200 km/h). Furthermore, to specifically verify the importance of the inner foam in the high-speed condition, we additionally investigate the performance of the CFRP rear spoiler without the inner foam structure (i.e., hollow type). As a result, it is confirmed that among the types of inner foams utilized in this work, the PMI and PVC inner foams have the best deformation aspect and vibration characteristic, respectively. Note that the hollow-type inner foam has inferior performances compared to other inner foams invoked in this study. Consequently, through this study, it can be confirmed that the inner foam structure can significantly improve the performance of the CFRP spoiler under high-speed driving condition (200 km/h), and also that the strengths of the CFRP spoiler can manifest differently depending on the types of inner foam core.

Urban railway vehicles operate in downtown areas. Due to increases in the number of passengers and changes in the service plans, railway vehicles are expected to operate on sharp curved tracks. However, on these tracks, the running stability of the railway vehicles is significantly decreased and the creepage is increased. Creepage causes the wheel/rail to wear and vibration. Therefore, reducing the creepage helps ensure the running stability and can be beneficial for the environment and cost. In this paper, the longitudinal creepage is analyzed using a railway vehicle model on a sharp curved track. Furthermore, in order to minimize the problems when a railway vehicle runs on a sharp curved track, the characteristics of a bogie are optimized using response optimization.

Super - Bus Rapid Transit (S-BRT), adding the advantages of urban railroads to BRT, has emerged to solve the problem of low speed and reliability of the existing BRT. Notably, the S-BRT driveway is classified into exclusive lanes and roads, as BRT, in the domestic guidelines. However, S-BRT and BRT have different operating goals and characteristics, so it is necessary to systematize the S-BRT driveway. Therefore, this study classified an S-BRT driveway into exclusive lane, shared lane with overtaking lane, and shared lane without overtaking lane based on domestic conditions. Subsequently, a control strategy for transit signal priority in each driveway was presented by the study based on the characteristics of the driveway to achieve the S-BRT target service level. Finally, the S-BRT target service level was almost achieved, and the travel speed was high and increased in the order respectively in the exclusive lane, shared lane with overtaking lane, and shared lane without overtaking lane in the study. Hence, it is important to operate a transit signal priority considering the characteristics of each driveway when operating the S-BRT. In essence, this study is expected to be used as a reference for driveway design and transit signal priority operation when introducing S-BRT in each local government in the future.

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.

Track irregularities is one of key factors influencing running behavior of train. In order to ensure safety and ride comfort, it is highly important that relationship between track irregularity and running behavior of vehicle is identified and the criteria for track irregularities is adequately established. Numerical analysis was conducted to investigate influence of surface on running behavior of KTX and various wavelength and amplitude of surface were considered in numerical analysis. Derailment, lateral load, bogie acc., body acc. of numerical analysis results were investigated to evaluate the effect on track profile on safety and ride comfort of KTX.

Smart mobility is rapidly emerging as a next-generation eco-friendly transportation system, and the market is booming every year. However, due to the characteristics of the devices that use electricity as the power source, the motor and the battery are different from the performance and actual performance indicated by the manufacturer depending on the user's weight and driving environment. Therefore, The frequency of the overload is increased and the failure and damage of the device are increasing. In this paper, we propose an application that provides personalized recommended driving guidance and overloaded driving situation notification at the actual driving separately from the recommended driving provided by the manufacturer after measuring the driving environment of the user, so as to prevent malfunction and damage of the smart mobility device, To ensure safety.

고속도로를 주행하는 차량에 작용하는 순간적인 강풍은 차량의 주행경로이탈, 차체의 수평회전 과다와 전도를 발생시키는 원인이 되며, 이로 인한 교통사고는 치명적인 대형사고로 이어질 가능성이 높다. 최근에 건설되거나 추진중인 고속도로는 고속운행에 필요한 도로선형을 확보하기 위해 계곡부를 통과하는 높은 위치에 교량을 건설하거나 산악터널을 내는 경우가 많으며, 지형적인 특성으로 발생하는 국지적인 강풍의 영향이 매우 크기 때문에 적극적인 강풍저감대책이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강풍 발생지역을 주행중인 차량의 안전성 및 쾌적성확보를 위하여 차량의 동역학적 거동을 규명하고 차종별 주행속도와 순간풍속의 상관관계를 정립하였다. 또한 차량사고의 영향인자별 분석을 통하여 기존에 제시된 연구결과와 기준안에 대한 고찰을 실시하였고, 강풍발생 지역을 통과하는 차량에 대한 규제와 운영방법에 대해 위험풍속을 정의하고 차량속도규제(안)을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 1대의 CCD카메라로 주행 중 차선과 선행차량을 인식하고 선행차량까지의 거리를 실시간으로 계측하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 도로와 카메라간의 기하구조를 분석하여 사영행렬을 추출하였고, 주행 중 차간 거리를 실시간으로 계측하는데 이용하였다. 또한 차선 인식을 위해서 Hough Transform을 적용하여 처리시간을 단축하였다. 도로상의 장애물은 인식된 주행차선 내로 한정하였고 도로 영상에서 수평에지성분을 구한 후 히스토그램 투영을 적용하여 장애물을 검출하였다. 거리가 점차 멀어질수록 계측오차가 증가함을 볼 수 있었으나 기존의 방법에 비하여 주행 중에 운전자가 장애물을 판단하여 제동을 취할 수 있는 정도의 유효한 오차특성을 보였다.

자율주행 자동차의 개발을 위해서는 다양한 기능 평가, 성능 평가, 안전성 평가 등이 필수적이다. 이러한 평가는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실제 주행을 통해 이뤄질 수 있으며, 현실의 도로 상황을 고려한 단위시험환경들을 조합 구성한 통합시험환경에서 수행하는 것이 일반적이다. 여기서 단위시험환경은 도로망 구성, 장애물, 표지판 등의 정보를 포함하는 정밀도로지도를 기반으로 주행차량수, 보행자, 기상환경, 동적 이벤트 요소 등을 고려하여 구성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단위시험환경을 구성하기 위한 정밀도로지도 처리 방법을 소개한다. 구체적으로는 정밀도로지도 처리를 포함하는 데이터 파이프라인을 설계하고, 정밀도로지도 객체분석을 통해 시험환경의 특성 및 상호 유사성을 파악한다. 국토지리정보원에서 배포한 정밀도로지도를 사용하여 객체를 추출하고 분석하는 실험을 수행했으며 전반적인 동작 상태를 확인했다. 개발한 소프트웨어는 향후 자율주행 학습을 위한 단위 및 통합 시험환경 구축 및 법규 및 규제 대응 서비스 시나리오의 구성에 활용할 예정이다.

자율주행 소프트웨어의 안전성에 대한 요구가 높아짐에 따라 소프트웨어를 개발 시 정형 검증 기법을 적용하여 안전성을 확보하고자 하는 노력이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ROS 기반의 자율주행 소프트웨어의 동작을 Timed Automata를 사용하여 모델링하고 그 정확성(실시간적 특성)을 모델체킹을 통해 정형 검증하는 방법을 제시한다. ROS 기반 응용 프로그램의 동작은 ROS가 제공하는 노드 간의 통신에 영향을 받기 때문에 자율주행 소프트웨어뿐 아니라 그 동작에 영향을 끼치는 ROS의 큐를 통한 통신을 통합한 모델을 제시한다. 또한 통합 모델에서 큐 크기, 타임아웃, 프로세스의 주기를 매개 변수로 주어 다양한 조합에 따른 실시간 요구사항의 만족 여부를 검증함으로써 ROS에서 매개 변수 설정 기준을 제시한다.
