Few studies have been carried out to find out the interaction of design speeds, operating speeds, and posted speeds though they have a complementary relationships. As an attempt to find the relationships, this study measured the speeds of the free flowing vehicles at four lane rural highways. In comparison of 95th percentile speeds and inferred design speeds determined from the road design manual with the geometric features of each sites, operating speeds were constantly higher than the inferred design speeds at the sites where the inferred design speed is under 110km/h. and the reverse situation was observed at the sites where the inferred design speed is over 130km/h. In the comparison of operating speeds and posted speeds. the range of the 85th percentile speeds at the sites where posted speeds is 80km/h was distributed from 95km/h to 110km/h. and the range was distributed from the 105km/h to the 120km/h at the sites where posted speeds is 90km/h. Multiple regression analysis was used to develop prediction equations for mean. 85th. and 95th percentile speeds at approach and curve midpoint locations. At the midpoint, only posted speeds influenced the mean, 85th. At the approach locations, the mean, 85th, 95th percentile speeds were influenced by posted speeds and length of the approach tangent.

대우자동차는 1992년 이래로 전기자동차 개발사업을 추진하고 있으며 1996년에는 전기자동차의 Fleet 운영시험을 위해 10대의 씨에로 개조형 전기자동차를 제작하였다. 이 씨에로 전기자동차에는 고성능 연축전지, 교류유도전동기, 탑재형 충전기 및 전동조향배력장치 등이 장착되어 있으며 고등기술연구원에서는 전기자동차의 Fleet 운영시험의 일환으로 시외 일반도로 운행조건에서 전기자동차의 에너지비용을 조사하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 두 대의 씨에로 전기자동차를 용인시와 안성군 지역의 일반도로에서 1998년 4월부터 운행하였으며 이 운행시험 결과를 바탕으로 일반도로 주행조건에서 씨에로 전기자동차의 에너지비용과 동급의 가솔린자동차인 씨에로 1.5DOHC A/T 차량의 에너지비용을 계산하였다. 두 대의 전기자동차중 한 대의 연비는 5.7 km/kWh이었으며, 다른 한 대의 연비는 5.8 km/kWh이었다. 이에 비해 가솔린자동차의 연비는 13.7 km/l로 년간 20,000 km를 주행한다고 가정할 때 가솔린자동차의 년간 주행비용은 전기자동차의 3.4∼18.0배가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 이 시험을 통해 향후 전기자동차의 개발을 위해 유용하고 가치있는 많은 데이터를 얻었다.

전동차 시뮬레이터는 제한된 공간상에서 영상 및 음향, 운동, 운전석에 있는 각종 계기와 모니터 시스템들을 이용해 운전자에게 실제 주행하고 있다는 현실감을 제공하는 일종의 가상현실 장비이다. 시뮬레이터의 유효성은 각종 차량 특성과 운전조건 변화에 대해 CAB 상의 승무원에게 실제에서 경험할 수 있는 각종 주행환경을 제공하는 데 있다. 주행 현실감을 확보하기 위해서는 CAB 승무원에게 소리, 영상, 운동, 촉각 신호 등과 같은 큐(Cue)를 현실적으로 제공해야 한다. 대부분의 큐는 운전자의 조작 명령에 반응하는 차량의 동특성 해석을 통해 결정되어 시각, 음향, 모니터 등에 제공된다. 그러므로, 시뮬레이터 운용에 있어서 핵심적인 위치를 차지하고 있는 실시간 전동차 시뮬레이션 시스템의 전동차 모델은 차량의 운동을 현실적으로 모사할 수 있어야 하며, 실시간으로 시뮬레이션 되어야 하는 서로 상충되는 조건을 만족시켜야 한다. 실시간 전동차 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해서 특히 공학적으로 검토되어야 할 요소는 전동차 모델의 적절성, 적분기법, 운용 소프트웨어 및 실시간 시뮬레이션용 컴퓨터 등에 관하여 연구하였다.

This study presents the direction of data triggers and elements to be recorded in automated vehicles in the future in relation to the event data recorder (EDR) and data storage system for automated driving (DSSAD). It does not distinguish between the EDR and DSSAD, but suggests data triggers and elements in preparation for overall automated vehicle accidents and dangerous situations. To propose, the current status of discussions on EDR/DSSAD internationally and the case of investigating accidents with automated vehicles under temporary driving licenses in Korea were analyzed. Based on the analysis, the direction of data triggers and elements of the EDR/DSSAD of automated vehicles were presented.

In this paper, correlations between driving parameters and $CO_2$ of light-duty vehicles have been analyzed. Three test vehicles equipped with PEMS (Portable Emission Measurement System) have been driven in real-road in urban areas of Seoul. Averaged vehicle speed, RPA(Relative Positive Acceleration) and stop ratio have been selected as main driving parameters. The analysis have been conducted in interrupted and uninterrupted road types. Averaged values in various driving conditions have been calculated with distance based moving averaging window method. The multiple linear regression method have been applied to account for correlation between driving parameters and $CO_2$ emissions. This approach has shown statistically that $CO_2$ emission per distance (g/km) have tendencies to be increased as decreased averaged vehicle speed and increased RPA and stop ratio. Compared with uninterrupted traffic, interrupted traffic have shown the lower vehicle speed and the higher RPA and stop ratio. These characteristics of driving parameters in interrupted traffic should cause the higher $CO_2$ emission per distance.

This study was aimed at predicting to running speed related to alignment factors of forest road, and recommending the improvement method of forest road construction using the running speed of vehicles. For these purposes, this study proceeds to select forest roads after reviewing the planning papers and maps, to measure the road alignment factors such as longitudinal gradient, width of roadway, radius of curve, length of curve, superelevation, and conditions of road surface on the subject forest road. It was found that the average running speed of logging truck showed lower value than that of the expected speed of 'Forest Road Construction Regulations and Rules', and the average running speed of loaded truck showed 70-85% of the speed of empty truck. According to the road conditions, speed index (reductive ratio of running speed) was also calculated with respect to radius of curve, longitudinal dradient. The results of the study on the running speed of vehicle subject to the alignment of forest roads make it possible for one to judge the quality of the existed and to be constructed forest roads, to select the structure of forest road to improve the running speed of vehicle on forest road.

Currently, a lot of researches about high risk test scenarios for autonomous vehicle and advanced driver assistance systems have been carried out to evaluate driving safety. This study proposes new type of test scenario that evaluate the driving safety for autonomous vehicle by reconstructing accident database of national automotive sampling system crashworthiness data system (NASS-CDS). NASS-CDS has a lot of detailed accident data in real fields, but there is no data of accurate velocity in accident moments. So in order to propose scenario generation method from accident database, we try to reconstruct accident moment from accident sketch diagram. At the same step, we propose an accident of occurrence frequency which is based on accident codes and road shapes. The reconstruction paths from accident database are integrated into evaluation of simulation environment. Our proposed methods and processor are applied to MILS (Model In the Loop Simulation) and VILS (Vehicle In the Loop Simulation) test environments. In this paper, a reasonable method of accident reconstruction typology for autonomous vehicle evaluation of feasibility is proposed.

Recently, Hybrid Electric Vehicle(: HEV) is in the spotlight to global warming caused by carbon dioxide and emission reduction. HEV consists of a combination of mechanical engine and electric motor system. The flow of energy required to drive a HEV depends on the driving conditions of the vehicle. In this paper, we study the contents of HEV education using real-time monitoring system. A real-time monitoring system consisting of hardware and virtual programs is used to simulate the overall operation of a HEV through simulations according to driving conditions and to explain how to learn through hardware.

Generally, traffic accidents can be influenced by variables driving conditions including geometric, roadside design, and traffic conditions. Under the circumstance, homogeneous roadway segments were firstly identified using typical geometric variables obtained from field data collections in this study. These field data collections were conducted at highways located in several areas having various regional conditions for examples, outside metropolitan city; level and rolling rural areas. Due to many zero cells in crash database, a Zero Inflated Poisson model was used to develop crash prediction model to overestimated results in this study. It was found that EXPO, radius, grade, guardrail, mountainous terrain, crosswalk and bus-stop have statistically significant influence on vehicle to vehicle crashes at rural multi-lane roadway segments.
