According to evolution of technologies, many devices related to various applications were researched. The advanced driver assistance system is a famous technique effected from the evolution. The technique of driver assistance uses image recognition methods to collect exactly information around the vehicle. The computing power of driver assistance device has become more improved than in the past. However, it's difficult that processed various recognition methods at real-time. We propose new frame skip method to process various recognition methods at real-time in the limited hardware. In the previous researches, frame skip rate was set up static values, thus the number of processed frames through recognition methods was smaller. We set up the frame skip rate dynamically using a driving condition of vehicle through speed and acceleration value, in addition, the number of processed frames was maximized. The performance is improved more 32.5% than static frame skip method.

This paper describes optimal operation method using recognition of walker's will for a robotic walker. Recently, walking aid system has been required according to the increase of elder and handicapped person. However, most of walking aid system don't have actuator for its movement. Unfortunately, standard frames have weakness for the movement to upward/download direction of slope. So, active type walking aids are interested, but it is not easy to control. In this paper, we adapt user's will system that can recognize walking direction and speed. First, FSR(Force Sensing Register) is applied to measure user's will to walk. And then, fuzzy algorithm is used for determining optimal wheel velocity and direction of the walking aid. From the result, walking aid can move smoothly and safely following the user's will. The walking aid can help user to walk more optimally. Here, all the processes are verified experimentally in the real world.

Automotive ECU integrates CPU core, IVN controller, memory interface, sensor interface, I/O interface, and so on. Current automotive ECUs are often developed with proprietary processor architectures. However, demends for standard processors such as ARM and RISC-V increase rapidly for saftware compatibility in autonomous vehicles and connected cars. In this paper, an automotive ECU is designed for parking assist system based on RISC-V with open instruction set architecture. It includes 32b RISC-V CPU core, IVN controllers such as CAN and LIN, memory interfaces such as ROM and SRAM, and I/O interfaces such as SPI, UART, and I2C. Fabricated in 65nm CMOS technology, its operating frequency, area, and gate count are 50MHz, 0.37㎟, and 55,310 gates, respectively.

본 논문에서는 하이브리드 전기자동차의 전장시스템 에너지 공급을 위한 보조배터리 충전용 저전압 직류 변환장치(Low voltage DC-to-DC Converter, LDC)를 제안한다. 차량 탑재용의 특성상 소형 경량화 설계 기술을 통한 연비증가, 동력성능의 향상이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 LDC는 부스트와 포워드 컨버터 구조를 혼합한 형태로 부스트 컨버터의 입력 인덕터를 변압기로 대체하여 포워드 컨버터와 결합시킴으로서 출력전압의 승 강압 동작을 구현한다. 따라서 차량 시동 시 내연기관을 구동하기 위한 승압모드로 동작하고, 그 외 일반적인 경우는 차량 내 각종 전장부하에 전력을 공급하기 위한 강압모드로 동작된다. 제안된 컨버터의 동작 모드에 따른 이론적 분석을 시행하고 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증한다.

A lane change maneuver which has a high driver cognitive workload and skills sometimes leads to severe traffic accidents. In this study, the Advanced Lane Change Assist System (ALCAS) was developed to assist with the automatic lane changes in merging sections which is mainly based on an automatic control algorithm for detecting an available gap, determining the Optimal Lane Change Start Point (OLCSP) in various traffic conditions, and positioning the merging vehicle at the OLCSP safely by longitudinal automatic controlling. The analysis of lane change behavior and modeling of fundamental lane change feature were performed for determining the default parameters and the boundary conditions of the algorithm. The algorithm was composed of six steps with closed-loop. In order to confirm the algorithm performance, numerical scenario tests were performed in various surrounding vehicles conditions. Moreover, feasibility of the developed system was verified in microscopic traffic simulation(VISSIM 5.3 version). The results showed that merging vehicles using the system had a tendency to find the OLCSP readily and precisely, so improved merging performance was observed when the system was applied. The system is also effective even during increases in vehicle volume of the mainline.

We developed a prediction model of assistance force for the opening/closing of an automobile door depending on the condition of the parking ground. The candidates of the learning models for the operating assistance force were compared to determine the proper force according to the slope and user's force, etc. The reduced experimental model was developed to obtain learning data for the estimation model. The learning algorithm was composed to predict the assistance force to incorporate real assistance force data. Among these algorithms, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine(SVM) were applied and the adaptability was compared between these models. The SVM provided more adaptability for the learning process of the door assistance force prediction. This paper proposes a system for determining the assistance force to control a door motor to compensate for the deviation of required door force in the slope condition, as needed in the plane condition.

The researches on driver assistance systems that can prevent an accident have been actively performed due to social issues of traffic accidents with development of vehicle industry in recent. It is required for researchers to develope systems which assist driver's perception and judgment when considering that over 70% of traffic accidents occur by drivers' carelessness and 75% of the total accidents occur at the speed of less 29km per hour. In this paper, we implemented a front and rear vehicle monitoring system that monitors distance from a vehicle to obstacles in real-time at the low-speed or back-ward driving. The proposed system consists of ultrasonic sensors of high angle and wide angle of beam spread, ATmega128, and DSP processor.

In this paper, we developed a mid-range automotive radar systems based on the performance requirements and test procedures of the intelligent transport systems, that is lane change decision aid systems (LCDAS). The mid-range automotive radar has the maximum detection range up to 80m and an update time within 50ms. The computational loads of a signal processing were reduced by using ROI preprocessing technique. Considering actual driving environments, radar performance evaluations were conducted in two driving scenarios at an automotive proving ground.
