Visibility of lane marking is impaired at night, or in case of rain, and thereby threatens traffic safety. Recently, various studies and technology have been developed to improve lane marking visibility, such as the extension of lane marking life expectancy (up to 1.5 times), improvement of lane marking equipment, improvement of lane marking visibility (32.7%) by applying phosphorescent material mixed paint, and expressway lane design standards alternative (length 6m, gap 12m, width 13cm: 27.8% of painted surface are reduced) adoption with ergonomic analysis. In this study, a set of cost-benefit analyses was performed for the cases where such techniques were applied. Based on the literature review, 26.9% of traffic accidents would be prevented by improving lane marking visibility by 32.7%; accident reduction benefit was calculated as much as 12.5 billion KRW. Meanwhile, total increased cost when introducing phosphorescent material mixed paint and lane design standards alternative is calculated as 30.6 billion KRW. However, economic feasibility could not be secured with 0.41 of cost-benefit ratio when applied to the expressway network as a whole. Additionally, cost-benefit (B/C) analysis was applied to each of the top 20 night accident hot spots and the results of B/C ratios were between 0.67 and 4.20, showing that 11 out of 20 spot sections of expressway can have economic feasibility. This results indicate, with this kind of pavement marking applied to accident hot spots in rural expressway, better visibility and economic feasibility can be guaranteed through traffic accident reduction. Some limitations and future research agenda have also been discussed.

There is the uncertain period of the construction in case of the products meeting the quality standard of KS M 6080, the quality is degraded because of the abrasive loss of the paint caused by vehicle tires as the traffic amount increases and of the loss and detachment of the glass beads providing the retroreflective function. The abrupt degradation of visibility causes the high frequency of traffic accidents at night and increases the traffic accident rate. Additional supplementary construction induces the direct material and construction costs. As the more cost induction effect than the direct cost, the traffic jam caused by the additional construction increases the indirect social costs such as time cost and vehicle cost. Hence, the study is concerned with performing the abrasion resistance test based on the EN 1436 standard to check and improve the quality of various road marking materials resulting in improving the durability of road marking materials. However, even though the difference in the durability lifetime of resins(binders) is bibliographically or theoretically clear, there was no difference in the durability lifetime (retroreflectivity aspect) of the road marking paint using these binders. The reason is that the bonding of beads was very insufficient or that the cross density caused by crack or freshness was low. Moreover, the measured wet retroreflectivity was distributed as the Rw3 or higher class in average on the basis of EN 1436 but was very insufficient on the basis of the minimum wet threshold retroreflectivity with 100mcd/($m^2{\cdot}lx$) managed overseas.

연구원 초년 시절에 ISDN, 전화선 모뎀 규격 등을 담은 ITU-T 권고안을 (당시는 CCITT 권고안) 보면서 바이블처럼, 금과옥조처럼 신성시 할 때가 있었다. 그러나 천하의 ITU-T 권고안도 실수가 더러 섞여 있고 규격에 반영된 기술도 세계 최고가 아닌 적당한 타협에 의한 결과물이 더러 있다는 걸 알게 되기까지는 그리 오랜 시간이 필요하지 않았다. 그래서 국제 표준이라는게 꼭 당대 최고의 기술의 결정체라기 보다는 토론과 협상, 절충과 거래에 의한 종합적인 고뇌의 산물이자 예술품이라는 결론을 내리게 되었다. 이번 글에서는 필자가 알고 있거나 경험했던 표준에서 절충의 사례를 몇 가지 알아보고 향후 표준을 만들어 갈때 길잡이가 되기를 기대한다.

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.

For the realization of future intelligent transportation systems, fine-grained lane-by-lane traffic monitoring and control functionalities are among the most important technology barriers to overcome. To satisfy the accuracy requirement for traffic monitoring, a GNSS receiver network is designed. The designed receiver network consists of three different types of entities; reference server, broadcaster, and client. For deployment flexibility, all the entities utilize the international message standard RTCM SC-104 version 3.0. For fine-grained traffic monitoring, the client is designed to utilize position-domain carrier-smoothed-code filters to provide accurate vehicle coordinates in spite of frequent addages and outages of visible satellites. An experiment result is presented to evaluate the positioning accuracy of the proposed method.

미끄럼방지 제동장치는 차량의 급제동 시 바퀴의 장김을 방지하여, 바퀴의 슬립을 최적으로 유지 시킴으로써 제동거리를 단축시키고, 운전자가 차량 조향성을 유지할 수 있게 만드는 차량 안정장치이다. 이 장치는 비행기의 착륙거리를 줄이기 위해 개발된 이래로, 철도 및 차량 등에도 널리 적용되고 있으며, 국내에서도 이미 승용차를 위주로 양산되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 미끄럼방지 제동 장치는 공압 브레이크 장치를 사용하는 대형차량 분야에서는 아직 국내에서 적용된 사례가 없었으나, 지난 3 년간의 연구개발의 성과로 대형 버스에 적용 가능한 미끄럼방지 제동장치의 전자제어기가 개발 완료되었으며, 국제 규격을 바탕으로 국내 현실에 적합한 미끄럼방지 제동장치 장착 대형차량의 시험 규격을 정하여 이 규격에 의거 제동시험을 실시하고 개발 제어기의 성능을 평가하였다. 각 제동 시험은 $\mu$-Jump 제동시험 및 Split-$\mu$ 제동시험 등의 직진 주행 중 급제동시험, 급제동 중 차선변경 시험, 장애물 회피 제동시험 등을 포괄하며 국제적인 규격을 기준으로 정한 독자 규격을 만족하였다. 본 논문에서는 공압 브레이크를 장착한 대형차량의 미끄럼방지 제동장치의 제동성능평가 시험방법을 소개하고, 이 방법에 의해 성능평가 시스템 및 측정 시스템을 구성하여, 개발 전자제어기의 우수성을 확인하였으며, 그 측정결과의 일부를 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 도로 빗물받이의 차집효율을 분석하기 위하여 측구 부분을 대상으로 수리모형을 제작하여 실험을 실시하고, 실측된 결과를 FHWA의 범용프로그램인 Visual Urban 모형의 해석결과와 비교하여 이 모형의 국내 적용성을 분석하였다. 실험에는 국내 표준규격인 40x50cm의 쇠살대 유입구(grater inlet)를 사용하였으며, 측구의 유량은 도로의 차선 및 빗물받이의 간격을 고려하여 $4\~13{\ell}/sec$를 선택하였다. 도로의 종경사는 $2,\;4,\;6\%$를 선택하고, 측구의 횡경사는 $4,\;6,\;8\%$를 선택하여, 총 36회의 실험을 실시하였다. Visual Urban 모형을 적용하여 모의한 결과와 실측값을 비교한 결과 종$\cdot$횡경사가 작은 경우에는 오차의 범위가 $6\%$정도였으며 종경사 $4\%$, 횡경사 $8\%$이상이면 비교적 일치하였다.

PURPOSES : It is well known that experts determined the current standard dimensions of freeway lane markings. However, rigorous engineering rationale could be insufficient regarding whether or not the standard dimensions account for how visible the markings are to the driver. In this study, we seek to optimize the dimensions of freeway lane markings to improve their visibility to drivers. METHODS : The study was conducted as follows. First, alternative lane marking dimensions were selected which could be installed in a test construction site. Second, a video recording was made while driving on the test construction site. Third, subjects were shown the recorded video and then instructed to indicate their preference from among the various lane markings. Lastly, t-tests were applied to assess the statistical significance of differences in the preferences expressed. RESULTS : According to the t-test results, there was no significant difference in the preferences expressed regarding the lane marking widths. However, with regard to the dimensions of freeway lane marking, which represents line marking lengths, gap lengths, and widths of marking, the subjects expressed a preference for specific dimensions such as 6 m:12 m,13 cm, 8 m:12 m,10 cm and 6 m:12 m,10 cm. CONCLUSIONS : In considering the dimensions of freeway lane markings and their relation to visibility by the driver, it was found that dimensions such as 6 m:12 m,13 cm, 8 m:12 m,10 cm and 6 m:12 m,10 cm.
