차세대전동차는 직접구동모터(DDM : Direct Drive Motor) 방식으로 기존에 사용하던 기어박스를 없애는 등, 연결부품을 제거함으로써 고장률을 줄여 기존차량 대비 30% 이상 신뢰도를 향상하도록 개발하였다. 그러나, 단순히 모터 자체 만을 변경함으로써 신뢰도를 향상시켰다고 보기는 어렵고, 시스템 차원에서 전동차 내 타 구성품과의 인터페이스를 살펴보고, 정량적인 분석을 통해서 신뢰도가 어느 정도 향상되었는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 신규차량일 경우, 기존차량대비 어느 정도로 신뢰도가 향상되었는지를 입증하고자 주행시험을 실시하는데 전동차에 신뢰성 이론을 적용하기 위해서는 크게 목표설정, 신뢰도예측, 신뢰도입증의 3단계 작업이 진행되며, 신뢰도 예측은 주요장치를 구성하고 있는 부품단위의 고장률을 이용하여 시스템의 신뢰도를 예측하고, 신뢰도 목표치를 만족하는지를 분석하는 것이며, 신뢰도 입증은 예측한대로 시스템이 구축되었는지 확인하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 전동차에서 설정한 목표신뢰도를 만족시키기 위해 수행한 업무에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

Path tracking of unmanned vehicle is a basis of autonomous driving and navigation. For the path tracking, it is very important to find the exact position of a vehicle. GPS is used to get the position of vehicle and a direction sensor and a velocity sensor is used to compensate the position error of GPS. To detect path lines in a road image, the bird's eye view transform is employed, which makes it easy to design a lateral control algorithm simply than from the perspective view of image. Because the driving speed of vehicle should be decreased at a curved lane and crossroads, so we suggest the speed control algorithm used GPS and image data. The control algorithm is simulated and experimented from the basis of expert driver's knowledge data. In the experiments, the results show that bird's eye view transform are good for the steering control and a speed control algorithm also shows a stability in real driving.

This paper presents steering system requirements to ensure the stabilized lateral control of autonomous driving vehicles. The two main objectives of a lateral controller in autonomous vehicles are maintenance of vehicle stability and tracking of the desired path. Even if the desired steering angle is immediately determined by the upper level controller, the overall controller performance is greatly influenced by the specification of steering system actuators. Since one of the major inescapable traits that affects controller performance is the time delay of the steering actuator, our work is mainly focused on finding adequate parameters of high level control algorithm to compensate these response characteristics and guarantee vehicle stability. Actual vehicle steering angle response was obtained with Electric Power Steering (EPS) actuator test subject to various longitudinal velocity. Steering input and output response analysis was performed via MATLAB system identification toolbox. The use of system identification is advantageous since the transfer function of the system is conveniently obtained compared with methods that require actual mathematical modeling of the system. Simulation results of full vehicle model suggest that the obtained tuning parameter yields reduced oscillation and lateral error compared with other cases, thus enhancing path tracking performance.

The two characteristics of two-lane-and-two-way traffic flow are platoon and overtaking triggered by low-speed vehicle. It is crucial to develop a robust model which simultaneously generates the behaviors of platoon by low-speed vehicle and overtaking using opposite lane. Hence, a microscopic two-lane and two-way vehicle model was introduced (B. Yoon, 2011), which is based on CA (Cellular Automata) which is one of discrete time-space models, in Korea. While the model very reasonably explains the behaviour of overtaking low-speed vehicle in stable traffic flow below critical density, it has shortcomings to the overtaking process in unstable traffic flow above the critical density. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develope a vehicle model to more realistically explain overtaking process in unstable traffic flow state based on the model developed in the previous study. The experimental results revealed that the car-following model robustly generates the various macroscopic relationships of traffic flow generating stop-and-go traffic flow and the overtaking model reasonably explains the behaviors of overtaking under the conditions of both opposite traffic flow and stochastic parameter to consider overtaking in unstable traffic flow state. The vehicle model presented in this study can be expected to be utilized for the analysis of two-lane-and-two-way traffic flows more realistically than before.

The high-speed weigh-in-motion system can collect the traveling speed and load information of individual vehicles, which can be used in a variety of ways for the traffic surveillance. However, it has a limit to apply the high-speed weigh-in-motion data directly to a safety analysis because high-speed weigh-in-motion's raw data are point measured data. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes a method to calculate the conflict rate and the Impulse severity based on surrogate safety measures derived from the detection time, detection speed, vehicle length, vehicle type, vehicle weight. It will be possible to analyze and evaluate the risk of rear-end collision on freeway traffic. In addition, this study is expected to be used as a fundamental for identifying crash risks and developing policies to enhance traffic safety on freeways.

In the past, research has been conducted on the development of an adaptive cruise control algorithm considering fuel efficiency, and an adaptive cruise control system considering fuel efficiency have been developed. However, research on optimizing vehicle and adaptive cruise control parameters in order to maximize performances is insufficient. In this study, the design optimization of vehicle and control parameters considering fuel efficiency, trackability, ride comfort and safe distance is performed. This paper proposes performance measures of vehicle behavior and develops an adaptive cruise control system. In addition, based on the screening of vehicle parameters that significantly influence performances, kriging surrogate models are constructed through a sequential design of experiment, and kriging surrogate model-based design optimization is performed to maximize fuel efficiency and satisfy target performances.

Micro-simulation models have been recognized as an efficient assessment tool in developing traffic signal control technologies. In this paper a prototype of a microscopic simulation model which can be applied to evaluate the performance of traffic-adaptive signal control strategies was developed. In the simulation process, space-based arrays were appled to estimate parameters of car following and lane changing models. Two levels of link types, a micro-type and macro-type links, were also embodied in the simulation process. The proposed model was tested on a test network consists of 9 intersections. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated in link by link comparisons with the results of NETSIM. The results show that the proposed model could appropriately simulate traffic flows of the test network. The model also produces traffic adaptive signal timings, cycle lengths and green times for turning movements, based on the detector data. It implies that the optimization process of the model produces reasonable signal timings for the test network on the cycle basis.

This study aims to suggest a methodology of localizing and calibrating parameters, such as acceleration, deceleration, and lane changing which are the basis of car following model in interrupted traffic flow to overcome the limitation of origin and destination based transportation simulation and to verify the application of activity-based model for use in Korean roadway condition in a large scale area or a city. Especially, we figured out that a proper cell size reflecting Korean traffic conditions is 1.0m rather than 7.5m which is default size and a methodology of tracking vehicle behavior characteristics through tracking vehicle ID is suggested on this study. In addition, vehicle running characteristics in real interrupted traffic flow is analyzed through subdividing vehicle types and updating vehicle type ratio. For verification of suggested model, some portion of Dalgubyul-ro in the Daegu city is tested, and the possibility of realization of interrupted traffic flow in simulation is studied.

토목 기술의 발달로 장대교량이 증가함에 따라 교면 포장도 더 심각한 진동 및 충격, 기상조건에 노출되게 된다. 교면 포장은 차량의 주행의 편리성뿐 아니라 교량 구조물을 보호해야 하는 역할도 함께 수행하기 때문에 일반 토공부의 포장과 다른 성능을 필요로 한다. 교면 포장의 특수함을 감안하여 교면 포장의 품질을 평가하고, 설계와 적용시 반영 한다면 교량의 내구 연한 및 시공, 유지관리 비용을 절감 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 교면 포장에 요구되는 성능을 조사하고, 교면 포장 특히, 장대 교량 적용시 교면 포장의 성능 평가를 위한 평가 방법을 고찰하였다. 교면 포장의 가장 큰 구조적 특징은 교량의 진동과 휨에 의해 포장이 받게 되는 휨응력이다. 특히 교량의 장경간화에 따라 더 큰 진동과 변형을 경험하게 되는 교면 포장은 그에 따른 충분한 휨 추종성과 피로 저항성을 확보하여야 한다. 기존 토공부 포장에서는 실험이 간단한 원통형 공시체를 이용한 간접인장강도 모드의 실험으로 피로 성능을 평가하였으나, 교면 포장은 실제 거동 특성과 유사한 빔 피로 시험 모드가 보다 신뢰성이 높을 것으로 판단된다. 빔 피로시험 모드로는 3점, 4점, 5점 휨 피로 시험 모드가 있으며, 각각의 모드는 지지점의 개수, 재하점의 개수에 따라 다른 거동 특성을 평가 할 수 있다. 최근 개발된 5점 휨 시험의 경우 교량에서 발생하는 부(-)모멘트를 모사할 수 있어 보다 현실적인 검증이 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 이 외에도 실제 크기 모형을 이용하여 윤하중을 가하는 Full-scale 모델의 경우 비용과 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있으나 가장 신뢰성이 높은 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 교면 포장은 교량구조부로 수분이 침투되는 것을 막아주는 역할을 하여야 하며, 특히 해상 교량의 경우의 염분과 겨울철 사용되는 제빙화학제는 콘크리트의 열화와 강구조물의 부식을 발생시키므로 교면 포장의 방수 성능 검토는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 일반 토공부 포장과 달리 교면 포장은 하부층이 대기에 노출되어 있기 때문에 겨울철에 더 낮은 온도로 포장체의 온도가 내려가게 되고, 온도가 떨어진 포장층은 스티프니스가 증감함에 따라 저온 균열의 발생확율이 높아지며, 휨추종성도 나빠질 가능성이 높다. 따라서 저온에서의 균열 저항성 및 스티프니스를 평가하는 것은 교면 포장 재료의 중요한 인자 중 하나이다. 포장과 포장 하부층의 접착은 포장층의 일체화된 거동을 할 수 있게 하기 때문에 내구성 향상에 중요하다. 특히 교량과 같이 진동과 변형이 많은 경우에 있어 포장 접착층의 성능은 포장과 교량 구조물의 파손에 더 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 접착성능은 실내에서의 직접인장모드와 전단접착강도 시험 모드의 실험이 있으며, 현장에서 측정하는 Pull-off 실험 등이 있다. 최근에 교통량과 중차량의 증가와 더불어 교량이 장경간화 되어 가면서 평가방법과 기준을 과거보다 엄격하게 할 필요성이 있다. 하지만 현실은 교면포장에 대한 시방규정이 모호하기 때문에 본 논문에서 제시한 국내외의 다양한 평가방법을 통해 적절한 교면포장의 성능을 평가하고 교면포장의 거동특성에 대한 이해를 함으로써 보다 발전된 교량기술을 확보할 수 있을 것이다.

This study analyzes traffic data which are collected by VDS(Vehicle Detection System) to research the relationship between spacing distribution and vehicles' relative speed. The collected data are relative speed between preceding and following vehicles, passing time and speed. They are also classified by lane and direction. For the result of the analysis, in the same platoon, we figure out that mean of spacing is 40m, which can be a value to determine section A to D. To compare spacing according to time interval, this study splits time intervals to peak hour and non-peak hour by peak hour traffic volume. In conclusion, vehicles in peak hour are in car following because most drive similar speed as preceding vehicle and they have relatively small spacing. On the other hand, non-peak hour's spacing between vehicles is bigger than that of peak hour. This implies driver's behaviors that the less spacing, the more aggressive and want to reduce their travel time in peak hour, whereas most drive easily in non-peak hour and recreational trip purpose because of less time pressure.
