In order to make autonomous vehicles more trustworthy, it is necessary to focus on the users of autonomous vehicles. By evaluating the preferences for driving behaviors of autonomous vehicles, we aim to identify driving behaviors that increase the acceptance of users in autonomous vehicles. We implemented two driving behaviors, aggressive and cautious, in a driving simulator and allowed users to experience them. Biometric data was collected during the ride, and pre- and post-riding surveys were conducted. Subjects were categorized into two groups based on their driving habits and analyzed against the collected biometric data. Both aggressive and cautious driving subjects preferred the cautious driving behavior of autonomous vehicles.

Flows inside a passenger compartment of a 1/5 scale model vehicle have been simulated by using a general purpose FVM code, TURBO-3D. Three HVAC modes of heating, air-conditioning, and defrosting are simulated by defining three different inlets. Comparisons are made with the published experimental and computational results, giving a good agreement. A method of predicting the defrosting contours on the wind shield is also proposed in the present study, which enables design modifications in design stages.

In the rapidly aging society, the number of wheelchair users is increasing steadily. On the other hand, it is almost impossible for a disabled person using a wheelchair to use express buses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an express bus that can secure the rights of wheelchair users. For these special types of express buses, it is required to develop a special entrance and lift system. The development of a wheelchair entrance system for the express buses requires design modification, retrofit, and reinforcement of the bus frame. This study evaluated the structural integrity of an entrance system for wheelchair users using a finite element method. Torsional stiffness and modal analysis were performed through structural analysis. Through sensitivity analysis, optimization was performed to reduce the weight of the frame. These results on the wheelchair entrance system are expected to be utilized in the vehicle modification and welfare industries.

본 논문은 휠체어의 탑승자의 구동력과 BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor) 에서 출력되는 보조력인 전기적인 구동력을 동시에 사용하는 탈부착형 수전동 휠체어의 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 탈부착형 수전동 휠체어 제어기는 휠체어의 기울기와 휠체어의 상관관계를 바탕으로, 탑승자의 휠체어 림 구동 상태를 추정하여 휠체어의 전동력을 전달하는 BLDCM에서 구동력을 사용자의 지령에 따라 보조하도록 제어한다. 사용자의 요구 상태는 림의 구동에 따른 휠체어의 상태를 가속도, 자이로 센서를 이용해 측정을 하게 되고, 이를 상보필터를 사용해 각도를 보정하여, 지령치를 계산하고, 구동부는 지령치에 따라 휠체어에 필요한 전동력을 발생하게 된다. 탈부착형 수전동 휠체어의 제어방식은 시뮬레이션을 통해 가능성을 검증하였다.

Train crashes involve complex interaction between deformable bodies in multiple collisions. The purpose of this study is to suggest the effective analytical procedure using hybrid model for the crashworthiness of motorized trailer of high speed train. The hybrid approach, with very short modeling times and reduced computation times to extract the global behaviour and to perform a pre-optimization of the considered structure. Firstly, various types of crash events are investigated and the conditions for numerical simulation are defined. In this paper, the structural crashwonhiness of Korean High Speed Train trailer was examined through FE analysis. Crash analyses on energy absorbing part and safety zone were carried out to determine each section force. Rollover analysis was performed to observe the amount of intrusion in the passenger's area in case of rollover accident.

This study aimed to prove that the effect of waiting environment on perceived waiting time and service quality evaluation of airline service procedure. Survey was conducted by questionnaires that were distributed to international airlines passengers who arrived at the airport. Totally, 300 samples were circulated, and 231 samples among those were collected. According to the results, the suggested hypotheses were accepted except the regulation effect of waiting acceptability. Physical environment has positive effect on the airport and boarding gate, and human environment has more positive effect in-flight service procedure. Thus, variables are correlated among waiting environment, perceived waiting time, and service quality evaluation of airline service. Acceptability as moderating variable has no effect due to passenger's pre awareness of estimated arrival and departure travel time certainly. At the end of this study, the results of this research can be conjugable on the airline industry, however, some limitations should be discussed by further study directions.

This study proposed a method to determine the number and location of bus information terminals (BIT), which is a device to provide passengers with bus arrival time at bus stops in a Bus Information System (BIS). In low-density area, it is not efficient to survey bus demands such as the number of passengers at all bus stops due to time and cost. This kind of a survey would, however, competently cover all bus stops if performed inside the bus. The number of riding-on and -off passengers is observed for every bus stop, and this data collection is repeated over all day. Data obtained from the survey are aggregated each bus stop. This study defines Utility Index (UI), an aggregate each bus stop. Bus stops are ranked according to UI and determined for a BIT within budget limitation. As a case study, a bus line in Jeju island, Korea, was dealt with. This case showed that the more aggregate the better data quality. This study is expected to contribute to solving a location problem of BITs in a BIS.

The elevator is extreme important due to the large size of the building and public facilities. In particular, it occurs bottleneck phenomenon in a elevator in case of using a theater. So, in this paper, we suggests technology of removing the traffics of visitors' movement and increase the efficiency of the use of elevator. Configuration of the proposed technique is divided parts of the processing unit, the movement route of the mobile cover to help viewers to create a route to collect sensor and the sensed data to detect state and a waiting elevator. This was the design and verification of technical performance and implementation.

Pressure waves are generated and propagate in a tunnel when train enters tunnel high speed. A compression wave due to the entry of train head propagates along the tunnel and is reflected at tunnel exit as an expansion wave. An expansion wave due to the entry of the train tail propagates along the tunnel and is reflected at tunnel exit as a compression wave. These pressure waves are repeatedly propagated and reflected at the tunnel entrance and exit. Severe pressure changes causes ear-discomfort for passengers in the cabin and micro pressure waves around the tunnel exit. It is necessary to analyze the transient pressure phenomena in tunnels qualitatively and quantitatively, because pressure change rate is considered as one of the major design parameters for optimal tunnel cross sectional area and repeated fatigue force on car body. In this study, we developed a characteristics method based on a fixed mesh system and boundary conditions for crossing trains and analyzed this system using an X-t diagram. The results of the simulation show that offsetting of pressure waves occurs for special entry conditions of a crossing train.
