Ahead of the commercialization of autonomous vehicles, it's application should be considered into the current transportation infrastructure. Under limited traffic circumstances, effective set of lane change rules alone could bring benefits to the autonomous driving system. In this study, a cooperative movement (local platooning) plan with limited vehicles associated as pocket driving, aiming at effective movement between vehicles in urban environment was proposed. Under congested roadway condition, the gaussian gap between vehicles was introduced to secure gap acceptance for safe lane change maneuver. Proposed lane change method showed 86.6% delay reduction along with traffic volume improvement. This result could be considered as a crucial factor in designing a next-generation roadway infrastructure with autonomous driving.

The main objective of this research is to present the behaviors of precast concrete slab under moving wheel loads. The simulated moving wheel tester and precast concrete slab were designed for this research. In particular, a comparative analysis between the structural analysis and the moving wheel load test was evaluated in connection parts, deformation, bedding layer of concrete slab panels. In the comparisons of the test results from static and moving wheel loads, the maximum deformations were similar. It should be noted that the deformation of panel 2 from the static loading test was larger than that of other panels, while the deformations of panels 1 and 3 were more noticeable than that of panel 2.

Since 2021, government departments have been promoting Automated Driving Technology Development and Innovation Project as national research and development(R&D) project. The automated vehicles and service technologies developed as part of these projects are planned to be subsequently provided to the public at the selected Living Lab City. Therefore, it is important to determine a spatial area and operation section that enables safe and stable automated driving, depending on the purpose and characteristics of the target service. In this study, the static Operational Design Domain(ODD) elements for Level 4 automated driving services were reclassified by reviewing previously published papers and related literature surveys and investigating field data. Spatial analysis techniques were used to consider the reclassified ODD elements for level 4 in the real area of level 3 automated driving services because it is important to reflect the spatial factors affecting safety related to real automated driving technologies and services. Consequently, a total of six driving mode changes(disengagement) were derived through spatial information analysis techniques, and the factors affecting the safety of automated driving were crosswalk, traffic light, intersection, bicycle road, pocket lane, caution sign, and median strip. This spatial factor analysis method is expected to be useful for determining special areas for the automated driving service.

Recently, there has been an active study about friction force of moving parts for automotive. This study is development and evaluation of oil pockets for journal bearing and tappet valve for range extended electric vehicle. Specially, oil pockets are effect on friction force depend on pitch, size, depth. In this study, fine oil pocket was formed using by etched texturing on the journal bearing and tappet valve. And oil pocket analyzed by SEM and friction force test was carried out by tensile tester. Finally, in this study, it was suggested by round and plane part which journal besring and tappet valve.
