Basically, autonomous vehicles drive using road and traffic information collected by various sensors. However, it is known that there is a limitation to realizing fully autonomous driving with only such technologies and information. In recent, various efforts are being made to overcome the limitations of sensor-based autonomous driving, and efforts are also underway to utilize more specific and accurate road and traffic information, called local dynamic map (LDM). However, LDM-related data standards and specifications have not yet been sufficiently verified, and research on the spatiotemporal scope of LDM during autonomous driving is extremely limited. Based on this background, the purpose of this study is to identify these limitations through an analysis of previous LDM-related studies and to present a framework for calculating the spatiotemporal activation section of LDM-based road and traffic information.

자율주행 차량의 성능을 검증하기 위해서는 다양한 검증용 시나리오가 필요하기 때문에 최근에는 검증용 시나리오를 자동으로 생성하기 위한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 실세계에서 발생되는 다양한 현상을 반영한 시나리오를 생성하기 위해서는 자율주행 차량의 주변 상황에 대한 측정이 필요하지만, 공간적인 문제로 한계가 발생한다. 이와 같은 데이터 수집의 어려움을 자율주행 차량에 탑재된 블랙박스의 영상을 통해서 생성하는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 DRQN을 이용하여 자율주행 차량 사고영역을 자동으로 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 동영상에서 추출된 프레임을 분석해서 교통사고 원도우의 초기 위치를 설정한다. DRQN 학습 프레임워크로 차량의 특징을 도출한다. 마지막으로 특징을 기반으로 교통사고 원도우의 크기와 위치를 조정해서 교통사고 영역을 정확하게 찾는다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of the road network according to the penetration rate of autonomous vehicles (AV) of Level 4 or higher and the change in traffic volume. First, prior studies related to vehicle control variables of AV were reviewed, and future traffic demand in 2040, which is predicted to have a 50 % market share of AVs, was reflected in the simulation analysis. In addition, the change in traffic flow of continuous and intermittent flows was analyzed by increasing the AV market penetration rate and traffic volume of passenger cars, trucks, and buses by 25 % step by step from 0 to 100 %. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the travel time increased as the traffic increased, and the pattern of decreasing the travel time due to the increase in the share of AVs, that is, the development of technology, can also be confirmed. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the traffic speed showed a trend of increasing as the share of AVs increased. In this study, it was confirmed that the law of diminishing marginal rate of substitution (MRS) was satisfied by calculating the MRS according to the combination of traffic volume and speed while increasing the market penetration rate of AVs. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the convexity of the indifference curve was also satisfied in both intermittent and continuous traffic flow environments.

Recently technological drive on autonomous vehicle is on the rush. Along with the trend, researches on driver's perspective are increasing. However, previous studies have limitations in terms of study period and rich experience. In this paper, we conducted an ethnographically inspired fieldwork to observe human-autonomous car interaction. We had six participants to ride a prototype autonomous car on the real road for six days. After, we generated trust, distrust factors according to Lee & See's categorization of trust dimension: process, performance, and purpose. We derived eight distrust factors that saliently influences passenger's experience in autonomous vehicle. Our research broadens trust model into autonomous driving context based on real road field study and contributes to automotive community with design guidelines to increase trust toward autonomous vehicle.

본 논문에서는 좁고 곡률이 큰 도로에서의 자율 주행을 위한 AVM 시스템 기반의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 전방을 주시하는 모노/스테레오 카메라를 이용한 차선 인식 방법을 이용한 자율주행 알고리즘은 모노/스테레오 카메라의 제한된 FOV (Field of View)로 인해 좁고 곡률이 큰 도로에서의 자율 주행에 한계가 있다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 AVM 시스템을 기반으로 하여 이 한계를 극복하고자 한다. AVM 시스템에서 얻은 영상을 차선의 색상 정보를 이용해 차선의 영역을 이진화 한다. 이진화 영상으로부터, 차량의 뒷바퀴 주변의 관심영역을 시작으로 재귀적 탐색법을 이용하여 좌, 우 차선을 검출한다. 검출된 좌, 우 차선의 중앙선을 차량의 경로로 삼고 조향각을 산출해 낸다. 제한하는 알고리즘을 실제 차량에 적용시킨 실험을 수행하였고, 운전면허 시험장의 코스를 차선의 이탈없이 주행 가능함을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

The autonomous driving drones experimented in the existing indoor corridor environment was a way to give the steering command to the drones by the neural network operation of the notebook due to the limitation of the operation performance of the drones. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, we have studied autonomous driving in indoor corridor environment using NVIDIA Jetson TX2 board.

Autonomous vehicles are equipped with a wide rage of sensors such as GPS, RADAR, LIDAR, camera, IMU, etc. and are driven by recognizing and judging various transportation systems at intersections in the city. The accident ratio of the intersection of the autonomous vehicles is 88% of all accidents due to the limitation of prediction and judgment of an area outside the sensing distance. Not only research on non-signalized intersection collision avoidance strategies through V2V and V2I is underway, but also research on safe intersection driving in failure situations is underway, but verification and fragments through simple intersection scenarios Only typical V2V failures are presented. In this paper, we analyzed the architecture of the V2V module, analyzed the causal factors for each V2V module, and defined the failure mode. We presented intersection scenarios for various road conditions and traffic volumes. we used the ISO-26262 Part3 Process and performed HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) to analyze the risk of autonomous vehicle based on the simulation. We presented ASIL, which is the result of risk analysis, proposed a monitoring concept for each component of the V2V module, and presented monitoring coverage.

Various studies have been conducted using microtraffic simulation (VISSIM) to analyze the safety of traffic flow when introducing autonomous vehicles. However, no studies have analyzed traffic safety in mixed traffic while considering the driving behavior of general vehicles as a parameter in VISSIM. Therefore, the aim of this study was to optimize the input variables of VISSIM for non-autonomous vehicles through genetic algorithms to obtain realistic behavior. A traffic safety analysis was then performed according to the penetration rate of autonomous vehicles. In a 640 meter section of US highway I-101, the number of conflicts was analyzed when the trailing vehicle was a non-autonomous vehicle. The total number of conflicts increased until the proportion of autonomous vehicles exceeded 20%, and the number of conflicts decreased continuously after exceeding 20%. The number of conflicts between non-autonomous vehicles and autonomous vehicles increased with proportions of autonomous vehicles of up to 60%. However, there was a limitation in that the driving behavior of autonomous vehicles was based on the results of the literature and did not represent actual driving behavior. Therefore, for a more accurate analysis, future studies should reflect the actual driving behavior of autonomous vehicles.

As connected and automated driving(CAD) technology is entering its commercialization stage, service platforms providing CAD-based mobility services have increased these days. However, CAD-baded mobility services with these platforms need more consideration for the demand for mobility services when determining target areas for CAD-based mobility services because current CAB-based mobility design focus on driving performance and driving stability. For a more efficient design of CAD-based mobility services, we analyzed the applicability for the introduction of CAD-based mobility services in terms of driving difficulty of CAD and demand patterns of current non-CAD based-mobility services, e.g., taxi, demand-responsive transit(DRT), and special transportation systems(STS). In addition, for the spatial analysis of the applicability of the CAD-based mobility service, we propose the Index for Autonomous Driving Applicability (IADA) and analyze the characteristics of the spatial distribution of IADA from the network perspective. The analysis results show that the applicability of CAD-based mobility services depends more on the demand patterns than the driving difficulty of CAV. In particular, the results show that the concentration pattern of demand in a specific road link is more important than the size of demand. As a result, STS service shows higher applicability compared to other mobility services, even though the size of demand for this mobility service is relatively small.
