The operational design domain (ODD) of autonomous vehicles needs to be expanded on highways and urban roads in light of the substantial commercialization of Level 3 autonomous vehicles. Therefore, this study developed a specific infrastructure autonomous vehicle-based cooperative driving service to ensure the driving safety of autonomous vehicles on city roads. The traffic operation efficiency, safety evaluation, and core evaluation indices for each service were selected and analyzed to study the effect of each service. The result of the analysis confirmed that the traffic operation efficiency and safety of autonomous vehicles were improved through the V2X communication-based autonomous cooperative driving service. On the whole, the significance of this study is in deriving the effect of the autonomous cooperative driving service based on V2X communication on urban roads with interrupting traffic flow.

협력 지능형 교통 시스템 (C-ITS: Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System)은 차량이 도로 인프라 또는 다른 차량과 서로 통신하면서 전방의 교통사고 및 장애물과 주변 차량 정보를 공유하여 위험상황을 피할 수 있도록 사전에 경고하는 미래형 교통체계이다. C-ITS는 보행자 및 차량의 안전을 향상시키고 배출탄소량 감소 및 교통물류의 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있는 미래사회의 핵심 인프라가 될 전망이다. C-ITS의 성공적인 실현을 위해서는 다중 센서 융 복합 기반 교통정보 수집, 교통정보를 쌍방향으로 유통하기 위한 통합 무선 통신망, 스마트 기기와 이동통신망을 활용한 실시간 교통정보 수집 및 빅 데이터 처리와 주문형 서비스 제공 등의 핵심 기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 고에서는 협력형 교통 환경에서의 C-ITS 구조 및 관련 핵심 요소 기술을 소개하고, 앞으로 해결할 과제를 소개 한다.

Many research activities to reduce accidents on the road and to improve traffic efficiency have been performed and almost research projects are developing technologies and services based on C-ITS technology nowadays. The main concept of C-ITS is improving road safety and traffic efficiency by sharing and reproducing information between various elements. To accomplish this goal, V2X communication technology has been adopted. In Korea, we have studied V2X communication technology in support of SMART-Highway research project and are managing test-bed to verify the developed technology recently. In this paper, we introduce SMART-Highway test-bed and show the procedure and result of V2X communication performance analysis on the test-bed.

A cooperative driving automation system is imperative to overcome the limitation of the stand-alone automated driving technology. By definition, a cooperative driving automation system refers to a technology in which an automated vehicle cooperates with other vehicles or infrastructure to increase driving efficiency and safety. Specifically, in this study, the technical elements necessary for the cooperative driving automation technology and the technological research trends were investigated. Subsequently, implications for future cooperative driving automation technology development were drawn through the research trends. Finally, the importance of cooperative driving automation technology and infra-guidance service for automated vehicles were discussed.

Convoy driving is one of the technologies of multi-vehicle cooperation driving along with platoon driving. All over the world, research on vehicle control mechanisms to maintain vehicle formation during convoy driving convoy driving has been actively conducted and in Europe's Autonet 2030 project has developed and demonstrated convoy driving services for highways. But, even the concept of convoy driving is still insufficient in Korea. Therefore, in this study, the concept of convoy driving service was established and scenarios and communication messages for service application on urban roads were developed. And its effectiveness was verified through simulation analysis. As a result of comparing and analyzing individual vehicle cooperative driving and convoy driving for the blind spot support service and dilemma zone safety support service, which are representative V2I cooperative driving services on urban roads, the number of conflicts(indicator of traffic safety) and delays and stops(indicator of traffic efficiency) are significantly improved in convoy driving compared to individual vehicle cooperative driving.

지능형 교통 시스템의 주요 인프라 중 하나인 VANET 은 차량과 인프라 간의 통신을 통해 교통을 예측함으로써 도로 상에서의 안전을 보장한다. VANET 은 모든 노드가 네트워크에 가입할 수 있는 개방형 네트워크이기 때문에 개인 정보 보호가 주된 관심사이다. 분산형 신뢰 관리 시스템은 차량 네트워크에서 수신된 메시지가 신뢰할 수 있는 지에 대한 여부를 결정함으로써, 악의적인 공격자로부터 차량을 지킬 수 있다. 분산형 k-익명성 체계와 블록체인을 결합한 신뢰 관리 시스템은 주변 차량들과 협력하여 익명의 은폐 영역을 구축한다. 본 논문에서는 블록체인을 적용한 분산형 신뢰 관리 시스템을 통해 차량의 위치 정보를 보호하는 최근 연구들을 살펴본 뒤에 향후 발전 방향에 대해 논하도록 하겠다.

In this paper, we proposed a miniaturized folded inverted F antenna with ISM-band (center frequency : 447 MHz) for mounting in intelligent parking sensor. First, to mount the antenna in the intelligent parking sensor module (72 mm × 70 mm) with limited size, a folded inverted F antenna was designed at low frequency 447 MHz (wavelength λ : 670 mm) of the ISM-band. As a result, it resonates in the ISM band and obtains suitable characteristic with a -10 dB bandwidth of 13 MHz (2.9%). In addition, the H-plane pattern by the vertical and horizontal elements represents the omni-directional patterns from which the null point is removed, and the E-plane has directivity in a specific direction. Finally, it is suitable as and antenna for vehicle management in parking lots.

The increased intelligence and speed of vehicle infotainment, whose main purpose was emergency and external communication, is showing the potential for application to various services such as navigation and autonomous driving. In particular, functionality for linking external devices and infrastructure is being strengthened due to advances in communication and networks. Under this trend, it is necessary to consider the direction of linkage with the cooperative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) for advanced vehicle services and driving. In addition, in the case of automobiles, future vehicle development concepts are being established based on the concept of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) in line with the trend of electrification beyond telematics and infotainment advancements, and such SDV linkage must be considered at the same time. In this paper, we consider the future direction of ITS and SDV linkage based on analysis of vehicle infotainment structure. First, for this purpose, we analyze the existing vehicle infotainment structure and architecture, and also present the structure of the SDV linked to it. Based on this, analysis and implications are drawn on the possibility of applying and linking standard-based C-ITS services with SDV devices.

For the commercialization For the commercialization of autonomous vehicles (AV), the operational design domain (ODD) of automated driving systems (ADS) is to be clearly defined. A common language and consistent format must be prepared so that AV-related stakeholders can understand ODD at the same level. Therefore, overseas countries are presenting a standardized ODD framework and developing scenarios that can evaluate ADS-specific functions based on ODD. However, ODD includes conditions reflecting the characteristics of each country, such as road environment, weather environment, and traffic environment. Thus, it is necessary to clearly understand the meaning of the items defined overseas and to harmonize them to reflect the specific domestic conditions. Therefore, in this study, domestic optimization of the ODD classification system was performed by analyzing the domestic driving environment based on international standards. The driving environment of currently operating self-driving car test districts (Sangam, Seoul, and Gwangju) was investigated using the developed domestic ODD items. Then, based on the results obtained, the ranges of the ODDs in each test district were determined and compared.

In this paper, Korea's standardization capacity in the ITS field was examined, and the status of participation in ITS standardization and services of ASEAN countries, and the degree of hope for cooperation with Korea was investigated and analyzed. Korea is recognized for its international competency in the field of ITS standardization, and most ASEAN countries, excluding Singapore, are found to have insufficient participation in ITS standardization and service introduction. In addition, most ASEAN countries are strongly hoping for ITS standardization cooperation with Korea, and the preliminary establishment of the ITS system architecture as the basis for ITS standardization was derived as a project of hope for cooperation. In addition, as a service field for introducing standardization, Freight transport was suggested as a priority application service field in order to improve the efficiency of logistics transportation between ASEAN countries.
