자율주행 맵은 도로의 주행환경 정보(차로, 도로 마크, 신호등의 위치 등)와 시간에 따라 변화하는 동적 주행환경 정보(장애물 출현, 일시적인 통행제한, 긴급한 도로 복구, 교차로 교통혼잡 등)로 구성된다. 자율주행 맵 생성 및 갱신 기술은 차로 구분선이나, 도로 교통과 관련된 실시간 갱신 주기 측면에서 더욱 세밀하고, 정확한 위치 정보가 요구되며, 또한, 최신성을 유지하는 기능을 가진다. 이러한 고정밀 지도의 세밀함과 정확성, 최신성은 자율주행 서비스를 위해 요구되는 필수적인 요소이다. 클라우드와 연계하여 생성되는 자율주행 맵은 차량 운행 시 수집되는 정보를 클라우드에 축적하여 가공함으로써, 시간과 인력 투입을 통해 데이터를 취득하고 지도를 구축하는 면에서 작업 품을 효과적으로 개선하는 데 도움이 된다. 유지와 보수 측면에서는 정기적으로 또는 신속하게 갱신하여 최신의 정보를 유지하는 장점이 있다. 본고에서는 자율주행 맵을 생성하고 갱신하는 클라우드 연계 플랫폼과 연구 결과 일부를 소개한다.

VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks) is a network between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure. VANET-specific characteristics such as high mobility, movement limitation, and signal interference by obstacles make it difficult to provide stable VANET services. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a vehicle type-based priority clustering method that improves the existing bus-based clustering. The proposed algorithm constructs a cluster by evaluating the priority, link quality, and connectivity based on the vehicle type, expected communication lifetime, and link degree of neighbor nodes. It tries to simplify the process of selecting a cluster head and increase cluster coverage by utilizing a predetermined priority based on the type of vehicle. The proposed algorithm is expected to become the basis for activating various services by contributing to providing stable services in a connected car environment.

This paper suggests a Path-planning algorithm for mobile agents. While there are a lot of studies on the path-planning for mobile agents, mathematical modeling of complex environment which constrained by spatio-temporally is very difficult and it is impossible to obtain the optimal solutions. In this paper, an optimal path-planning algorithm based on the graphic technique is presented. The working environment is divided into two areas, the one is free movable area and the other is not permissible area in which there exist obstacles and spatio-temporally constrained, and an optimal solution is obtained by using a new algorithm which is based on the well known ACO algorithm.

이 논문에서는 육상교통 환경에서 GPS 가시 위성의 수가 부족할 경우 사용자 위치 결정 성능 향상을 위해 시각도움정보를 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. GPS를 이용하여 정확한 위치를 구하기 위해서는 위성으로부터 송출된 신호가 수신기까지 도달하는데 걸린 시간을 정확히 구하는 것이 가장 중요한다. 이를 위하여 위성과 수신기 간의 시각이 정확히 동기가 되어야 하지만 대부분 저가 발진기를 사용하는 수신기의 측정치에는 수신기 시계오차가 포함되어 있다. GPS 측정치로부터 정확한 위치결정을 위해서는 수신기 시계 오차가 고려되어야 하기에 최소 4개의 위성이 필요하지만 건물, 차량, 나무 등의 장애물의 영향을 받는 육상교통 환경에서는 4개 미만의 위성이 관측되는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 이러한 경우 정상적인 방법으로 수신기 시계오차가 계산되지 않아 위치 결정 성능이 떨어지게 되므로, 시각도움정보를 활용하여 위치 결정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 시각도움정보는 가시 위성이 4개 이상의 경우 결정된 수신기 시계오차를 수신기 시계 고정법을 적용하여 생성하였다. 가시 위성수가 3개로 결정된 위치 결과와 시각도움정보를 적용하여 결정된 위치와의 비교를 통해 위치 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper is a study on precise point positioning using global navigation satellite system. This paper studies inherent barriers of global navigation satellite system such as increase in shadowed areas and positioning errors when signals cannot be received due to various environmental factors. It analyzes performance of various receivers, changes in number of satellite and DOP(Dilution of Precision) following changes in environment such as center of a road, side of a road, residential area, high building, and alleys. It also studies changes in positioning error. The objective of this study lies on understanding the range of positioning error following changes in environment and the cause of error, and enhancing the reliability and safety of the global navigation satellite system.

무선센서네트워크 시스템의 확산에 가장 큰 장애물인 한정된 전원으로 동작하는 특성에 따라 주기적인 배터리 교체에 소요되는 비용이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 원격지에서 에너지를 무선으로 공급하는 자기유지 지원 기술이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선에너지전송을 통해 무선센서네트워크 노드에 에너지를 전송하는 환경을 구축하고 환경에 따라 에너지 수신의 결과를 측정하는 테스트베드를 구축하였다. 구축된 테스트베드는 Powercast사의 915MHz 대역에서 3W EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) 에너지 송신장치, RF (Radio Frequency) 에너지 획득 모듈 그리고 TI사의 CC2530기반의 무선센서네트워크 노드로 구성되어있다. 또한 수신된 에너지의 양을 측정하고 기록하는 LabView기반의 모니터링 시스템이 구현되었다. 구현된 테스트베드는 다양한 환경에서 RF를 기반의 무선에너지전송을 통한 자기유지(Self-sustainable) 시스템의 전원공급 상태를 모니터링에 활용될 수 있다.

The goal of a simulator is to provide for the testing of new technologies and to facilitate the eventual transfer of these technologies to the applications. In the Development Step, Simulation can provide a cost effective alternative to expensive and hazardous field testing. In this paper, a 3D simulator is developed to test UUV navigation system bated on RVC model. The simulation system consists of a environment manager, objects and a 3D viewer. Objects are modeling all physical elements such as map, obstacle and UUV which reside in a underwater environment. Those objects are created and initialized by environment manager. The environment manager plays the role of intermediator which allows created objects to interact with each other, and transmits information on the objects to 3D viewer. The 3D viewer analyzes the received information and visualizes 3D graphic by using OpenGL primitives.

This paper introduces a method which can be effectively used for the path planning of UAV in a realistic map which has mountainous terrains, air defense networks and radars based on the Visibility Graph. Existing studies of Visibility Graph have been studied mainly for simple shape obstacles in 2-dimensional environment such as self-driving cars which avoid buildings. However, for UAV, Visibility Graph must be used in 3-dimensional environment for the variance of altitude. This occurs significant elapsed time increase because of the increase of the amount of the visibility of node sets. To solve this problem, this paper decrease the number of nodes which consists the complex terrain environments using convex hull based on Layered Visibility Graph. With convex hull method, this paper confirmed that the elapsed time is decreased about 99.5% compared to the case which has no decrease of the number of nodes.

The demand for the development of automated construction equipments is gradually increasing to deal with the current problems of construction technology, such as a lack of experienced workers, the aging of engineers, safety issues, etc. In particular, earth work such as excavation is very machine-dependent, and there has been a great deal of research on the development of an intelligent excavator, which involves great safety concerns. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop the technology to enhance the safety of intelligent excavation systems by developing an omnidirectional object detection technology for the intelligent excavator and applying it to a user-friendly system. The existing literature was reviewed, and the function of various sensor technologies was investigated and analyzed. Then, the best laser sensor was selected for an experiment to determine its effectiveness. An omnidirectional object detection algorithm was developed for a user interface program, and this can be used as the fundamental technology for the development of a safety management system for an intelligent excavator.

In this paper, as an anti-sway control strategy of container cranes, we investigate a variable structure control in which the moving load follows a given trajectory, whereas both the trolley and hoist controllers achieve their positioning problems. It is crucial, in an automated container terminal, that collisions should be avoided during the transference of containers from one place to another. It is also necessary, in the case of a quay crane, to select suitable loading and unloading trajectories of containers, so that possible collisions with surrounding obstacles are avoided. After a brief introduction of the mathematical model, a robust control scheme (i.e., a second-order sliding mode control that guarantees a fast and precise transference and a suppression of the resulted swing) is presented. Despite model uncertainties and unmodeled actuators dynamics, the swing suppression from the given trajectory is obtained by constraining the system motion on suitable sliding surfaces, which include both the desired path and the swing angle. The proposed controller has been tested with a laboratory-size pilot crane. Experimental results are provided.
