지능형 교통 시스템(ITS) 및 지능형 자동차의 운전자 보조 시스템에서 차선의 경계를 검출하기 위한 허프 변환 방법이 많이 연구되고 있다. 이 방법의 경우 차선을 효과적으로 인식하지만 차선 이외의 영역의 직선들도 인식할 수 있기 때문에 인식률이 떨어질 수 있고 연산속도가 늦어진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Hough space에 Accumulator cells를 최적화한 방법을 이용해서 차선 경계를 인식하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 바탕으로 H/W 검증을 통해 안드로이드용 어플리케이션을 개발하였다. 스마트 기기의 사용자라면 언제 어디서든 운전자의 주행안전을 위한 차선검출 및 차선이탈 경보시스템을 사용 할 수 있도록 하였다. 소프트웨어 검증은 OpenCV를 사용하여 93.1%의 높은 차선인식률을 보였으며, 하드웨어 실시간 검증은 안드로이드용 휴대폰을 사용하여 68.89%의 차선인식률을 보였다.

자율주행 차량은 다양한 센서를 활용하여 사람과 유사한 수준으로 실시간 도로환경 변화를 인지, 환경 변화에 대한 적절한 판단 및 제어를 수행하여야 한다. 특히 영상센서는 차선인식 기능을 통해 주행방향 결정 및 차로이탈 방지 등 조향제어 수행을 위한 인지에 활용된다. 하지만 관련 성능기준은 ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System)와 연계된 '운전자 보조' 역할에 초점이 맞춰져, 자율주행시 요구되는 '주체적 상황 인지'를 위한 성능조건과 다를 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행시 차선인식 기능이 정상적으로 작동되지 않는 상황이 지속될 때 차량 진행방향과 도로 선형방향의 불일치에 따라 발생되는 횡방향 차로이탈을 차량의 이동 궤적을 기반하여 추정하고, 안전성 확보를 위한 차로이탈 허용 수준 및 영상센서 성능수준을 제시하였다. 분석 결과 승용차 조건에서 차선인식 기능이 1초 이상 연속적인 오작동을 일으킨다면 차로이탈에 의한 위험한 상황에 놓일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 자율주행 차량을 위한 차선인식 기능 평가 시 현재 기준보다 큰 횡방향 차로이탈상황에 대한 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and street furniture information collecting car like as MMS(Mobile Mapping System), they require object location estimation method for recognizing spatial information of object in road images. But, the case of conventional methods, these methods require additional hardware module for gathering spatial information of object and have high computational complexity. In this paper, for a coordinate of road sign in single camera image, a position estimation scheme of object in road images is proposed using the relationship between the pixel and object size in real world. In this scheme, coordinate value and direction are used to get coordinate value of a road sign in images after estimating the equation related on pixel and real size of road sign. By experiments with test video set, it is confirmed that proposed method has high accuracy for mapping estimated object coordinate into commercial map. Therefore, proposed method can be used for MMS in commercial region.

신호등은 운전자가 반드시 인지하고 조치를 취해야 할 교통 정보를 포함하고 있으며 이를 실시간으로 검출하여 운전자에게 알리는 것은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 신호등의 크기가 전체 영상에서 차지하는 비율이 낮고, 다른 객체에 의하여 가려지는 경우가 많아 실제 신호등 검출이 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 색상 기반 돌출맵과 형태학 정보를 이용한 신호등을 검출 방법을 제안한다. 돌출맵은 시각적 주의집중 영역을 검출하는데 사용되는데, 이를 개량한 색상 기반 돌출맵은 신호등의 색상과 형태를 검출 것에 적합함을 실험을 통하여 확인하였으며, 제안된 모델은 PC 환경에서 98.14%의 검출율과 83.52%의 재현율을 달성하였다.

With the development of autonomous vehicle, there has been active research on advanced driver assistance system for road marking detection using vision sensor and 3D Laser scanner. However, vision sensor has the weak points that detection is difficult in situations involving severe illumination variance, such as at night, inside a tunnel or in a shaded area; and that processing time is long because of a large amount of data from both vision sensor and 3D Laser scanner. Accordingly, this paper proposes a road marking detection and classification method using single 2D Laser scanner. This method road marking detection and classification based on accumulation distance data and intensity data acquired through 2D Laser scanner. Experiments using a real autonomous vehicle in a real environment showed that calculation time decreased in comparison with 3D Laser scanner-based method, thus demonstrating the possibility of road marking type classification using single 2D Laser scanner.

Autonomous vehicle is a car which drives itself without any human interaction. SAE provides technical definitions for autonomous and international standards for test evaluation. Accordingly, automobile industry is actively researching development and evaluation of various ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), : representative technology of autonomous technology. Recently, ADAS is in the commercialization level such as ACC, LKAS, AEB, and HDA etc. And it also has issues about safety evaluation. The purpose of HDA in ADAS is reduced the driving load on highway. It has a function which can maintain lane keeping and control distance from forward vehicle. This function is evaluated to be useful for accident prevention. Therefore, this paper proposes the safety evaluation scenario of HDA, considering the domestic highway design criteria and the situation that may arise on the actual highway. We compared and analyzed the data acquired through simulation and actual vehicle test. And verified the reliability of the proposed safety evaluation scenario. The verified result is expected safety evaluation of HDA is possible even under the bad condition, which cannot be tested.

Currently, a lot of researches about high risk test scenarios for autonomous vehicle and advanced driver assistance systems have been carried out to evaluate driving safety. This study proposes new type of test scenario that evaluate the driving safety for autonomous vehicle by reconstructing accident database of national automotive sampling system crashworthiness data system (NASS-CDS). NASS-CDS has a lot of detailed accident data in real fields, but there is no data of accurate velocity in accident moments. So in order to propose scenario generation method from accident database, we try to reconstruct accident moment from accident sketch diagram. At the same step, we propose an accident of occurrence frequency which is based on accident codes and road shapes. The reconstruction paths from accident database are integrated into evaluation of simulation environment. Our proposed methods and processor are applied to MILS (Model In the Loop Simulation) and VILS (Vehicle In the Loop Simulation) test environments. In this paper, a reasonable method of accident reconstruction typology for autonomous vehicle evaluation of feasibility is proposed.

In recent years, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Autonomous Vehicle Technology have actively studied around the world. In order to achieve the purpose of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle Technology, it must be obtained accurate and reliable positioning. However, the problem of positioning in the urban area is a low position accuracy caused by the reduction of the number of visible satellites due to high buildings. In this paper, we analyzed the availability of precise positioning system in urban area are using GPS/BDS integrated system. For this study, GPS and BDS satellite signals were collected using two low-cost receivers in the open sky and a designed software based platform for precise positioning performance analysis. And we analyzed the precise positioning performance by changing the mask angle considering the urban area. From the results, it can be confirmed that the performance of precise positioning of GPS only and BDS only decrease in the environment where mask angle is $40^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$, however, GPS/BDS integrated system maintains high performance of precise positioning.

With the development of autonomous driving technology, as the use of software in vehicles increases, the complexity of the system increases and the difficulty of development increases. Developments that meet ISO 26262 must be carried out to reduce the malfunctions that may occur in vehicles where the system is becoming more complex. ISO 26262 for the functional safety of the vehicle industry proposes to consider functional safety from the design stage to all stages of development. Specifically at the software level, the requirements to be complied with during development and the requirements to be complied with during verification are defined. However, it is not clearly expressed about specific design methods or development methods, and it is necessary to supplement development guidelines. The importance of analysis and verification of requirements is increasing due to the development of technology and the increase of system complexity. The vehicle industry must carry out developments that meet functional safety requirements while carrying out various development activities. We propose a process that reflects the perspective of system engineering to meet the smooth application and developmentrequirements of ISO 26262. In addition, the safety analysis/verification FMEA processforthe safety of the proposed ISO 26262 function was conducted based on the FCAS (Forward Collision Avoidance Assist System) function applied to autonomous vehicles and the results were confirmed. In addition, the safety analysis/verification FMEA process for the safety of the proposed ISO 26262 function was conducted based on the FCAS (Forward Collision Avoidance Assist System) function applied to the advanced driver assistance system and the results were confirmed.
