In this study, we consider the challenges in motion planning for automated driving systems. Most of the existing online motion-planning algorithms, which take dynamics into account, find it difficult to operate in an environment with narrow passages. Some of the existing algorithms overcome this by offline preprocessing if environment is known. In this work an online algorithm for motion planning with dynamics in an unknown cluttered environment with narrow passages is presented. It utilizes an idea of hybrid planning with sampling- and discretization-based motion planners, which run simultaneously in a full configuration space and a derived reduced space. The proposed algorithm has been implemented and tested with a real autonomous vehicle. It provides significant improvements in computational time performance over basic planning algorithms and allows the generation of smoother paths than those generated by the recently developed hybrid motion planners.

Seat belt is an important means to protect drivers and passengers from the damages by car accidents. Many ways to increase the seat belt wearing rate have been proposed through human factors researches. The primary ways to increase seat belt use rate have emphasized the intention-behavior cycle. This study focused on the gap between intention and behavior. The gap may be bridged by the habit for seat belt use behavior. Divers following a desirable car starting sequence, from sitting on the chair, fastening seat belt, starting engine to moving a car, reported that higher belt wearing rate and unconscious behavior (automated response). That is, the habitualized procedure knowledge prevented drivers from forgetting to fasten their seat belt. The reminder systems such as warning light and warning sound could not significantly give an influence in remembering to fasten seat belt. In order to increase the seat belt use rate, the desirable car starting procedure should be included in the driving education program.

Crawler-type hydraulic devices facilitate forward and backward driving of construction equipment by converting power into mechanical energy. The existing hydraulic device performance test process is time- and labor-intensive. This study aims to improve efficiency and productivity by automating the hydraulic device production performance test processes, which have been separately conducted so far. We also used SolidWorksⓇ, a 3D modeling program, and ANSYSⓇ, a structural analysis tool, for structural analysis and to verify the suitability of fixing pins required for connecting a hydraulic device to performance test equipment. Our results that employing an automated hydraulic device performance test process improves efficiency.

Accurate state estimation is important for autonomous driving. However, the estimation error increases in situations that a lot of longitudinal slip occurs. Therefore, this paper presents a vehicle state estimation method using an Extended Kalman Filter. The filter estimates the states of the host vehicle robust to wheel slip. It utilizes the measurements of the four-wheel rotational speeds, longitudinal acceleration, yaw-rate, and steering wheel angle. Nonlinear measurement model is represented by Ackermann Model. The main advantage of this approach is the accurate estimation of yaw rate due to the measurement of the steering wheel angle. The proposed algorithm is verified in scenarios of autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane change (LC), lane keeping (LK) using an automated vehicle. The results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees accurate estimation in such scenarios.

Oblique car to car frontal impact is quite common on the road and series of studies have been done to realize this in the lab. At a certain angle of oblique crash a car (ego) is to travel at a speed of xkm/h to hit the other car(traffic) which is approaching to ego at a speed of ykm/h. Symmetry of the speed of two vehicles, x vs. y, is studied with respect to the impulse of the ego vehicle as well as occupant injury. If there is symmetry of speed of two vehicles, number of case studies needed to analyze the oblique frontal impact may decrease: ex. in the case of 30degree oblique crash 40km/h (ego) / 80km/h (traffic) will show the similar behavior as 80km/h (ego) / 40km/h (traffic) crash.

Commercial use of autonomous vehicles is to come soon. So far most of responsibility of the accident is on the human driver with conventional vehicles whereas that will be on the car OEM and transportation related organizations with autonomous vehicles, which asks car OEM's and government to do vast study of car crash in various conditions. Test protocols need amendment and to be newly enacted to reflect new findings from the study aforementioned. Rigid stationary barrier and moving or stationary deformable barrier as well as car to car test which is same as actual accident can be utilized to simulate the crash happening on the road. Among those 3 test methods, rigid stationary barrier is most economic and has good repeatability. Limitation as well as advantage of the rigid stationary barrier is studied through comparison between car to car crash and oblique rigid barrier crash.

본 논문에서는 420km/h 고속으로 이동하는 열차 환경에서 LTE-R 무선링크 성능을 분석함에 있어 현차 시험에 제약이 있으므로 무선링크 시뮬레이션과 계측기를 이용하여 고속 이동에 따른 무선링크 Throughput 성능을 분석하였다. 성능 분석 결과 QPSK와 16QAM 변조 방식은 고속 이동으로 인한 성능 열화가 미미하지만 64QAM 변조 방식은 성능 열화가 크고 이로 인하여 Throughput 감소가 크게 발생함을 알 수 있었다.

Today, with the development of the Internet and mobile technology, consumers' purchasing patterns have shifted from offline to online. In addition, due to the recent COVID-19, online purchases have significantly increased, and accordingly, the courier industry for logistics delivery has also grown significantly. Various logistics robots are being operated in many industrial and can reduce the labor intensity and physical and mental fatigue of workers. However, if the logistics robot does not properly recognize the people or environment around it, it can lead to a serious accident. We conducted that how logistics robots can perform safe work in a working environment such as a logistics warehouse through the application of ISO/DIS 21448 (SOTIF) to autonomous logistics transport robots. This result is expected to contribute to the operation of unmanned logistics warehouses using AGV.

Construction robotics is rapidly forming a market in conjunction with the development of sensing and artificial intelligence technologies. The layout work for accurately constructing the shape and dimensions of the building frame requires high accuracy and precision, and is one of the high demands for productivity and quality improvement through construction automation. Thus, as a preliminary study, we derived the elemental factors and performance requirements for developing an automated layout robot. In addition, alternatives on driving and marking units were investigated based on literature review and practioner's interview. The result of this study will be used as a basic data for the layout robot design.

본 연구에서는 운전 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 자율주행 환경을 구현한 후 3-수준 자율주행 조건에서 자율주행 차량 (automated vehicle: AV)으로부터 운전자에게 전달되는 제어권 인수 요구(takeover request: TOR) 정보의 양상(시각, 청각 및 시각+청각) 및 도로 형태(직선도로와 곡선도로)에 따라 운전자의 제어권 인수 시간(takeover time: TOT) 및 정신적 작업부하(제어권 인수 이후에 운전자들이 경험한 주관적 작업부하와 심장박동수에서의 변화)가 어떻게 차별화되는지 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, AV로부터 TOR이 제시된 이후 실험참가자들이 보인 TOT에 대한 분석 결과, TOR 정보양상의 측면에서는 시각 정보가 가장 빠른 TOT를 이끌어 낸 반면 청각정보 조건에서 가장 느렸고, 도로 형태 측면에서는 직선도로 조건에 비해 곡선도로 조건에서의 TOT가 유의하게 더 느렸으며, 특히 청각 정보 조건에서 도로 형태에 따른 TOT에서의 차이가 가장 컸다. 둘째, 정신적 작업부하에 대한 분석 결과, TOR 정보가 시각 혹은 시각+청각적으로 제시된 조건에 비해 청각적으로 제시된 조건에서 주관적 작업부하 측정치와 심장박동수 변화 크기 모두 전반적으로 더 낮았고 특히, 심장박동수 변화의 경우 이러한 경향은 곡선도로 조건에서만 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 TOR 정보의 양상과 도로 형태에 따라 운전자의 TOT와 정신적 작업부하 수준이 달라질 수 있고, 특히 TOT가 빠를수록 정신적 작업부하 수준은 상대적으로 더 높아질 수 있음을 시사한다.
