자율주행기술이 교통류에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서는 자율차와 비자율차 간의 상호작용을 분석하는 것이 중요한 이슈이다. 특히 자율주행기술을 활용한 유용한 서비스 중의 하나인 군집주행은 주변의 비자율 차량의 주행행태에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 군집주행 환경에서 비자율차의 차로변경행태 분석하는 것이며, 3단계의 실험 및 조사를 수행하였다. 1단계 영상기반 인지특성 분석을 통해 군집주행 환경에서 어떠한 반응행태를 보일 것인지를 조사하였으며, 2단계 주행시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 비자율차의 차로변경행태를 분석하였다. 차로변경행태를 분석하기 위해 차로변경시간과 교통류의 안전성을 나타낼 수 있는 지표인 가속소음을 이용하였으며, 자율차의 시스템 보급률(Market Penetration Rate, MPR)과 피실험자 인적요소에 따른 비자율차의 주행행태 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 마지막 단계인 NASA-TLX(NASA Task Load Index)를 통해 비자율차 운전자의 작업부하를 평가하였다. 분석결과 군집차량군 주변의 비자율차 운전자는 심리적인 부담감을 느끼며, MPR이 증가할수록 차로변경시간이 길어지고 30-40대 운전자 또는 여성 운전자의 경우 안전성이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 도출된 결과는 자율차와 비자율차의 상호작용을 반영한 보다 현실성 높은 교통시뮬레이션 실험 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있고, 이를 기반으로 자율협력주행 환경에서 적용 가능한 교통운영관리전략 수립을 효과적으로 지원할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a simulation tool for developing and evaluating automated driving systems' lane change algorithm in urban congested traffic. The behavior of surrounding vehicles was modeled based on driver driving data measured in urban congested traffic. Surrounding vehicles are divided into aggressive vehicles and non-aggressive vehicles. The degree of aggressiveness is determined according to the lateral position to initiate interaction with the vehicle in the next lane. In addition, the desired velocity and desired time gap of each vehicle are all randomly assigned. The simulation was conducted by reflecting the cognitive limitations and control performance of the autonomous vehicle. It was possible to confirm the change in the lane change performance according to the variation of the lane change decision algorithm.

This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) approach to control the steering angle in an autonomous vehicle. In designing a highly automated driving control algorithm, one of the research issues is to cope with probable risky situations for enhancement of safety. While human drivers maneuver the vehicle, they determine the appropriate steering angle and acceleration based on the predictable trajectories of surrounding vehicles. Likewise, it is required that the automated driving control algorithm should determine the desired steering angle and acceleration with the consideration of not only the current states of surrounding vehicles but also their predictable behaviors. Then, in order to guarantee safety to the possible change of traffic situation surrounding the subject vehicle during a finite time-horizon, we define a safe driving envelope with the consideration of probable risky behaviors among the predicted probable behaviors of surrounding vehicles over a finite prediction horizon. For the control of the vehicle while satisfying the safe driving envelope and system constraints over a finite prediction horizon, a MPC approach is used in this research. At each time step, MPC based controller computes the desired steering angle to keep the subject vehicle in the safe driving envelope over a finite prediction horizon. Simulation and experimental tests show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

To solve social problems such as traffic accidents caused by human driver factors and to guarantee the convenience of movement, research on the commercialization of automated vehicles is being actively conducted worldwide. In automated driving levels 2 and 3, the driver must be ready to drive at any time as the automated driving system sometimes requires manual driving by the driver. The purpose of this research is to analyze the trends in global automated vehicle guidelines and prepare guidelines for the characteristics of human factors necessary for the control rights transition system of automated vehicles. To this end, we reviewed at the guidelines for automated vehicles in the US, Germany, and Japan; ISO international standards; domestic automated vehicle standards; and the EU AdaptiVe project. In addition, a guideline is presented that can be referenced and applied by organizations related to automated vehicle manufacturing and operation. It was developed by utilizing the results of our studies on the human factors affecting the guideline of control rights transition. As national laws and regulations and continuous technology development for commercialization of automated vehicles are in progress, further research into and the revision of guidelines for safe automated vehicle production and use should be continued.

This study presents the direction of data triggers and elements to be recorded in automated vehicles in the future in relation to the event data recorder (EDR) and data storage system for automated driving (DSSAD). It does not distinguish between the EDR and DSSAD, but suggests data triggers and elements in preparation for overall automated vehicle accidents and dangerous situations. To propose, the current status of discussions on EDR/DSSAD internationally and the case of investigating accidents with automated vehicles under temporary driving licenses in Korea were analyzed. Based on the analysis, the direction of data triggers and elements of the EDR/DSSAD of automated vehicles were presented.

As a sales volume of autonomous vehicle continually grows up, regulations on this new technology are being introduced around the world. For example, safety standards for the Level 3 automated driving system was promulgated in December 2019 by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korean government. In order to promote the development of autonomous vehicle technology and ensure its safety simultaneously, the regulations on the automated driving systems should be phased in to keep pace with technology progress and market expansion. However, according to SAE J3016, which is well known to classify the level of the autonomous vehicle technologies, the description for classification is rather abstract. Therefore it is necessary to describe the automated driving system in more detail in terms of the 'Level.' In this study, the functions and characteristics of automated driving system are carefully classified at each level based on the commentary in the Informal Working Group (IWG) of the UN WP29. In particular, regarding the Level 4, technical issues are characterized with respect to vehicle tasks, driver tasks, system performance and regulations. The important features of the autonomous vehicles to meet Level 4 are explored on the viewpoints of driver replacement, emergency response and connected driving performance.

자율주행자동차 평가 시나리오는 대부분 자율주행자동차가 직면할 일반적인 주행 상황을 기반으로 개발되고 있다. 하지만 실제 주행 중에는 다양한 상황이 발생하고 때때로 복합적인 판단이 필요한 상황이 발생하기도 한다. 본 연구는 보다 안전한 자율주행자동차의 주행을 위하여 복합적인 판단이 필요한 상황을 딜레마 상황으로 새롭게 정의하고, 각 상황에서의 주행안전성 확보를 위해 필요한 운전 전략을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 자율주행자동차 윤리 가이드라인, 자동차사고 과실비율 인정기준, 그리고 자율주행자동차 개발자 제안을 바탕으로 딜레마 상황들을 정의하였다. 또한, 정의된 딜레마 상황들에 대하여 운전 전략 수립을 위한 운동 영향요소를 탐색하였으며, 「도로교통법」에 따른 운전 영향요소의 우선순위와 그에 따른 운전 전략을 도출하였다.

The seating postures of passengers in the automated driving vehicle are possible in atypical forms such as rear-facing and lying down. It is necessary to improve devices such as airbags and seat belts to protect occupants from injury in accidents of the automated driving vehicle, and collision safety evaluation tests must be newly developed. The purpose of this study is to define representative types of head-on collision accidents to develop collision standards for autonomous vehicles that take into account changes in driving behavior and occupants' postures. 150 frontal collision cases remained by filtering (accident videos, images, AIS 2+, passenger car, etc…) and random sampling from approximately 320,000 accidents claimed by a major insurance company over the past 5 years. The most frequent accident type is a head-on collision between a vehicle going straight and a vehicle turning left from the opposite side, accounting for 54.7% of all accidents, and most of these accidents occur in permissive left turns. The next most common frontal collision is the center-lane violation by drowsy driving and careless driving, accounting for 21.3% of the total. For the two types above, data such as vehicle speed, contact point/area, and PDOF at the moment of impact are obtained through accident reconstruction using PC-Crash. As a result, two types of autonomous vehicle crash safety test scenarios are proposed: (1) a frontal oblique collision test based on the accident types between a straight vehicle and a left-turning vehicle, and (2) a small overlap collision test based on the head-on accidents of center-lane violation.

Recently, automobile industries have developed ADAS, smart cars, connected cars, automated driving systems, which use a variety of sensor systems - ultrasonics, cameras, lidars and radars - and communication systems. It is necessary to examine the electromagnetic immunity of vehicles equipped with the sensor systems due to the fact that the normal operation of those systems is very important to the safety of the vehicles. The electromagnetic immunity tests are carried out in an electromagnetic semi anechoic chamber, which is cut off from the outside. It is difficult to create test environments in which the camera sensor systems of vehicles work properly in the test chamber. In this study, test jigs were designed and tested and as a result they are shown to be effective to create test environments for electromagnetic immunity tests of vehicles equipped with camera sensors. We also proposed additional safety standards for immunity tests of vehicles with camera systems that currently do not exist.
