In recent years, with the development of autonomous driving technology, high-performance artificial intelligence computing hardware platforms have been developed that can process multi-sensor data, object recognition, and vehicle control for autonomous vehicles. Most of these hardware platforms have been developed overseas, such as NVIDIA's DRIVE PX, Audi's zFAS, Intel GO, Mobile Eye's EyeQ, and BAIDU's Apollo Pilot. In Korea, however, ETRI's artificial intelligence computing platform has been developed. In this paper, we discuss the specifications, structure, performance, and development status centering on hardware platforms that support autonomous driving rather than the overall contents of autonomous driving technology.

This paper presents the design and implementation of embedded systems and autonomous path generation for autonomous speed sprayer. Autonomous Orchard Systems can be divided into embedded controller and path generation module. Embedded controller receives analog sensor data, on/off switch data and control linear actuator, break, clutch and steering module. In path generation part, we get 3D cloud point using Velodyne VLP16 LIDAR sensor and process the point cloud to generate maps, do localization, generate driving path. Then, it finally generates velocity and rotation angle in real time, and sends the data to embedded controller. Embedded controller controls steering wheel based on the received data. The developed autonomous speed sprayer is verified in test-bed with apple tree-shaped artworks.

This paper presents a development of throttle and brake controller for autonomous vehicle simulation environment. Most of 3D simulator control autonomous vehicle by throttle and brake command. Therefore additional longitudinal controller is required to calculate pedal input from desired acceleration. The controller consists of two parts, feedback controller and feedforward controller. The feedback controller is designed to compensate error between the actual acceleration and desired acceleration calculated from autonomous driving algorithm. The feedforward controller is designed for fast response and the output is determined by the actual vehicle speed and desired acceleration. To verify the performance of the controller, simulations were conducted for various scenarios, and it was confirmed that the controller can successfully follow the target acceleration.

A driver-vehicle model means the integrated dynamic model that is able to estimate the steering wheel angle from the driver's desired path based on the dynamic characteristics of the driver and vehicle. Autonomous driving robot for factory automation has individual four-wheels which are driven by electronic motors. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of several four-wheel steering systems with the simultaneously steerable front and rear wheels are investigated and compared by means of the driver-vehicle model. A diver-vehicle model is proposed by using the PID control to velocity and trajectory of control autonomous driving robot. To determine the optimum speed of a autonomous driving robot, steady-state circle simulation is carried out with the ADAMS program and MATLAB control model.

시각센서 기반 자율주행 시스템 중 소실점을 이용한 제어기법은 자율주행에 있어 가장 보편적인 방법이다. 그러나 차선이 존재하지 않거나 소실된 경우, 차선검출과 소실점 추정이 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 카메라 영상 이미지를 CNN에 적용하여 도로의 소실점과 소실점을 만드는 좌, 우측의 소실점 라인을 예측하고, 예측된 결과로부터 자율주행을 위한 조향 제어기를 설계하였다. 모의실험 결과 CNN을 적용한 제안한 방법이 실선 차선의 유무와 관계없이 도로의 중심을 잘 추종하였으며, 일반적인 소실점을 사용한 제어기법보다 성능이 뛰어남을 확인하였다.

This paper suggests a car-following algorithm for urban environment, with multiple target candidates. Until now, advanced driver assistant systems (ADASs) and self-driving technologies have been researched to cope with diverse possible scenarios. Among them, car-following driving has been formed the groundwork of autonomous vehicle for its integrity and flexibility to other modes such as smart cruise system (SCC) and platooning. Although the field has a rich history, most researches has been focused on the shape of target trajectory, such as the order of interpolated polynomial, in simple single-lane situation. However, to introduce the car-following mode in urban environment, realistic situation should be reflected: multi-lane road, target's unstable driving tendency, obstacles. Therefore, the suggested car-following system includes both in-lane preceding vehicle and other factors such as side-lane targets. The algorithm is comprised of three parts: path candidate generation and optimal trajectory selection. In the first part, initial guesses of desired paths are calculated as polynomial function connecting host vehicle's state and vicinal vehicle's predicted future states. In the second part, final target trajectory is selected using quadratic cost function reflecting safeness, control input efficiency, and initial objective such as velocity. Finally, adjusted path and control input are calculated using model predictive control (MPC). The suggested algorithm's performance is verified using off-line simulation using Matlab; the results shows reasonable car-following motion planning.

Autonomous driving is no longer atechnology of the future since the development of autonomous vehicles has now been realized, and many technologies have already been developed for the convenience of drivers. For example, autonomous vehicles are one of the most important drive assistant systems. Among these many drive assistant systems, Cruise Control Systems are now a typical technology. This system constantly maintains a vehicle's speed and distance from a vehicle in front by using Radar or LiDAR sensors in real time. Cruise Control Systems do not only serve their original role, but also fulfill another role as a 'Driving Safety' measure as they can detect a situation that a driver did not predict and can intervene by assuming a vehicle's longitude control. However, these systems have the limitation of only focusing on driver safety. Therefore, in this paper, an Intelligent Cruise Control System that utilizes the path planning method and GIS is proposed to overcome some existing limitations.

자율주행차량은 차량에 장착된 다양한 센서를 통해 주행환경을 인지하고 수집된 정보를 기반으로 판단 및 제어한다. 센서 기술 및 수집된 데이터를 처리하는 알고리즘의 발달로 자율주행기술의 수준은 향상되고 있으나 완벽한 자율주행기술의 구현에는 이르지 못하고 있는 한계점을 인프라를 중심으로 하는 자율협력주행을 통해 극복하려는 움직임을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행차량의 측위를 보정할 수 있는 인프라로서 기준을 제공하는 측위 보정 표지를 개발하였다. 우선 기존의 자율주행을 위한 측위 기술 현황에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 다음으로 정사각형의 반사면 두 개로 구성된 1차 제작물과 각 반사면의 상하 길이를 늘인 2차 제작물에 대해 포인트 클라우드 개수를 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 1차 및 2차 제작물 모두 최소 15m 거리에서 시설물을 라이다 센서로 인식할 수 있었고, 상하 길이를 확장한 2차 제작물이 1차 제작물보다 포인트 클라우드 개수도 더 많으며 시설물의 형상을 구체적으로 표현하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the control algorithm fur an autonomous vehicle is studied and applied to an actual 2 wheel-driven vehicle system. In order to control a nonholonomic system, the kinematic model for an autonomous vehicle is constructed by relative velocity relationship about the virtual point at distance from the vehicle's frame. And the optimal controller that based on the kinematic model is operated on purpose to track a reference vehicle's path. The actual system is designed with named 'HYAVI' and the system controller is applied. Because all the results of simulation don't satisfy the driving conditions of HYAVI, a reformed control algorithm that satisfies an actual autonomous vehicle is applied at HYAVI. At the results of actual experiments, the path tracking works very well by the reformed control algorithm. An autonomous vehicle that applied this control algorithm can be easily used for a path generation algorithm.

Wireless communication for train control is an active research field. The World Railway Federation in Europe developed GSM-R, which integrates the GSM-based voice call standard and train control signals. To provide advanced railway services, the LTE-R wireless communication system was developed in Korea for passenger services and wireless image information required by the railroad industry. Recently, direct communication technology for autonomous train driving has been studied to decrease the driving interval, and research is being conducted on a hyperloop train control system that runs at a maximum speed of 1,220km/h in a subvacuum environment of 0.001 atmosphere. In this paper, we summarize the trends in wireless communication technologies used for GSM-R/LTE-R railway systems. For future wireless communication in railway systems, we discuss autonomous train driving and the hyperloop railway control system, define wireless communication technology, and discuss trends in domestic and foreign technologies.
