This paper describes effectiveness of accident reduction on vehicles equipped with AEB using accident data occurring in Korea. During the statistical period, we used the number of vehicles which are covered by auto insurance and the number of accidents. To maximize the reduction effect of accidents caused by the driver's carelessness, the analysis was limited to Physical Damage Coverage that covers the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged vehicle caused by the driver's fault. Due to Personal Information Protection Law, it was not capable of comparing the same vehicle using Vehicle Identification Number in this study. Instead of that, we used it as a similar vehicle, so there are limits to the comparison and analysis results. As a result of this study, we have found that the effect of reducing accidents was different depending on the vehicle class, but it was generally concluded that the number of accidents decreased when the vehicle was equipped with an AEB system. Domestic research on the AEB effect of reducing accidents is not active yet. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to analyze the effects according to various conditions such as driver's age, occupation and gender as well as expanding the study models in the future.

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.

Recently a traffic accident of heavy duty vehicles under the mandatory installation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is often reported in the media. Heavy duty vehicle accidents are normally occurring a high number of passenger's injury. According to report of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, FCW (Forward Collision Warning) and AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) were associated with a statistically significant 12% reduction in the rate of police-reportable crashes per vehicle miles traveled, and a significant 41% reduction in the rear-end crash rate of large trucks. Also many countries around the world, including Korea, are studying the effects of ADAS installation on accident reduction. Traffic accident statistics of passenger vehicle for business purpose in TMACS (Traffic safety information Management Complex System in Korea) tends to remarkably reduce the number of deaths due to the accident (2017(211), 2018(170), 2019(139)), but the number of traffic accidents (2017(8,939), 2018(9,181), 2019(10,095)) increases. In this paper, it is introduced a traffic accident case that could lead to high injury traffic accidents by being equipped with AEB in a bus. AEB reduces accidents and damage in general but malfunction of AEB could occur severe accident. Therefore, proper education is required to use AEB system, simply instead of focusing on developing and installing AEB to prevent traffic accidents. Traffic accident of AEB equipped vehicle may arise a new dispute between a driver's fault and vehicle defect. It is highly recommended to regulate an advanced event data recorder system.

This paper addresses the effective and quantitative image DB construction for the development of front looking camera systems. The automotive industry has expanded the capability of front camera solutions that will help ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) applications targeting Euro NCAP function requirements. These safety functions include AEB(Autonomous Emergency Braking), TSR(Traffic Signal Recognition), LDW(Lane Departure Warning) and FCW(Forward Collision Warning). In order to guarantee real road safety performance, the driving image DB logged under various real road conditions should be used to train core object classifiers and verify the function performance of the camera system. However, the driving image DB would entail an invalid and time consuming task without proper guidelines. The standard working procedures and design factors required for each step to build an effective image DB for reliable automotive front looking camera systems are proposed.

In this paper, an automated vehicle intersection collision accident was analyzed through simulation. Recently, the more automated vehicles are distributed, the more accidents related to automated vehicles occur. Accidents may show different trends depending on the sensor characteristics of the automated vehicle and the performance of the accident prevention system. Based on NASS-CDS (National Automotive Sampling System-Crashworthiness Data System) and TAAS (Traffic Accident Analysis System), four scenarios are derived and simulations are performed. Automated vehicles are applied with a virtual system consisting of an autonomous emergency braking system and algorithms that predict the route and avoid collisions. The simulations are conducted by changing the sensor angle, vehicle speed, the range of the sensor and vehicle speed range. A range of variables considered vehicle collision were derived from the simulation.

본 논문에서는 AEB(Autonomous Emergency Braking)가 장착된 승용차의 차대보행자 충돌상황에 관한 AEB의 기능을 평가하는 실험을 실시하였다. 실차 실험은 2017년식 3,000cc 차량을 대상으로 약 30~60km/h의 속도에서 보행자 정면 및 측면 충돌 시나리오를 설정하여 수행되었다. 실험 결과, AEB가 장착된 차량은 약 30km/h 속도로 주행시 모든 실험조건에서 AEB가 작동하여 보행자 더미를 충돌하기 전에 정지하였다. 그러나 약 40~60km/h의 속도에서는 모든 실험조건에서 실험차량의 AEB 작동으로 속도는 감소되었으나 보행자 더미와는 충돌하였다. 이러한 속도 변화에 대한 paired t-test를 실시한 결과, 유의확률 0.05에서 AEB에 따른 속도차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 AEB의 속도 감소 폭은 차량실험 시나리오별로 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로부터, 현재의 AEB는 차량 속도가 30km/h에서는 보행자와의 충돌을 예방할 수 있으나, 40~60km/h 속도에서는 차량 감속을 통한 보행자의 상해정도는 경감시킬 수 있으나 보행자와의 충돌을 피할 수 없는 것으로 판단된다.

첨단 운전자 보조시스템(ADAS, Advanced Driver Assist System)의 주요 기술에는 적응형 순항 제어(ACC, Advanced Cruise Control), 주행 조향보조 시스템(LKAS, Lane Keeping Assist System), 자동 긴급제동 시스템(AEB, Autonomous Emergency Braking) 등이 있다. ADAS 중 LKAS는 카메라(camera)와 적외선 센서(sensor)를 사용하여 운전자가 의도하지 않은 차선이탈이 발생하였을 때, 조향 보조장치를 제어하여 주행 차선으로 복귀하는 시스템이다. 이러한 시스템의 안전성 평가와 검증을 위해 실차시험을 진행한다. 그러나 LKAS 동작 후 임의의 추가 조향각이 인가될 경우에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 선행연구에서 제안한 시나리오에 대해 Prescan을 이용하여 추가 조향각 인가 모델링(modeling)기법을 개발하고 시뮬레이션(simulation) 하고, 실차시험을 통해 취득한 데이터(data)와의 비교분석으로 모델링 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 앞바퀴부터 차선까지 최대 거리오차는 0.56 m이며, 시뮬레이션과 실차시험의 차선 복귀 속도의 차이로 인해 발생하였다. 시뮬레이션과 달리 실차시험은 주행 차선으로 복귀 속도가 느려 이탈하는 차의 횡방향 변화가 상대적으로 적어 시뮬레이션과 오차가 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 시뮬레이션과 실차시험 값의 비교분석 결과 차선복귀 속도 차이는 있지만 앞바퀴부터 차선까지 거리가 약 0.5m로 수렴하는 경향성을 나타내어 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In the world, traffic accidents and environmental pollution caused by the increase of vehicles are becoming a serious social problem. According to the 2016 data published by the Korea Highway Traffic Authority, Korea owns 49.9 vehicles per 100 people. This is the 28th largest number among the 35 OECD member countries. In addition, the number of deaths from traffic accidents in Korea totaled 4,292, of which 1,714 were caused by traffic accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians. To reduce these human casualties, the automotive industry is constantly working on the development and commercialization of Adaptive Driver Assist System (ADAS). ADAS is the system providing convenience and safeness for drivers. In general, ADAS consists of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Highway Driving Assist (HDA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS). Among them, the AEB detects the possibility of collision by the vehicle itself and plays a role of avoiding the collision or reducing the damage through active braking. For such AEB, Euro NCAP has been developing test-evaluation methods for the vulnerable since 2017. Therefore, In this paper analyzes the scenario of Euro NCAP VRU Test Protocol v3.0.1, which will be established in 2020, and proposes test conditions according to the Korean road traffic law. In addition, the reliability of the proposed scenario and test conditions was verified by comparing and analyzing the proposed theoretical evaluation formulas and actual test results.
