A majority of car crash is affected by careless driving that causes extensive economic and social costs, as well as injuries and fatalities. Thus, the research of precise crash detection systems is very significant issues in automotive safety. A lot of crash detection algorithms have been developed, but the coverage of these algorithms has been limited to few scenarios. Road scenes and situations need to be considered in order to expand the scope of a collision detection system to include a variety of collision modes. The proposed algorithm effectively handles the x, y, and z axes of the sensor, while considering time and suggests a method suitable for various real worlds. To reduce nuisance and false crash detection events, the algorithm discriminated between driving mode and parking mode. The performance of the suggested algorithm was evaluated under various scenarios, and it successfully discriminated between driving and parking modes, and it adjusted crash detection events depending on the real scenario. The proposed algorithm is expected to efficiently manage the space and lifespan of the storage device by allowing the vehicle's black box system to store only necessary crash event's videos.

Many car manufacturers have frequently adopted an aggressive inflator and a lower threshold speed for airbag deployment in order to meet an injury requirement for unbolted occupant at high speed crash test. Consequently, today's occupant safety restraint system has a weakness due to an airbag induced injury at low speed crash event. This paper proposes a new crash algorithm to improve the weakness by suppressing airbag deployment at low speed crash event in case of belted condition. The proposed algorithm consists of two major blocks-crash severity algorithm and deployment logic block. The first block decides crash severity with two levels by means of velocity and crash energy calculation from acceleration signal. The second block implemented by simple AND/OR logic combines the crash severity level and seat belt status information to generate firing commands for airbag and belt pretensioner. Furthermore, it can be extended to adopt additional sensor information from passenger presence detection sensor and safing sensor. A simulation using real crash data for a 1,800cc passenger vehicle has been conducted to verify the performance of proposed algorithm.

For proper release of side airbags, the onset of crash should be detected first. After crash detection, the algorithm has to make a decision whether the side airbag deployment is necessary. If the deployment is necessary, proper timing has to be provided for the maximum protection of driver or passenger. The side airbag release algorithm should be robust against the statistical deviations which are inherent to experimental crash test data. Deterministic optimization algorithms cannot be used for the side aribag release algorithm since the objective function cannot be expressed in a closed form. From this background, genetic algorithm has been used for the optimization. The optimization requires moderate amount of computation and gives satisfactory results.

Airbag deployment has been responsible for huge death, incidental injuries and broken bones due to low crash severity and wrong deployment decision. This misfortune has led the authorities and the industries to pursue uniquely designed airbags incorporating crash-sensing technologies. This paper provides a thorough discussion underlying crash sensing algorithm approaches for the subject matter. Unfortunately, most algorithms used for crash sensing still have some problems. They either deploy at low severity or fail to trigger the airbag on time. In this work, the crash-sensing algorithm is studied by analyzing the data obtained from the variables such as (i) change of velocity, (ii) speed of the vehicle and (iii) acceleration. The change of velocity is used to detect crash while speed of the vehicle provides relevant information for deployment decision. This paper also demonstrates crash severity with respect to the changing speed of the vehicle. Crash sensing simulations were carried out using Simulink, Stateflow, SimMechanics and Virtual Reality toolboxes. These toolboxes are also used to validate the results obtained from the simulated experiments of crash sensing, airbag deployment decision and its crash severity detection of the proposed system.

교통사고는 인적요인, 도로 기하구조, 교통류, 환경적요인 등 복합적인 요인에 의해 발생하며, 그 중 운전자의 특성과 운전행태는 교통사고에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 졸음운전 및 음주운전으로 인한 사행운전은 사고발생 확률이 높고, 사고 발생 시 심각도가 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사행운전을 검지하는 알고리즘을 개발하고, 알고리즘을 통해 사행운전을 검지하여 운전자 및 후방차량에 경고정보를 제공하는 적용방안에 대한 방법론을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 사행운전을 위험도에 따라 1차로 사행운전과 2차로 사행운전으로 구분하여 정의하였으며, 사행운전 시 관찰되는 횡방향 각 속도 변화의 특성을 분석하였고, 통계적 분석을 통해 정상주행과 사행운전을 분류하기 위한 임계값과 1차로 사행운전과 2차로 사행운전을 분류하기 위한 임계값을 설정하였다. 설정된 임계값을 이용하여 사행운전 검지 및 위험운전 판단 알고리즘을 평가하였다. 평가결과 제안된 사행운전 검지 알고리즘은 현장적용 시 높은 신뢰도를 가지는 정보를 제공 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론은 교통안전성 증진에 기여할 뿐만 아니라, 자이로센서와 무선통신이 가능한 장비만 있으면 적용 가능한 방법론으로 스마트폰에도 적용 가능할 것으로 판단되어 도래하는 유비쿼터스 교통서비스의 새로운 컨텐츠로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

In this research, the collision detection system based on insect's visual interneuron has been designed. The lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) corresponds to the movement value that increases in direct collision process. If the collision is detected by the LGMD only, it could generate a crash warning even in a non-collision situation, resulting in a lot of false alarms. Directionally sensitive movement detectors (DSMD) are directionally sensitive algorithm based on the elementary movement detectors (EMD) in four directions (up, down, left, and right). In this paper, we propose an efficient VLSI architecture for a realtime collision detection system that is robust to the surrounding environment while improving accuracy. The proposed architecture is synthesized with Dongbu Hightech 110nm standard cell library and shows 333MHz of maximum operating frequency and requires 8400 gates with about 16.5KB of internal memories.

송전선은 항공사고를 야기하는 대표적인 장애물로써 인지되며, 비행 중 충돌회피를 위해 송전선의 실시간 탐지는 아주 중요하다. 최근 들어 이러한 비행장애물 회피를 위해 기상조건에 영향을 덜 받으며 주야에 관계없이 데이터 획득이 가능한 라이다의 활용이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 라이다 데이터를 이용하여 비행장애물 회피를 위해 송전선을 고속으로 탐지하는 방법을 개발하였다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 지표면에서 반사된 점을 필터링 과정을 통해 제거하여 비지면점을 추출하고, 이중에서 분산 행렬의 고유값 비율을 이용하여 선형적으로 분포하는 점들을 추출하고, 마지막으로 송전탑(기둥)이나 굴뚝같이 수직방향으로 선형적으로 분포하는 점들이나 길이가 작은 선형점들을 제거한다. 구현된 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하기 위해 송전선이 포함된 영역에서 취득된 실측 및 시뮬레이션 데이터에 적용하였다. 탐지성능은 약 80%정도로 분석되었고, 처리시간은 평균 0.2초가 소요되었다. 향후 제시된 방법을 다양한 시험환경에 대해 실험을 수행하여 개선한다면, 비행장애물 회피용 시스템에 효과적으로 활용될 것을 판단된다.
