본 논문은 지역적 특징을 빠르게 추출할 수 있는 SURF(Speed Up Robust Features) 알고리즘을 이용해 안경과 조명 등 자동차 환경에 적응적인 새로운 눈 상태 검출방법을 제안하였다. 또한, 베이지안 추론을 이용하여 각 운전자에 대해 세 가지 고유의 눈 상태 템플릿을 실시간적으로 생성함으로써 눈 상태 검출 성능을 향상시켰다. 주 야간, 안경 착용 시, 미착용 시 등 여러 환경에 대한 성능 실험 결과 주 야간 환경에서 각각 평균 98.1%와 96.0%의 검출률을, 공개된 ZJU데이터베이스에 대한 실험 결과 평균 97.8%의 검출률을 보임으로써 제안된 방법의 우수성을 보였다.

Background: Truck driving is a highly sedentary occupation that places workers at risk for chronic health conditions, such as obesity and high blood pressure. The primary purpose of this study was to objectively describe truck drivers' typical physical activity (PA) patterns. Methods: We used ~7-10-day baseline PA actigraphy data samples from drivers in the Safety & Health Involvement For Truckers (SHIFT) study (n = 394). Driver PA patterns (e.g., average number of ≥10 minute Freedson bouts per week, time in bouts, and common days/times for PA) were summarized with descriptive analyses. We also compared objective accelerometer data to self-reports. Results: Drivers' weekly PA averaged 14.4 minutes (SD = 37.0), and most PA occurred between 5-6 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Drivers overestimated self-reported weekly exercise by over 60 min/week compared to accelerometer data. Conclusion: Our results suggest that objective PA assessment may be warranted over self-report when possible, and timing may be key in future PA intervention work with truck drivers.

Due to improvement of the semiconductor technology, the LED replaces the conventional lighting source and LED drivers have been studied and developed. The LED is driven by the constant current control method according to its characteristics. For the constant current control method, the linear regulator and the switching regulator is used. The switching regulator is usually used to LED drivers because it has specific characteristics as the wide input dynamic range and the high efficiency. In this paper, we have described the principle and the implement of the switching regulator, using the drive IC and the low cost DSP chip. Also, both methods have been implemented and its electrical characteristics had almost same experimental results in the steady state and the transient state.

이 논문은 자동차의 급제동시 발생되는 스키드마크(skid mark, 활주거리)를 통해 제동직전 속도(Pre-braking Speed)를 정확히 산정하기 위한 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 운전자는 전방에 위급한 상황이 전개되거나 불의의 사고에 처하게 되었을 경우 통상 급제동조치를 취하게 되며, 정지거리에 따라 사고를 당할 수도 있다. 자동차의 정지거리에 있어서 영향을 끼치는 요인은 운전자의 인지반응시간, 자동차 제동장치의 성능, 노면의 상태 등을 꼽을 수 있으나, 가장 중요한 요인은 제동직전 속도(Pre-Braking Speed)라고 할 수 있다. 현재 교통사고의 조사분야에서는 skid mark의 길이에 근거한 활주직전 속도(Preskidding Speed)를 산정하여 과속 여부를 판단하고 있으나, 정확한 사고원인 규명을 위해서는 불완전제동시간 동안 감속된 속도를 고려한 제동직전 속도의 산정이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 교통사고시 자동차의 정확한 속도정보를 산정하기 위한 방법을 제안하고자 하며, 또한 이 연구가 향후 교통안전차원에서 자동차의 특성을 이해하는데 있어서 일조할 수 있기를 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 CMOS image sensor(CIS)에서 사용될 수 있는 고 효율 charge pump를 제안하였다. 제안된 charge pump는 CIS의 동작 특성을 활용하여 switching loss 및 reversion loss를 최소화하여 고 효율 동작을 실현하였다. 즉, CIS 픽셀 동작 구간에 따라 local clock driver, 펌핑 커패시터, 그리고 charge 전달 switch의 크기를 역동적으로 조절함으로써 switching loss 를 최소화하였다. 또한, schmitt trigger를 채용한 tri-state local clock driver를 이용하여 non-overlapping 구간이 충분히 확보된 local clock을 공급할 수 있게 함으로써 reversion loss를 최소화하였다. 0.13-um CMOS 공정을 이용한 시뮬레이션 비교 결과, 제안된 charge pump는 구동 전류가 없는 조건에서 기존 구조에 비해 최대 49.1% 전력 소모를 개선하였으며, 구동 전류가 최대인 조건에서는 19.0% 전력 소모를 개선할 수 있었음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a development method for a drowsiness detection system using retinex theory and edge information for vehicle safety. Detection of a drowsy state of a driver is very important because the drowsiness of driver is often the main cause of many car accidents. After acquiring an image of the entire face, we executed the pre-process step using the retinex theory. We then applied a technique for the detection of the white pixels using edge information. Experimental results showed that the proposed method improved the accuracy of detecting drowsiness to nearly 98%, and can be used to prevent a car accident caused by the driver's drowsiness.

The distraction of the driver's attention causes as much traffic accidents as drowsiness driving. Yet though there have been many studies on drowsiness driving, research on distraction driving is insufficient. In this paper, we divide distraction of attention into visual distraction and cognitive distraction and analyze the EEG of subjects while viewing images of distracting situations. The results show that more information is received and processed when distractions occur. It is confirmed that the probability of accident increases when the driver receives overwhelming amount of information that he or she cannot concentrate on driving.

To control the motion of building structures under earthquakes their response should be measured first by various sensors and transformed into the control forces using some control algorithms. Of many control algorithms linear quadratic control is widely used as it is easy to implement and analyze. However the algorithms has the disadvantage that it needs the real-time measurements of all state variables(i.e, building's displacements and velocities) which are difficult to achieve for the building structures under earthquakes. Thus the practical algorithms employing output feedback are developed. In this paper LQG algorithm is used for the control of the building model with an active mass driver. The building's acceleration is used to obtain the control gain and the Kalman filter gain. The LQG control strategy is verified with the experimental study on the one-storybuilding model equipped with the active mass driver. This paper demonstrates experimentally the efficacy of the LQG algorithm based on the active mass driver system in reducing the response of seismically excited buildings.

This paper makes a trial to build the model of car-following in the state of starting to stable driving on the basic of driver's knowledge that is easily characterized by linguistical cognition. There are three main steps in building the model. Firstly, each driver's rule of three testees is studied in linguistical experssion by the interview and questionary surveys that are repeated once a day for ten days. Secondly, quantification of the linguistical expression is investigated by driving experiments that includes the questionary survey to the testee in the test vehicle, and the membership functions of variables of rule are obtained. Thirdly, implicaton and composition of fuzzy inference is made by Max-Min Methods and defuzzification by gravity method. It can be said that the proposed model of car-following based on driver's knowledge is practically allpicable to the estimation of drivering of car-following on trunk roads in urban area.

Recently, The TCN(Train Communication Network} as the distributed control systems for electric vehicles, which is the international standard of the intra vehicle communication, actively recognizes variations and supports reconfiguration of the train network when a vehicle is separated or recombined. The technique of reconfiguration to take variety and interoperability of a vehicle constitution is used when the vehicle constitution is changed. At the time, each node making up vehicle network shares the information about the variation of vehicle constitutions and the state of nodes. In the hierarchical TCN structure, an exchange of data becomes available as a work to transmit information between components is performed at the node playing a role of gateway. This paper proposes a protocol to transmit the information of the train reconfiguration. The protocol gives an application to renew a list for transmitting information and to perform the transmission that can guarantee periodic and non-periodic data transmission between nodes when the network nodes changed by a variation of the network state are reconfigured. If use this protocol, can use functions that are offered in the electric railcar at the same time that composition of vehicles is completed without delay. And when driver of the electric railcar inspect before running of vehicles, can confirm state of vehicles visually through monitor in driver's room.
