본 연구는 자동차 시뮬레이터에서 필연적으로 발생하는 Sickness와 생리신호 간의 관련성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Driving Simulator에서 중추신경계의 EEG 생리신호를 측정하고 이의 정량적 분석을 통하여 Simulator Sickness가 생리신호에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 중추신경계의 뇌파반응은 주행시간의 경과에 따른 특정 경향은 나타나지 않았으나 안정에 비해 delta파, theta파의 증가와 alpha파의 감소경향이 나타났다. 단, theta파는 초기 5분에 증가한 수치가 시간이 지남에 따라 그 비율이 일정하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Sick그룹과 Non-Sick그룹 및 남녀그룹의 비교결과에 대한 유의한 차이가 인정되었다.

In an experimental study, we assessed human sensibility in terms of psychophysiological response according to change of speeds (40, 70, 100km/h) in a driving simulator and application of motion fitters (washout filter, non-washout later) in a roller coaster simulator. For the driving and roller coaster simulators, a group of 12 healthy men in their twenties and a group of 8 healthy men in their twenties, respectively, participated. Participants each completed a simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ), a subjective assessment of sensations of pleasantness, tension, and arousal, and perception of speed. Physiological signals were measured by 1/f fluctuation of EEG (electroencephalogram), ECG (electrocardiogram), and GSR (galvanic skin response). These were measured pre-to-post under the experimental conditions for each simulator. Subjective pleasantness, tension, arousal, and perception of speed and physiological responses indicating a feeling of pleasantness by 1/f fluctuation were higher for the roller coaster simulator than those measured for low speed driving in the driving simulator. The mean frequency of alpha band (8-l3㎐) in EEG increased with exposure to the driving simulator relative to that for the roller coaster simulator. Heart rate variability and GSR were significantly changed between pre- and post- under each condition in the driving and roller coaster simulators. The data suggest that subjective sensibility was elevated according to gain of speed and variety of simulator motion, and physiological responses were activated with increased speed.

Utilization of a driving simulator in the development of autonomous driving technology allows us to perform various tests effectively in criticial environments, thereby reducing the development cost and efforts. However, there exists a serious drawback that the driving simulator has a big difference from the real environment, so a problem occurs when the autonomous driving algorithm developed using the driving simulator is applied directly to the real vehicle system. This is defined as so-called Sim2Real problem and can be classified into scenarios, sensor modeling, and vehicle dynamics. This Paper presensts on a method to solve the Sim2Real problem in autonomous driving simulator focusing on IMU sensor. In order to reduce the difference between emulated virtual IMU sensor real IMU sensor, IMU sensor emulation techniques through precision error modeling of IMU sensor are introduced. The error model of IMU sensors takes into account bias, scale factor, misalignmnet, and random walk by IMU sensor grades.

Purpose : This study aims to evaluate the correlation of cognitive function, activities of daily living (ADL), and driving performance in stroke hemiplegic patients residing in Korea. Methods : Subjects of the study were 18 stroke hemiplegic patients admitted to hospitals situated in Seoul. A clock drawing test (CDT), a modified Barthel index (MBI), and a virtual reality driving simulator (Eca faros-driving simulator) were used to examine their cognitive function, their ADL ability, and their driving skills, respectively. Results : Driving skills of stroke hemiplegic patients were shown to be associated with the CDT evaluation tool (r=-.777) (p<.001), but they were found to have any correlation with MBI (r=-.022) (p>.05). Additionally, an individual's CDT showed that the driving simulator evaluation result (pass/fail) could be discriminated with a sensitivity of 100.0 %, a specificity of 40.0 %, and an accuracy of 66.7 %. The result confirmed that the CDT is a useful evaluation tool for screening driving ability in people with stroke. But the MBI did not show any significant results (sensitivity of 62.5 %, specificity of 40.0 %, and predicted the results of the simulator with 50.0 % of accuracy) (p>.05). Conclusion : This study shows that cognitive function influences the driving performance in people with stroke. Driving skills of stroke hemiplegic patients are seen to be highly related to CDT. In the field of driving rehabilitation, these findings could be useful for evaluating driving skills relating to CDT. Furthermore, the study results will set a guideline for domestic occupational therapists to use the evaluation tool for assessing driving abilities in people with stroke.

The aim of this study is to propose economical driving speed index which those are geometric road status; assess the levels of which those cost-benefit of driving energy consumption and emission; are search road safety design and operational technology for driving simulator. For the objective, we analyzed the current status of driving energy consumption and driving scenarios by the road alignments, and reviewed driving and technical specifications by the geometric types of road according to the implementation, and extended completion. Throughout the result of this study, diverse related driving information provision service, efficiently navigation driving module is expected to be implemented in the national highway design system.

There are many difficulties and inconveniences in the process of completing driving education for the disabled. Even in the content of driving education, various unpredictable unexpected situations occur during actual driving. Although education on emergency situations is being conducted in the current driving education course, education to cope with various unexpected situations is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a Unity-based driving education simulator for the disabled. Create a simulator by composing scenarios for various unexpected situations using Unity. A simulation is conducted through the test subjects, and the coping score for the existing unexpected situation is evaluated according to the evaluation items. It was confirmed that the evaluation score of the ability to cope with unexpected situations of the proposed system was higher than that of the existing driving education simulator. If the proposed system is used, it can be expected to improve the ability to cope with unexpected situations and improve the quality of life through realistic driving experience.

Recently, vehicle simulators are widely used to evaluate driver's responses and driver assistance systems. It needs much effort to construct the virtual driving environment for a vehicle simulator. In this study, it is described how to make effectively the roads and the driving environment for a vehicle simulator. The GIS (Geographic Information System) is used to construct the roads and the environment effectively. Because the GIS is the integrated system of geographical data, it contains useful data to make virtual driving environment. First, the outline and centerline of roads is abstracted from the GIS. From the road outline, the road width is calculated. Using the centerline, the grid model of roads is constructed. The final graphic model of roads is constructed by mapping road image to the grid model according to the number of lanes and the kind of surface. Data of buildings from the GIS are abstracted. Each shape and height of buildings is determined according to kind of buildings, the final graphic model of buildings is constructed. Then, the graphic model of roadside tree is also constructed. Finally, the driving environment for driving simulator is constructed by converting the three graphic models with the graphic format of Direct-X and by joining the three graphic models.

This study investigates the criteria for assessing the vibration serviceability of highway bridges using advanced driving simulator. Reiher-Meister Curves were firstly reviewed for extended application to serviceability of highway bridges. Modified Reiher-Meister Curves were provided in this paper based on field test results and numerical analyses results. The Modified Reiher-Meister Curves were evaluated using advanced driving simulator. The new curve consisted of 4 level, A(Disturbing), B(Strongly perceptible), C(Allowable), and D(Comfortable). The new criteria will be extensively applied to design and maintain highway bridges with respect to driver condition.
