With the development of technology, driving simulators have been used in various ways. In driving simulator experiments, scenario creation is essential to increase fidelity, achieve research aims, and provide an immersive experience to the driver. However, challenges remain when creating realistic scenarios, such as developing a database and the execution of scenarios in real-time. Therefore, to create realistic scenarios, it is necessary to acquire real-time data. This study intends to develop a method of acquiring real-time weather and traffic speed information for actual, specific roads. To this end, this study suggests the concatenator for dynamic data obtained from Arduino sensors and public open APIs. Field tests are then performed on actual roads to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution. Such results may give meaningful information for driving simulator studies and for creating realistic scenarios.

In the virtual environment, reality can be enhanced by offering the motion based on a motion simulator in harmony with visual and auditory modalities. In this research, the Stewart platform based motion simulator has been developed. This motion simulator is driven by the electric motors, and offers the slightly wider workspace compared to the commercial available simulators. In order to compensate for the limited range of the motion platform, the washout filters with fixed coefficients have been usually adopted. In this paper the new approach is proposed to tune the filter coefficients based on the fuzzy logic on the real-time basis. It is shown that performance with the variable filter coefficients is better than that with the fixed ones. The driving simulator based on the bicycle dynamics was developed by integrating the motion simulator and graphic system.

High Level Architecture(HLA) is a specification for interoperation among heterogeneous simulators which are executed in a distributed environment. HLA originally allows many federates to join in a federation using a single RTI(Run-Time Infrastructure). As the target systems become more complex, the need for the interoperation of federations, performed in a RTI-RTI interoperation environment, has been growing. It can be performed by the confederation interface with the agents, which subrogate the API calls and callbacks of each federation. The existing studies have assumed that the object models of each federation are based on same HLA standard and their object descriptions are equal. Because the existing federations are usually not under this assumption, this paper proposes the integration process of object models for the federation interoperation environment. To integrate the object models for the interoperation of federations, this process resolves the differences of HLA standards, provides conversion process between objects with different descriptions and excludes the security objects. We expect that this process enhances the reusability and effectiveness of interoperation of federations in various domains.

With rapid growth in the technologies and demand of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs), integration of such systems into the existing airspace system is becoming an issue in many countries. RPAS have different flight performances, communication characteristics, separation assurance mechanisms, and human machine interfaces from manned aircraft. To establish rules and regulations for RPAS integration, it is important to understand the impacts of RPASs on the airspace system. A simulation system that integrates manned aircraft, air traffic control, and RPASs is developed in Inha University to investigate these impacts through Human-in-The-Loop (HiTL) simulations. Three conflict resolution scenarios between a manned aircraft and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) were constructed and tested. Human factors such as the response times of pilots and controllers were measured and analyzed as well as the risk of each maneuver.

In this research, the main theme is the system integration of driving simulator and unmanned vehicle. The total system is composed of the mater system and the slave system. The master system has a cockpit system and the driving simulator. The slave system means an unmanned vehicle, which is composed of the actuator system the sensory system and the vision system. The communication system is composed of RS-232C serial communication system which combines the master system with the slave system. To integrate both systems, the signal classification and system characteristics considered DSP(Digital Signal Processing) filter is designed with signal sampling and measurement theory. In addition, to simulate the motion of tele-operated unmanned vehicle on the driving simulator, the classical washout algorithm is applied to this filter, because the unmanned vehicle does not have a limited working space, while the driving simulator has a narrow working space and it is difficult to cover all the motion of the unmanned vehicle. Because the classical washout algorithm has a defect of fixed high pass later, fuzzy logic is applied to reimburse it through an adaptive filter and scale factor for realistic motion generation on the driving simulator.

Device-to-device (D2D) communications, a subset of Proximity-based Services that enables direct communication between LTE network subscribers, is gaining popularity. It is well underway to be adopted in cellular communication systems for pedestrian and connected-vehicles alike. In this paper, we briefly present our model of an Evolved Packet Core Network-assisted device discovery simulator and show the applicability of Proximity-based Services for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks. Through the performance evaluation based on the developed simulation environment, it is shown that in case when users gather in the same vicinity, as in public transportation, LTE network data can be efficiently offloaded and multicasted through Wi-Fi for e.g. delivering traffic-related information and for the benefit of infotainment service consumers.

A dynamically-allocated topographical model, so-called cell advancing model, has been developed modifying the cell model. Memory requirements are reduced by dynamically allocating completed topography and material information only at surface cells, and setting other cells as a material index. In this paper, this model is presented and verified with applications to etching process by using the analytic model and Monte Carlo model for the incident ion flux, deposition process, and process integration. In case of DRAM cell fabrication process with 5,440,500(130$\times$155$\times$270) cells takes about 22MB memory to represent the topography.

A vehicle driving simulator is a virtual reality device which a human being feels as if the one drives a vehicle actually. The driving simulator is used effectively for studying interaction of a driver-vehicle and developing vehicle system of a new concept. The driving simulator consists of a vehicle motion bed system, motion controller, visual and audio system, vehicle dynamic analysis system, cockpit system, and etc. In it is paper, the main procedures to develop the driving simulator are classified by five parts. First, a motion bed system and a motion controller, which can track a reference trajectory, are developed. Secondly, a performance evaluation of the motion bed system for the driving simulator is carried out using LVDTs and accelerometers. Thirdly, a washout algorithm to realize a motion of an actual vehicle in the driving simulator is developed. The algorithm changes the motion space of a vehicle into the workspace of the driving simulator. Fourthly, a visual and audio system for feeling higher realization is developed. Finally, an integration system to communicate and monitor between sub systems is developed.
