As the penetration of electric vehicles and development of new models, user experience factors are getting more important in designing connectivity systems for car infotainment services. The primary object of this study is to identify commonalities and differences by comparing user experience factors in the Korean and US electric vehicle markets. This study derived connectivity keywords by text mining the vehicle introduction on the market in each country, and performed centrality, cluster analysis and visualization mapping using the semantic network analysis. As a result, the Korean new electric vehicle connectivity service mainly focused on driving functions such as driving, parking assistance, and charging, while US focused on device connection, convenience function control, app use, entertainment viewing. Based on the analysis, this study presented the practical implications in marketing, system design, and HMI design.

Tizen은 삼성전자와 인텔(Intel), 리눅스 재단(Linux Foudation)이 공동으로 개발한 리눅스(Linux) 기반의 오픈 소스 플랫폼(Open Source Platform)이다. Tizen은 스마트폰(Smart Phone)과 태블릿 PC(Tablet PC)를 위한 운영체제이지만 GPS(Global Positioning System) 내비게이션을 포함한 자동차 인포테이먼트(In-Vehicle Infotainment) 시스템과 넷북(Netbook), 스마트 TV(Smart TV)에서도 사용될 수 있도록 개발되었다. Tizen은 안드로이드(Android)와 마찬가지로 리눅스 커널(Kernel)에서 실행할 수 있지만, 소프트웨어 프레임워크(Software Framework)는 HTML5(Hypertext Mark-up Language 5)로 설계되었다. 또한 Tizen은 HTML5 를 기반으로 다른 플랫폼에서도 쉽게 호환될 수 있는 웹 어플리케이션의 실행을 지원한다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Tizen 웹 어플리케이션 개발의 기반이 되는 HTML5 API 와 Tizen 웹 API 를 중점적으로 살펴 본다. 그리고 이 두 가지 핵심 요소에 대한 이해를 통해 Tizen 의 향후 발전가능성을 조명한다.

최근 들어 차량은 단순히 이동을 위한 수단에서 벗어나 정보통신 기술과 융합되면서 콘텐츠를 소비하는 공간의 성격을 가져가고 있다. 자동차도 하나의 컴퓨터처럼 기능하게 되면서 차량 인포테인먼트의 역할이 차량 사용 경험에 중요한 요소로 자리 잡게 되었다. 그러나 교통수단이라는 특수한 환경임에도 불구하고 다른 환경에서 콘텐츠를 제공하는 형식과 차별화 없이 차량용 디스플레이에 맞춰 UI만 변경된 형태로 서비스가 제공되는 모습을 발견할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 문헌 조사 및 사용자 인터뷰를 통해 현재 차량 인포테인먼트 사용 행태와 보완점을 발견하여 개선 방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 사용자들이 차량 내에서 각기 다른 이용 패턴을 반복해서 실행하는 과정에서 인포테인먼트의 개인화 서비스에 대한 니즈가 있음을 확인하였고, 개인화 서비스를 통해 맞춤형 정보를 제공함으로써 새로운 가치를 만들어 낼 수 있음을 제시하고자 하였다.

The manipulation of the device by hand while driving is a major factor to increase the risk of accidents, and the design of in-vehicle voice conversational interface that can compensate for this is being actively researched. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the use of the barge-in function of in-vehicle voice interface on user experience. Participants were asked to carry out two tasks, one for navigation and one for music play. We conducted a survey to measure the functional user 's experience after each participant' s tasks, and measured usefulness, usability, satisfaction, and emotion as user experience factors. As a result, Barge-in has been rated as the better choice for most experience factors. There was a significant effect on usability dimension in navigation task and significant effects on usability dimension and emotional dimension in music play task. So it was found that barge-in function had a positive effect on actual user's usability and emotional dimension.

Vehicle communication can facilitate efficient coordination among vehicles on the road and enable future vehicular applications such as vehicle safety enhancement, infotainment, or even autonomous driving. In the $3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), many studies focus on long term evolution (LTE)-based vehicle communication. Because vehicle speed is high enough to cause severe channel distortion in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) environments. We can utilize channel estimation methods to approach a reliable vehicle communication systems. Conventional channel estimation schemes can be categorized as least-squares (LS), decision-directed channel estimation (DDCE), spectral temporal averaging (STA), and smoothing methods. In this study, we propose a smart channel estimation scheme in LTE-based V2V environments. The channel estimation scheme, based on an LTE uplink system, uses a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) as the pilot symbol. Unlike conventional channel estimation schemes, we propose an adaptive smoothing channel estimation scheme (ASCE) using quadratic smoothing (QS) of the pilot symbols, which estimates a channel with greater accuracy and adaptively estimates channels in data symbols. In simulation results, the proposed ASCE scheme shows improved overall performance in terms of the normalized mean square error (NMSE) and bit error rate (BER) relative to conventional schemes.

In-vehicle multimedia systems are one of the most important factors in the automotive industry. Especially, multimedia systems are more important in advanced commercial vehicles such as premium express buses. In this paper, we proposed a multimedia streaming system architecture using MEP(MOST Ethernet Packets) for premium express buses based on MOST150. We have designed and implemented the prototype of proposed multimedia streaming system. We have designed a board based on i.MX6 to operate a proposed multimedia streaming system. The software has designed a multimedia system for premium express buses based on Android which is an open source platform. MOST(Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a high-speed multimedia network technology for in-vehicle multimedia system. The MOST network is able to manage up to 64 devices and ring topology is used basically. In addition, the MOST Network meets EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference)/ EMC(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) requirements because it uses plastic optical fibers(POF).

In this paper, we propose a design method and process for hardware and software of hybrid V2X communication module that supports both C-ITS communication protocol designed for vehicle environment and Legacy LTE communication technology. C-ITS is suitable for safety service applications due to its low latency characteristics, and Legacy LTE is a technology suitable for non-safety applications such as traffic information and infotainment due to high latency and high capacity. The hybrid V2X communication module supports multiple communication technologies of WAVE and LTE, in which WAVE supports multiple channels, so that it is designed to transmit road information such as LDM and positioning correction information to an autonomous vehicle in real time. The main design results presented in this paper will be applied to the implementation of future hybrid V2X communication terminals for vehicles.

According to increase of the number of electronic devices for user comfort and safety, electronic systems are being constructed by using network to effectively control the devices. In this paper, we design and implement the MOST network diagnostic system by using wireless LAN to diagnose MOST network and the devices connected by the network and to effectively manage them. MOST, which is a vehicle multimedia network standard for the next generation, is being used for construction of car infotainment systems, and enables to develop various devices which are required for them. The wireless diagnostic system implemented in this paper enables to self-diagnose MOST network and also to check errors by diagnosing status of MOST electronic devices. We also can check and manage status of a in-vehicle MOST network system using mobile devices based on wireless LAN.

Services for navigation and entertainment through AI-based voice user interface devices are becoming popular in the connected car system. Given the classification of VUI agent developers as IT companies and automakers, this study explores attributes of agent persona and user experience that impact the driver's perceived safety and satisfaction. Participants of a car simulator experiment performed entertainment and navigation tasks, and evaluated the perceived safety and satisfaction. Results of regression analysis showed that credibility of the agent developer, warmth and attractiveness of agent persona, and efficiency and care of the UX dimension showed significant impact on the perceived safety. The determinants of perceived satisfaction were unity of auto-agent makers and gender as predisposing factors, distance in the agent persona, and convenience, efficiency, ease of use, and care in the UX dimension. The contributions of this study lie in the discovery of the factors required for developing conversational VUI into the autonomous driving environment.
