The main function of the Forward Vehicle Collision Warning System (FVCWS) is to warn a driver when he or she experiences dangerous situations caused by a forward vehicle. Warning distance algorithms under same dangerous circumstances are often various depending on automobile manufacturers and component suppliers. Human factors also should be considered to warn the driver at an adequate warning distance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system for evaluating the pertinent warning timing in an identically dangerous situation. The system consists of sensors for measuring speed and acceleration of subject vehicle and target vehicle, controllers to follow the velocity profile properly, and wireless telecommunication equipments for receiving or transmitting the measured data in a real-time. According to actual field tests, it is shown that the developed system is suitable to evaluate warning distance of FVCWS.

The design process of blended inlet body (BIB) for the preliminary design of a near-space high supersonic unmanned aerial vehicle (HSUAV) is presented. The mass flow rate and cowl area of inlet at a design point are obtained according to the cruise condition of the HSUAV. A mixed-compression axisymmetric supersonic inlet section with a fixed geometry reasonably matching the high supersonic cruise state is created by using the inviscid theory of aerodynamics. The inlet section is optimized and used as a baseline section for the BIB design. Three BIB concepts for the HSUAV are proposed, and their internal aerodynamic characteristics of inlet are evaluated using Euler computational fluid dynamics (Euler CFD) solver. The preferred concept is identified, in which the straight leading edge of the baseline HSUAV configuration is modified into the convex leading edge to accommodate the inlet and meet the requirements of the cowl area to capture the sufficient air flow. The total recovery of inlet for the preferred BIB concept and the aerodynamic characteristics of the modified HSUAV configuration are verified using Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics (NS CFD) solver. The validation indicates that the preferred BIB concept can meet both the requirements of the inlet and aerodynamic performance of the HSUAV.

본 논문에서는 차량의 뒷바퀴 윤곽을 이용하여 근거리 전방차량을 인식하는 방법에 대해 설명한다. 차량 앞범퍼 중앙에 장착된 흑백 CCD 카메라에서 입력되는 영상을 분석하면 전방차량의 뒷바퀴 바깥쪽 윤곽이 수직성분을 띄며 도로면과 명확하게 구분됨을 알 수 있다. 이 특징을 이용하여 일정거리 이내에 존재하는 전방차량을 탐지할 수 있다 또한 탐지된 차량까지의 대략적인 거리를 계산할 수 있고, 브레이크등의 점등 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 이 방법은 차량간 간격이 좁고 저속으로 주행하는 도심지 도로에서 가다서다를 반복하는 Stop-and-Go 차량을 구현하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

A robust adaptive technique for the longitudinal control of a platoon of automated vehicles is presented. A nonlinear model is used to represent the vehicle dynamics of each vehicle within the platoon. The external disturbance such as wind gust and a disturbance term due to engine transmission variations and so on are considered. The state observer is used to avoid direct measurement of the relative velocity or acceleration between the controlled and leading vehicles or the controlled vehicle's acceleration. It is shown that platoon stability can be recovered in operation even if a speed dependent spacing policy is adopted, which incorporates a constant time headway in addition to the constant distance. The simulation results demonstrate excellent tracking even in the presence of disturbances.

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the efficient design of traffic light poles involved in vehicle frontal collisions by developing a computer-based, finite-element model capable of capturing the impact characteristics. This is achieved by using the available non-linear dynamic analysis software "LS-DYNA3D", which can accurately predict the dynamic response of both the vehicle and the traffic light pole. The fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) as a new pole's material is proposed in this paper to increase energy absorption capabilities in the case of a traffic pole involved in a vehicle head-on collision. Numerical analyses are conducted to evaluate the effects of key parameters on the response of the pole embedded in soil when impacted by vehicles, including: soil type(clay and sand) and pole material type(FRP and steel). It is demonstrated from the numerical analysis that the FRP pole-soil system has favorable advantages over steel poles, where the FRP pole absorbed vehicle impact energy in a smoother behavior, which leads to smoother acceleration pulse and less deformation of the vehicle than those encountered with steel poles. Also, it was observed that clayey soil brings a slightly more resistance than sandy soil which helps reducing pole movement at ground level. Finally, FRP pole system provides more energy absorbing leading to protection during minor impacts and under service loading, and remain flexible enough to avoid influencing vehicle occupants, thus reducing fatalities and injuries resulting from the crash.

본 논문은 전방차량 추적에 있어서 스테레오 카메라 패러렐 모델을 사용하여 전방 차량과의 거리 및 헤딩앵글 데이터를 추출하고 이들 데이터를 이용하여 무인자동차 ART(Binocular Autonomous Research Team vehicle)를 제어하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 무인자동창의 제어는 2개의 역전달 뉴럴네트워크의 일종인 TDNN(Time De-lay Neural Network)을 각각 독립적으로 사용하였다. 그중 하나는 S-TDNN으로 추적차량의 속도와 전방차량과의 거리를 제어하며, 다른 하나는 A-TDNN으로 무인차량의 스티어링 앵글을 전담 제어한다. 인간 운전자가 전방차량을 추적하면서 수집한 제이터를 이용하여 상기 뉴럴네트워크를 학습시키며, 학습된 뉴럴네트워크는 인간이 운전하였을 때와 같은 조건하에서 전방차량의 추적을 만족스럽게 수행하였다. 뉴럴네트워크를 이용한 제어프 로그램은 이식성이 높아 다른 종류의 차량에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있어 타모델에 적용 시에 개발경비와 소요 시간을 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다.

This study was conducted to develop a vehicle, leading or following a worker at a certain distance to assist laborious transporting works in greenhouses. A prototype vehicle was tested in the practical field conditions using a developed control algorithm. Results of this study were summarized as following: 1. The sensing device consisted of infrared sensors was attached to the front of the vehicle and turning following algorithm was developed to make the vehicle turned as it follows a worker simultaneously. 2. The measured average power consumptions were 110W and 89W, equivalent to 5.2-6.4 hrs battery durations, at low speed with and without the maximum payload, respectively. 3. Results of the travel tests showed that the deviations from the center of row spacing were $\pm$100 mm along the ridge and $\pm$85 mm along the hydroponic bed in the greenhouse. Therefore, the worker-following transport vehicle was feasible to travel along the row without collision in the greenhouse.
