  • Recently, the popularization of personal mobility(PM) has made it possible to see many electric scooters. The energy source of personal transportation used by the general public and the disabled can be seen as environmentally friendly as electricity. Personal transportation means are divided into small electric vehicles because they use electric energy, and they are being treated as new models by automobile manufacturers in each country and spurring development. On the other hand, personal transportation means may cause various types of traffic accidents as they travel between roads and a human walk. In order to prevent such accidents, it is judged that the enactment of laws on the establishment of specifications for electric scooters, which are personal transportation means, and the method of restricting road operation should be given priority. The electric scooter is basically different from the conventional vehicle. The steering shaft of the steering system applied to the electric scooter one to two is possible. 1 to 2 the front-wheel under the steering column is used. It is classified according to the number of wheel installed at the electric scooter is the vehicle body into 2 wheel - electric scooter, and 3 wheel - electric scooter and 4 wheel - electric scooter. In this study, we propose a steering shaft design model that can be applied to an electric scooter, one of personal transportation means. A design model for 1-shaft steering and 2-shafts steering that can be applied to electric scooters is proposed. In addition, we have produced the prototypes for the commercialization of the proposed models, and reviewed the pros and cons of the manufactured prototypes and models.

  • With the emergence of the words Personal Mobility (P.M.) or Smart Mobility (S.M.), which are terms for personal transportation, the activities of related technologies are increasing with the research. Personal transportation is basically used as a short distance transportation method using electrical energy. As personal mobility became more popular, the resulting products and studies are spreading throughout the country. Most of the electric scooters, which are personal vehicles, are mostly imported from China. This is due to the fact that the price competitiveness of major components of electric scooters is owned in China. At this point, the domestic research direction is considered to be desirable in terms of composition and design of the electric scooter body. In this study, the models of portable electric scooters according to the number of wheels mounted on portable electric scooters were presented and the prototypes were produced accordingly. The number of wheels applied to the electric scooter was 2 and 3 and 4; the contents and advantages and disadvantages of the proposed portable electric scooter models were reviewed.

  • PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) 시스템은 자동차를 대체할 수 있는 지속 가능한 친환경 미래교통 수단으로 최근 국내외적으로 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 이러한 PRT 시스템의 중요한 특징 중 하나는 저비용으로 건설 운영될 수 있다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 PRT 주행선로에 대해 차량의 주행안정성을 고려한 최적 평면 선형에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 설계 최고속도로 주행 시 곡선반경, 완화곡선 길이, 캔트(편경사)와 같은 주요 매개변수들에 대해 차량동역학 해석을 수행하였으며 최적선형 설계(안)을 제시하였다. 해석결과, 이론값을 만족함을 알 수 있었으며 기준 완화의 가능성도 확인할 수 있었다.

  • PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) is alternation mode of auto and advanced transportation system as future transportation mode cope with the situation caused by increasing traffic demand, vehicle, environment, energy problem. but there is no place where PRT is operated therefore it is necessary of study on application of PRT The purpose of this study is putting into shape of fundamental notion and role of PRT as transit system and studying of domestic application possibility We expect that PRT make transit will make variety and be able to connect with mass transportation facility, have a connection between trunk line and branch line, be a effective local transportation system within CBD, be a transportation system within leisure complex. This study focus on connection with mass transportation facility in the middle of 5 type, we class as. and we investigate application of PRT by process of making a choice applicable case area

  • 본 연구는 SUR모형을 활용하여 서울 거주자의 수단별 통행시간 비율에 대한 영향요인을 규명하였다. 영향요인은 가구원 및 가구의 특성, 존 특성 변수 등을 선정하였다. 통행수단은 기존의 18개 유형을 압축하여 도보, 개인통행수단, 버스, 지하철, 철도, 자전거 등 6개 수단으로 재 정의하였다. 분석 결과, 개인교통수단과 대중교통간의 뚜렷한 차이를 발견하였다. 우선 차량을 보유하고 운전면허가 있는 경우에는 개인통행수단을 이용하는 경향이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께 대표적인 대중교통 수단인 버스와 지하철간의 상관관계를 파악할 수 있었다. 지하철 수단은 개인통행수단이 이용 가능한 통행자가 함께 이용하는 패턴을 보인 반면, 버스 수단은 개인통행수단 이용이 어려운 경우에 이용하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 선호도는 향후 서울을 포함한 수도권의 대중교통 정책을 수립함에 있어 다양한 시사점을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Indoor air quality tends to be the dominant contributor to personal exposure, because most people spend over 80% of their time indoors. In this study, indoor and outdoor NO$_2$ concentrations were measured and compared with simultaneously personal exposures of 21 university students in weekday and weekend. House characteristics and activity pattern were used to determine the impacts of these factors on personal exposure. Since university students spent most of their times in indoor, their NO$_2$ exposure was associated with indoor NO$_2$ level rather than outdoor NO$_2$ level both weekday and weekend in spite of different time activity. Using time-weighted average model, NO$_2$ exposures of university students were estimated by NO$_2$ measurements in indoor home, indoor school, and outdoor home levels. Estimated NO$_2$ personal exposures were significantly correlated with measured NO$_2$ personal exposures($r^2$=0.87). However, estimated personal NO$_2$ exposures by time-weighted average model were underestimated, comparing with the measured personal NO$_2$ exposure. Using multiple regression analysis, effect of personal NO$_2$ exposure for transportation was confirmed.

  • Personal mobility, which was used exclusively for leisure activities, has recently been used as a means of transportation, and it is expected to increase its role as the next generation transportation. Sales of personal mobility are increasing rapidly, but the problem is that traffic accidents are also increasing. In this study, human body injury caused by various collisions between electric wheel users and road users that occur on bicycle or pedestrian roads mainly used by personal mobility is analyzed through collision analysis and collision risk analysis. In the case of the collision accident for electric wheel, it is analyzed that the road users are more likely to be injured on the pedestrian road than the bicycle road. In addition, the head hit each other or fall and hit the floor caused severe head injury.

  • Recently, the spread of personal mobility has been rapidly increasing due to the development of environmentally friendly alternative transportation means. In addition, the level of battery technology is also rapidly developing, accelerating the popularization of personal mobility. Such personal mobility has convenience of location transfer, amusement, and high portability compared to other transportation devices. Most personal mobility, however, is made up of small wheels, which cannot overcome obstacles such as rugged roads or obstacles on the road. In this paper, to solve these problems, we tried to devise a device that can easily overcome obstacles by combining wheels with small moving means. The wheel size can be mounted on the front wheel of the small moving means in a protruding manner so that obstacles can be encountered before the front wheels and the safety and ride comfort of the running can be improved.
