The paper presents the study on a change in modal parameters and structural stiffness of cable-stayed Fiberline Bridge made entirely of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite used for 20 years in the fjord area of Kolding, Denmark. Due to this specific location the bridge structure was subjected to natural aging in harsh environmental conditions. The flexural properties of the pultruded GFRP profiles acquired from the analyzed footbridge in 1997 and 2012 were determined through three-point bending tests. It was found that the Young's modulus increased by approximately 9%. Moreover, the influence of the temperature on the storage and loss modulus of GFRP material acquired from the Fiberline Bridge was studied by the dynamic mechanical analysis. The good thermal stability in potential real temperatures was found. The natural vibration frequencies and mode shapes of the bridge for its original state were evaluated through the application of the Finite Element (FE) method. The initial FE model was created using the real geometrical and material data obtained from both the design data and flexural test results performed in 1997 for the intact composite GFRP material. Full scale experimental investigations of the free-decay response under human jumping for the experimental state were carried out applying accelerometers. Seven natural frequencies, corresponding mode shapes and damping ratios were identified. The numerical and experimental results were compared. Based on the difference in the fundamental natural frequency it was again confirmed that the structural stiffness of the bridge increased by about 9% after 20 years of service life. Data collected from this study were used to validate the assumed FE model. It can be concluded that the updated FE model accurately reproduces the dynamic behavior of the bridge and can be used as a proper baseline model for the long-term monitoring to evaluate the overall structural response under service loads. The obtained results provided a relevant data for the structural health monitoring of all-GFRP bridge.

최근 불안정한 기상상태가 계속되며 집중호우, 태풍, 범람 등에 의한 수해가 늘어가고 있다. 특히 하천범람이나 도로침수 발생 피해가 속출하고 있으며 이로 인해 차량 통행의 제한으로 도심에서 교통이 마비되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 집중호우로 인한 도로침수 및 도로 상에서 일어나는 사건 사고를 실시간 교통정보를 활용하여 돌발 상황을 우선 감지함으로 운전자와 보행자가 도로 상황에 즉각적으로 대처할 수 있는 방안에 대해 알아보고자한다.

In this paper, we propose a real-time recognition algorithm of lanes, stop lines and speed bumps on roads for autonomous vehicles. First, we generate a top-view using the image transmitted from a camera that is installed to see the front of a vehicle. To speed up the processing, we simplify the mapping algorithm in constructing a top-view wherein the region of interest (ROI) is concerned. The features of lanes, stop lines and speed bumps, which are composed of lines, are searched in the edge image of the top-view, then followed by labeling and clustering specialized to detect straight lines. The width of lines, distances from the center of a vehicle, and curvature of each cluster are considered to select final candidates. We verify the proposed algorithm on real roads using the commercial car (KIA K7) which is converted into an autonomous vehicle.

차량번호인식 개선을 위해서는 무엇보다 양질의 차량이미지를 획득하는 것이 무엇보다 먼저 선행되어야 하는 필수적인 요소이다. 일반적인 도로영상들은 시간, 햇빛, 날씨 등 다양한 환경의 영향을 받아 번호판 밝기가 일률적이지 않고 다양한 형태로 나타나기 때문에 여러 가지 이미지 보정 기능을 거치게 되고 이로 인하여 인식속도 저하, 인식률 저하 등이 나타난다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 실시간 영상 촬영 시 번호판 주위의 밝기를 측정하여 카메라의 shutter, bright, gain등 이미지 밝기와 품질에 영향을 주는 각 요소를 실시간으로 제어하여 빠르고 선명한 고품질의 차량 이미지 촬영하기 위해 실시간 도로 영상을 통하여 제안된 방법을 테스트 하였다.

Overloaded vehicles increase the maintenance cost of road structures, and they are a major factor in causing damage to the roads and bridges. In addition, overloaded vehicles compromise the braking capability of the vehicle; thus, threatening the safety of the driver. In order to prevent overloading of vehicles, the government is cracking down on the roads by using a device that measures the weight of vehicles. But this process is inconvenient because the place where the equipment is installed is far away from where the cargo is loaded. Due to the limitations of these fixed weighing devices, there is a growing need for technology that can monitor vehicle weight distribution and overload conditions in real time. In this work, we develop an onboard scale that can measure the load (weight) of trucks in real time. The onboard scale consists of high sensors, a signal processing unit, and a display, and it measures the load using height-displacement of the vehicle's leaf spring suspension.

GPS를 이용하여 이동 차량의 현재 위치를 정의하는 기술이 많이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 GPS를 이용한 차량안내 시스템은 실시간으로 변하는 주차 상황과 도로 조건을 고려한 최적화된 주차 경로를 검색하는데 어려움이 있다. 또한, GPS 시스템은 고층빌딩, 지하주차장과 빌딩내부 도로에서는 동작하지 못한다. 반면, RFID를 사용할 경우 도심의 밀집지역내에서도 실시간 주차 및 도로 현황을 반영할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 실시간 제약 조건을 고려한 RFID 기반 주차경로 안내 시스템을 제안한다. 구현 결과는 주차장 및 도로 정보의 변화를 즉시 감지한 후 새로운 경로를 적절히 안내할 수 있음을 보여 주었다. 이동 중 주차장이 만차일 경우 시스템은 즉시 새로운 경로를 재추출해서 고객의 모바일 단말기로 전송한다. 그리고 지정된 경로상의 도로가 갑작스런 사고나 공사 중일 때는 우회 경로를 안내한다. 제안한 기법은 진보된 통합 주차 관제 시스템에서 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

This study examines the limitations of existing crime mapping that relies mainly on reported crime data, suggests a crime mapping method based on experts' and users' assessments of a neighborhood environment as an alternative approach, and conducts a case study on a real-world site by applying the suggested approach. According to the results of the case analysis, while the areas adjoining arterial roads with heavy pedestrian traffic were shown as high crime risk areas in the crime map based on actual reported crime data, the areas adjoining local roads with low pedestrian traffic were high-risk areas in the crime risk area map based on experts' and residents' evaluations. This study makes a contribution to the field in that it demonstrates the detailed application process of crime risk area mapping according experts' and residents' evaluations, compares the results with those of an existing crime map, and finally shows that the former can function as a complement to the latter.

Vehicle dynamic simulation has been carried out using the coherence of road roughness between left and right wheels. The generated twin tracks with the coherence of road roughness between left and right wheels are in good agreements with the measured coherence relation of left and right wheels. And these tracks reflect well on the roughness characteristics of real roads. Using the generated roads and multibody dynamic simulation program, vehicle dynamic simulation is performed. The vertical and roll motion analysis of a vehicle are carried out using the realistic road profiles with the coherence between left and right wheels and the results are in good agreements with the dynamic characteristics of a vehicle.

Traction control systems(TCS) improve vehicle acceleration performance and stability, particularly on slippery roads through engine torque and/or brake torque control. This research mainly deals with the engine control algorithm based on adjustment of the engine throttle valve opening. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HWILS) is carried out where the actual hardware is used for the engine/automatic transmission and TCS controller, while various vehicle dynamics are simulated on real-time basis. Also, use of the dynamometer is made in order to implement the tractive force that a road applies to the tire. Although some restrictions are imposed mainly due to the capability of the synamometer, simplified HWILS results show that the slip control algorithm can improve the vehicle acceleration performance for low-friction roads.
