  • This paper describes autonomous emergency braking systems (AEB) for elderly drivers designed to consider their driving characteristics. With aging, perception-reaction time, and decision-making time increase accordingly. Without being aware of these performance degradations, however, changes in driving patterns due to increased alertness while driving lead to vehicle crashes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an autonomous emergency braking system by incorporating the characteristics of the elderly driver. In order to enhance the driver acceptance of older people, perception-reaction time, alertness, and ride comfort need to be considered for conventional autonomous emergency braking systems (C-AEB). Proactive AEB(P-AEB) algorithm has been proposed to reflect human factor of elderly driver above. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated through MATLAB simulink simulation studies. It has been shown from the computer simulations that the proposed P-AEB algorithm enhances the driver acceptance of older people by improving ride comfort while ensuring safety of vehicle.

  • Two control algorithms of active suspension system for improving ride quality are described and their effectiveness is assessed using a quarter car model. Optimal control approach demonstrates great flexibility to meet various running conditions of a vehicle. However, in order to fully utilize the power of optimal control apporach, accurate estimation of the state variables is essential. Simple, yet effective sky-hook algorithm seems to be well suited for real application because of its much relaxed requirements on sensing the stste variables and relative easiness to implment.

  • High-speed rail (HSR) has been in operation and development in many countries worldwide. The explosive growth of HSR has posed great challenges for operation safety and ride comfort. Among various technological demands on high-speed trains, vibration is an inevitable problem caused by rail/wheel imperfections, vehicle dynamics, and aerodynamic instability. Ride comfort is a key factor in evaluating the operational performance of high-speed trains. In this study, online monitoring data have been acquired from an in-service high-speed train for condition assessment. The measured dynamic response signals at the floor level of a train cabin are processed by the Sperling operator, in which the ride comfort index sequence is used to identify the train's operation condition. In addition, a novel technique that incorporates salient features of Bayesian inference and time series analysis is proposed for outlier detection and change detection. The Bayesian forecasting approach enables the prediction of conditional probabilities. By integrating the Bayesian forecasting approach with time series analysis, one-step forecasting probability density functions (PDFs) can be obtained before proceeding to the next observation. The change detection is conducted by comparing the current model and the alternative model (whose mean value is shifted by a prescribed offset) to determine which one can well fit the actual observation. When the comparison results indicate that the alternative model performs better, then a potential change is detected. If the current observation is a potential outlier or change, Bayes factor and cumulative Bayes factor are derived for further identification. A significant change, if identified, implies that there is a great alteration in the train operation performance due to defects. In this study, two illustrative cases are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method for condition assessment of high-speed trains.

  • 현행 철도건설기준에서 종곡선과 완화곡선의 경합은 궤도형식에 관계없이 허용하고 있지 않다. 그러나 이러한 기준은 주로 자갈도상궤도의 유지보수의 어려움 때문에 정립된 것이다. 콘크리트궤도는 자갈도상궤도에 비해 유지보수 및 구조안전성 측면에서 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 콘크리트 궤도의 경우, 열차의 주행안전성 및 승차감 기준을 만족하는 범위내에서 어느 정도의 선로경합은 완화할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 종곡선과 완화곡선의 경합여부에 따라 도상종별 열차의 주행안전성 및 승차감, 그리고 궤도작용력을 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과 경합된 경우도 주행안전, 승차감 및 궤도작용력 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 비록 자갈도상궤도에서의 선로경합은 많은 유지보수를 필요로 하기 때문에 적용될 수는 없다 할지라도, 콘크리트궤도에서는 유지보수 및 구조적 장점을 고려할 때 종곡선과 완화곡선의 경합이 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • There have been a lot of efforts on the improvement for the ride comfort and handling stability of the combat vehicles. Especially most of vehicles for military purpose have bad inertial condition and severe operating condition such as the rough road driving, and need a high mobility in the emergency status. It is necessary to apply the controlled suspension system in order to improve the vehicle mobile stability and ride comfort ability of crews. A feasibility study is performed on the application of the semi-active suspension system with a magneto-rheological controlled shock absorber for a $6{\times}6$ combat vehicle. First, the dynamic simulation model of the vehicle including the control model for the semi-active suspension system was executed. Based on this model, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) system which has a semi-active suspension controller hardware was constructed. After full vehicle simulations were performed in virtual proving courses with this system, the semi-active suspension system was proven to give better ride comfort and handling stability in comparison with the conventional passive suspension system.

  • 본 연구에서는 기존선 속도향상을 위한 곡선부 개량 시 승차감을 고려한 최적평면선형범위에 대한 평가방안을 제시하였다. 또한 다양한 선형설계 초기조건들이 허용개량범위와 승차감 측면에서 최적선형 범위에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 매개변수 해석을 수행하였다. 이와 더불어 현재 경부고속선에 부설되어 있는 선형조건들 중 가장 작은 곡선반경을 가진 평면선형들에 대하여 최적 개량범위를 검토하였다. 해석결과, 주요 초기선형설계변수인 곡선반경과 캔트가 클수록 허용개량범위와 최적선형범위가 넓어짐을 알 수 있었으며, 경부고속선 자갈도상구간에 부설되어 있는 R7000/R8000의 경우에도 선형측면에서는 약간의 개량으로도 속도향상이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
