  • PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to research the influence of road traffic noise by road slope through the analysis of the field road traffic noise and determine consideration of road slope in the case of appling active noise cancellation. METHODS: This study measures vehicle's noise by the NCPX method at the three field sections such as uphill, downhill, and flatland. Total sound pressure and sound pressure level by the 1/3 octave band frequency are calculated through the raw field data. Total sound pressure level is compared by ANOVA test and T test statistically. The results obtained are compared in accordance with the road slope and the progress of the uphill section. RESULTS : The noise characteristic of early, medium, and last parts of uphill was found to be consistent when the vehicle was travelling uphill section. The result of statistical test, it was shown that total sound pressures are not different each other. According to the comparison by the geometry, sound pressure of the uphill section was higher than those of the flatland and downhill section in high frequency band. By the result of statistical test, total sound pressure are different according to geometry in the case of high vehicle speed. In the comparison result by road slope, each sound pressure level was found to be consistent in total frequency. However, total sound pressure proportionally increased according to road slope. CONCLUSIONS: It is found that the effect of road slope on noise generation was little in this experimental sites.

  • There have been numerous studies directed toward the development of driving mechanisms for off-road mobility and rescue robots. To achieve surveillance, reconnaissance, and rescue, it is necessary for robots to have a driving mechanism that can handle off-road environments, We propose a new type of single-track driving mechanism with a variable geometry for a rescue robot, This mechanism has a symmetric configuration so that the robot can advance in two directions and also remain operable when overturned. By transforming its geometry, the robot can reduce energy consumption in steering and rotating as well as maximize its ability to climb obstacles such as stairs. The robot is also designed to have a compact size and low center of gravity to facilitate driving when on a set of stairs. In this paper, we analyzed the design parameters of the robot for the four phases of climbing stairs and determined the specifications needed to enhance its adaptability.

  • 본 연구는 대상도로인 내부순환로에 대해 태양복사모델(SOlar and LongWave Environmental Irradiance Geometry-model, SOLWEIG)을 통해 산출한 도로의 그림자 패턴을 사용하여 항상 그늘이 지는 음영지역을 살펴보고, 열수지법을 기반으로 한 노면온도예측모델(road surface temperature prediction model, 이하 RSTPM)과 SOLWEIG 모델을 연계하여 고해상도의 태양복사정보를 활용한 도로의 노면온도를 예측하고자 하였다. 우선, 그림자 패턴 및 복사플럭스 산출의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 안개, 구름, 강수 등의 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 사례일을 선정하여, 고도 및 지형의 효과에 따른 그림자의 영향을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 터널 입출구와 고도가 높은 지역에서 그림자 영역이 오래 지속되었고, 그림자의 영향을 많이 받는 구간의 복사량 감소가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 이는 노면온도 예측결과에 반영되어 지형적으로 개방된 지점에서는 노면온도가 높게 예측되고, 고도가 높은 지점들은 그렇지 않은 지점에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 예측되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 겨울철 기상상황에 따른 도로 결빙구간을 예측하여 도로 관리자 및 운전자의 의사결정 자료로서의 활용이 기대된다.

  • Lane Sensing techniques based on vision sensors are regarded promising because they require little infrastructure on the highway except clear lane markers. However, they require more intelligent processing algorithms in vehicles to generate the previewed roadway from the vision images. In this paper, a lane sensing algorithm using vision sensors is developed to improve the sensing robustness. The parallel stereo-camera is utilized to regenerate the 3-dimensional road geometry. The lane geometry models are derived such that their parameters represent the road curvature, lateral offset and heading angle, respectively. The parameters of the lane geometry models are estimated by the Kalman filter and utilized to reconstruct the lane geometry in the global coordinate. The inverse perspective mapping from the image plane to the global coordinate considers roll and pitch motions of a vehicle so that the mapping error is minimized during acceleration, braking or steering. The proposed sensing system has been built and implemented on a 1/10-scale model car.

  • PURPOSES: In this paper, the effectiveness of speed-maintained standardization in road geometry on environmental impact at a downward slope location, based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission indicators, was studied. Specifically, the aim of this study was to ascertain whether speed-maintained standardization resulted in decreased $CO_2$ emissions as well as noise pollution, due to reduced vehicle speeds. METHODS : In this study, speed-maintained standardization in road geometry was proposed as a means to reduce vehicle speeds, with a view to reducing $CO_2$ emissions and noise pollution. This technique was applied at a downward slope location. The vehicle speeds, $CO_2$ emissions, and noise levels before and after application of speed-maintained standardization were compared. RESULTS: It was found that speed-maintained standardization was effective as a means to reduce speed, as well as $CO_2$ emissions and noise pollution. By applying speed-maintained standardization, it was confirmed that vehicle speeds were reduced consistently. As a result, $CO_2$ emissions and noise levels were decreased by 9% and 11%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : This study confirmed that speed-maintained standardization in road geometry is effective in reducing vehicle speeds, $CO_2$ emissions, and noise levels. Moreover, there is further scope for the application of this method in the design of roads in urban and rural areas, as well as in the design of highways.

  • This paper is concerned with a local detection of road on an airborne SAR image. The roads can be characterized by their geometry and radiometry. Roads are assumed as linear, thin, and elongated objects that are darker than their surroundings on an airborne SAR image. With these assumptions, a series of morphological filters are applied and tested successively. This approach is simple and almost non parametric and has been successfully applied to an airborne SAR image.

  • 대기오염 물질배출량 중 도로이동오염원에 의한 배출량은 다른 오염원에 비해 월등히 높은 편이나 관련연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 교통량, 속도 및 기타기상 조건의 실시간 자료와 도로기하구조와 같은 도로특성인자를 반영하여, 대기오염 물질 배출에 도로환경요인이 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 서울시의 실시간 대기오염 데이터와 교통량, 도로관련 데이터를 수집하여 대기오염 물질별 오염배출량 예측 회귀모형식을 구축하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교통량이 증가할수록 오염물질의 측정량은 증가하며, 속도가 증가할수록 측정량은 감소한다. 둘째, 풍속, 온도, 습도가 증가할수록 측정량은 감소한다. 셋째, 교차로 형태가 복잡할수록 측정량은 감소한다. 예측모형을 검증하기 위하여 예측치와 실측치 데이터를 비교 분석한 결과 총 7곳의 도로변대기오염 측정망 중 실측치와 예측치가 가장 부합하는 측정망은 청계 4가 측정망인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 실시간 대기오염배출량 데이터와 교통량 데이터, 도로환경 특성데이터를 이용하여 예측모형을 구축하여 현실적인 도로환경요인이 대기질에 미치는 영향을 설명하였다는 데 의의가 있다.

  • PURPOSES : Ambiguous decision on whether rural or urban area for road design can increase the construction cost and restrict the land use of surrounding area. However, administrative classification on rural and urban area is not directly related to road design because of this classification is not based on the engineering viewpoint, so method which can explain the road design context is required. METHODS : Method which enables to identify the area for road design is suggested based on the deceleration expected to be experienced by drivers who use the road section concerned. Deceleration rate corresponding to the area such as rural or urban suggested in Road Design Guideline is used as the criteria to identify the area by comparing this value with the estimated deceleration rate at the road section concerned. Speed profile method is utilized to derive the deceleration rate, and speed estimation way for reflecting both road geometry and intersection is suggested using stopping sight distance concept. RESULTS : The procedure of the method application is suggested, and the design example utilizing the method is provided. CONCLUSIONS : The method is expected to be used to identify the area for road design with engineering viewpoint, and design consistency among the roads with similar driving environment can be made.
