The profile of unpaved road is an important issue in the reliability of endurance test. Efforts on measuring 2D road profile and analyzing the severity have been continued in the study of performing reliable endurance test evaluations through reflecting the results of such measurement and analysis. However, 2D road profile has limitation in measuring the profile in the road width direction because data is obtained along the trailer wheel track. Therefore, in order to measure 3-dimensional shape of road surface and construct severity DB of 3D road profile, Changwon Proving Ground(CPG) of Agency for Defense Development(ADD) developed 3D profilometer which is composed of laser scanner, IMU, GPS, encoder and so on. This paper focuses on the analysis of unpaved road severity using 3D road profile for army operation roads. This results will be used to manage test courses severity of CPG.

This roport explain the basic theory of desinging the accelerating durability test road and the role of each factors contributing to test road surface profile. Also this road is designed by considering the charactors of vehicle suspension system and condition of driving. In test road, the factors affecting to the vehicle Structural durability are correlation among surface shape of road profile, frequency of vehicle suspension system, distribution of axletwist angle and vibration profile height Road PSD magnitude and frequency delay is used to control these factors relation.

Full scale durability test in the laboratory is an essential of any fatigue life evaluation of components or structures of the automotive vehicle. Component testing is particularly important in today's highly competitive industries where the design to reduce weight and production costs must be balanced with the necessity to avoid expensive service failure. Generally, Hydraulic road simulator is used to carry out the fatigue test and the vibration test. In this paper, the algorithm and software to realize the real road profile are developed. The operation software for simultaneously controlled multi-axial simulator is developed and the input and output data are displayed window based PC controller in real time. The software to generate the real road profile are developed. This paper developed a road profile reappearance software and simultaneously apply 3-axial actuator to white noise, so we verified the propriety of reappearance software through accomplishes an real test.

The vibration environment essentially companied by vehicle operation on the ground is determined by the shape of road surface, which is called profile. This paper focuses on development of a profile and severity measurement system for unpaved test courses. In general, the profile and severity of unpaved road is an important issue in the reliability of endurance test. In order to measure unpaved road profile and severity, it is necessary to develop a profilometer system. The developed profilometer system is composed of data processing computer, power unit, air compressor and sensors(encoder, vertical gyro and laser displacement) This paper presents the measuring system configuration, measurement principle of road profile and analysis method of road characteristics used at CPG(Changwon Proving Ground) for this purpose.

PURPOSES : Previous Speed Profile reflects the patterns of speeds in sections of tangents to curves in the roads. However these patterns are uniform of speeds and Acceleration/Deceleration. In oder to supplement these shortcomings. this study made a new profile which can contain factors of Acceleration/Deceleration through theories of Previous Speed Profiles. METHODS : For sakes, this study developed the speed prediction model of Rural Multi-Lane Highways and calculated Acceleration/Deceleration by appling a Polynomial model based on developed speed prediction model. Polynomial model is based on second by second. Acceleration/Deceleration Profile is developed with the various scenarios of road geometric conditions. RESULTS : The longer an ahead tangent length is, The higher an acceleration rate in curve occurs due to wide sight distance. However when there are big speed gaps between two curves, the longer tangent length alleviate acceleration rate. CONCLUSIONS : Acceleration/Deceleration Profile can overview th patterns of speeds and Accelerations/Decelerations in the various road geometric conditions. Also this result will help road designer have a proper guidance to exam a potential geometric conditions where may occur the acceleration/deceleration states.

Futhermore, the software to generate the real road profile are developed. The validity of the software are verified by applying the belgian road, the city road, the highway, and the gravel road. The results of the above experiment show that the real road profiles are realized well after 10th iteration.

For the stress and vibration analysis of vehicle component by computer simulation, it is necessary to find the forces acting on the vehicle components due to the road profile undulation. A precise modeling of tires is not easy due to nonlinear effects between tire-ground. In this study, a new method is proposed to regenerate road profiles that preserves the same PSD of wheel with a linear tire model. Using the frequency response function between road-wheel , the digital signal processing method, and DADS program , road profile is regenerated from the computer simulation.

In the recent years, it is important to evaluate the durability and the reliability of the vehicle, aircraft, and structure. Especially, in case of the vehicle, the durability and reliability are tested by driving test after making prototype vehicles. However, these methods require many costs and efforts for the experiment are needed to react the defects of product. This problems can be settled by simulator which supplies the realistic environments. In this parer, four-axial road simulator with hydraulic power and driving program to operate are made up. The displacement road profile is realized by accelerometers. For the verification the real-vehicle experiment is executed and road profile obtained from the experiment is verified by four-axial road simulator.

This paper presents an algorithm capable of detecting free space for the autonomous vehicle navigation. The algorithm consists of two main steps: 1) estimation of longitudinal profile of road, 2) detection of free space. The estimation of longitudinal profile of road is detection of v-line in v-disparity image which is corresponded to road slope, using v-disparity image and hough transform, Dijkstra algorithm. To detect free space, we detect u-line in u-disparity image which is a boundary line between free space and obstacle's region, using u-disparity image and dynamic programming. Free space is decided by detected v-line and u-line. The proposed algorithm is proven to be successful through experiments under various traffic scenarios.

A Korean Road Roughness Classification(KRC) method is proposed. Using a dynamic road profiling device equipped with the Accelerometer Established Inertial Profiling Reference(AEIPR) method, road profile measurement is performed on various types of public paved roads in Korea. The road profiling data are processed to classify the characteristics of Korean road roughness. The resultant Korean road roughness classification(KRC) is shown different characteristics compared to the road classification proposed by ISO, MIRA, and Wong. The proposed KRC is composed of 8 classes(A-H, very good-poor) based on the power spectral density and is in good agreements with the characteristics of Korean paved road roughness and can be used well in vehicle ride comfort simulation using domestic road profile.
