The majority of real world frontal collisions involves partial overlap (offset) collision, in which only one of the two longitudinal members is used for energy absorption. This leads to dangerous intrusions of the passenger compartment. Excessive intrusion is usually generated on the impacted side causing higher contact injury risk on the occupants compared with full frontal collision. The ideal structure needs to have extendable length when the front-end structure is not capable to absorb crash energy without violating deceleration pulse requirements. A smart structure has been proposed to meet this ideal requirement. The proposed front-end structure consists of two hydraulic cylinders integrated with the front-end longitudinal members of standard vehicles. The work carried out in this paper includes developing and analyzing mathematical models of two different cases representing vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-barrier in full and offset collisions. By numerical crash simulations, this idea has been evaluated and optimized. It is proven form numerical simulations that the smart structures bring significantly lower intrusions and decelerations. In addition, it is shown that the mathematical models are valid, flexible, and can be used in an effective way to give a quick insight of real life crashes.

In this study, the numerical analyses regarding the distance between the guardrail and the reinforced earth wall as parameter were performed to determine the safe distance of guardrail installed on reinforced earth wall from the reinforced earth wall. The analyses were fulfilled by increasing the distance between the guardrail and reinforced earth wall from 150mm to 750mm. The computer program used in this research is LS-DYNA, which is very' popular in analysis of vehicle collision. Ford single unit truck in NCAC was employed as the model of vehicle and the velocity of vehicle collision was 80km/hr. As a results of analyses, the safety of guardrail was secured regardless of the distance between the guardrail and block of reinforced earth wall. However, to secure the safety of block of reinforced earth wall the distance between the guardrail and block of reinforced earth wall should be over 600mm.

Pedestrians involved in traffic accidents manifest unique trajectory characteristics depending on the collision speed, vehicle configuration, and pedestrian postures. However, the existing analytical models for pedestrian movements do not fully include the rotational characteristics of the pedestrians because they assume a two dimensional parabolic trajectory. This faulty assumption in the development of these models limits their applicability and reliability This study investigated the pedestrians movement at collision by computer simulation. The simulations are carried out by using HADYMO, which is a special simulation software system for dynamic movement analysis. Vehicles and pedestrians are modeled and verified via real crash worthiness experiments. Simulations are performed for various collision speeds, vehicle configuration, and pedestrian postures. Since the simulation uses multi-body dynamics, It can express irregular phenomena of the bodies quite well. The results can be exploited for vehicle design and traffic accident reconstruction.

In order to make the underwater vehicle carry out the mission in a submarine environment, it is needed to plan a safe and efficient route to a given destination and prevent the autonomous submersible from colliding with obstacles while moving along the planned route. The function of collision avoidance makes the travel distance of the autonomous submersible longer. Moreover, it should move slowly near to obstacles against their moving disturbance. As a result, this invokes the degradation of the navigation efficiency in the process of collision avoidance. The side effect of the collision avoidance is not ignorable in the case of high congested environments such as the coast with many obstacles. In this paper, we suggest a path planning method which provides the route with minimum travel time considering collision avoidance in congested environment. For the purpose, we define environmental congestion map related to geometric information and obstacles. And we propose a method to consider the moving cost in the RRT scheme that provides the existing minimum distance path. We verified that the efficiency of our algorithm with simulation experiments.

In this study, we focused on developing and verifying ship collision avoidance algorithms using Unity simulator and ROS(Robot Operating System). ROS is used to establish an environment where communication between different operating systems is possible, and a dynamic model of a ship is constructed within Unity simulator. The Lidar data collected in Unity environment is passed to the system based on python through ROS. In the system based on python, control command values were created through the logic of the collision avoidance algorithm using data, and the values were transferred back to Unity to control the movement of the virtual ship. Through the developed simulation system, the reliability of the collision avoidance algorithm of ships with two different forms in an environment similar to the actual physical world was confirmed. As a result, it was confirmed on the simulator that it could be avoided without collision even in an environment with various types of obstacles, and that the avoidance characteristics according to the dynamics of the ship could be analyzed.

Recently, autonomous vehicles have been studied actively. Autonomous vehicles can detect objects around them using their on board sensors, estimate collision probability and maneuver to avoid colliding with objects. Many algorithms are suggested to prevent collision avoidance. However there are limitations of complex and diverse environments because algorithm uses only the information of attached environmental sensors and mainly depends on TTC (time-to-Collision) parameter. In this paper, autonomous driving algorithm using I2V communication-based cooperative sensing information is developed to cope with complex and diverse environments through sensor fusion of objects information from infrastructure camera and object information from equipped sensors. The cooperative sensing based autonomous driving algorithm is implemented in autonomous shuttle bus and the proposed algorithm proved to be able to improve the autonomous navigation technology effectively.

The latest vehicle yields a superior safety and reduction of driving burden by monitoring the driving state of vehicle and its environment with various sensors. To detect other vehicles and objects of the rear left and right-side blind spot area of driver, provide the information about a existence of objects inside the blind spot, and give a signal to avoid collision, this study proposes the intelligent outside rear-view mirror system. This study proposes SILS system with PreScan and Matlab/Simulink to verify practical applicability of developed BSDS. PreScan yields realistic driving environments and road conditions and vehicle model dynamics and collision warning is controlled by Matlab/Simulink.

대부분의 자동차 사고는 졸음운전과 같은 운전자의 부주의로 인해 발생한다. 전방 추돌 경보 시스템 (FCWS)은 전방 차량으로부터 추돌 위험을 감지하여 운전자에게 사전에 경고함으로써 사고의 위험을 현저하게 줄여준다. 본 논문은 주행 안전을 위한 저전력 임베디드 기반 FCWS를 소개한다. 단일 카메라로부터 전방 차량에 대해 검출, 추적, 거리를 계산하고 현재 차량의 속도 정보를 통해 충돌시간 (TTC)을 계산한다. 또한 저성능 임베디드 시스템에서 실시간으로 동작하기 위해 높고 낮은 수준의 프로그램 최적화 기법을 소개한다. 이 시스템은 임베디드 시스템에서 사전에 취득해둔 주행 영상을 통해서 테스트 하였다. 최적화 기법을 사용한 결과는 이전에 최적화를 하지 않은 프로세스 보다 실행 시간이 약 170배 향상되었다.

본 연구는 노면 흔적이 발생하지 않은 충돌 사고 사례를 중심으로 양 차량의 최종 정지 위치 및 자세, 차량 파손 부위, 노면 흔적, 차량의 제원, 충돌 각도. 충돌 속도, 제동 여부, 조향 여부 등의 자료를 토대로 교통 사고 분석을 위해 사용하는 차량 충돌 해석 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PC-CRASH을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 차대 차 사고에서 충격 자세, 제동 여부, 최종 정지 위치, 충격 지점 및 충돌 속도는 사고 재구성을 위한 중요한 요소이다. 특히, 충돌 속도는 가장 중요한 쟁점이다. SM5와 렉서스의 충돌 속도는 각각 131km/h, 74km/h, SM5와 렉서스의 충돌각은 각각 0.91°, -161.07°으로 분석되었다. 사고 원인은 교차로를 통과하는 SM5가 최고 제한 속도를 61km/h 초과하여 렉서스의 좌회전 차로로 진입하였고, 렉서스는 충돌을 회피하기 위한 과정에서 충돌하였다. 시뮬레이션의 충돌 궤적 오차율은 약 1.4%이다. 사고 조사자의 주관적인 경험에서 벗어나 충돌 역학 및 차량 공학 측면과 시뮬레이션을 적극 활용하여 사실에 근접한 원인 규명을 제시하였다.
