PURPOSES : In This study two different concrete barrier systems have been proposed to be established at the small vehicle driveway. One is for median barrier, and the other is for roadside barrier. METHODS : In order to determine the suitable shape of barrier, the impact parameters including vehicle weight, impact angle, impact velocity and impact level have been analyzed. The real crash test has been carried out with 0.9 ton and 2.5 ton vehicles, respectively by using the 2m segment type concrete barriers connected by steel plates that are totally 40m barrier systems. RESULTS : The numerical results obtained by LS/DYNA-3D software are compared with real crash tests from the viewpoints of vehicle stability, vehicle trajectory, occupant risk, etc. CONCLUSIONS : From the above results, the dynamic performance of proposed barrier systems satisfies the specification of Korean Code for roadside safety structures.

For the purpose of evaluation the damage repairability of a Frame Type Passenger vehicle which experienced a Low Speed 40% Offset front and rear Crash Test. tests were made according to the RCAR testing procedures. Test results concluded ; (1) The deceleration at C.G(center of gravity) off 6.9∼11.39 was similar to that for the vehicle. The airbag system was found to affect neither the passenger's safety nor the savings of the repairing costs. (2) In order to improve the repairability of the Frame Type Passenger vehicle after collision should be a higher crash performance of the bumper on the RCAR standards.

In this paper, a simple test rig of high-speed crash for the front members of vehicles was developed for the improvement of crashworthiness of vehicle's side rail. The cart hanging the specimen is accelerated up to 35 mph by the traction wire and by the force of freely dropping weight and 1:3 accelerating pulleys. The cart with shock absorbers travels on the rail roads, so it does not transfer any additional vibration to the specimen. In order to measure the energy absorbed by the specimen when it collapse to the wall and during it deform, the two strain gage type load cells are used at the wall place. The test rig rated good to test the specimen like a side rail of vehicle as developing the vehicle's structures in the early design stage.

The seating postures of passengers in the automated driving vehicle are possible in atypical forms such as rear-facing and lying down. It is necessary to improve devices such as airbags and seat belts to protect occupants from injury in accidents of the automated driving vehicle, and collision safety evaluation tests must be newly developed. The purpose of this study is to define representative types of head-on collision accidents to develop collision standards for autonomous vehicles that take into account changes in driving behavior and occupants' postures. 150 frontal collision cases remained by filtering (accident videos, images, AIS 2+, passenger car, etc…) and random sampling from approximately 320,000 accidents claimed by a major insurance company over the past 5 years. The most frequent accident type is a head-on collision between a vehicle going straight and a vehicle turning left from the opposite side, accounting for 54.7% of all accidents, and most of these accidents occur in permissive left turns. The next most common frontal collision is the center-lane violation by drowsy driving and careless driving, accounting for 21.3% of the total. For the two types above, data such as vehicle speed, contact point/area, and PDOF at the moment of impact are obtained through accident reconstruction using PC-Crash. As a result, two types of autonomous vehicle crash safety test scenarios are proposed: (1) a frontal oblique collision test based on the accident types between a straight vehicle and a left-turning vehicle, and (2) a small overlap collision test based on the head-on accidents of center-lane violation.

The objective of this study was to construct the spring-mass models for the car-to-car offset frontal impact crash. The SISAME software was utilized to extract the spring-mass models using the data from the offset frontal crash test. The spring-mass model of the passenger car could effectively approximate the crash characteristics for the offset frontal barrier impact and the car-to-car offset frontal impact scenarios.

The EDR(Event Data Recorder) is a part of the ACU(Airbag Control Unit) functions mounted on a vehicle. EDR data have pre-crash data and post-crash data. Pre-crash data are recorded within 5 sec from time zero(AE) with 0.5 sec resolution, and reveal vehicle speed, engine rotation speed, throttle opening, brake pedal operation, acceleration pedal position and steering angle, etc. Using this EDR data, the investigation of a traffic accident can become more objective and scientific. Crash tests of three vehicles equipped with EDR function had been performed successfully. Evaluation of EDR data reliability had also been performed using Vbox and PC-Crash's sequence table function. Based on the results, we could confirm EDR data's reliability and availability for Traffic Accident Analysis by the series of this process.

Over the past ten years, since the introduction of the side crash test regulation in Europe, much research work has been performed internationally to develop new and modified test procedures to improve the level of occupant protection offered by vehicles in side crash test. This research has been co-ordinated and finally contributed to development of an AE-MDB(Advanced European Moving Deformable Barrier) and WorldSID (Worldwide Side Impact Dummy). EuroNCAP(European New Car Assessment Program) has the plan to conduct AE-MDB side crash test using WorldSID from 2015 by replacing Progressive MDB and EuroSID II. Automobile manufacturers need to respond to these changes closely. This paper is to find dominant control factor and analyze it of WorldSID 50%ile dummy injury through AE-MDB side crash test by predicting best and worst condition. And control factors will be validated within EuroNCAP regulations. This paper is analyzed by DFSS(Design for six sigma) which contains 5 control factors and is evaluated by ANOVA with the data as a result of LS-DYNA analysis correlated with crash pulse from 50 kph AE-MDB side crash test using WorldSID 50%ile dummy.

교통사고 원인분석 및 사고예방을 위해서는 교통사고 유발요인에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 기존 연구에서는 기하구조, 운전자 특성 등의 요인을 고려하여 연구를 진행하였다. 그러나, 운전자 특성요인 분석에 사용된 자료는 검지기에서 측정된 집계된 속도로써, 속도 변화량을 이용한 사고분석연구에는 한계가 존재한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차량의 속도변화 등의 수집이 용이한 센서를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 가속도자료 및 기하구조 특성을 나타내는 변수를 설정하고, 사고자료와 매칭을 통해 사고개연성이 높은 잠재적 변수로의 적합성을 평가하였다. T-test, 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용했으며, T-test 결과로써 도출된 변수를 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석의 독립변수에 적용하고, 사고발생 유 무를 종속변수로 설정하였다. 분석결과, 5개의 변수가 사고발생에 영향을 주는 변수로 도출되었다. 또한, 도출된 모형은 사고발생구간의 예측에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 확보하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 위험 운전행태 변수 및 모형은 프로브차량에 설치하여 활용할 수 있는 장치 등에 적용시켜 사고위험도 및 안전성 평가에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper develops a finite element model for frontal crash analysis of a large-sized truck. It is composed of 220 parts, 70,041 nodes and 69,073 elements. This paper explains only major parts' models in detail such as frame, cab, floor, and bumper which affect on crash analysis a lot. In order to prevent penetration not only at a part itself but also between parts, all contact areas are defined using type-36, self-impact type. The developed model's reliability is validated by comparing simulation and crash test results. The results used for model validation are vehicle pulses at B-pillar, and frame and deformation of frame and cab. The frontal crash simulation is performed with the same conditions as crash test. And, it is performed using PAM-CRASH installed in super-computer SP2. The developed model whose reliability is verified may be used as a base to develop a finite element model for occupant behavior and injury coefficient analysis.

본 연구에서는 한국도로공사 도로교통기술원에서 수행한 충격흡수시설의 충돌시험 결과 데이터를 분석하여 충격흡수시설 설계법 개발을 위한 유용한 결과를 얻고자 하였다. 분석에 사용된 CC1등급 충격흡수시설 10회, CC2등급 충격흡수시설 24회 총34회의 충돌시험 결과데이터들을 이용하여 국내 지침에 따라 탑승자 충돌속도(THIV)와 탑승자 가속도(PHD)를 계산하였고 총34회의 충돌시험데이터에서 Y축 가속도와 Yaw 각속도를 무시하고 X축 가속도 충돌시험데이터만을 이용해 탑승자 충돌속도(THIV)와 탑승자 가속도(PHD)를 계산하였다. 비교분석 결과 충격흡수시설의 탑승자 안전도가 오차율 2% 미만으로 나타나 X축 가속도 충돌시험데이터만을 이용한 탑승자 안전도 계산의 유효성이 증명되었다. 충돌시험 데이터 중 X축 가속도를 적분하여 얻은 흡수에너지와 초기 충돌차량의 충돌에너지를 비교분석한 결과, 거의 정확히 일치하여 X축 가속도만을 사용한 충격흡수시설의 충돌거동 분석이 가능하였다. 본 논문에서는 충격흡수시설의 실물차량 충돌시험데이터를 이용해 탑승자의 안전도 및 충돌거동을 분석함으로써 일차원을 적용한 충격흡수시설의 설계법 개발의 근간을 마련하였다.
