Since real road experiments have many restrictions, a multi-vehicle traffic simulator can be an effective tool to develop and evaluate fully automated driving systems. This paper presents multi-vehicle environment simulation tool to develop and evaluate motorway automated driving systems. The proposed simulation tool consists of following two main parts: surrounding vehicle model and environment sensor model. The surrounding vehicle model is designed to quickly generate rational complex traffic situations of motorway. The environment sensor model depicts uncertainty of environment sensor. As a result, various traffic situations with uncertainty of environment sensor can be proposed by the multi-vehicle environment simulation tool. An application to automated driving system has been conducted. A lane changing algorithm is evaluated by performance indexes from the multi-vehicle environment simulation tool.

As a sales volume of autonomous vehicle continually grows up, regulations on this new technology are being introduced around the world. For example, safety standards for the Level 3 automated driving system was promulgated in December 2019 by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korean government. In order to promote the development of autonomous vehicle technology and ensure its safety simultaneously, the regulations on the automated driving systems should be phased in to keep pace with technology progress and market expansion. However, according to SAE J3016, which is well known to classify the level of the autonomous vehicle technologies, the description for classification is rather abstract. Therefore it is necessary to describe the automated driving system in more detail in terms of the 'Level.' In this study, the functions and characteristics of automated driving system are carefully classified at each level based on the commentary in the Informal Working Group (IWG) of the UN WP29. In particular, regarding the Level 4, technical issues are characterized with respect to vehicle tasks, driver tasks, system performance and regulations. The important features of the autonomous vehicles to meet Level 4 are explored on the viewpoints of driver replacement, emergency response and connected driving performance.

In this paper, a remote emergency stop system to improve the safety of an automated driving vehicle is proposed. One of the most serious problems of the previous wireless remote emergency system is that it does not work when the wireless channel is damaged in case of an emergency because it is composed of a single communication channel. Therefore, the proposed remote emergency stop system composed of a portable wireless remote system and a stationary wireless remote system is designed and the remote emergency stop system for automated driving vehicles is developed. By applying it to an automated driving vehicle to check it's performance, the wireless remote system is tested. Emergency stops using the portable wireless remote system is tested when the stationary wireless remote system is disconnected. Also, emergency stops using the stationary wireless remote system are tested when the portable wireless remote system is disconnected. The results of the emergency stop test show a satisfactory performance.

자율주행기술이 교통류에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서는 자율차와 비자율차 간의 상호작용을 분석하는 것이 중요한 이슈이다. 특히 자율주행기술을 활용한 유용한 서비스 중의 하나인 군집주행은 주변의 비자율 차량의 주행행태에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 군집주행 환경에서 비자율차의 차로변경행태 분석하는 것이며, 3단계의 실험 및 조사를 수행하였다. 1단계 영상기반 인지특성 분석을 통해 군집주행 환경에서 어떠한 반응행태를 보일 것인지를 조사하였으며, 2단계 주행시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 비자율차의 차로변경행태를 분석하였다. 차로변경행태를 분석하기 위해 차로변경시간과 교통류의 안전성을 나타낼 수 있는 지표인 가속소음을 이용하였으며, 자율차의 시스템 보급률(Market Penetration Rate, MPR)과 피실험자 인적요소에 따른 비자율차의 주행행태 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 마지막 단계인 NASA-TLX(NASA Task Load Index)를 통해 비자율차 운전자의 작업부하를 평가하였다. 분석결과 군집차량군 주변의 비자율차 운전자는 심리적인 부담감을 느끼며, MPR이 증가할수록 차로변경시간이 길어지고 30-40대 운전자 또는 여성 운전자의 경우 안전성이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 도출된 결과는 자율차와 비자율차의 상호작용을 반영한 보다 현실성 높은 교통시뮬레이션 실험 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있고, 이를 기반으로 자율협력주행 환경에서 적용 가능한 교통운영관리전략 수립을 효과적으로 지원할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) approach to control the steering angle in an autonomous vehicle. In designing a highly automated driving control algorithm, one of the research issues is to cope with probable risky situations for enhancement of safety. While human drivers maneuver the vehicle, they determine the appropriate steering angle and acceleration based on the predictable trajectories of surrounding vehicles. Likewise, it is required that the automated driving control algorithm should determine the desired steering angle and acceleration with the consideration of not only the current states of surrounding vehicles but also their predictable behaviors. Then, in order to guarantee safety to the possible change of traffic situation surrounding the subject vehicle during a finite time-horizon, we define a safe driving envelope with the consideration of probable risky behaviors among the predicted probable behaviors of surrounding vehicles over a finite prediction horizon. For the control of the vehicle while satisfying the safe driving envelope and system constraints over a finite prediction horizon, a MPC approach is used in this research. At each time step, MPC based controller computes the desired steering angle to keep the subject vehicle in the safe driving envelope over a finite prediction horizon. Simulation and experimental tests show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is commonly used in manufacturing plant, warehouse, distribution center, and terminal. AGV is self-driven vehicle used to transport material between workstations in the shop floor without the help of an operator, and AGV includes a material transfer system located on the top and driving system at the bottom to move the vehicle as desired. For navigation, AGV mostly uses lane paths, signal paths or signal beacons. Various predominant sensors are also used in the AGV. However, in the conventional AGV, there is a problem of not turning or damaging nearby objects or AGV in a narrow space. In this paper, a new driving system is proposed to move the vehicle in a narrow space. In the proposed driving system, two sets of the combined steering-drive unit are adopted to solve the above problem. A prototype of AGV with the new driving system is developed for the comparative analysis with the conventional AGV. In addition, the experimental result shows the improved performance of the new driving system in the maximum speed, braking distance and positioning precision tests.

'2016 DAVOS 세계경제포럼에서 Klaus Schwab이 "4차 산업혁명"을 처음으로 언급한 이래, 기존 산업이 ICT와 접목하여 새로운 신산업을 창출해내는 현상들이 국내외에서 뜨겁게 논의되고 있다. 4차 산업혁명은 다른말로 'Indutsrie 4.0'으로 표현되기도 한다. 자동차 산업도 마찬가지의 방향으로 진화하고 있다. 자동차가 세상에 나타난 이래 자동차 관련 기술은끊임없이 진화해오고 있는데, 독일 정부가 표방하듯 Industry 4.0 시대의자동차는 운전보조기능의 단계를 넘어 인공지능(AI)을 탑재하여 동적 주행성능의 대부분을 사람 운전자가 아닌 시스템이 관장하는 완전자율주행의 단계로 발전할 것으로 예상된다. 각국은 나름대로의 방식과 체계로 주행자동화(driving automation) 기술을 발전시켜나가고 있다. 현행 자동차관리법령상 '자율주행자동차' 개념은 다양한 단계의 자동화 자동차를 모두담아낼 수 없는 문제점이 있으므로 '자동화 자동차'로 개념설정을 변경하는 것이 타당하다. 아울러 자동화 자동차의 임시운행허가권의 소재도 국토교통부장관이 독점하는 것 보다는 시 도지사에게도 개방하여 지방화시대에 부합한 본래의 자동차 규제제도로 회귀하는 것이 필요하다고 생각한다. 또한 향후 자동화 자동차가 레벨3 이상의 단계로 진화하여 상용화하는 단계에서는 자동차안전기준도 독자적으로 마련되어야 할 것인바, 현행 임시운행허가시의 안전운행요건을 참조하여 레벨3 이상의 자동화자동차를 등록할 때 갖추어야 하는 안전기준을 정립하여 운용하여야 할것이다. 그밖에 레벨3 이상의 단계에서 시스템우선모드에서 운행되는 자동화 자동차라고 하더라도 그 운전자나 승객은 유사시에 운전개입을 하여 운행지배를 하여야 하기 때문에 기본적으로 운전면허의 소지자일 것을 요한다고 본다. 기타 자동화 자동차가 원활하게 운행되기 위해 필요한정보보호체계의 마련과 인공지능법제의 완비 및 자동화기술의 표준화 등은 향후 지속적으로 자동화 자동차 관련 기술이 발전함에 있어서 병행하여 정비하여야 할 중요한 법제영역이다.

This study presents the direction of data triggers and elements to be recorded in automated vehicles in the future in relation to the event data recorder (EDR) and data storage system for automated driving (DSSAD). It does not distinguish between the EDR and DSSAD, but suggests data triggers and elements in preparation for overall automated vehicle accidents and dangerous situations. To propose, the current status of discussions on EDR/DSSAD internationally and the case of investigating accidents with automated vehicles under temporary driving licenses in Korea were analyzed. Based on the analysis, the direction of data triggers and elements of the EDR/DSSAD of automated vehicles were presented.

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.
