This research was performed to supplement the previous research about the driving rain index (DRI) for Korea determined by using daily weather data for 30 years. The average annual driving rain index (AADRI) was calculated from the hourly weather data, and the magnitude of DRI was investigated according to wind directions. The hourly climate data were obtained from the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) for the period 2009 to 2017. Of 82 locations investigated, seven were classified into regions where the level of exposure of walls to rain was high. The result showed quite a difference from the previous results, in which no high exposure regions were observed. Since the hourly-based and the daily-based annual driving rain index (ADRI) values showed only a slight difference, the result may be explained by the length of the periods used in both studies. The change of DRI according to wind directions showed that there was a certain range of wind directions in which driving rain easily approached building walls. It suggests that the consideration of wind directions with high DRI would be useful to develop a good design of wooden buildings from the point of wood preservation and maintenance.

본 연구는 국내 건축물의 강우에 대한 노출정도를 지역별로 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 바람에 의하여 벽체에 부딪치는 비를 유도강우로 표기하였으며 지역별로 유도강우의 세기를 비교하기 위하여 유도강우지수(Driving Rain Index)를 사용하였다. 국내 64개 지역에서 30년 동안 축적된 풍속과 강우량 자료를 통해서 연평균유도강우지수 (Annual Average Driving Rain Index)를 계산하였으며 이에 근거하여 측정된 지역들을 강우노출이 높은 지역, 중간 지역, 적은 지역으로 구분하였다. 측정된 지역 중 강우에 많이 노출되는 지역은 없었으며 22개 지역만이 노출정도가 중간으로 그리고 나머지 42개 지역은 강우노출정도가 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 기후변화에 따라서 유도강우지수의 변화 폭이 큰 것으로 나타났지만 종합적으로 평가할 때 대관령, 부산, 여수 및 제주도 등의 일부 지역을 제외하면 국내 건축물의 강우노출정도는 높지 않은 것(moderate to low)으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a practical numerical method to determine both the spatial and temporal distribution of driving rain on buildings. It is based on an existing numerical simulation technique and uses the building geometry and climatic data at the building site as input. The method is applied to determine the 3D spatial and temporal distribution of wind-driven rain on the facade a low-rise building of complex geometry. Distinct wetting patterns are found. The important causes giving rise to these particular patterns are identified : (1) sweeping of raindrops towards vertical building edges, (2) sweeping of raindrops towards top edges, (3) shelter effect by various roof overhang configurations. The comparison of the numerical results with full-scale measurements in both space and time for a number of on site recorded rain events shows the numerical method to yield accurate results.

A windshield wiper system plays a key part in assuring the driver's safety during the rainfall. However, because the quantity of rain and snow vary irregularly according to time and the velocity of the automobile, a driver changes wiper speed and interval from time to time to secure enough visual field in the traditional windshield wiper system. Because a manual operation of windshield wiper distracts driver's sensitivity and causes inadvertent driving, this is becoming a direct cause of traffic accidents. Therefore, this paper presents the basic architecture of a vision-based smart windshield wiper system and a rain sensing algorithm that regulates speed and interval of the windshield wiper automatically according to the quantity of rain or snow. This paper also introduces a fuzzy wiper control algorithm based on human's expertise, and evaluates the performance of the suggested algorithm in an experimental simulator.

A windshield wiper system plays a key part in assurance of driver's safety at rainfall. However, because quantity of rain and snow vary irregularly according to time and velocity of automotive, a driver changes speed and operation period of a wiper from time to time in order to secure enough visual field in the traditional windshield wiper system. Because a manual operation of wiper distracts driver's sensitivity and causes inadvertent driving, this is becoming direct cause of traffic accident. Therefore, this paper presents the basic architecture of vision-based smart wiper system and the rain sensing algorithm that regulate speed and interval of wiper automatically according to quantity of rain or snow. Also, this paper introduces the fuzzy wiper control algorithm based on human's expertise, and evaluates performance of suggested algorithm in the simulator model. Especially the vision sensor can measure wider area relatively than the optical rain sensor, hence, this grasps rainfall state more exactly in case disturbance occurs.

Wind-resistant design of existing cooling tower structures overlooks the impacts of rainfall. However, rainstorm will influence aerodynamic force on the tower surface directly. Under this circumstance, the structural response of the super-large cooling tower (SLCT) will become more complicated, and then the stability and safety of SLCT will receive significant impact. In this paper, surrounding wind fields of the world highest (210 m) cooling tower in Northwest China underthree typical wind velocities were simulated based on the wind-rain two-way coupling algorithm. Next, wind-rain coupling synchronous iteration calculations were conducted under 9 different wind speed-rainfall intensity combinations by adding the discrete phase model (DPM). On this basis, the influencing laws of different wind speed-rainfall intensity combinations on wind-driving rain, adhesive force of rain drops and rain pressure coefficients were discussed. The acting mechanisms of speed line, turbulence energy strength as well as running speed and trajectory of rain drops on structural surface in the wind-rain coupling field were disclosed. Moreover, the fitting formula of wind-rain coupling equivalent pressure coefficient of the cooling tower was proposed. A systematic contrast analysis on its 3D distribution pattern was carried out. Finally, coupling model of SLCT under different working conditions was constructed by combining the finite element method. Structural response, buckling stability and local stability of SLCT under different wind velocities and wind speed-rainfall intensity combinations were compared and analyzed. Major research conclusions can provide references to determine loads of similar SLCT accurately under extremely complicated working conditions.

Two experiment are planed to identify driver's safe driving behaviour by curve radius, road surface condition in curve section. At four-lane and two-lane road, conducted experiments are check on driver's feeling of safety that 30 subjects do not feel discomfort. And using the data from these experiments, this study compare physical speed (not slipping, fall our of the road) with safety driving speed(drivers felt a comfortable and safe speed) each curve radius and fiver road surface condition(drying, wet, rain, snow and ice). As a result, safe driving behaviour factors that are derived to curve radius of 100m units, five road surface conditions enable to represent quantitative analysis of driver's discomfort. This study will develop road design method and evaluation reflected ergonomic aspects.

자율주행차량의 상용화를 앞당기기 위해서는 현재 자율주행자동차의 주행안전성을 저하시키는 원인을 정확히 파악하고 이를 개선하는 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구는 우리나라에서 자율 주행을 연구하는 전문가를 대상으로 중요도-만족도(IPA)와 포커스그룹 인터뷰(FGI)를 수행하여 자율주행차량의 주행안전성에 문제가 발생하는 원인과 국내의 자율주행 기술 수준 등을 파악하였다. 설문 결과 현재 자율주행 핸디캡 중에 공사 구간, 폭우/폭설 상황, 미세먼지 상황, 포트홀 존재 상황이 중요도보다 현재 기술 수준에 대한 만족도가 낮아 우선적인 연구개발이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다. 이 중 공사 구간과 포트홀은 도로/도로 시설물의 불량과 센서 자체의 성능이, 날씨와 연결된 상황은 센서의 성능과 알고리즘 부재 등이 가장 큰 원인으로 분석되었다. 안전한 자율주행의 조속한 실현을 위해서는 자율주행차량의 주행안전성을 저해하는 원인에 대한 명확한 파악과 해결이 지속해서 수행되어야 할 것이다.
