The proportion of diesel vehicle is very high in this country . PM and NOx emitted from diesel-posered vehicle is severely ;affecting to be air quality . Especially, diesel particulate matters(DPM) including black smoke are hazardous air pollutants to human health and environment. In order to reduce the exhaust emissions from diesel engines, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of exhaust emissions from diesel engines in various driving conditions. Recently, there are occasion to increase the fuel consumption rate to engine power up. So, in this study we have tested a diesel engine detached from in use -diesel vehicle and analyzed exhaust emission by driving condition and fuel dispersion rate. From this results, we will prepare the comprehensive management plan for exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles and contribute to the improvement of air pollution in urban area.

PURPOSES : The causes of traffic accidents can be classified into the factors of highway users, vehicles, and driving environments. Traffic accidents result from the deficiency in single or combination of these three factors. The objective of this study is to define the "potentially hazardous sections of highway" in terms of traffic safety considering these three factors. METHODS : The test drivers performed repeated driving on these highway sections. The drivers and passengers recorded the sections on which the driving was uncomfortable, and the speeds on the sections excluding the uncomfortable sections were used for the development of the model. RESULTS : The model is composed of three sub-models for each of the horizontal curve, tangent, and the section where the curve starts/ends. The safe driving behavior coefficients by the horizontal curvature were derived by comparing the maximum operating speeds at which the vehicle may slide or deviate and the speeds at which the drivers feel comfort. The safety speeds on tangent were derived by the length of tangent section considering the driver's desired speeds under the traffic condition on which the drivers hardly influenced by the other vehicles. For the sections where the curve starts/ends, the driving behaviors were classified by the distances between the curves, and the safe acceleration/deceleration speeds were derived on which the drivers enter/exit the curve sections safely. CONCLUSIONS : Safety speed could then be regarded that the model suggested in this study may be useful to define the potentially hazardous highway section and contribute the improvement of highway safety.

현재 전 세계적으로 연구·개발 중인 자율주행차 Level 3에서 Level 5단계는 운전자의 인지-판단-제어과정을 차량에 탑재된 각종 센서로 대체하여, 운전과정의 대부분을 인공지능이 자율적으로 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 하지만 현재 자율주행차는 국가별로 상이한 자율주행차의 판단능력 최소기준을 만족할 경우, 임시운행 허가를 받아 도로주행이 가능하도록 하고 있다. 향후 자율주행차가 보급될 때 구매자들은 임시운행 허가의 한계로 위험상황 회피능력에 대한 신뢰도가 높지 않을 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 드라이빙 시뮬레이터 기반으로 운전자의 위험상황 회피능력 비교·평가를 통해 자율주행차 판단능력 등급화 방안 제시 및 시나리오별 등급화가 가능한 평가지표를 도출하고자 하였다. 드라이빙 시뮬레이터 실험에는 성인 30명(남=25, 여=5명)이 참여하였다. 실험결과 분석은 K-평균 군집분석과 독립표본 T-검정을 진행하였으며, 이를 통해 자율주행차의 판단능력 등급 분류가 가능함과 등급 분류의 통계적 유의성을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 자율주행차의 위험상황 회피능력에 대한 신뢰수준을 향상시키는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, vehicle directional stability is investigated for limit driving for crash avoidance maneuver using a full vehicle dynamic model. The model was analytically validated using typical step steering and lane change simulation. Limit driving condition for the vehicle model was quoted from research results of references. It was demonstrated that instable vehicle motion was caused by not only road conditions but also driving conditions. Also, the simulation showed that braking combined with steering caused very hazardous situation in crash avoidance maneuver. Finally, phase plane plot approach was used to evaluate the dynamic instability.

신호교차로 구간의 위험원인에 대해서 사전에 사고예방을 강구한다면 사고건수를 줄이는데 도움이 될 것이다. 특히, 신호교차로에서 기하구조 개선과 같이 많은 예산을 투자하지 않더라도 사고감소효과를 낼 수 있다. PG(Positive Guidance) 기법은 신호교차로에서 도로안전시설물의 개선을 통하여 교통사고를 예방할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 과속으로 인해서 사고위험성이 높은 신호교차로 1곳을 선정하여 대상지점의 문제점 분석 및 개선방안을 도출하였다. 선정된 구간은 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 대상구간의 현황을 그대로 재현하여 실험하였다. 이를 토대로 PG개선 전 후의 지점별 속도효과가 있는지를 검증하기 위해서 t 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 개선 후에는 운전자가 정보를 충분히 제공받아서 신호교차로 부근에서 속도를 감속하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 본 연구를 토대로, PG기법을 활용할 수 있는 일부 신호교차로에 대해서 많은 비용을 투자하지 않더라도 저비용으로 교통사고 감소 효과를 거둘 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to examine elderly drivers' driving performances at the intersections, suggested by Bao and Boyle(2009), according to visual information processing skills. Visual information processing skills of elderly drivers were measured by using the visual working memory task, developed by Min et al.(2006). Seven elderly drivers were divided into two groups(good/poor) depending on the level of visual information processing skills and eleven younger drivers were a contrast group. This study examined the differences of driving performance(i.e., intersection passing times, approach velocities, speed variation and handling variations) among three groups. The results showed that elderly drivers having the poor visual information processing skills passed more slowly through the intersection than the contrast group, and passing times between elderly drivers having the good visual information processing skills and the contrast group was not significantly different. It is suggested that elderly drivers having the poor visual information processing skills use more times when they pass through the intersection, because they don't process a lot of hazardous and latent hazardous factors quickly.

공격운전은 밀착주행과 급감속과 같은 행위로 상대 운전자를 위협하는 고의적인 행동으로 교통사고 발생 가능성이 높은 위험운전이벤트이다. 본 연구에서는 Multi-agent 주행 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 공격운전 가해자와 피해자의 상호작용을 차량거동형태를 분석하였다. 운전자의 고의적인 공격의지 검지를 위해 주행패턴을 효과적으로 상대 평가할 수 있는 지표(Erratic Driving Index, EDI)를 도출하였다. 기존의 상용차의 디지털운행기록계 자료를 활용한 위험운전 검지기법과 본 연구에서 도출한 EDI를 연계한 공격운전 검지 방법론을 새롭게 개발하였고 활용성을 평가하였다. 공격운전을 억제하고 운전자의 안전운전을 유도하는 운전자 행태 관리를 위해 본 연구의 결과물이 효과적으로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

각국의 자율주행시스템 기술개발 경쟁이 심화함에 따라 정부도 자율주행시스템의 시장 진입을 전방위에서 지원하고 있다. SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers) 3단계 기술은 운전자가 위험 상황을 회피해야 하고, 4단계 기술은 자율주행시스템 스스로 위험 상황에 대응할 수 있어야 한다. 이에 따라, 공공부문은 도로 위험 상황을 모니터링하고, 도로 인프라 정보를 운전자와 자율주행시스템에 제공하여 대응할 수 있도록 지원할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 도로 인프라 위험 요소를 자율주행시스템의 ODD(Operational Design Domain) 특성에 따라 모니터링 대상별 위험 요소를 세분화하고, 각 위험 요소가 차량에 미칠 영향에 따른 위험도 등급화 및 평가 방안을 제시하였다. 위험 상황 발생 시 자율주행차의 운행 특성을 시뮬레이션하고, 위험 요인 특성과 물리적인 차량 조건 사이의 영향 관계를 파악하여 등급화함으로써 위험도를 평가할 수 있다. 또한 수집된 모니터링 정보는 관리 센터와 공유하고, 요소별 특성에 따른 노드 혹은 링크 형태로 정밀지도에 표출하여 위치정보와 위험도 등급 등 종합적 관리가 가능한 모니터링 체계를 정립할 것을 제안하였다.

The adoption of hydrogen-powered Elec is expanding globally. Hydrogen is recognized as a potentially hazardous energy source, and safety assessment is crucial for the development of plans to supply hydrogen-powered electric buses. Hydrogen gas leakage can have a significant impact during bus operations, and continuous hydrogen leakage in hydrogen-powered vehicles can result in fatal accidents. In this study, information about hydrogen leakage is collected through sensors installed within the vehicles and is measured when the sensor detects a leak. The study also proposes the use of Pseudo Fuel Leakage (PFL, %) as an additional indicator for evaluating and monitoring hydrogen safety and leakage.
