In this paper, the real-time detection method of a DDP (Driving Direction Point) is proposed for an unmanned vehicle to safely follow the center of the road. Since the DDP is defined as a center point between two lanes, the lane is first detected using a web camera. For robust detection of the lane, the binary thresholding and the labeling methods are applied to the color camera image as image preprocessing. From the preprocessed image, the lane is detected, taking the intrinsic characteristics of the lane such as width into consideration. If both lanes are detected, the DDP can be directly obtained from the preprocessed image. However, if one lane is detected, the DDP is obtained from the inverse perspective image to guarantee reliability. To verify the proposed method, several experiments to detect the DDPs are carried out using a 4 wheeled vehicle ERP-42 with a web camera.

최근 들어 타이어/노면 소음을 저감하기 위한 다양한 포장공법들에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 저소음 포장공법들을 개발하고자 하는 이유는 도로소음이 고속주행일 경우 도로노면과 타이어에서 발생하는 소음이 지배적이기 때문이다. 대부분의 저소음 포장공법의 핵심연구는 타이어/노면 소음이 노면의 미세조직 및 거시조직의 특성에 영향을 받는다는 점을 고려하여 표층 골재의 입도, 혹은 인위적인 노면조직에 대한 소음을 작게 발생하게 하는 것이다. 이러한 연구에서 어려운 점은 특정한 노면조직 혹은 포장공법에서의 타이어/노면 소음을 평가하기 위해 도로를 건설하고 차량을 주행시켜야 하기 때문에 비용과 시간의 제약을 받는다는 점이다. 따라서 이러한 난점을 극복하고, 다양한 노면조직에서의 소음을 저비용, 단시간에 평가하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 타이어/노면 소음재현장비를 개발하였고, 무타이닝 및 횡방향타이닝 포장에 대하여 타이어/노면 소음을 재현 및 측정을 통하여 개발한 장비의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

지자체 도로예산 절감을 위해 소규모 지역도로의 통행환경을 고려한 소규모 지역도로 포장상태 평가 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 지방 지자체에서 관리하는 지역도로의 경우 설계속도가 낮고 일정하지 않으며 중차량 통행량이 작아 비교적 중요도가 떨어지는 구간이다. 일반적으로 포장상태 조사에는 조사장비를 이용하나 고가의 운영비가 소요되어 소규모 지역도로 적용에는 효율성 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 소규모 지역도로에 적합한 새로운 포장상태 평가지수를 제시하였다. 소규모 지역도로의 포장상태 평가는 제시된 평가지수에 따라 3등급으로 구분하였으며, 전문가 설문조사를 통해 타당성을 검토하였다. 제시된 평가지수는 포장상태 설문조사 결과와 $R^2$가 0.88로 매우 높은 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 제한된 조건에서 육안 균열조사를 통해 산출된 포장상태평가지수는 소규모 지역도로에 활용이 가능하다. 또한 보다 경제적인 포장상태평가방법으로 지역도로 관리뿐 아니라 도로관리 예산절감에도 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

국내 소화물 운송 시장의 공로의존도가 꾸준히 증가하는 추세에 따라 도로정체, 온실가스 배출, 유가상승에 대한 물류비용 증가 등 사회적 비용이 높게 발생되고 있다. 이에 대해 정부는 철도 활성화 정책을 모색하고 있지만 낮은 표정속도와 선로용량 제약, 문전수송의 불가능 등 기존 철도물류시스템으로는 철도물류를 활성화시키기 어려운 특성이 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 현 철도물류시스템의 제약을 극복하고 활성화시키기 위한 방안으로 국가R&D과제로 개발 연구 중인 여객/화물 복합 열차(Hy-SoBex; Hybrid-Surface Optimal Baggage Express)을 활용한 다양한 연계 수송 서비스 모델들 중 최적의 서비스 모델을 선정하였다.

In this paper, we propose an approach to identify the driving environment for intelligent highway vehicles by means of image processing and computer vision techniques. The proposed approach mainly consists of two consecutive computational steps. The first step is the lane marking detection, which is used to identify the location of the host vehicle and road geometry. In this step, related standard image processing techniques are adapted for lane-related information. In the second step, by using the output from the first step, a four-stage algorithm for vehicle detection is proposed to provide information on the relative position and speed between the host vehicle and each preceding vehicle. The proposed approach has been validated in several real-world scenarios. Herein, experimental results indicate low false alarm and low false dismissal and have demonstrated the robustness of the proposed detection approach.

OBJECTIVES : Many roadway departure crashes on the freeway interchange are due to the running speed being greater than the design speed. This study aims to ensure a safe and pleasant driving experience for the driver by increasing the superelevation based on the running speed on the highway interchange ramp. METHODS : The mean running speed for each type of ramp is calculated on site survey more than 10 interchanges. Using the mean running speed, we calculated the superelevation and the side friction using the method given in "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Street" (Pages 145-166, 2001). Then, we applied the modified method to the superelevation range. Finally, we ensured safety using the Degree of Safety that is proven by the centrifugal acceleration ratio as suggested by Joseph Craus (1978). RESULTS : The mean running speeds are 50 km/h and 65 km/h when the design speeds are 40 km/h and 50 km/h, respectively. After the application of the new method used in this study, the superelevation will be increased by 9.0% and 10.0% when the mean running speeds are 50 km/h and 65 km/h, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : A higher superelevation can give the driver a more comfortable and safe driving environment. However, the driver needs to be aware of snow and low-temperature conditions.

Mulching plastic is used for the purpose of maintaining soil temperature, moisture, and weed and pest prevention in agriculture. Any remaining plastic after use may contaminate the soil and damage crop growth. To solve this problem, mulching plastic wrappers have been studied and developed, but the actual use rate is quite low due to their poor performance and frequent tearing of the plastic on the field. In this study, we developed a tractor attachable mulching plastic wrapper to minimize the tearing of the mulched plastic. The developed mulching plastic wrapper consists of hydraulic motors and pumps, valves, a microcontroller, and sensors. The collecting speed of the plastic mulch was calculated considering the tractor's travel speed and the radius of the collecting drum. A proportional controller was designed to control the rotating speed of the hydraulic motor as the plastic was wound around the collection drum and the radius increased. The performance of an indoor experiment was quite promising because the difference between the collecting speed predicted by the calculation and the actual collecting speed was 2.71 rpm. Based on a field verification test, the speed difference was max. 14.28 rpm; thus, the, proportional integral derivative (PID) controller needs to be considered to control the drum speed precisely. Another issue was found when the soil covered at the edge of the plastic was hardened or the road surface was uneven, the speed control was unstable, and the plastic was torn. In future research, vibrational plows will be equipped to break-up the harden soil for collecting the plastic smoothly.

SWP(Stochastic Wave Propagation: 확률파장전파) 모형은 Cellular Automata(CA) 이론을 기반으로한 간략한 차량모형을 이용하여 개별차량의 확률적 형태와 혼잡의 전파를 모사하고, 통계물리학을 기반으로 교통류를 거시적으로 해석한다. SWP모형은 이산적 시공간 구조와 정수형 자료를 이용한 프로그램 지향적 모형구조를 가지며 연산수행속도가 빨라 대규모 가로망의 실시간 시뮬레이션을 가능하게 하였다. 그러나 비현실적인 충돌회피과정으로 인한 자연발생적 혼잡(Spontaneous jam)의 형성 때문에 미시적으로는 혼잡내에서 잠금현상(Lockup)이 발생하여 혼잡내 차량의 저속을 설명할 수 없고, 거시적으로는 혼잡의 밀도와 전파속도를 설명하기 어렵다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비현실적인 차량의 정지과정을 보다 현실적으로 모사하기 위한 정지조작규칙(SMR: Stopping Maneuver Rule)과 혼잡내에서 차량의 낮은 가속을 설명하기 위한 저가속규칙(LAR: Low Acceleration Rule)을 기존의 SWP모형인 NaSch모형에 추가하였다. 이를 통해 미시적으로 보다 현실적인 차량의 정지과정을 모사하면서 혼잡내에서 잠금현상을 방지하고, 거시적으로 혼잡의 밀도와 전파속도를 설명함으로써 보다 다양하게 연속 교통류를 구현하는 모형을 구축하였다.

This paper discusses the energy consumption for a mid-size electric vehicle(EV) under various conditions. In order to analyze which driving style is more efficient in terms of the system of the EV, we develop the electric vehicle model and apply several types of speed profiles such as different steady speeds, acceleration/deceleration, and a real world driving cycle including the elevation profile obtained from a GPS device. The results show that the energy consumption of the EV is affected by the operating efficiency of components when driving at low speed, while it depends on required power at wheels when driving at high speed. Also this paper investigates the effect of the elevation of a road and the rate of electrical braking on the energy consumption as well as the fuel economy of a conventional vehicle model under the same conditions.
