By coming of the 4th industrial revolution era, HD map have became a key infrastructure for determining precise location of autonomous driving in areas of futuristic cars, logistics and robots. Autonomous vehicles have became more dependent on HD map to determine the exact location of objects detected by various sensors such as LiDAR, GNSS, Radar, and stereo cameras as well as self-location decisions. By actualizing autonomous driving and C-ITS technologies, the demand for precise information on HD map have increased. And also the demand for the creation of new information based on the convergence of various changes and real-time information have increased. In this study, domestic and international HD map standards and related environments have analyzed. Based on this, usability has researched which comparison with standard HD map established by various institutions. Additionally, usability of standard HD map have studied for applying actual autonomous vehicles by reworking HD map. By the result of study, standard HD map have well established to use by various institutions. If further research about layer classification and definition by institutions will carried out based on this study, it has expected that and efficient establishment and renewal of HD map will take place.

자율주행 맵은 도로의 주행환경 정보(차로, 도로 마크, 신호등의 위치 등)와 시간에 따라 변화하는 동적 주행환경 정보(장애물 출현, 일시적인 통행제한, 긴급한 도로 복구, 교차로 교통혼잡 등)로 구성된다. 자율주행 맵 생성 및 갱신 기술은 차로 구분선이나, 도로 교통과 관련된 실시간 갱신 주기 측면에서 더욱 세밀하고, 정확한 위치 정보가 요구되며, 또한, 최신성을 유지하는 기능을 가진다. 이러한 고정밀 지도의 세밀함과 정확성, 최신성은 자율주행 서비스를 위해 요구되는 필수적인 요소이다. 클라우드와 연계하여 생성되는 자율주행 맵은 차량 운행 시 수집되는 정보를 클라우드에 축적하여 가공함으로써, 시간과 인력 투입을 통해 데이터를 취득하고 지도를 구축하는 면에서 작업 품을 효과적으로 개선하는 데 도움이 된다. 유지와 보수 측면에서는 정기적으로 또는 신속하게 갱신하여 최신의 정보를 유지하는 장점이 있다. 본고에서는 자율주행 맵을 생성하고 갱신하는 클라우드 연계 플랫폼과 연구 결과 일부를 소개한다.

Road-view object classification methods are mostly influenced by weather and illumination conditions, thus the most of the research activities are based on dataset in clean weathers. In this paper, we present a road-view object classification method based on color segmentation that works for all kinds of weathers. The proposed method first classifies the weather and illumination conditions and then applies the weather-specified color models to find the road traffic signs. Using 5 different features of the road-view images, we classify the weather and light conditions as sunny, cloudy, rainy, night, and backlight. Based on the classified weather and illuminations, our model selects the weather-specific color ranges to generate Gaussian Mixture Model for each colors, Green, Yellow, and Blue. The proposed method successfully detects the traffic signs regardless of the weather and illumination conditions.

The reliability of air quality evaluation results for green transportation could be improved by applying correct emission factors. Unlike previous studies, which estimated emission factors that focused on vehicles in laboratory experiments, this study investigates emission factors according to road types and time using real driving data. The real driving data was collected using a Portable Activity Monitoring System (PAMS) according to road types and time, which it compared and analyzed fuel consumption from collected data. The result of the study shows that fuel consumption on national highway is 17.33% higher than the fuel consumption on expressway. In addition, the average fuel consumption of peak time is 4.7% higher than that of non-peak time for 22.5km/h. The difference in fuel consumption for road types and time is verified using ANOCOVA and MANOVA. As a result, the hypothesis of this study - that fuel consumption differs according to road types and time, even if the travel speed is the same - has proved valid. It also suggests correction factor of emission factors by using the difference in fuel consumption. It is highly expected that this study can improve the reliability of emissions from mobile pollution sources.

8차로 고속도로에서 중앙분리대와 길 어깨에 의해 측방 여유폭이 제공되는 외측차 로(1.4차로)와 측방 여유폭이 제공되지 않는 내측차로 (2.3차로)에서 나타나는 운전자의 횡 방향 주행특성을 4개 지점에서 비디오 촬영하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 차량의 횡 방향 주행궤적은 차로의 중심으로부터 주행방향의 좌측으로 이격된 주행 행태를 보이고 있 으며 이는 운전석의 위치에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. (2) 차량의 병행 주행시 외측 차로의 중심 이격 거리는 평균 0.38m이고 내측차로의 중심 이격 거리는 평균 0.34m로 나타났으며 T-test 겨로가 내측 차로와 외측 차로의 주행 이격 거리는 신뢰도 95%에서 상이한 것으로 나타났다. (3) 외측 차로의 주행궤적간 이격 거리는 평균 3.90m이고 내측 차로의 주행궤적 간 이격 거리는 평균 3.54m로서 내측 차로의 주행궤적간 이격 거리는 외측 차로의 주행궤 적간 이격 거리보다 0.36m 작다. 특히 내측 차로의 주행궤적간 이격 거리는 내측 차로간 차로 중심간 간격인 3.6m 보다 0.1m 작은 것으로 나타났다. (4) 내측차로 확장 대안으로 기존 도로폭 유지안 (3.5m, 3.7m, 3.5m)과 기존 도로폭 확장안 (3.6m, 3.7m, 3.7m, 3.6m)을 고려할 수 있으며 두 대안의 비교·분석결과 경제적 영향을 고려할 때 기존 도로폭 유지안이 우수한 것으로 분석되었다.

자율주행 차량이란 목적지를 입력하면 운전자의 도움없이 자율적으로 주행환경을 인식하면서 주어진 목적지까지 안전하고 신속하게 스스로 주행할 수 있는 차량을 말한다. 차량이 자율주행을 하기 위한 가장 중요한 요소는 주행로의 경계를 인식하고 정확한 조향 각도를 구하는 일이다. 이의 잘못된 인식과 잘못된 계산은 차량으로 말미암아 많은 물적, 인적손실을 가져올 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 주위환경을 인식하는데 차량의 전방에 CCD 카메라를 부착하여, 이를 통해 얻어진 도로의 영상으로부터 도로 경계의 인식 방법과 핸들의 조향 각도를 계산하는 방법론을 제시하고자 한다.

There have been enormous efforts to develop an innovative public transport bus service for enhancing its operational efficiency based on Automated Vehicle(AV). However, since the vehicle operating environment in the public transport system varies with the purpose and method of mobility service, it is necessary to preferentially evaluate the current roadworthiness for an effective way to introduce the AV. Therefore, this study classified and redefined AV-based mobility service based on literature reviews. This research conducted the roadworthiness test for checking the feasibilities of the AV-based mobility services. Furthermore, we suggested some deployment strategies of the AV-based mobility service considering the Level-Of-Service (LOS) of road infrastructure based on the results of roadworthiness tests. The proposed direction would have a great potential to introduce the AV-based public transport system in the near future.

Recently, there has been a worldwide increase in research and development on automated vehicles for commercialization. It is expected that the use of level 3 autonomous vehicles on continuous-flow roads will be introduced and will increase. Consequently, various studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of mixed traffic flow with automated vehicles based on the market penetration rate (MPR). However, these studies have been conducted independently, and the results have shown different trends. Therefore, this study attempted a quantitative analysis of the impact of automated vehicles on mixed traffic flow on uninterrupted roads through a meta-analysis. The results showed that the effect size estimated from an MPR of 75% or higher was statistically significant.

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of wandering effect on asphalt concrete pavement responses. A laser-based wandering system has been developed and its performance is verified under various field conditions. The portable wandering system composed of two laser sensors with Position Sensitive Devices can allow one to measure the distance between laser sensors and tire edges of moving vehicle. Therefore, lateral position of each wheel on the pavement can be determined in a real time manner. Pavement responses due to different loading paths are investigated using a roll over test which is carried out on one of asphalt surfaced pavements in the Korea Highway Corporation test road. The pavement section (A5) consists of 5 cm thick surface course; 7 cm intermediate course; and 18 mm base course, and is heavily instrumented with strain gauges, vertical soil pressure cells and thermo-couples. From the center of wheel paths, seven equally-spaced lateral loading paths are carefully selected over an 140 cm wandering zone. Test results show that lateral horizontal strains in both surface and intermediate courses are mostly compressive right under the loading path and tensile strains start to develop as the loading offset becomes 40 cm from the wheel path. The development of the vertical stresses in the top layers of subbase and anti-frost is found to be minimal once the loading offset becomes 50 cm.
