Emerged in early 1990s, so called 'Quick service' industry that provides faster delivery of small parcels than regular mail service accelerated use of motorcycles. As the economic grows, use of large bicycles (more than 250CC displacement) for leisure purpose has also rapidly increased. Traffic crash data clearly shows the increasing trend in motorcycle crashes. The ratio of motorcycle involved crashes out of total has increased from 5.7% in 2005 to 8.3% in 2008, and similar trend can be found in fatalities ratio as well. In this study, we assess the level of risk when motorcycles operate on motorways by analyzing traffic rule violation ratio, lane change behaviour, driving speed behaviors of motorcycles in Uninterrupted Traffic Flow Facilities and using PC-CRASH simulation we also calculate car shock impulses occurred when an accident happens. Analysis result shows that the motorcycle is different from the car in terms of lane change timing and average speed, and also shows motorcycle drivers tends to conduct more improper driving behavior particularly when traffic is congested. The results from this study could be usefully applied when the law enforcement agent decides whether bicycles shall be allowed to use motorways. The result could be also utilized as fundamental information for further study of bicycles' driving behavior.

This paper use virtual running after possible traffic capacity application for optimal route location. General road is designed the design after we examine an alternate adequacy investigation and an execution design sufficiently. Various road user's requirement must be reflected from the beginning. But it is difficult to contain the various suitable design criteria because we consider the existing 2-dimension element. First of all, this study chose optimal route, used traffic assignment and 3D simulation. Then selected optimal route through the consistent road construction by analyzing road driving simulation of 3-dimension data and the urban landscape. possible traffic capacity and virtual running will be able to do the urban landscape analysis harmonizing with the environment; equally, it could be objectively solve the problem of a civil appeal.

Kyeonggi Provincial Government is considering double decker bus service to solve the problem of heavy rush hour traffic. However, the height-to-width ratio is more than 1.16 times larger than that of a general high-speed single decker bus, and the center of gravity is higher. This could cause driving stability problems, such as turnover and breakaway from the lane, especially under strong side-wind conditions at high speed. In this numerical study, the driving characteristics of a model double decker bus were reviewed under side-wind and superelevation conditions at high driving speed. The rolling, pitching, and yawing moment of the model bus were calculated with CFD numerical simulation, and the results were compared to the recovery angular moments of the model bus to evaluate the dynamic stability under given driving conditions. As the model vehicle moves on a straight level road, it is stable under any side-wind conditions. However, on a curved road under side-wind conditions, it could reach unstable conditions dynamically. There is a chance that the bus will turn over when it moves on a curved road with a radius of gyration less than 100 m under side-wind (15 m/s). However, there is a very small chance of breakaway from the lane under any driving conditions.

최근 자동차 산업과 IT 기술의 융합이 활발해지면서 스마트카, 자율주행 자동차(무인 자동차)와 같은 지능형 자동차 개발이 활발히 진행되고 지능형 자동차의 비전 기반 기술개발도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 고속도로와 같이 포장된 도로나 자갈길과 같은 비포장 도로에서도 운전자의 승차감을 고려한 능동적 안전시스템과 안정적인 자율주행 자동차의 주행능력을 보장하는 기술들 중 도로 유형을 판단하는 것이 중요 요소 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가중치 기반 클러스터링 기술을 이용하여 도로표면 유형을 분류하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 아스팔트, 자갈길, 흙길, 눈길의 도로표면 영상 데이터를 히스토그램의 분포도와 최고점 위치, 에지 영상의 에지량, 채도성분을 이용하여 특징값을 추출하고 클러스터를 구성한다. 분류할 입력 도로표면 영상에 대해 특징값을 분석한 후 탐색범위 내 선택된 각 클러스터의 벡터와의 거리를 측정하여 가중치를 계산하고 가중치가 높은 클러스터를 분류하여 입력 영상에 대한 도로표면을 결정한다. 실험결과 제안하는 방법이 각 도로표면 영상의 특징값과 이를 이용한 가중치만을 이용하여 약 91.25%의 정확도로 도로의 표면을 분류해 내는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Considering the need for an infrastructure-level review, this study analyzed the impact of truck platooning on freeway traffic flow and the effect of dedicated lanes based on domestic road and traffic conditions. According to the study, the higher traffic volume and truck ratio, the higher ratio of platoons and the greater size of platoons are formed, which results in greater effect of increasing the average speed of the network. Therefore, the routes with heavy traffic and heavy cargo traffic could be positively considered for truck platooning. However, the analysis showed that the effect of increasing the average speed of the entire network is difficult to expect in the event of a queue due to entry and exit, and that the overall network's throughput could be reduced. Therefore, traffic operation strategies associated with the access road, such as securing capacity of the connection, are needed to maximize the effect of truck platooning. When it comes to the effect of dedicated lane, it could have a positive effect only if one lane was fully operated by automated trucks under the condition of 100% MPR, which allowed positive effects in all aspects, such as higher average speed, throughput, and reduced conflict rates.

과적차량은 도로 및 교량 구조물과 도로 횡단 시설물 등에 손상요인으로 작용하며 기존의 단속 시스템은 축조작 및 인력부족등 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있어서 이에 대한 대처방안이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주행중인 과적차량의 지능형 임베디드 단속 시스템 개발을 위하여 유전자 알고리즘 기법을 적용, 도로자체를 저울로 하여 주행중인 차량의 하중 및 주행정보를 분석을 연구하였으며 이를 통하여 효율적인 과적 단속이 이루어 질 수 있다고 판단된다. 또한 USN구성을 위한 임베디드 센서와 함께 Internal/External Network의 무선화 시스템을 통한 사용자 중심의 시스템을 구축하는 것이 최종 목적이므로 향후 WCDMA/HSDPA를 이용한 External Network의 구성과 실제 과적 단속 적용을 위하여 Test Bed를 통한 실험이 실시되어야 할 것이다.

차량 인터넷은 목적지까지 스스로 주행하는 자율 주행 자동차의 최적 경로 설정을 도와주는 차세대 네트워크이다. 자율 주행 자동차의 원활한 자율 주행을 위해서는 도로 위 객체 인지뿐만 아니라 실시간 교통 정보가 수신되어야 한다. 공격자는 자동차로 전달되는 메시지를 탈취하여 내용을 변경하거나 메시지를 제거하는 중간자 공격을 시도할 수 있다. 중간자 공격을 탐지하기 위해 MARINE 기법이 제안되었지만, 주행하는 자동차가 적은 환경에서 중간자 공격을 탐지하기 어렵다. 제안 방법은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 교통 정보 센터에 축적된 교통 정보를 이용하여 자동차에 전달되는 메시지를 분석하고 중간자 공격을 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다.

When the drivers try to read an information on road signs, they can reach their destinations successfully. In this situation, human factors, road signs and geometric condition regarded as the most important factors for a safe driving should be a well-balanced relationship mutually. This research aims to prove the factors obstructing a safe driving, while drivers try to read an information on road signs for the next destination. For this sake, driving simulator was used and human factors, road signs etc. were considered in this experiment. The statistical analysis indicated what factors disturb a safe driving. The probability function using a Logistic Model was presented in this study. This result and experience will be used as a basic data in designing better road signs.

This paper attempts to evaluate driving stability by the vibration of human body. The purpose of this research is to establish an evaluation methodology for controling the quality of road surface. The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between road surface profiles (IRI, International Roughness Index) and the fatigue caused by the vibration of human body. Furthermore, 3-axis acceleration in driving vehicles was examined based on sampling sections under various road conditions. The acceleration value of frequency bands were analyzed by the characteristics of road surface, and realized the range of human influence by conditions and type of road surface with ISO-2631 standards. In general, more human fatigue by vehicle vibration was appeared in concrete pavements with high IRIs based on the analysis from given test data. Whereas, The SMA asphalt pavement and the diamond grinded concrete pavement reduce the human fatigue.
