Recently, the interest in the safety of autonomous vehicles has globally been increasing. Also, there is controversy over the reliability and safety about autonomous vehicle. In Korea, the K-City which is a test-bed for testing autonomous vehicles has been constructing. There is a need for test scenarios for autonomous vehicle test in terms of safety. The purpose of this study is to develop the evaluation scenario for autonomous vehicle at community roads in K-City by using crash data collected by the Korea National Police Agency and a text-mining technique. As a result, 24 scenarios were developed in order to test autonomous vehicle in community roads. Finally, the logical and concrete scenario forms were derived based on the Pegasus 5-layer format.

Convoy driving is one of the technologies of multi-vehicle cooperation driving along with platoon driving. All over the world, research on vehicle control mechanisms to maintain vehicle formation during convoy driving convoy driving has been actively conducted and in Europe's Autonet 2030 project has developed and demonstrated convoy driving services for highways. But, even the concept of convoy driving is still insufficient in Korea. Therefore, in this study, the concept of convoy driving service was established and scenarios and communication messages for service application on urban roads were developed. And its effectiveness was verified through simulation analysis. As a result of comparing and analyzing individual vehicle cooperative driving and convoy driving for the blind spot support service and dilemma zone safety support service, which are representative V2I cooperative driving services on urban roads, the number of conflicts(indicator of traffic safety) and delays and stops(indicator of traffic efficiency) are significantly improved in convoy driving compared to individual vehicle cooperative driving.

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.

This study conducted over two rounds Delphi survey targeting experts in the fields of roads, transportation, automobiles, intelligent transport systems(ITS), and communications to analyze the direction of change in road design, operation, and systems in the Lv.4/4+ autonomous driving era. To construct the Delphi survey items, a basic survey was conducted. The first and second Delphi surveys targeted experts in fields closely related to autonomous driving. The results of the survey revealed an expectation that in the future, transportation operations would change focus to shared autonomous vehicle(AV) and public transportation transfers, and there would be corresponding changes in the cross-sectional configuration. Exclusive lanes for AV are expected to be introduced commencing from highways and general national roads, and there was a consensus that they should be installed in the center of the road rather than on the sides and would use the same lane width as that of the existing road. In terms of facilities for AVs, it was found that it would be necessary to expand pedestrian-vehicle separation facilities, insert communication chips into facilities for location recognition, advance precision maps, and expand roadside communication facilities.

The ability of an automated driving system is based on vehicle sensors, judgment and control algorithms, etc. The safety of automated driving system is highly related to the operational status of the road network and compliant road infrastructure. The safe operation of automated driving necessitates continuous monitoring to determine if the road and traffic conditions are suitable and safe. This paper presents a node and link system to build a road monitoring system by considering the ODD(Operational Design Domain) characteristics. Considering scalability, the design is based on the existing ITS standard node-link system, and a method for expressing the monitoring target as a node and a link is presented. We further present a technique to classify and manage hazard risk into five levels, and a method to utilize node and link information when searching for and controlling the optimal route. Furthermore, we introduce an example of system implementation based on the proposed node and link system for Sejong City.

After the 3rd level autonomous driving vehicle, the 4th and 5th level of autonomous driving technology is trying to maintain the optimal condition of the passengers as well as the perfect driving of the vehicle. However current autonomous driving technology is too dependent on visual information such as LiDAR and front camera, so it is difficult to fully autonomously drive on roads other than designated roads. Therefore this paper proposes a Braking Strength Calculation System (BSCS), in which a vehicle classifies road conditions using data other than visual information and calculates optimal braking strength according to road conditions and driving conditions. The BSCS consists of RCDM (Road Condition Definition Module), which classifies road conditions based on KNN algorithm, and BSCM (Braking Strength Calculation Module), which calculates optimal braking strength while driving based on current driving conditions and road conditions. As a result of the experiment in this paper, it was possible to find the most suitable number of Ks for the KNN algorithm, and it was proved that the RCDM proposed in this paper is more accurate than the unsupervised K-means algorithm. By using not only visual information but also vibration data applied to the suspension, the BSCS of the paper can make the braking of autonomous vehicles smoother in various environments where visual information is limited.

4차 산업혁명으로 자율화·지능화됨에 따라 육·해상의 교통수단에 ICT 기술을 활용한 자율운행차 자율운항선박 등 신기술 및 서비스 개발이 점차 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해상분야의 자율운항선박 자율주행에 필요한 기술 도출을 위한 방법으로 육상분야의 자율주행차량의 핵심기술인 센서기술과 AI기술에 대해 알아보고 비교 분석하고자 한다. 자율주행차 주행을 위한 기술개발은 센서와 정밀도로정보(지도) 2트랙으로 개발이 진행되고 있으나, 최근 센서 오류 등으로 인한 사고발생이 잦아 정밀도로정보(지도) 중요성이 증가하고 있어 정밀도로 정보 구축을 서두르고 있다. 반면 자율운항선박의 경우 충돌회피 기술, 최적항로 개발, 정보보안 등 기술개발이 이루어지고 있으나 AI용 수로정보에 한 대비는 진행되고 있지 않고 있다. 따라서, 자율운항선박의 안전한 자율주행을 위한 방법으로 AI 알고리즘 연산과정에서 기계적으로 이용 가능하고 목적에 적합한 수로정보 구축이 필요하며 우리나라 선박의 안전운항을 위해 국가차원에서 수로정보 수집 및 생산을 담당해야 하므로 국가에서 주도하에 연구개발이 진행되어야 할 것이다.

An HD map is essential in the automated driving of level 4 and above to generate the vehicle's global path since it contains road information and each road's lane information. Therefore, all the road elements in the HD map must be correctly defined to construct the correct road network necessary to generate the global path. But unfortunately, it is not difficult to find various errors even in the most recent HD maps. Hence, a preprocessing algorithm has been developed to detect and correct errors in the HD map. This error detection and correction result in constructing the correct road network for use in global path planning. Furthermore, the algorithm was tested on real roads' HD maps, demonstrating its validity.

The road should be designed in the consistent alignment which the driver can drive safely. Also, proper highway environments in order to maintain optimal operational speeds on highway sections should be provided In design stage, for highway environments, it is essential for an operational speed estimation model to different highway environments. If a method which could evaluate the status of the road safety is developed through this operational speed estimation model, it is possible to provide safe and more comfortable highways to road users. In the study factors to effect on operational speeds are classified into three groups horizontal & vertical alignments and traffic operation characteristic factors. Factors are chosen to effect on operational speeds by using collation analysis as classifications of tangent sections, horizontal curve sections and vertical curve sections. In order to develop operational speed estimation models in express highways, multi-regression analysis has been used in this study using the selected factors. This study has meaning that the developed estimation models for operational speeds and evaluation of degree of safety to horizontal and vortical alignments simultaneous. In order to represent whole area of the country with the developed models, the models should be re-analyzed with vast data related with road alignment factors in the near future.
