This study develops the tire/pavement noise measuring trailer that can minimize the effect of various environmental noise and evaluate road noise characteristics without regard to time and spots. As literature reviews, it is examined into road noise characteristics and case studies of various CPX Trailer, and made a development plan of device. Based on these, HEART CPX Trailer is developed and conduct experiments for verification of the semi-anechoic chamber suitability, precision and field application of device. In the result of the experiment for verification of semi-anechoic chamber suitability, we can make sure that it is suitable and reliable among frequency bands. In the test of repetition measurement, we can verify excellent measurement accuracy among speeds and microphone's locations. In case of field tests using HEART CPX Trailer, it is founded that the result is similar to CPB test result carried out by Chung-Ang university in 2003. It can be concluded caused that the effect of environmental noise in and around the road including mechanical noise of a tow car was excluded. This paper confirmed and suggested that HEART CPX Trailer is suitable for evaluation of real road noise characteristics.

Recently, registrated passenger cars have increased and were close about seventy million at the end 2017 year in Korea. Among the passenger car using gasoline fuel make up forty six percentage of total registrated vehicles. In this study, investigation on real driving emission characteristics in the passenger car using gasoline fuel with various engine displacements were carried out. The real driving emission characteristics were measured and analyzed by using PEMS (Portable Emission Measurement System). PEMS was composed of gas analyzer, emission flow meter and sample conditioning system et al. Also, test six vehicles were selected to the gasoline passenger car with engine displacement from 1.6L to 3.7L. Two test routes with engine start of cold and hot conditions were applied to analyze the emission characteristics of RDE, respectively. The results show that the $CO_2$ emission have a increasing trend as the engine displacement and vehicle weight. Also, it is guessed that the $CO_2$ emission and vehicle weight were more correlated than the engine displacements. On the other hand, NOx emissions of RDE have not increasing or decreasing tendency according engine displacements or vehicle weight because the activation of three-way catalyst in the gasoline vehicles.

The temperature data were measured for two years in a bridge specimen and the bridge in service nearby in order to calculate the effective temperature for thermal loads in steel box girder bridge. The maximum and minimum effective temperatures were calculated in the bridge specimen and the bridge according to air temperature in 2014, 2015 and 2years. The effective temperatures calculated in this study were compared the Euro code and the Highway Bridge Design Criteria. The coefficients of determination in the maximum effective temperature and the Euro code for 2 year were calculated from R = 0.927, R = 0.894 in a bridge specimen and the bridge respectively. Those of minimum temperature and the Euro code were analyzed from R = 0.992, R = 0.813 in two bridge respectively. Also, the results were evaluated as being very similar, or slightly increased as compared with the maximum temperature of the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code(Limit State Design).

In this paper, we propose an approach to tracking road regions from video sequences. The proposed method segments and tracks road regions by utilizing the prior information from the result of the previous frame. For the efficiency of the system, we have a simple assumption that the road region is usually shown in the lower part of input images so that lower 60% of input images is set to the region of interest(ROI). After initial segmentation using flood-fill algorithm, we merge neighboring regions based on color similarity measure. The previous segmentation result, in which seed points for the successive frame are extracted, is used as prior information to segment the current frame. The similarity between the road region of the previous frame and that of the current frame is measured by the modified Jaccard coefficient. According to the similarity we refine and track the detected road regions. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method is effective to segment and track road regions in noisy and non-noisy environments.

LiDAR plays a key role in autonomous vehicles, and to improve its visibility, it is necessary to improve its performance and the detection objects. Accordingly, this study proposes a shape for traffic safety signs that is advantageous for self-driving vehicles to recognize. Improvement plans are also proposed using a shape-recognition algorithm based on point cloud data collected through LiDAR sensors. For the experiment, a DBSCAN-based road-sign recognition and classification algorithm, which is commonly used in point cloud research, was developed, and a 32ch LiDAR was used in an actual road environment to conduct recognition performance tests for 5 types of road signs. As a result of the study, it was possible to detect a smaller number of point clouds with a regular triangle or rectangular shape that has vertical asymmetry than a square or circle. The results showed a high classification accuracy of 83% or more. In addition, when the size of the square mark was enlarged by 1.5 times, it was possible to classify it as a square despite an increase in the measurement distance. These results are expected to be used to improve dedicated roads and traffic safety facilities for sensors in the future autonomous driving era and to develop new facilities.

V2X 차량 안전 시스템은 ITS 환경에서 주행하는 모든 차량들이 V2V 혹은 V2I 기반의 협력통신을 통해 안전 서비스를 제공하는 기술이다. 이는 실제 도로환경에서의 실험, 즉 Field Operational Tests(FOTs)를 통한 검증과 평가 수행이 요구된다. 그러나, 일반적으로 실 도로환경에서 시스템 및 서비스에 대한 검증과 평가는 많은 시간과 비용을 필요로 한다. 따라서 실제 도로 주행 테스트 전에 V2X 안전 서비스의 기본적인 성능을 검증할 V2X 시뮬레이션 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국외의 V2X 시뮬레이터 기술 개발 동향과 함께 차량 간 통신 시뮬레이션 분야에서 연구되고 있는 주요 이슈들을 알아보고 이를 극복하기 위한 연구 방호별 제시한다.

자동차용 풍동은 대부분 난류강도를 최대한 낮게 하여 시험의 재현성과 반복성을 극대화하도록 하였다. 그러나 최근 들어 뚜렷한 두 가지 흐름이 일고 있는데 지면재현과 실도로에서 경험하는 난류 강도를 풍동에서 재현하고자 하는 움직임이다. 이 글에서는 이러한 움직임의 이유와 방향에 대해 짚어보고자 한다.

Greenhouse gas is the big issue of the whole world. So foreign countries, EU, USA, Japan, China and Korea made the policy for reducing greenhouse gas. For calculation of reduction, it is necessary to know the quantity of current greenhouse emission per year in Korea. It is not reflected real driving condition for measuring the Fuel economy and greenhouse gas. The subject of this study is to figure out the characteristics which influence on greenhouse gas in real driving condition. And final goal is applying the policy greenhouse emission reduction.

The durability prediction of emission control components, especially 02 sensor and catalytic converter, is getting more important as emission regulation is getting stricter and vehicle durability mileage requirement is also extended from 80,000 ㎞ to 160,000 km in Korean market. And the duration of vehicle mileage accumulation to get vehicle exhaust emission deterioration factor for certification is required to be shorter in order to reduce the vehicle development time. Since most of the vehicle emission development tests are done on chassis dynamometer and aging bench by using vehicle aging modes, real road condition and in-use driving patterns must be reflected into them to predict the vehicle emission level and to meet emission regulation especially at high mileage. In order to get the frequent driving pattern of vehicle and the aging characteristic of emission components, a vehicle was tested by changing drivers and driving roads around Seoul. Real road driving patterns were analyzed and compared with those of the certification modes which are well known in automotive industry.
