Autonomous vehicles can be exposed to severe danger when failure occurs in any of its components. For this reason many countries are making efforts on the legislative issue how to objectively evaluate failure safety of an autonomous vehicle when such a vehicle is commercially available to a customer in the near future. In level-3 automation, a driver must take over the control of his vehicle when failure occurs, and the driver's controllability must be secured for escape from the imminent danger. In this paper, quantitative methods have been developed for evaluating failure safety of the level-3 autonomous vehicle, and they were validated by simulation. And also, we confirmed that the proposed evaluation method can quantitatively evaluate the failure safety.

In the ongoing debates over the need to identify new sources of energy and to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Hydrogen has emerged as one of the most promising alternatives due to its emissions from the vehicle being virtually zero. The governments have identified the development of regulations and standards as one of the key requirements for commercialization of hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Regulations and standards will helpful in overcoming technological barriers to commercialization. Developments of a technique for safety assessment of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle(HFCV) includes four tasks, research for regulation system and policy, hydrogen safety, vehicle operation safety and protection against high-voltage. The objective is to establish a technique for safety assessment and amend safety standards for HFCV and consequently reflect research results to vehicle management policy. We devised safety standards and evaluation techniques with regard to high-pressure gas and high voltage of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Korean Motor Vehicle Safety Standards(KMVSS) for HFCV was amended to June 10, 2014. including the results of the safety assessment technology for high-voltage and hydrogen characteristics.

지구 온난화의 원인이 되는 이산화탄소를 저감하며 유해한 배기가스를 배출하지 않는 수소연료전지자동차(FCV)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한국가스안전공사에서 현재 구축하고 있는 평가장비는 이러한 수소연료전지자동차용으로 사용되는 고압용기의 수압반복시험 및 밸브류로 구성된 고압수소저장시스템의 단품 및 시스템 평가를 통한 안전신뢰성 검증을 목적으로 하고 있다. 현재 수소연료전지자동차는 차량이나 부품의 시험 방법에 대한 통일된 기준/표준/시험법이 아직 완전하게 정비되어 있지 않고, 시장에서의 도입 제도, 기준 등이 만들어지고 있는 현실이다. 또한 연료로 수소를 사용하는 도입단계에 있기 때문에, 수소용기가 반복압력변동에 따라 어떤 거동을 나타내는지에 대한 실험관련 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 따라서 수소연료전지자동차용 고압수소저장시스템에 대한 내구성, 안전성 확보를 위하여 수소연료전지자동차에서 중요한 부품인 용기에 대한 반복피로시험이 필요하다. 특히 복합재 용기 분야에서 Type3용기에 대한 높은 안전성과 내구성이 보고되고 있지만 실질적으로 얼마나 다른 용기에 비해 높은 성능을 가지고 있는지 국내에서는 체계적으로 검증된바 없다. 따라서 구축된 수압반복 장비를 이용하여 Type3 용기에 대한 수압반복시험을 실시하였으며, 이를 통해 수소용기의 거동을 확인하고자 한다.

According to the Korean Traffic Accident Analysis System (TAAS), more than 200,000 traffic accidents occur every year. Also, the statistics including auto insurance companies data show 1.3 million traffic accidents. In the case of TAAS, the types of traffic accidents are simply divided into four; frontal collision, side collision, rear collision, and rollover. However, more detailed information is needed to assess for advanced driver assist systems at intersections. For example, directional information is needed, such as whether the vehicle in the car accident way in a straight or a left turn, etc. This study intends to redefine the type of accident with the more clear driving direction and path by referring to the Negligence standards used in automobile insurance accidents. The standards largely divide five categories of car-to-car/motorcycle /pedestrian/cyclist, and highway, and the each category is classified into dozens of types by status of the traffic signal, conflict situations. In order to present more various accident types for auto insurance accidents, the standards are reclassified driving direction and path of vehicles from crash situations. In results, the car-to-car accidents are classified into 33 accident types, car-to-pedestrian accidents have 19 accident types, car-to-motorcycle accidents have 38 accident types, and car-to-cyclist accidents are derived into 26 types.

It is necessary to acquire information on traffic safety facilities installed on the roadways specifically for the operation of autonomous vehicles. The purpose of this study is to prepare a Korean version of an integrated message-set design as a way to provide to autonomous vehicles standardized information on traffic safety facilities. In this study, necessary facilities are classified according to four criteria (no legal basis; not providing information to autonomous vehicles; providing duplicate information; not standardized, and too difficult to generalize) based on information that must be provided to operate autonomous vehicles. The priority of information delivery (gross negligence followed by behavior change) was classified according to the importance of the information to be provided during autonomous driving, and the form was defined for the classification code in the information delivered. Finally, the information location and delivery method of traffic facilities for compliance with SAE J2735 were identified. This study is meaningful in that it provides a plan for roadway operations by suggesting a method for providing information to autonomously driven vehicles.

The objective of this study is to present the inspection standards of motorcycle lamps affecting motorcycle traffic accident in night time. The inspection standards of motorcycle lamps recommended by CITA International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee are surveyed. Also, the domestic safety standards of motorcycle and inspection standards of passenger car are considered. The inspection standard and method with principal reasons of rejections of head-lamp, number plate lamp, front-rear position lights, stop lamp and direction indicators of motorcycles are suggested.

경제발전과 더불어 교통수단으로 자동차의 이용률은 점차 높아져 가고 있으며, 통계에 의하면 1980년 9월말 기준 전국에 50만대가 운행되고 있다. 이상과 같이 많은 차량이 움직이면 빈번한 교통사고와 더불어 안전을 생각하지 않을 수 없다. 정부에서는 81년 4월 1일부터 고속도로상 에서 안전벨트를 착용하지 않으면 규제하도록 되어 있다. (내무부령으로 도로교통법에서 명시 되어 있음) 본고에서는 충돌시 자동차에 타고 있는 사람을 보호하고, 각국의 안전벨트법 현황과 착용효과, 안전벨트의 종류, 이상적인 요구성능을 검토하여 그 대책을 살펴보고자 한다.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport established safety standards for Level 3 autonomous vehicles for the first time in the world in December 2019, and specified the safety standards for conditional autonomous driving systems. Accordingly, it is necessary to analyze the influence of various driving environments on take-over. In this study, using a driving simulator, we investigated how traffic conditions and weather conditions affect take-over time and stabilization time. The experimental procedure was conducted in the order of preliminary training, practice driving, and test driving, and the test driving was conducted by dividing into a traffic density and geometry experiment and a weather environment experiment. As a result of the experiment, it was analyzed that the traffic volume and weather environment did not affect the take-over time and take-over stabilization time, and only the curve radius affects take-over stabilization time.
