The performance of the speech recognition engine is one of the most critical elements of the in-vehicle speech recognition interface. The objective of this paper is to develop an automated platform for running performance tests on the in-vehicle speech recognition engine. The developed platform comprise of main program, agent program, database management module, and statistical analysis module. A simulation environment for performance tests which mimics the real driving situations was constructed, and it was tested by applying pre-recorded driving noises and a speaker's voice as inputs. As a result, the validity of the results from the speech recognition tests was proved. The users will be able to perform the performance tests for the in-vehicle speech recognition engine effectively through the proposed platform.

정상 주행 중에 핸들을 급조향하여 요-마크가 생성되면서 일어난 사고들은 핸들 급조향의 원인을 파악해야 대책 수립이 가능하다. 즉 이들 사고의 속도산정과 차량의 운동과정 및 요-마크 생성 이전의 급 조향 당시 위험 요소를 분석해야 대책에 연결될 수 있으나, 아직 정확한 원인규명이 어려운 실정에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정상 주행중 핸들을 급조향하는 실험을 통하여 요-마크 생성초기 형상의 특성과 선회과정 및 속도 등을 분석하여 교통사고의 원인에 관하여 고찰하였다.

전자교통신호등은 차량이 교차로에 많을 때에는 교통신호주기를 연장할 수 있고, 교차로에 차량이 적을 경우에는 교통신호주기를 단축할 수 있다. 그러나, 요즈음과 같이 교통체증이 많아서 평균주행속도가 10Km-20Km일 때에는 전자신호등의 기능을 수행할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지 규칙을 이용하여 최단경로검색 및 최적 녹색시간 알고리즘을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험결과 앞 막힘 현상이 발생하는 경우에는 평균 승용차 대기시간 및 평균주행속도를 10%-32% 가량 개선시킬 수 있음을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 무인 주행 저속 전기 자동차 시스템 개발을 위한 적외선 LED 라인트레이서를 제작하였다. 햇빛에 의한 영향을 제거하기 위해 적외선 LED를 펄스(pulse)로 구동시켰으며 흰색선에서 반사된 적외선 신호를 photodiode를 이용하여 감지하였다. 감지된 신호는 증폭단과 Peak Detector를 거쳐 최종적으로 AVR MCU로 입력이 된 후 여러 상황에 따른 차량의 방향을 결정할 수 있도록 알고리즘를 통해 처리하였다. 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제작한 라이트레이서 모듈이 원하는 방향으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

This paper reports a programming toolkit for implementing localization and navigation of a mobile robot both in real world and simulation. Many of the previous function libraries are difficult to use because of their complexity or lack of usability. The proposed toolkit consist of functions for dead reckoning, motion model, measurement model, and operations on directions or heading angles. The dead reckoning and motion model deals with differential drive robot and bicycle type robot driven by front wheel or rear wheel. The functions can be used for navigation in both real environment and simulation. To prove the feasibility of the toolkit, simulation results are shown along with the results in real environment. It is expected the proposed toolkit is used for test of algorithms for mobile robot navigation such as localization, map building, and obstacle avoidance.

This paper analyzes the characteristics of drivers' workload observed from with 30 participant drivers with respect to two physio-physiological parameters. For investigating physio-physiological characteristics of road drivers, bio-signals from brain's occipital lobe between simulation experiment and real driving experiment are collected and analyzed. The major findings from the analysis are summarized as follows: First, the drivers' physio-physiological workload is a good parameter for explaining the workload characteristics of road drivers. Secondly, the two physio-physiological workload parameters selected, i.e., beta value and relative energy parameter, are revealed to be statistically significant. Thirdly, it is also revealed to be statistically significant to select 90 percentile measurements in simulator experiment to explain the road drivers' characteristics. Finally, the maximum workload of road design driver is 31.72 in beta parameter, whereas the minimum workload is 1.296 in relative energy parameter.

In this study, lane-wise traffic flow characteristics were analysed on uninterrupted flow using a new notion of "lane-wise travel speed reversal (LTSR)" which is defined as a phenomena that travel speed in the median lane is lower than other lanes. Mathematical formulation was also proposed to calculate the strength of LTSR. The experiment road site is Seoul Outer Ring Expressway (Jayuro-IC~Jangsoo-IC), and travel trajectories for each four lane were collected for weekdays (Mon. through Fri.) during morning peak. Comparing lane-wise travel speeds for entire test road section, no LTSR was observed, meaning that the travel speed in the median lane is the fastest, followed by 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lane as in order. Howerver, the result of microscopic analysis using 100-meter discrete road section based data shows that LTSR occurs many times. Especially the strength of LTSR is higher in congestion area and freeway merge and diverge segment. It is expected that these results could be used as a fundamental data when establishing lane-by-lane traffic operation strategy and developing lane-wise traffic information collection and dissemination technology.
