In this study, a new dynamic interaction analysis method for tilting trains and curved track is presented. Three dimensional lumped parameter vehicle elements are used to model tilting train, and the proposed analysis technique can simulate driving direction change of vehicle, the effect of track cant, wheel-rail contact angle, and tilting angle of tilting trains, etc. The proposed method passed several basic verification tests, and it is expected that the suggested method is applicable for practical problems.

Unlike ground roads, the on-ramp merging section of underground roads cannot be seen by drivers of main road due to tunnels. In this study, a driving simulator was used for analysis, and virtual driving experiments were carried out to assess the driver's visibility for different design factors. The driver's driving behavior was analyzed by setting scenarios considering the length of chevron markings and the approach speed from the main road. The results of the analysis were used to determine the design factors for ensuring visibility when constructing the virtual driving environment for each scenario. These factors, including speed, lane change points, and driver's gaze ratios, were reviewed for significance using a statistical approach. As a result, in scenarios with a higher approach speed from the main road, it was discovered that there was a difference in driver's behavior between specific scenarios depending on the length of the section with chevron markings. Based on these findings, this study suggests implications and feasible solutions to improve driver safety on the on-ramp merging section of underground roads.

This paper proposes an accelerated life evaluation of drive shaft for the power train parts of special purpose vehicle. It is necessary the real load data of usage level driving load condition for life evaluation of power train parts, but we can't get the load spectrum data for evaluation in many case of special purpose vehicle. So, in this paper, the road load spectrum data for evaluation is created by modeling and simulation based on vehicle data and special road condition. The inverse power model is used for accelerated life test. The equivalent torque of load spectrum is achieved using the Miner's Rule. This paper also proposes the calibrated acceleration life test method for drive shaft. The fatigue test is performed through three stress levels. The lifetime at normal stress level is predicted by extrapolation, and is verified through comparison of experimental results and load spectrum data.

This paper presents the development and validation of a wheel loader simulation model. The objective of doing so is to evaluate the performance of the wheel loader and improve its overall performance using Matlab/Simulink. The wheel loader simulation model consists of 4 parts: mechanical/hydraulic powertrain model and vehicle/working dynamic model. An integrated simulation model is required to evaluate and improve the performance of the wheel loader. It is expected that this model will be applied to fuel economizing, improving the pace of operation by using the hybrid system, and the intelligent wheel loader. The performance of the proposed simulation model has been validated by using Matlab/Simulink to compare the driving and the working experimental data.

This paper presents a lightweight milli-scale crawling robot that can crawl on both sides, which was inspired by the movement of insects. This robot has an excellent ability to overcome obstacles, such as the narrow gaps and the rough terrain. In addition, the robot can crawl steadily and rapidly through triangular alternation, such as ants or cockroaches. The process of smart composite microstructures (SCM) was employed to make a lightweight robot structure. The SCM process replaced the conventional mechanical parts with flexure joints and composite links, which allows the weight of the robot to be reduced. In addition, the robot structure was robust against external impacts owing to the compliance of the constituent materials. Using the SCM process, the robot weighed only 32g with twelve legs in total on both sides. The robot showed a crawling speed of 0.52m/s on the front side and 0.42m/s on the backside.

The objective of this study is to derive the appropriate perception location for changes in driving behavior of autonomous vehicles in urban road environments based on traffic safety signs. For this purpose, 32 types of signs that induce changes in driving behavior were selected from currently used traffic safety signs and classified as three types according to changes in driving behavior. Based on this, three scenarios were designed: stop, speed change, and lane change scenarios. These were used to confirm the impact on traffic flow. As a result of the analysis, it was found that each scenario needs to receive information on traffic safety signs in advance to ensure changes in traffic flow and safety. Consequently, the appropriate perception location can be used as a basis for establishing standards for delivering message sets to autonomous vehicles or revising traffic safety signs for them. In addition, this study is expected to contribute to the establishment of safe and efficient driving strategies on urban roads as autonomous vehicles are introduced in the future.

본 논문에서는 안정성 높은 미로탐색로봇의 제작을 위해 EPLD를 이용하여 회로부의 간략화를 꾀한 후 PCB 작업을 하여 하드웨어 시스템을 구성하였고 주행기법을 개선하여 주행 알고리즘을 강화하였다. 미로탐색로봇의 제작 및 주행 실험 결과 미로탐색로봇에서 주행기간의 단축은 최고속도가 아니라 가속과 감속방법에 달려 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이를 바탕으로 속도 테이블의 구성과 테이블 운영방법을 연구하여 기존의 주행 알고리즘을 강화할 수 있었다.

현재 우리나라에서 자동차 배출량 평가에 이용되는 주행거리를 산출하는 방법으로는 환경부에서 이용하고 있는 등록대수 및 일 평균주행거리에 기초한 방법과 통행량을 고려하는 방법(한국에너지기술연구원, 2001)이 있다. 자동차 주행거리의 지역 분포는 배출량의 공간분포와 직접적으로 연결되어 있음에도 불구하고 이 방법들에 대한 적절한 검토 없이 배출량 산출에 이용하고 있어서 이에 대한 연구가 시급하다. 이러한 배경 하에 이 연구에서는 자동차 주행거리 평가에 이용되는 두 방법을 비교하여 향후 신뢰성 있는 주행거리 평가방법 개발의 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

모빌리티 기술이 발전함에 따라 기존 차량에서 선보이지 못했던 다양한 주행기술이 가능해졌고, 이에 따라 많은 장점을 지닌 모빌리티 기술들이 등장하고 있다. 4 륜 독립 구동, 제동, 조향 시스템은 바퀴 별 독립 제어가 가능하여 여러 주행 모드를 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 4 륜 독립 구동, 제동과 독립 조향이 가능한 모빌리티 플랫폼에 대해 평행 주행, 제자리 회전, 축 회전 주행 등을 구현하는 방안과, 더 나아가 각도 속도를 일정하게 유지함으로써 오차를 최소화하는 제어 방법에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.
