The speed enforcement camera has been regarded as one of the most important safety countermeasures. Drivers decelerate in front of the speed enforcement camera and gain speed up after passing the camera. So there is a strong need to develop the method how to place the camera to overcome this problem. This study applied the concept of design consistency to the installation of the camera, so speed difference along the road sections should be controlled within the predetermined boundary. Specially, this study also regarded camera as the one of the elements of the road alignments which can change the speed of drivers abruptly, and suggested the way to put this concept into the selection of the placement of the camera.

The Korea ministry of land, infrastructure and transport set the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector by 34.3% relative to the business as usual scenario by 2020. In order to achieve this goal, support is being given to education and information regarding eco-driving. As a practical measure, however, a vehicle control strategy for decreasing fuel consumptions and emissions is necessary. Therefore, this paper presents an optimized driving model in order to decrease fuel consumption. Scenarios were established by driving mode. The speed profile for each scenario applied to Comprehensive Modal Emission Model and then each fuel consumption was estimated. Scenarios and speed variation with the least fuel consumption were derived by comparing the fuel consumptions of scenarios. The optimized driving model was developed by the derived the results. The speed profiles of general driver were collected by field test. The speed profile of the developed model and the speed profile of general driver were compared and then fuel consumptions for each speed profile were analyzed. The fuel consumptions for optimized driving were decreased by an average of 11.8%.

최근의 차량 연비는 엔진, 파워트레인 등 차량의 구성품들을 성능 개선하여 많이 향상 되었으나 연비 측정은 현재도 주어진 모드(LA-4, FTP-75 등)에서 컴퓨터 모의시험 및 다이나모에서 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 차량에 미리 장착된 지리정보데이터와 현재 주행하면서 수신되는 GPS 데이터를 이용하여 약 213Km 영동고속도로를 주행하면서 실제 도로의 연비 향상 방안을 도출한다. 지리정보데이터와 주행하면서 수신한 GPS 데이터 중에서 거리와 고도 데이터를 추출하여 각 구간의 경사도, 주행저항을 계산, 연비향상 알고리즘에 따른 속도 프로파일을 영동고속도로 전 구간에 대해서 완성하고 이 속도 프로파일로 컴퓨터를 이용한 AVL사의 CRUISE 프로그램으로 모의 주행하여 연비를 산출하고 연비 향상 방안을 제안한다.

A new procedure needs to be developed to predict the dynamic layer properties under moving truck loads. In this study, a computer code to evaluate layer moduli of asphalt concrete pavement from measured interior deflections at various depths were developed and verified from numerical model tests. Interior deflections of the pavement are measured from Multi-Depth Deflectometer(MDD). It was found that errors between the given and backcalculated moduli in numerical analysis were less than 0.32% for several numerical models tested. When impact loads were used, a technique to determine the depth to virtual rigid base was proposed through the analysis of compressive wave velocity and impulse loading durations. It was found that errors between the given and backcalculated moduli in numerical analysis were less than 0.114% when virtual rigid base was considered in numerical analysis. The pavement behavior must be evaluated under various vehicle speeds when determining the dynamic interaction between the loading vehicle and pavement system. To evaluate the dynamic behavior on asphalt concrete pavement under various vehicle speeds, truck moving tests were carried out. From the test results with respect to vehicle speed, it was found that the vehicle speed had significant effect on actual response of the pavement system. The lower vehicle speed generates the higher interior deflections, and the lower dynamic modulus.

본 논문에서는 강수량과 자동차 주행속도 등의 환경조건에 따라 와이퍼 속도를 일정하게 적용한 기존의 시스템을 개선하여 운전자의 개인 특성에 의해서도 속도 변경이 가능하게 함으로서 인간에게 조금 더 친밀감을 제공하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 초기 와이퍼 속도는 입력받은 강수량과 자동차 주행 속도로 추론하여 구하였다. 추론된 와이퍼 속도를 운전자의 개인 특성에 따라 변경하고자 할 경우, 해당 음성명령을 입력받아 재 추론하였다. 음성인식을 위해서는 고립단어 인식에 적절한 DTW방식을 사용하였고, 와이퍼 속도는 퍼지 추론을 적용하여 구하였다.

This study analyzed the running speed of logging trucks (25 tons), depending on the structural state of forest roads, on four main forest roads in the national forest management offices in Chuncheon and Hongcheon for trafficability. The speeds for the curved and straight sections were 7.6 km/h and 8.7 km/h, respectively, which were less than the designed speed (20 km/h). Thus, it would be necessary to improve the forest road's structure to fulfill minimum running speed. No significant difference was observed in the running speed by the longitudinal gradient up to 13%, while it was increased at more than 100 m by the distance in the straight section. By the facility's location in the curved section, the running speed was 6.2%-9.3% lower in a ridge than a valley. The running speed was lowest at the internal angles of <90° and at the curved radius of <15 m, respectively. When this radius was less than 15 m, the substandard sections for widening amounts were more than 50%; thus, sufficient widening was not achieved.

국내 지진관측망에 기록된 지진기록으로부터 관측한 PmP파의 주행시간을 이용하여 한반도 남부지역에서의 지각두께를 추정한다. 모호면으로부터 반사된 파형인 PmP파의 주행시간은 지각두께와 속도구조에 의존한다. 만약 실제 지각의 평균속도와 모델속도 사이의 차이가 작다고 가정하면, 계산한 주행시간과 실제 지진기록으로부터 관측한 주행시간의 상대적인 차이는 반사점에서 지각의 상대적인 두께차이에만 의존한다. 따라서 PmP파가 반사된 지점에서의 지각두께는 주행시간의 상대적인 차이가 표본추출간격보다 작은 값을 가질 때까지 지각두께를 변화시켜줌으로서 계산되어진다. 계산결과 한반도 남부지역에서의 지각두께는 지리산 부근 지역이 가장 두껍고 경상분지 지역이 가장 얇으며 호남지역은 중간 두께를 나타낸다.

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.

Road design guideline provides the directions on how to design a road alignment based on design speed, and this guideline has a design expectation in that design speed is supposed to be equal to the operating speed of drivers. Horizontal curve design is also based on design speed, and minimum radius is derived based on the drivers comfort while negotiating the curve. However, side friction reflecting drivers comfort is lower than a physical friction measured on wet road surface, therefore, it is reasonable to regard the criterion on minimum radius has a safety margin. Futhermore, the practical preference of choosing the larger radius than minimum leads to a noticeable gap between design speed and operating speed, so links to the violation of design expectation implicated in the guideline. In order to review this assumption, friction and operating speed at rural roads was measured and observed. As the results, a safety margin brought out by the gap between comfort-based friction and measured friction is qualitatively derived. Also, the gap between design speed and operating speed presumably caused by the safety margin and practical preference is analysed. By this, it is suggested that current design guideline should provides not only the minimum radius but also the management of road alignment design to minimize the gap between the design speed and operating speed.

This study was conducted to measure battery's voltage drop in a compact electric vehicle to get driving performance in various driving situations. In the experiment, to evaluate the energy consumption and milage, system performance have measured with changing of the driving speed and the reduction of driving distance when the heater was operating. The battery of the car in this study is lead type storage battery. The driving velocity was changed from 10km/h to 50 km/h with 20km/h intervals and the operating step of the heating device. As results, the electronic consumption rate was maximum at 35 km/h of vehicle speed and if the driver turning the heater at maximum, capacity will lead to 35% of energy consumption increment.
