Truck platooning, which is a cluster of trucks in support of vehicle-to-vehicle communication and automated longitudinal vehicle control, is a promising method to both operational efficiency and prevent traffic crashes. Although a variety of studies have been conducted to identify the effects of vehicle platooning on traffic stream, we are not aware of any study attempting to identify promising road segments for vehicle platooning. This study aims to develop a methodology for determining the priority of freeway segments that would potentially lead to maximize the effectiveness of truck platooning. Evaluation measures derived in this study includes truck crash rates, the percentage of truck traffic, segment length, and the number of entry and exit points. Weighting values obtained from an analytical hierarchical process (AHP) method were applied to compute the proposed priority score to determine better freeway segment for truck platooning. Results suggested that a 46.9km freeway segment, from Sacheon IC to Sanin JC, was the most promising segment for maximizing the effectiveness of truck platooning. It is expected that the outcome of this study would be effectively used as a fundamental to establish operational strategies for truck platooning.

최근 자동차 연구개발에 있어 내연기관을 대체하는 친환경 자동차기술과 더불어 무인자동차, 자율주행기술이 많은 부분에서 시도되고 실현되어가고 있다. 지능형 자동차라는 개념에서 적용되었던 운전자안전보조시스템, 편의지원과 사고경감 시스템 등이 하나로 통합되어 무인자동차 기술로 발전하고 있다. 또 차량에 고가의 센서를 장착하여 주변환경이나 운전자를 모니터링하는 방식에서 IT 융합기술을 이용한 네트워크기술 (V2I, V2V, V2N & V2X)을 접목시키는 방안을 통하여 개개의 차량은 물론 교통체계의 전체적인 변화를 추구하고 있다. 이러한 첨단차량기술은 새로운 교통문화(차량공유시스템, 군집주행)의 개발과 또다른 교통체계의 연구로 확장되어가고 있다.

영상 정보에 기반한 지능형 교통 정보 시스템(ITS)의 응용 분야에서, 차량의 그림자 제거와 겹침 차량을 분리하기 위하여 3차원 물체의 특징을 이용하며 차량 형상을 분리하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 차량을 분리하기 위하여 연속 프레임에서 배경을 수정하고, 배경 영상과 현재 입력 영상의 차이를 이용한다. 또한 그림자를 제거하고 겹침 차량을 분리하기 위하여, 1) 3차원 증거를 차량 증거 영역에서 검출하여 군집화하고, 2) 독립 차량의 중심 위치를 판단하고, 3) 다시 임계치에 의해 차량의 형상을 분리한다. 단순 임계치에 의해 차량을 분리하는 기법은 기상조건 등에 민감하기 때문에 여러 조건에 따라 다른 알고리즘을 적용해야 하지만 제안하는 기법은 동일한 알고리즘으로 여러 기상조건에 적응이 가능하다.

This paper is focused on verifying time-space repetition of the highway accident and finding the their causes and deterrents. We classify all months into several seasonal groups, develop the model for each seasonal group and analyze the results of these models for Joong-bu highway. The existence of seasonal effect is verified by the analysis or self-organizing map and the accident indices. Agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis which is used to decide the seasonal groups in accordance with accident patterns, winter group, spring-fall group. and summer group. The accident features of winter group are that the accident rate is high but the severity rate is low. while those of summer group are that the accident rate is low but the severity rate is high. Also, the regression model which is developed to identify the accident Pattern or each seasonal group represents that the season-related factors, such as the amount of rainfall, the amount of snowfall, days of rainfall, days of snowfall etc. are strongly related to the accident pattern of evert seasonal group and among these factors the traffic volume, amount of rainfall. the amount of snowfall and days of freezing importantly affect the local accident Pattern. So, seasonal effect should be considered to the identification of high-risk road section. the development of descriptive and Predictive accident model, the resource allocation model of accident in order to make safety management plan efficient.

Speech has a good characteristics of which car drivers busy to concern with miscellaneous operation can make use in convenient handling and manipulating of devices. By utilizing this, this works proposes a speaker verification method for protecting cars from being stolen and identifying a person trying to access critical on-line services. In this, continuant phonemes recognition which uses language information of speech and MLP(mult-layer perceptron) which has some advantages against previous stochastic methods are adopted. The recognition method, though, involves huge computation amount for learning, so it is somewhat difficult to adopt this in speaker verification application in which speakers should enroll themselves at real time. To relieve this problem, this works presents a solution that introduces speaker cohort models from speaker verification score normalization technique established before, dividing background speakers into small cohorts in advance. As a result, this enables computation burden to be reduced through classifying the enrolling speaker into one of those cohorts and going through enrollment for only that cohort.

Ahead of the commercialization of autonomous vehicles, it's application should be considered into the current transportation infrastructure. Under limited traffic circumstances, effective set of lane change rules alone could bring benefits to the autonomous driving system. In this study, a cooperative movement (local platooning) plan with limited vehicles associated as pocket driving, aiming at effective movement between vehicles in urban environment was proposed. Under congested roadway condition, the gaussian gap between vehicles was introduced to secure gap acceptance for safe lane change maneuver. Proposed lane change method showed 86.6% delay reduction along with traffic volume improvement. This result could be considered as a crucial factor in designing a next-generation roadway infrastructure with autonomous driving.

Autonomous driving technologies have been gradually improved for road traffic owing to the development of artificial intelligence. Since the truck platooning is beneficial in terms of the associated transporting expenses, the Connected-Automated Vehicle technology is rapidly evolving. The structural performance is, however, rarely investigated to capture the effect of truck platooning on civil infrastructures.In this study, the dynamic behavior of bridges under truck platooning was investigated, and the amplification factor of responses was estimated considering several parameters associated with the driving conditions. Artificial intelligence techniques were used to estimate the maximum response of the mid span of a bridge as the platooning vehicles passing, and the importance of the parameters was evaluated. The most suitable algorithm was selected by evaluating the consistency of the estimated displacement.
