To improve the performance of self-driving cars, the introduction of V2X, a communication technology that connects vehicles, infrastructure, and vehicles, is essential. Even if traffic information of the other vehicle is known, the structure of the intersection and a distance calculation algorithm are required for accurate calculations at roundabouts. This paper proposes a design algorithm for a rotating intersection and implemented in Matlab that complies with the national design rules and enables accurate calculations. Assuming the roundabout and the entrance/exit path to be a circle, a method for measuring the distance between vehicles at an arbitrary point was proposed using the horizontal shift of the entrance circle to the main circle. The algorithm could be used in fully autonomous vehicles by designing a roundabout suitable for the terrain by arbitrarily varying the angle between branches and the radius of curvature of the entrance and exit roads, and transmitting a warning signal when a collision between two driving vehicles is expected.

A mathematical model of responsibility-sensitive safety (RSS) has been proposed as a way to determine whether an autonomous driving accident has occurred. Autonomous vehicles related industry and academia have shown great interest in this model. However, this mathematical model lacks a comprehensive review on whether the model can be used to clarify responsibilities of autonomous vehicles in the event of a traffic accident. In this study, we analyzed the issues that need to be solved in order to apply the RSS model. In conclusion, there is a limit in the equation and the social acceptability of the RSS model. To use the RSS model practically, it is necessary to define the response time of the autonomous vehicle and to measure and control the reaction time value according to the appropriate technology level for each autonomous vehicle.

적응순항제어시스템은 선행차량과의 거리와 속도를 자동적으로 안전하게 유지하여 운전의 안전성과 편의성을 향상시키는 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 적응순항제어시스템의 안전성을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 적응순항제어시스템의 작동 상태 및 주변 차량 정보를 운전자에게 제공해 주기 위한 시각 및 음성정보 전달장치를 설계 및 제작하였다. 시각정보 전달장치를 통해 선행차량과의 차간거리, 속도, 가감속 상태 등을 운전자에게 전달하였고, 음성정보 전달장치를 이용하여 선행차량과의 근접거리 경보 등의 메시지를 전달하도록 하였다. 이러한 조건에서 운전자가 적응순항제어시스템을 사용하여 운전하는 경우, 시각 및 음성정보 전달장치의 유무에 따른 차량 조작과 차량 운전 성향 및 특성의 변화를 살펴봄으로써 정보전달장치를 통한 안전성 향상에 관한 영향을 연구하였다. 연구 결과, 운전자에게 정보 전달장치를 통해 정보가 제공되었을 경우, 운전자는 차량의 운전 및 적응순항제어시스템 사용에 있어 편안함을 느낄 수 있었고, 선행차량과의 차간거리를 보다 넓게 설정하여 주행 안전성을 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 정보전달장치를 통한 정보 수집이 차량 운행에 저해 요인으로 작용하지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 정보전달장치를 통한 정보전달은 운전자에게 적응순항제어시스템에 대한 편의성 및 효율성, 안전성을 더욱 향상 시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper described the estimation methods of CO2 emission of vehicles. The important of energy and environment has emerged in the world, and the field of vehicle's development as well. CO2 was particularly the object of emission-regulation that caused of global warming. There are performance comparison methods by driving mileage, International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and chemical equation for the combustion of Octane. We took the measurement by getting data through OBD-II port from vehicle covered 5 km on road. We got the diagnosis information, specific mileage and fuel consumption in this experiment. We are able to expect similar CO2 emission by the methods in the normal speed driving. Also, we can make more realistic approach of CO2 emission by the method of estimation by IPCC and chemical equation for the combustion of Octane in rapid acceleration driving.

In this paper, we propose the method and system which determines the condition for safe and unsafe lane changing. To determine the condition, first, the system sets up the Region of Interest(ROI) on the neighboring lane. Second, a dangerous vehicle is extracted during the line changing. Third, the condition is determined to wm or not by calculating the moving direction, relative distance md relative velocity. To set up the ROI, the only one side lane is detected and the interested region is expanded. Using the coordinate transformation method, the accuracy of the ROI raised. To correctly extract the vehicle on the neighboring lane, the Adaptive Background Update method and Image Segmentation method which uses the feature of the travelling road are used. The object which is extracted by the dangerous vehicle is calculated the relative distance, the relative velocity and the moving average. And then in order to ring, the direction of the vehicle and the condition for safe and unsafe is determined. As minimizes the interested region and uses the feature of the travelling road, the computational quantity is reduced and the accuracy is raised and a stable result on a travelling road images which demands a high speed calculation is showed.

가격 경쟁력, 정밀도 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있는 UWB 레이더를 자율 주행 자동차의 보행자 충돌회피 등에 응용할 수 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 레이더와 타겟까지의 거리를 측정하고 타겟이 차량인지 보행자인지를 구분하는 기초실험을 수행하였다. 타겟까지의 거리 측정은 송신파와 수신파 사이의 correlation을 구하여 측정하였고, 차량과 보행자의 구분은 타겟의 종류에 따라 UWB 레이더 반사파의 특성이 다른 것을 이용하였다. 제안하는 방안의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 Monostatic UWB RADAR를 이용하여 차량과 보행자에 관한 반사 특성을 측정하여 실험하였고 차량, 보행자 구분 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a forward vehicle movement estimation algorithm for the image-based forward collision warning. The road region in the acquired image is designated as a region of interest (ROI) and a distance look up table (LUT) is made in advance. The distance LUT shows horizontal and vertical real distances from a reference pixel as a test vehicle position to any pixel as a position of a vehicle on the ROI. The proposed algorithm detects vehicles in the ROI, assigns labels to them, and saves their distance information using the distance LUT. And then the proposed algorithm estimates the vehicle movements such as approach distance, side-approaching and front-approaching velocities using distance changes between frames. In forward vehicle movement estimation test using road driving videos, the proposed algorithm makes the valid estimation of average 98.7%, 95.9%, 94.3% in the vehicle movements, respectively.

This paper proposes a system that performs object detection and distance estimation for application to autonomous vehicles. Object detection is performed by a network that adjusts the split grid to the input image ratio using the characteristics of the recently actively used deep learning model YOLOv4, and is trained to a custom dataset. The distance to the detected object is estimated using a bounding box and homography. As a result of the experiment, the proposed method improved in overall detection performance and processing speed close to real-time. Compared to the existing YOLOv4, the total mAP of the proposed method increased by 4.03%. The accuracy of object recognition such as pedestrians, vehicles, construction sites, and PE drums, which frequently occur when driving to the city center, has been improved. The processing speed is approximately 55 FPS. The average of the distance estimation error was 5.25m in the X coordinate and 0.97m in the Y coordinate.

급증하는 자동차 수요로 인해 발생되는 배출량 증가는 자동차 운행의 특성상 대도시 대기오염의 주원인으로 작용하고 있다. 자동차 배출오염물질의 배출량 추정에 있어 국내 차량의 배출계수 개발도 시급하지만 우리 나라 자동차 운행패턴에 관한 연구도 같이 병행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Cold start emission과 Evaporative VOC emission의 산정에 있어서 국내 승용차의 1회 주행거리(Trip length)를 이용하여 승용차 부문 배출량 영향정도와 계절별 배출량 변화를 추정하여 보았다. (중략)
