In modern society, the transportation sector is having difficulties with mobility, safety, energy and environment issues so that solutions should be prepared progressively. Recently developed countries are paying greater attention to car-sharing systems as alternatives for relieving problems caused by increasing number of vehicles. Car-sharing systems are believed to keep the number of personal vehicles down and traffic congestion due to the fact that this system induces efficiency of vehicle operation. In this study, authors focused on solving the imbalance problem of car-sharing systems dynamically, to specifically improve one-way car sharing service. Therefore vehicle relocation algorithm was designed for maximizing profit of car sharing operators. For the application of the vehicle relocation algorithm among rental offices, we selected Haeundae-gu, Busan as the area of study. Rental offices have been designated to the zone centroid and we calculated the shortest path between rental offices by using TransCAD. In the study, we adapted MATLAB for the application of vehicle relocation algorithm. As the results, the total vehicle relocation time was estimated as 59.9 minutes. In addition, vehicle relocation algorithm was verified successfully by using Decision Tree method.

driver for safety always check the status of their vehicle, and it is essential to understand. But if you want to know the status of the driver of the vehicle in specialist referral time and money because it costs the operator shall be paid.IT technoligy with the development of the various features of your phone to check the status of the vehicle was able to do. However, the car' existing phone system, car diagnostic expertise must be learned because it will reveal the status of the vehicle do not have the expertise to not highlight the need for diagnostic. To reflect these points in smartphone users to easily use their own vehicles at a time to determine the status of a system that is required. In this paper, OBD-II protocol conversion WiFi OBD-II connector, retrieving information from the driver of the vehicle replacement cycle of consumables required vehicle inspection, vehicle problems in real-time diagnostic information to the user ease of use shows the iPhone implementation in the automotive supply was implemented based on the smartphone.

Wi-Fi based vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is an emerging solution to improve the safety, traffic efficiency, and comfort of passengers. However, due to the high mobility of vehicles and the limited coverage of Wi-Fi APs, the V2I system may suffer from frequent handoffs although roadside APs can support cost effective Internet connectivity. Such problem of V2I systems can be overcome with Mobile AP (MAP) platform. The MAPs yield longer service duration by moving along with vehicles, yet they provide a lower link capacities than the roadside APs. In this paper, we propose a new association control mechanism that effectively determines whether the vehicle will select a fixed roadside-AP or a nearby MAP in mobile vehicular network environments. We consider both the achievable link bandwidth and available connection duration as a selection criterion and provide their run-time estimation method. Extensive simulation using real traces show significant performance improvements.

Traffic light rules are one among the most common and important safety rules as the directly correlate with the safety of pedestrians. Consequently, an algorithm is required to cause an automated (or semi-automated) vehicle to observe traffic light signals. We present a novel, artificial potential function to guide an automated vehicle through traffic lights. Our function consists of three potential function components representing the three traffic light colors: green, yellow, and red. The traffic light potential function smoothly changes an artificial potential field using the elapsed time for the current light and light conversion. Our traffic light potential function is combined with other potential functions to guide vehicles' movement and constructs the final artificial potential field. Using various simulations, we found or method successfully guided the vehicle to observe traffic lights while behaving like human-controlled cars.

Drivers check always vehicle state for own safety and is necessary to understand about vehicle state. If driver know vehicle state, because driver request vehicle state at vehicle specialty company, driver pay a lot of money and waste a lot of time. Now, drivers have checked vehicle state by using variety features of smart phone due to progress of IT(Information Technology). but existing smartphone vehicle diagnostic system learned professional knowledge of vehicle and know vehicle state. drives not need vehicle diagnostic. to overcome these disadvantages, there use easily drivers by using smartphone and request system to know own all vehicle state. In this paper, there implement vehicle diagnostic system with smartphone based on android OS to use easily this system and know check information of vehicle supplies replacement cycles, vehicle internal problems, Eco driving by using OBD-II data to receive by OBD-II Protocol convert Bluetooth connector.

미국 국방부 소속 육군차량사업부(National A Automotive Center)는 대체에너지를 이용한 군용 차량 개발을 위해 Michigan 주 Rochester Hills에 위치한 E Energy Conversion Devices(ECD) 사와 일부 기술 개발 에 대한 기술 제휴를 한다고 발표했다. 국방부는 태양전 지와 수소를 연료로 사용하는 대체에너지 차량을 개발하 기 위해 ECD에 1단계 연구에 필요한 연구비를 지원했다. 이번 연구에는 연료전지를사용한차량개발을위해 5 500,$\omega$0달러가 투자되는데, Texaco Ovollic Hydrogen S Systems(TOHC)의 고체 휴대용 수소 연료와 채충천 (refueling) 시스탬이 주요 개발 목표로 설정됐다. ECD의 역할은 최근 개발된 Toyota Prius에 시범 적으로 장착된 저압 고체형 수소 저장 시스템의 기술을 군용 차량에 알맞게 전환시키는 것이다. TOHC와 ECD가 개발한 고체형 수소 보관 시스댐은 고압을 요구하는 연료전지 차량의 수소 저 장 시스템이 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대되는 연료전지를 이용한 엔진 개발 중 최신 기술이다. 특히 전투 상황에서 차량이 폭발하기 쉬운 수소 저장 탱크를 장착한 채 전 장으로간다는 것은적에게 노출 될 경우자살과마찬가지인 치명적인 피해를 입을수 있다. 이 프로젝트의 개요를 살펴보면, 수소 저장 시스템은 적어도 약 lOkg의 수소를 적은 용적 내에 낮은 압력에서 안전하게 고체 상태로 저장할 수 있다. 이 고체 저장 용기는 하루에 두 번 1.7kg의 수소를 10분 이내에 재급유할 수 있다. 수소는대부분고압가스형태나저온액체 형태로보관된다. 기체나액체 형태의 수소는 연료전 지에 사용되기에는 적합하지 않은 점이 많다. Ovonie 수소 저장 방법은 수소를 저압 고체 형태 ( (metal hydride)로 보관하는 방법으로, 고압 기체나 저온 액체가 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결 할수있다. 그림을 참조하면 고체 형태의 수소 보관 방법이 다른 보관 방법에 비교해 단위 체적당 최고 6배 많은수소질량을보관할수 있다. 이 고체 형태의 보관방법은수소가적절한합금과평형 압력 이 상의 환경에 놓일 경우 합금에 홉착되는 현상을 이용하고 있다. 수소를 흡수한 합금은 새로운 특성 을 가진 metal hydride로 변하게 된다. 이 과정 에서 열이 부산물로 발생한다. 반대로 수소를 metal hydride로부터 분리시키기 위해서는 합금을 가열해야 한다.

The Vehicle Safety Communications (VSC) is one of VANET applications for preventing vehicle accidents, and it utilizes vehicle-to-vehicle communication to exchange emergency messages. To propagate such messages in VSC, several schemes based on selective flooding have been proposed. Their common idea is that an emergency message is relayed by one of vehicles receiving the message. However, the schemes do not consider the transmission errors and duplications of an emergency event. In the schemes, if there are transmission errors and a vehicle detects a hazard, there may be vehicles which fail to receive an emergency message. If k vehicles detect a hazard, k emergency messages are created and propagated. The duplications of an event increase reliability of the message delivery but decrease efficiency. In this paper, we propose an emergency message delivery scheme which is efficient and robust to transmission errors. Our proposed scheme utilizes clustering for massage aggregation and retransmissions in a cluster. It also uses an acknowledgment mechanism for reliable inter-cluster communication. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms Least Common Neighbor Flooding which is one of the selective flooding schemes.
