In this paper, a new type of passive energy dissipating system similar to added damping and stiffness (ADAS) and triangular added damping and stiffness (TADAS) is proposed and implemented in the analytical model of a building with hybrid structural system in the structure's base which we call it; Telescopic column. The behavior and performance of a high rise R.C. structure equipped with this system is investigated and compared with conventional base isolation systems such as rubber isolator bearings and friction pendulum bearings. For this purpose a series of ground acceleration records of the San Fernando, Long Beach and Imperial Valley earthquakes are used as the disturbing ground motions in a series of numerical simulations. The nonlinear numerical modeling which includes both material and geometric nonlinearities were carried out by using SAP2000 program. Results show suitable behavior of structures equipped with telescopic columns in controlling the upper stories drifts and accelerations.

This paper presents steering controller for unintended lane departure avoidance under crosswind using vehicle lateral disturbance estimation. Vehicles exposed to crosswind are more likely to deviate from lane, which can lead to accidents. To prevent this, a lateral disturbance estimator and steering controller for compensating disturbance have been proposed. The disturbance affecting lateral motion of the vehicle is estimated using Kalman filter, which is on the basis of the 2-DOF bicycle model and Electric Power Steering (EPS) module. A sliding mode controller is designed to avoid unintended the lane departure using the estimated disturbance. The controller is based on the 2-DOF bicycle model and the vision-based error dynamic model. A torque controller is used to provide appropriate assist torque to driver. The performance of proposed estimator and controller is evaluated via computer simulation using Matlab/Simulink.

In this paper, we propose a vision-based method to recognize lane changes of an autonomous vehicle. The proposed method is based on six states of driving situations defined by the positional relationship between a vehicle and its nearest lane detected. With the combinations of these states, the lane change is detected. The proposed method yields 98% recognition accuracy of lane change even in poor situations with partially invisible lanes.

최근 지능형 차량과 ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) 개발에 있어 차량 영상을 이용한 도로 정보 분석이 중요한 화두로 떠오르고 있다. 다양한 도로 정보 중에서 도로표지판 검출 및 판단은 차량 운행 환경을 파악할 수 있는 중요한 과정이 될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 차량 영상에서의 색상 정보를 이용하여 표지판의 후보 영역을 추출(Candidate Generation)하고, 후보 영상에 대한 HOG(Histogram of Gradient) 특징 분석을 통해 도로표지판 여부와 그 종류를 판단(Object Classification)하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 구현 알고리즘은 실시간 처리가 가능한 속도를 보여주어 지능형 차량 또는 ADAS에서의 실제 적용이 가능하도록 하였다.

The automatic traffic sign detection and recognition has been one of the highly researched and an important component of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). They are designed especially to warn the drivers of imminent dangers such as sharp curves, under construction zone, etc. This paper presents a traffic sign recognition (TSR) system using morphological operations and multiple descriptors. The TSR system is realized in three stages: segmentation, shape classification and recognition stage. The system is designed to attain maximum accuracy at the segmentation stage with the inclusion of morphological operations and boost the computation time at the shape classification stage using MB-LBP descriptor. The proposed system is tested on the German traffic sign recognition benchmark (GTSRB) and on Korean traffic sign dataset.

운전자 지원 시스템(ADAS)은 최근 지능형 자동차 분야에서 중요한 이슈로 손꼽히는 기술 중 하나이다. 이 중에서 실시간 표지판 인식 기술은 운전자 지원 시스템의 하나로 운전자의 안전과 직결될 수 있어 높은 정확성과 실시간성이 요구된다. 그동안 표지판 인식 분야는 색상과 현상을 기반으로 연구가 진행되어왔으나, 교통 표지판은 국가별로 그 특징과 형태가 각기 상이하여 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국의 속도제한 표지판을 실시간으로 검출하고 인식하기 위하여, 1) 영상에서 색상 특징을 이용하여 후보 영역을 검출하고, 2) 형상 정보를 분석하여 표지판의 형태를 검증하고, 3) 검출된 후보영역의 내부문자(숫자)를 분할하고 인식하는 시스템을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose the assistance method to enable safe driving through analysis of dangerous driving behavior using real-time alarm by vehicle speed, azimuth data and smartphone. For this method, smartphone is receiving driving data from digital tachograph using communication. Safe driving habit is a very important issue to commercial vehicle because that driver's long time driving than other vehicle type driver. Existing methods are very inefficient to improve immediately dangerous driving habits during driving because proceed driving behavior analysis after the vehicle operation. We propose the new safe driving assistance method that can prevent traffic accidents by real-time and improve the driver's wrong driving habits through real-time dangerous driving behavior analysis and notification the result to the driver. We have confirmed that the method in this paper will help to improve driving habits and can be applied through the proposed method implementation and simulation experiment.

Recently, automobile industries have developed ADAS, smart cars, connected cars, automated driving systems, which use a variety of sensor systems - ultrasonics, cameras, lidars and radars - and communication systems. It is necessary to examine the electromagnetic immunity of vehicles equipped with those systems. The electromagnetic immunity tests are carried out in an electromagnetic semi anechoic chamber, which is cut off from the outside. It is difficult to create test environments in which the radar sensor systems of vehicles work properly in the test chamber. In this study, test jigs were designed and tested and as a result they are shown to be effective to create test environments for electromagnetic immunity tests of vehicles equipped with radar sensors. We also proposed additional safety standards for immunity tests of vehicles with radar systems that currently do not exist.
