This paper describes efficient flight control algorithms for building a reconfigurable ad-hoc wireless sensor networks between nodes on the ground and airborne nodes mounted on autonomous vehicles to increase the operational range of an aerial robot or the communication connectivity. Two autonomous flight control algorithms based on adaptive gradient climbing approach are developed to steer the aerial vehicles to reach optimal locations for the maximum communication throughputs in the airborne sensor networks. The first autonomous vehicle control algorithm is presented for seeking the source of a scalar signal by directly using the extremum-seeking based forward surge control approach with no position information of the aerial vehicle. The second flight control algorithm is developed with the angular rate command by integrating an adaptive gradient climbing technique which uses an on-line gradient estimator to identify the derivative of a performance cost function. They incorporate the network performance into the feedback path to mitigate interference and noise. A communication propagation model is used to predict the link quality of the communication connectivity between distributed nodes. Simulation study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed reconfigurable airborne wireless networking control algorithms.

As a sales volume of autonomous vehicle continually grows up, regulations on this new technology are being introduced around the world. For example, safety standards for the Level 3 automated driving system was promulgated in December 2019 by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korean government. In order to promote the development of autonomous vehicle technology and ensure its safety simultaneously, the regulations on the automated driving systems should be phased in to keep pace with technology progress and market expansion. However, according to SAE J3016, which is well known to classify the level of the autonomous vehicle technologies, the description for classification is rather abstract. Therefore it is necessary to describe the automated driving system in more detail in terms of the 'Level.' In this study, the functions and characteristics of automated driving system are carefully classified at each level based on the commentary in the Informal Working Group (IWG) of the UN WP29. In particular, regarding the Level 4, technical issues are characterized with respect to vehicle tasks, driver tasks, system performance and regulations. The important features of the autonomous vehicles to meet Level 4 are explored on the viewpoints of driver replacement, emergency response and connected driving performance.

In order to verify autonomous driving scenarios and safety, a lot of driving and accident data is needed, so various organizations are conducting classification and analysis of traffic accident types. In this study, it was determined that accident recording devices such as EDR (Event Data Recorder) and DSSAD (Data Storage System for Automated Driving) would become an objective standard for analyzing the causes of autonomous vehicle accidents, and traffic accidents that occurred from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed. Using the database system of IGLAD (Initiative for the Global Harmonization of Accident Data), approximately 360 accident data of EDR-equipped vehicles were classified and their characteristics were analyzed by comparing them with accident types of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)-equipped vehicles. It will be used to develop autonomous vehicle accident investigation guidelines in the future.

현재 자율주행 차량 연구들은 긴급상황이 대처 가능한 4레벨의 자율주행 차량을 개발하기 위해 매진하고 있다. 차량이 긴급상황에 유연하게 대처하기 위해서는 피해를 최소화하는 방향으로 움직여야 하는데, 이는 주변 보행자, 도로 상태, 주변 차량의 상태 등 주행 중인 도로의 모든 상태를 판단하여 진행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자율차량 내부의 탑승객 상황을 탐지하고, 그것을 V2V로 주변 차량에 공유하여 이 긴급상황에서 주행을 결정하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있는 자율차량의 주행을 보조하기 위한 탑승객 탐지 및 공유 시스템을 제안한다. 탑승객 탐지 및 공유 시스템은 현재 차량에서 탑승객을 인식하는 무게 측정 방식을 개선하여 정확하게 차량 내부의 승객 위치를 식별할 수 있고, 각 차량의 승객 위치를 주변의 다른 차량과 공유하기 때문에 긴급상황이 발생할 때 차량의 주행 결정에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 실험 결과, 탑승객 인식 서브 모듈에 적용된 체압 센서는 기존의 공진형 센서보다 약 8%, 압전형 센서보다 약 17% 높은 정확도를 보였다.

As the development of autonomous vehicles becomes realistic, many automobile manufacturers and components producers aim to develop 'completely autonomous driving'. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) which has been applied in automobile recently, supports the driver in controlling lane maintenance, speed and direction in a single lane based on limited road environment. Although technologies of obstacles avoidance on the obstacle environment have been developed, they concentrates on simple obstacle avoidances, not considering the control of the actual vehicle in the real situation which makes drivers feel unsafe from the sudden change of the wheel and the speed of the vehicle. In order to develop the 'completely autonomous driving' automobile which perceives the surrounding environment by itself and operates, ability of the vehicle should be enhanced in a way human driver does. In this sense, this paper intends to establish a strategy with which autonomous vehicles behave human-friendly based on vehicle dynamics through the reinforcement learning that is based on Q-learning, a type of machine learning. The obstacle avoidance reinforcement learning proceeded in 5 simulations. The reward rule has been set in the experiment so that the car can learn by itself with recurring events, allowing the experiment to have the similar environment to the one when humans drive. Driving Simulator has been used to verify results of the reinforcement learning. The ultimate goal of this study is to enable autonomous vehicles avoid obstacles in a human-friendly way when obstacles appear in their sight, using controlling methods that have previously been learned in various conditions through the reinforcement learning.

An autonomous vehicle control algorithm based on Ackerman Geometry is known to be reliable in low tire slip situation. However, vehicles at high speed make lateral errors due to high tire slip. In this paper, considering the tire slip of vehicles, the steering angle is determined based on the Ackerman Geometry and is supplemented tire slip angle by the Stanley steering algorithm. In addition, to prevent the tire slip, the algorithm, which restricts steering if a certain level of slip occurs, is used to reduce the lateral error. While many studies have been extended to include vehicle slip, studies also need to be carried out on the tire slip depending on hardware performance. The control algorithm of autonomous vehicles is compensated considering the sensor noise and the performance of steering actuator. Through the various simulations, it was found that the performance of steering actuator was the key factor affecting the performance of autonomous driving. Also, it was verified that the usefulness of steering algorithm considering the tire slip and performance of steering actuator.

인공지능은 우리 실생활과 밀접하게 연관되어 다양한 분야에서 혁신을 주도하고 있다. 특히 인공지능을 보유한 이동수단으로서, 자율무인이동체의 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 곧 실용화를 앞두고 있다. 자율자동차와 무인기 등이 스스로 경로를 설정하고 목적지까지 이동하기 위해서는 정확한 위치정보를 제공하는 항법장비가 필수적이다. 현재 운용되고 있는 이동수단들의 항법은 대부분 GPS에 의존하고 있다. 그러나 GPS는 외부 교란에 취약하다. 지난 2010년부터 북한은 수차례 GPS교란을 감행하여 우리 측에 이동통신, 항공기 운항 등에심각한 장애를 유발했다. 따라서 자율무인이동체의 안전성을 보장하고 교란으로 인한 피해를 방지하기 위해서는 신속한 상황판단과 대응이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 빅데이터, 머신러닝 기술을 기반으로 John Boyd의 OODA LOOP Cycle(탐지-방향설정-결심-행동)을 적용한 조치방안 도출과 결심을 지원하는 GPS 전파교란 대응체계를 제시하였다.
