교통안전시설 실무편람에 의하면 현재 U-Turn 설치 가능한 지점으로 최소폭원을 '편도 폭 9m 이상'의 지점으로 하고 있으며, U-Turn 허용차량은 승용차로 제한하는 것을 원칙으로 하도록 규정하고 있다. 그러나 최근 대형화된 승용차와 보편화된 SUV(sports utility vehicle)차량이 한번에 U-Turn을 완료하지 못하면서 교통소통과 교통안전에 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 차량을 이용한 U-turn 회전반경의 실차 조사치와 교통사고 재현 프로그램인 PC-Crash에 의한 예측치를 비교 검정한 후 PC-Crash를 이용하여 국내 승용차에 대해 U-turn 회전반경에 대해서 예측하고 U-Turn 설치를 위한 적정 폭원으로 제시하였다.

Over the past ten years, since the introduction of the side crash test regulation in Europe, much research work has been performed internationally to develop new and modified test procedures to improve the level of occupant protection offered by vehicles in side crash test. This research has been co-ordinated and finally contributed to development of an AE-MDB(Advanced European Moving Deformable Barrier) and WorldSID (Worldwide Side Impact Dummy). EuroNCAP(European New Car Assessment Program) has the plan to conduct AE-MDB side crash test using WorldSID from 2015 by replacing Progressive MDB and EuroSID II. Automobile manufacturers need to respond to these changes closely. This paper is to find dominant control factor and analyze it of WorldSID 50%ile dummy injury through AE-MDB side crash test by predicting best and worst condition. And control factors will be validated within EuroNCAP regulations. This paper is analyzed by DFSS(Design for six sigma) which contains 5 control factors and is evaluated by ANOVA with the data as a result of LS-DYNA analysis correlated with crash pulse from 50 kph AE-MDB side crash test using WorldSID 50%ile dummy.

In this study, the subframe of passenger car is developed by typical analysis and carsh simulations. According this results, energy absorption and barrier froce is very important to control passenger safety and deformation shape. For that purpose, it is most effective to absorb energy more tailor welded blanks(TWB) subframe than non-TWB. The subframe with TWB is simulated, in which reduced stamping parts, weight reduction and cost down.

Currently in design and manufacturing of railway train overseas markets, criteria for a collision condition between vehicles is noted in design specification. In the event of a train crash, it can be verified by crashworthiness analysis or an actual crash test for car's performance to keep the safety of passengers and to minimize the effect of damaged for vehicles. In this paper, it is described for carbody structure to meet the allowable condition in collision analysis through improvement of shape, position and arrangement for carbody frame. This report describes the shape of end frame for carbody structure and the results of analysis applied to actual cases for overseas.

Bumper back beam is one of the essential structural components of front-end module. It should be designed to withstand a minor bump in low-speed collision, 2.5 mph crash test for example. And weight reduction is always important problem in the design of almost all the parts in car for energy saving. So, the key issues in shape design of a bumper are weight reduction and the performance in 2.5mph crash test. In this study, a light weight and high performance bumper back beam model was developed using analytical approach based on mechanics and FE simulation together.

AHSS (Advanced High Strength Steels) has been increasingly employed by global automotive OEMs in order to satisfy strengthened regulations and reduce weight for fuel efficiency. Hot stamping using boron steels in AHSS increases not only formability but also strength. The typical hot-stamped automotive part is the center pillar that is critical for vehicle side impact. However, the hot-stamped part can be risky for the passenger safety caused by brittle fracture under a vehicle collision. The high power diode laser is suitable for the heat treatment giving AHSS increased elongation that prevents brittle fracture in car crash. Therefore, local softening by laser heat treatment for energy absorption area on the hot-stamped part improves crash-worthiness.

도심 교통체증 감소와 물류의 신속한 이동을 위해 1990년대 초반 등장한 퀵서비스산업은 이륜자동차의 증가를 가속화 했으며, 경제발전에 따라 250CC 이상 대배기량의 이륜자동차들도 레저용으로 급증하고 있는 추세를 보이고 있다. 사고발생추세에서 전체교통사고대비 2005년 5.7%, 2008년 8.3%로 점차 증가추세를 보이며 사망률 또한 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이륜자동차의 자동차전용도로 통행에 대한 위험도를 알아보고자 서울시 연속류 도로를 대상으로 이륜자동차의 법규위반율과 차로변경 행태, 주행속도 행태를 분석하였으며 사고시의 차량충격량을 PCCRASH 시뮬레이션으로 산출하였다. 분석 결과, 차로변경시간과 평균통행속도가 일반차량과 상이하며 도로정체가 발생할 경우 부적절한 주행행태를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 정부의 이륜자동차 자동차전용도로 허용 검토에 있어 본 연구는 허용여부를 판단하는데 도움이 되며 이륜자동차의 주행 행태를 연구하는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

본 연구는 차량의 도로이탈을 방지하고, 충격량을 흡수하여 차량 탑승자 및 도로주변의 인도를 횡단하는 보행자를 보호하기 위한 차량용 방호울타리에 관한 연구로서 LS-DYNA를 이용해 탑승자 보호성능 평가시험을 시뮬레이션하였으며, 다양한 속도와 각도를 변경하여 반복 시뮬레이션을 하여 충돌조건에 따른 탑승자 보호성능을 고찰하였다. 시뮬레이션을 위한 변수의 설정은 국내차량 판매대수에 따른 평균차량의 중량을 구하고, 미국 NHTSA의 NASS를 분석하여 실제 사고가 발생하는 속도와 충돌각도구간을 검출하였다. 그 결과로 충돌속도와 충돌각도가 커질수록 THIV(탑승자 충격속도)와 PHD(탑승자 가속도) 값이 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며, 차량이 가드레일의 지주에 걸리는 현상이 발생할 때 탑승자보호성능이 크게 저하되는 것을 확인하였다.

OBJECTIVES : Fixed roadside objects are a threat to drivers when their vehicles deviate from the road. Therefore, such roadside objects need to be suitably dealt with to decrease accidents. This study determines the factors affecting the severity of accidents because of fixed roadside objects. METHODS : This study analyzed the crash severity impact of fixed roadside objects by using ordered probit regression as the analysis methodology. In this research, data from 896 traffic accidents reported in the last three years were used. These accidents consisted of sole-car accidents, fixed roadside object accidents, and lane-departure accidents on the national highway of Korea. The accident severity was classified as light injury, severe injury, and death. The factors relating to the road and the driver were collected as independent variables. RESULTS : The result of the analysis showed that the variables of the crash severity impact are the collision location (left side), gender of the driver (female), alcohol use, collision facility (roadside trees, traffic signals, telephone poles), and type of road (rural segments). Additionally, the collision location (left side), gender of the driver (female), alcohol use, collision facility (street trees, traffic signals, telephone poles), and type of road (rural segments), in order of influence, were found to be the factors affecting the crash severity in accidents due to fixed roadside objects. CONCLUSIONS : An alternative solution is urgently required to reduce the crash severity in accidents due to fixed roadside objects. Such a solution can consider the appropriate places to install breakaway devices and energy-absorbing systems.

Crashworthiness design is of special interest in automotive industry and in the transportation safety field to ensure the vehicle structural integrity and more importantly the occupant safety in the event of the crash. Front side assembly is one of the most important energy absorbing components in relating to the crashworthiness design of vehicle. The structure and shape of the front side assemblies are different depending on automakers. Thus, it is not easy to grab an insight on designer's intention when you glance at a new front side member without experiences. In this paper, we have performed the explicit nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis on the front side assembly of a passenger car to identify the mechanical roles of each part of the assembly and to enhance the absorbing energy from the viewpoint of reverse engineering.
