본 연구에서는 중앙제어방식 긴급자동차 우선신호를 강북소방서 주변 1.782km 구간에 시험하고 그 효과를 분석하였다. 기존 연구를 검토하여 중앙제어방식과 현장제어방식에 대한 장단점을 비교하였고, 소방서 주변 도로 중 평균 통행속도가 높은 상위 지역 중 왕복 4차로에서 6차로에 해당되는 지역을 시험 대상 지역으로 선정하였다. 우선신호는 긴급자동차 속도로 교차로 도착 예정 시각을 산정, 녹색 신호를 연장하는 방식을 적용하였다. 우선신호 적용 효과는 긴급 자동차 GPS 궤적을 분석하여 속도와 이동시간으로 분석하였고, 주변 교통흐름에 미치는 영향은 긴급자동차 주행방향과 다른 방향의 대기행렬 길이조사를 통해 분석하였다. 시범사업 결과 긴급차량의 평균 통행시간이 41.81% 감소하였고 혼잡한 몇 개의 교차로를 제외한 대부분의 교차로에서의 지체 증가는 매우 적었다. 향후 Early Green과 전이과정에서 우선신호에 대한 보상방법에 대한 연구를 한다면 긴급자동차 우선신호 적용지역을 확대할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents safety assessment scenarios for cyclist autonomous emergency braking(AEB) system. To assess the safety performance of AEB in real traffic situation with limited number of scenarios, scenario should reflect the characteristics of real traffic collision cases. For this, statistic data of real traffic car-to-cyclist collision in Korea are analyzed. Many types of accidents are listed and categorized based on the movement of vehicle and cycle just before the collision. Then, the characteristics, main issues and limitations of each scenarios are discussed. Not only the test scenario itself but also the cost and time for the test are very important issues for the test scenarios to actually repeat the test for various systems. Also, the performance of AEB can be effected by the algorithm of AEB and the technical limitation of the sensors and hardwares. Therefore, required number of tests, possibility of dummy destruction and other technical issues are discussed for each scenarios. Based on these information, typical scenarios are selected. Also, using this information, vehicle speed range, cyclist speed and collision point are established. Proposed scenarios are verified and modified based on the vehicle test results. vehicle test was evaluated 5 times for each scenarios. Based on this results, final test scenarios are modified and proposed.

This paper describes an algorithm for Advanced Emergency Braking(AEB) with tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB is a system to avoid a collision or mitigate a collision impact by decelerating the car automatically when forward collision is imminent. Typical AEB system is operated by Time-to-collision(TTC), which considers only relative velocity and clearance from control vehicle to preceding vehicle. AEB operation by TTC has a limit that tire-road friction coefficient is not considered. In this paper, Tire-road friction coefficient is also considered to achieve more safe operation of AEB. Interacting Multiple Model method(IMM) is used for Tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB algorithm consists of friction coefficient estimator and upper level controller and lower level controller. The numerical simulation has been conducted to demonstrate the control performance of the proposed AEB algorithm. The simulation study has been conducted with a closed-loop driver-controller-vehicle system using using MATLAB-Simulink software and CarSim Vehicle model.

There have been recently introduced new types of urban metro vehicles called LRT (Light Rail Transit) running on elevated guideway such as Uijeongbu VAL(which stands for V$\acute{e}$hicule Automatique L$\acute{e}$ger: Automatic Light Rail Vehicle) system, Yong-In LIM(Linear Induction Motor) system, Incheon international airport MAGLEV(Magnetic Levitated Vehicle) system and Daegu monorail system. Most of accidents by the vehicles are bound to happen on elevated guideway. Therefore, it is of vital importance to analyze hazards related to vehicles running on elevated guideway and study emergency evacuation scenarios applicable in case of accidents on elevated guideway so as to secure the safety of the new types of urban metro vehicles. In this study, FTA(Fault Tree Analysis) model was developed to identify all possible hazards, and all possible evacuation scenarios were studied. It was also confirmed that each hazard can be corresponded to one or more evacuation scenarios. This result shows that passengers can be evacuated according to one of the scenarios identified in this study in case of an accident of "Train Stranded on Elevated Guideway".

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.

Purpose: All-terrain vehicle (ATV)-related injuries have increased since the introduction of ATVs to Korea. The purpose of this study is to compare patients with ATV-related injuries (PATV) to patients with motorcycle (MC)-related injuries (PMC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of PATV and PMC who visited an emergency center in 2008. The cases of PMC were 164, and those of PATV were 52. Results: While PMC are seen evenly in the first half year and the second half year, PATV are seen mainly the first half year (from March to June: 73%). For PMC the most frequent injury mechanism was collision with another vehicle, while for PATV, it was side overturn/roll over. The injury severity score (ISS), the revised trauma score (RTS), the trauma score and the injury severity score (TRISS) were $5.6{\pm}5.6$, $7.7{\pm}0.7$, $5.0{\pm}2.1$ for PMC and $7.1{\pm}7.5$, $7.7{\pm}1.1$, $5.5{\pm}1.5$ for PATV, respectively. The most common injury sites were the lower extremities for PMC and the face for PATV. The rates of admission, surgery and the length of hospital stay were similar between PMC and PATV. Conclusion: This study shows that the risk of ATV accidents is similar to that of MC accidents. We recommend that the same safety standards and regulations that are applied to MCs should be used for ATVs. Safe and enjoyable paths have to be sought for drivers of ATVs.

현재 우리나라 신호교차로는 긴급차량에 대한 우선신호(Preemption) 제어전략을 적용하지 않고, 긴급차량의 교차로 진입 및 통과여부와 관계없이 일반적인 신호로 운영되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 긴급차량 Preemption 제어 전략을 검토하고. 이를 국내 교통상황을 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 통해 평가하여 교통상황에 따른 효과의 변동성을 분석하였다. 그리고 실제 현장자료를 기반으로 평가하여 국내 적용성 평가를 실시하였다. 분석결과 긴급차량 preemption 제어가 긴급차량의 운영에 긍정적인 영향을 주나 v/c가 증가 할 수록 이와 같은 효과는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 일반차량의 경우는 preemption 제어로 인하여 지체가 증가하고 통행속도가 감소하였으나 네트워크 전체적으로는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러므로 교통상황에 따라 개선효과의 차이는 존재하지만, preemption 제어 알고리즘을 국내에 도입한다면 사회적으로 긍정적인 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

무선인터넷 기술의 발달과 응용의 확산으로 위치정보를 이용한 위치기반 서비스 형태는 더욱더 다양해 지고 있다. 특히, 언제 어디서나 사람과 사물 같은 객체의 위치를 인식하고 이를 기반으로 유용한 서비스를 제공하는 유비쿼터스 위치기반 서비스(Ubiquitous Location Based Services : u-LBS)가 중요한 서비스로 대두되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 차량 충돌 위치와 관련한 서비스 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 된 시스템에서 사용된 GPS Packet에는 위치에 대한 정보와 차량 충돌에 대한 충돌 세기와 시간, 차량에 대한 NodeID 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 데이터들을 이용하여 하나의 패킷이 만들어 지게 되고 차량 간 충돌이 발생할 경우 차량에서 Gateway로 전송된다. Gateway에서 Server로 전송된 패킷은 충돌 여부를 판단하여 위급상황으로 판단되면, 구급센터로 위치정보와 충돌측정여부에 대하여 알려주게 된다. 또한, 이러한 위급상황에 대해서는 외부에 있는 가족 등의 관련된 사람들에게 무선으로 무선단말기(PDA, 휴대폰)를 통해 알려주게 된다. Server에 들어오게 되는 충돌 정보들은 Database에 저장이 되도록 구성하였다. 아울러, 제안한 u-LBS시스템의 유효성을 검증하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다.

With the extension of wireless technology, vehicular ad hoc networks provide important services for the dissemination of general data and emergency warnings. However, since, the vehicle topology frequently changes from a dense to a sparse network depending on the speed of the moving vehicles and the time of day, vehicular ad hoc networks require a protocol that can facilitate the efficient and reliable dissemination of emergency messages in a highly mobile environment under dense or intermittent vehicular connectivity. Therefore, this paper proposes a new vehicular broadcast protocol, called BL-CAST, that can operate effectively in both dense and sparse network scenarios. As a low overhead multi-hop broadcast protocol, BL-CAST does not rely on the periodic exchange of beacons for updating location information. Instead, the location information of a vehicle is included in a broadcast message to identify the last rebroadcasting vehicle in an intermittently connected network. Simulation results show that BL-CAST outperforms the DV-CAST protocol in terms of the end-to-end delay, message delivery ratio and network overhead.
