본 논문은 실시간 차선 인식을 기반으로 한 자율주행 알고리즘을 제안한다. 자율주행 알고리즘은 크게 차선 인식과 의사결정으로 구분된다. 차선 인식 부분에서는 직관적인 판단을 위해 버드 아이 뷰로 영상데이터를 변환하여 안정적 차선 인식을 위하여 차선 영역을 추출하고 노이즈를 제거하는 전처리과정을 거친다. 이렇게 처리된 영상에서 Hough 변환을 통하여 차선을 검출한다. 의사결정 부분에서는 검출된 차선과 현재 위치를 기반으로 진행할 경로를 결정한다.

자율주행에서의 경로 계획을 위해서는 costmap을 활용할 수 있다. Costmap은 map 정보와 센서 데이터를 토대로 해당 지역을 통과할 때의 위험도를 cost로 할당한다. 그러나 local costmap에는 센서로 인식한 장애물만이 고려되며, 차선 정보를 경로 계획에 포함하기 위해서는 별도의 정보 처리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 카메라로 인식한 차선 정보를 costmap에 포함함으로써 통합적인 판단 방법론을 탐색하고, 위치 추정 및 경로 계획에서의 활용 가능성을 제시한다.

Road lighting has emerged in importance as an essential system to secure safety and visibility for drivers and pedestrians. According to the Road Lighting Standards (KS A 3701), the luminance uniformity (U0) should be 0.4, the luminance uniformity for lanes (UI) should be 0.5, and a threshold increment (TI) of 10% should be satisfied. In this study, we conducted simulations using the Relux program in which the secondary optical lens was applied to a 21 W engine. Ten LED engines were installed on a two-way four-lane road, and the simulation result satisfied the requirements with U0 0.47, UI 0.63 and TI 8%. The U0, UI, and TI were compared with the angle of the LED streetlight varied in the range of $9^{\circ}{\sim}15^{\circ}$ with $0.5^{\circ}$ intervals. The range was selected as ${\pm}25%$ of the standard inclination angle of $12^{\circ}$ according to the Road Lighting Standard. The U0 was high and the UI and TI were low when the tilting angle was in the range of $9.5^{\circ}{\sim}10.5^{\circ}$. Consequently, an optimum-design of lighting distribution was obtained for the concrete two-way four-lane road when the inclination angle was $9^{\circ}$.

Field measurement is a very essential factor for economic aspect and estimation of stability of tunnels. In this paper, various types of support element based on field test data in 4-lane wide road tunnel were evaluated. And stability and economical efficiency were also estimated. The estimated value were compared with design value and the type of support element which is applicable to site condition was evaluated. The results show that most of support elements were modified under the standard value(30mm) and type of support element which is already constructed was overestimated. So, appropriate level of support element have to be presented to save the time and cost during construction.

Bus signal priority is a name for various techniques to speed up bus public transport services at intersections with traffic signals. In this study propose methodology to optimize signal times for Early green, Green extension out of the active bus signal priority using deterministic delay model in isolated intersection on median bus lane. Fluctuation is found in the vehicle delay and person delay in the event that using this methodology redistributed to green time and checking slack green time is correct value by sensitivity analysis. As a result of the study, car delay is increased a little and person delay is decreased. As a result of slack green time sensitivity, delay is not much in it if variation of slack green time under 30%. But this methodology effectiveness is under claimed capacity if variation of slack green time over 30%.

In this paper, we present design method of wideband single-sideband mixer(SSM) with excellent sideband suppression and carrier suppression. We proposed SSM with 4-band split structure for uniform output flatness. From circuit simulation of this structure using Microwave OfficeTM, we got satisfactory results. We realized a SSM based on this results, then we experimented. The measured results show excellent agreements with the simulated results. We compared with two SSM's(target SSM(M Co. SM0218LC1CDC SSM) and our SSM) as well. The presented SSM is 3.35 times bigger, but sideband suppression is 3 dBc better and carrier suppression is 8 dBc better than those of comparative SSM, respectively.

Emerged in early 1990s, so called 'Quick service' industry that provides faster delivery of small parcels than regular mail service accelerated use of motorcycles. As the economic grows, use of large bicycles (more than 250CC displacement) for leisure purpose has also rapidly increased. Traffic crash data clearly shows the increasing trend in motorcycle crashes. The ratio of motorcycle involved crashes out of total has increased from 5.7% in 2005 to 8.3% in 2008, and similar trend can be found in fatalities ratio as well. In this study, we assess the level of risk when motorcycles operate on motorways by analyzing traffic rule violation ratio, lane change behaviour, driving speed behaviors of motorcycles in Uninterrupted Traffic Flow Facilities and using PC-CRASH simulation we also calculate car shock impulses occurred when an accident happens. Analysis result shows that the motorcycle is different from the car in terms of lane change timing and average speed, and also shows motorcycle drivers tends to conduct more improper driving behavior particularly when traffic is congested. The results from this study could be usefully applied when the law enforcement agent decides whether bicycles shall be allowed to use motorways. The result could be also utilized as fundamental information for further study of bicycles' driving behavior.

Road conditions can provide important information for driving safety in driving assistance systems. The input images usually include unnecessary information and they need to be analyzed only in a region of interest (ROI) to reduce the amount of computation. In this paper, a vision-based road ROI determination algorithm is proposed to detect the road region using the positional information of a vanishing point and line segments. The line segments are detected using Canny's edge detection and Hough transform. The vanishing point is traced by a Kalman filter to reduce the false detection due to noises. The road ROI can be determined automatically and adaptively in every frame after initialization. The proposed method is implemented using C++ and the OpenCV library, and the road ROIs are obtained from various video images of black boxes. The results show that the proposed algorithm is robust.

For urban highway network, traffic control strategy paradigm has been shifted from the private auto-oriented to the public transit-oriented. Introduction of exclusive median bus lanes (EMBL) in Seoul, Korea, has especially accelerated such changes in transportation policy and thus highway environment. Left-turning movement treatment at signalized intersections where EMBL pass through has been emerged as one of the rising problems associated with a current signal head with 4-signal lens, the Korea standard. This study proposes a new signal phase operation scheme for signal operation at an isolated intersection where EMBL pass through. The authors propose to use of an exclusive bus signal head indicating right-of-way of transits on EMBL only. Based on it, three different phase operation scheme were developed for left-turn treatments for traffic control with (1) traffic responsive control mode and (2) time-of-day traffic control mode. In addition, methodologies to design and develop signal maps for the proposed signal phase schemes are also developed. The proposed operation can only be possible when additional uses of signal state relay boards are allowed.

Variable speed limit(VSL) is one of the highway ITS techniques designed to prevent accidents and traffic slow down by reducing congestion or speed variation between vehicles and lanes prior to arrive at the accident location by limiting speed. In Korea, while people have recognized the need for variable speed limit beginning with Seoul's urban expressway and installed facilities in order to provide guide for speed limit per lane and lane use, there has not been enough development of algorithm for internal administration as well as research on the basic principles behind administering variable speed limit. This study is for modeling and evaluating the VSL strategies based on the traffic flow theory. Supply-Demand method of the Cell Transmission Model is applied to demonstrate the traffic features and shockwaves to upstream of the bottleneck with/without VSL. We verified the explanation of Cell Transmission Model for the numerical example. and as the result, it is found that VSL strategies can reduce the total travel time in the congested section and variation of the speed. It means VSL is useful to improve the traffic condition and the safety on highway
