Autonomous Lane detection with vision is a difficult problem because of various road conditions, such as shadowy road surface, various light conditions, and the signs on the road. In this paper we propose a robust lane detection algorithm to overcome shadowy road problem using a statistical method. The algorithm is applied to the vision-based mobile robot system and the robot followed the lane with the lane following controller. In parallel with the lane following controller, the global position of the robot is estimated by the developed localization method to specify the locations where the lane is discontinued. The results of experiments, done in the region where the GPS measurement is unreliable, show good performance to detect and to follow the lane in complex conditions with shades, water marks, and so on.

차량들의 차량추종과 차로변경에 행태에 의해 차량 교통류는 다양한 형태를 보이게 되며, 차로변경의 행태에 따라 차로이용률은 매우 다양하게 나타난다. 따라서 미시적 차량 모의실험을 이용하여 다양한 교통류를 설명하기 위해서는 차량추종과 더불어 다양한 차로이용 행태를 구현하는 차로변경 모형이 필수적이다. 국내의 경우 차량추종모형에 대한 연구는 보고되고 있으나 차로변경모형에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대규모 고속도로망 모의실험에 적합한 CA(Cellular Automata)모형을 기반으로 미시적 2차로 차로변경모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형을 기존의 CA 차량추종모형과 결합하여 모의실험을 수행한 결과, 다양한 차로이용률 행태를 설명하는 것으로 분석되었다. 개발된 차로변경모형은 보다 다양한 고속도로 교통류의 모의실험에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper suggests a car-following algorithm for urban environment, with multiple target candidates. Until now, advanced driver assistant systems (ADASs) and self-driving technologies have been researched to cope with diverse possible scenarios. Among them, car-following driving has been formed the groundwork of autonomous vehicle for its integrity and flexibility to other modes such as smart cruise system (SCC) and platooning. Although the field has a rich history, most researches has been focused on the shape of target trajectory, such as the order of interpolated polynomial, in simple single-lane situation. However, to introduce the car-following mode in urban environment, realistic situation should be reflected: multi-lane road, target's unstable driving tendency, obstacles. Therefore, the suggested car-following system includes both in-lane preceding vehicle and other factors such as side-lane targets. The algorithm is comprised of three parts: path candidate generation and optimal trajectory selection. In the first part, initial guesses of desired paths are calculated as polynomial function connecting host vehicle's state and vicinal vehicle's predicted future states. In the second part, final target trajectory is selected using quadratic cost function reflecting safeness, control input efficiency, and initial objective such as velocity. Finally, adjusted path and control input are calculated using model predictive control (MPC). The suggested algorithm's performance is verified using off-line simulation using Matlab; the results shows reasonable car-following motion planning.

In this paper, we describe an algorithm which estimate road following direction using the vanishing point property and obstacle detection. This method of detecting the lane markers in a set of continuous lane highway images using linear approximation is presented. This algorithm is designed for accurate and robust extraction of this data as well as high processing speed. Also, this algorithm reckon distance and chase about an obstacle. It include four algorithms which are lane prediction, lane extraction, road following parameter estimation and obstacle detection algorithm. High accuracy was proven by quantitative evaluation using simulated images. Both robustness and the practicality of real time video rate processing were then confirmed through experiment using VTR real road images.

This paper describes the algorithm which can estimate road following direction and deetect obstacle using a monocular vision system. This algorithm can estimate the course of vehicle using the vanishing point properties and detect obstacle by statistical method. The proposed algorithm is composed of four steps, which are lane prediction, lane extraction, road following parameter estimation and obstacle detection. It is designed for high processing speed and high accuracy. The former is achieved by a small area named sub-windown in lane existence area, the later is realized by using connected edge points of lane. We would like to present that the new mehod can detect obstacle using the simple statistical method. The paracticalities of the processing speed, the accuracy of the algorithm and proposing obstacle detection method, have been justified through the experiment applied VTR image of the real road to the algorithm.

The two-lane, two-way highway simulation program(TWOPAS) is evaluated for Korean Highway Capacity Manual Study. TWOPAS program input variables, especially related vehicle performance, traffic flow relationship, car-following model and passing logic are examined and modified through the analysis results of our two-lane, two-way highway traffic characteristics. Simulation outputs with and without modification are compared with the field data. The results show that improved TWOPAS program(TWOPAS KI) is well suitable for simulating our two-lane, two-way highway condition.

This paper describes a lane following control of vision based mobile robot that follows guidline. Summation of binarization conversion and image data of vertical axis was used in image processing. As an extraction of specific parameters of lane image, the raw image was converted to the binary data, and the binary data was summerized to the specific data vertically. The specific parameters were made to the inputs of neural network. Summation of image data was used for input of the net, and optimized value of turn angles of learned mobile robot was output. By using neural network algorithm, possibility of mobile robot moving to the target point and following the guidlines quickly and effectively was proved.

This paper presents a new local obstacle avoidance method for indoor mobile robots. The method uses a new directional approach called the Lane Method. The Lane Method is combined with a velocity space method i.e., the Curvature-Velocity Method to form the Lane-Curvature Method (LCM). The Lane Method divides the work area into lanes, and then chooses the best lane to follow to optimize travel along a desired goal heading. A local heading is then calculated for entering and following the best lane, and CVM uses this local heading to determine the optimal translational and rotational velocities, considering some physical limitations and environmental constraint. By combining both the directional and velocity space methods, LCM yields safe collision-free motion as well as smooth motion taking the physical limitations of the robot motion into account.

본 논문에서는 차량이 자동으로 도로를 추적하는 자율주행을 실현하기 위한 선행조건으로서 자기차선의 자장으로부터 차량의 위치와 방향을 추정하기 위한 시스템을 제안한다. 자기차선에 사용되는 원통형 영구자석인 단일자기원에 자기 쌍극자 모델이 적용될 수 있음을 검증하기 위해서 자기센서를 이용하여 위치에 따른 원형 영구자석 자장의 3축 성분을 측정하고 실험 데이터를 자기 쌍극자 모델과 비교하였다. 실험 데이터를 기반으로 한 모델을 이용하여 자장의 3축 성분에 의하여 센서의 위치를 추정할 수 있음을 보인다. 단일 자기원에 검증된 자기 쌍극자 모델을 자기차선으로 확장하고, 센서의 위치와 방향에 따른 자장의 3축 성분의 실험 데이터를 획득한다. 실험 데이터의 맵핑을 이용하여 자장의 3축 성분에 따른 센서의 위치와 방향을 추정한다. 자기차선 상에서 차량의 위치와 센서를 제안된 방법에 의해 추정하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 차선추적에 적용한다.
