  • With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution era, interest in autonomous driving technology is increasing. Accordingly it is necessary to seek safe driving by recognizing surrounding situations using sensors attached to autonomous vehicles along with the applicability of existing traffic facilities to autonomous driving lanes and the utilization of HD maps. In this study, in order to deduce the role of sensor only physical facilities which recognized through a laser scanner on an autonomous vehicle developed to improve road and traffic infrastructure, through comparative analysis with existing road facilities such as road signs, safety signs, and gaze guidance facilities. Sign facilities can promote driving safety by allowing autonomous vehicles to perform specific actions directly. In order to promote safe driving by recognizing sign facilities by using sensors for autonomous vehicles, it is necessary to prepare standards for installation, management, and use, and it is considered that management and supervision should be carried out continuously according to the standards.

  • Northeast Asia has a multi-layered security structure within which major economic and military powers both confront one another and cooperate at the same time. Major regional powers maintain mutually cooperative activities in the economic sphere while competing one another in order to secure a dominant position in the politico-military arena. The multifarious threats, posed by the North Korea's nuclear development, territorial disputes, and maritime demarcation line issues demonstrate that Northeast Asia suffers more from military conflicts and strifes than any other region in the world. Specifically, major maritime security threats include North Korea's nuclear proliferation and missile launching problems as well as military provocations nearby the Northern Limit Line(NLL) as witnessed in the Cheonan naval ship and Yeonpyong incidents. The ROK Navy has been supplementing its firm military readiness posture in consideration of North Korea's threats on the NLL. It has performed superb roles in defending the nation and establishing the Navy advanced and best picked. It also has been conducive to defend the nation from external military threats and invasion, secure the sea lanes of communications, and establish regional stability and world peace. In order to effectively cope with the strategic environment and future warfares, the ROK Navy needs to shift its military structure to one that is more information and technology intensive. In addition, it should consolidate the ROK-US alliance and extend military cooperative measures with neighboring countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Evolved steadily for the last 60 years, the ROK-US alliance format has contributed to peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the Northeast Asian region. In conclusion, this manuscript contends that the ROK Navy should strive for the establishment of the following: (1) Construction of Jeju Naval Base; (2) Strategic Navy Equipped with War Deterrence Capabilities; (3) Korean-type of System of Systems; (4) Structure, Budget and Human Resources of the Naval Forces Similar to the Advanced Countries; and (5) Strategic Maritime Alliance and Alignment System as well as Domestic Governance Network for the Naval Families.

  • Algorithms for predicting the optimal route of vehicles are being actively sudied with the recent development of autonomous driving technology. Companies such as SK, Kakao, and Naver provide services that navigate the optimal route. They predicts the optimal path with information from the users in real time. However, they can predict the optimal route, but not optimal lane route. We proposes a system that navigates the optimal lane path with coordinates data from vehicles using Lidar sensor. The proposed method is a system that guides smooth lanes by acquiring time series coordinate data of a vehicle after performing the Lidar-based object detection method. we demonstrates the performance using actual acquired data from the experimental results.

  • Urban freeway is defined as the roadway with 4 lanes or more which requires a high design criteria for handling a large capacity of vehicles rapidly as a high-speed exclusive roadway in the city. However, most of the urban freeways suffer from severe traffic congestion due to the increased traffic exceeding their capacities regardless of the morning and afternoon rushhours or the inbound and outbound directions. The purpose in this study is to collect and investigate the real-time traffic characteristics based on the ramp junction influence areas of the urban freeway connected with the Busan port, compare and analyze the traffic characteristic relationship for each lane within the ramp junction influence areas, and finally assess and suggest the optimal capacity for each lane within the ramp junction influence areas.

  • Uninterrupted facility - since there is a close relationship between traffic volume, speed and density -, when a ramp traffic flow merges into the main line, will change the traffic speed or density, and the corresponding correlational model equation will be changed. Thus, this study, using time and space-series traffic data on areas under the influence of such a merging, identified sections which changed the correlation between speed and density variables, and examined such changes. As a result, the upstream and merging sections showed the "Underwood"-shaped exponent, and the downstream after passing the merging section showed a straight line "Greenshields" model. The downstream section which changed the correlation between speed and density showed a gradual downstream movement phenomenon within 100 m-500 m from the end of the third lane linking with the ramp, as the traffic approached the inner lanes. Also, the upstream section, merging section, and downstream section involving a change showed heterogeneous traffic flows which, in the speed-density model, have a statistically different free flow speed (constant) and a different ratio of free flow speed to jam density (gradient).

  • Currently, in Korea, a multi-seater lane (HOV) and a designated lane system are being implemented to solve traffic congestion. However, in both systems, it is difficult to crack down on cases of violations without permission, so people are required to be assigned to areas that want to crack down. In this process, manpower and budget are inefficiently consumed. To compensate for these shortcomings, we propose the development of an integrated enforcement system through YOLO, a deep learning object recognition model. If the two systems are implemented and integrated using YOLO, they will have advantages in terms of manpower and budget over existing systems because only data learning and system maintenance are considered. In addition, in the case of violations in which it is difficult for the existing unmanned system to crack down, the effect of increasing the crackdown rate through continuous learning can be expected.

  • This paper proposes a method to recognize and track drivable lane areas to assist the driver. The main topic is designing a deep-based network that predicts drivable road areas using computer vision and deep learning technology based on images acquired in real time through a camera installed in the center of the windshield inside the vehicle. This study aims to develop a new model trained with data directly obtained from cameras using the YOLO algorithm. It is expected to play a role in assisting the driver's driving by visualizing the exact location of the vehicle on the actual road consistent with the actual image and displaying and tracking the drivable lane area. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to track the drivable road area in most cases, but in bad weather such as heavy rain at night, there were cases where lanes were not accurately recognized, so improvement in model performance is needed to solve this problem.

  • This study conducted over two rounds Delphi survey targeting experts in the fields of roads, transportation, automobiles, intelligent transport systems(ITS), and communications to analyze the direction of change in road design, operation, and systems in the Lv.4/4+ autonomous driving era. To construct the Delphi survey items, a basic survey was conducted. The first and second Delphi surveys targeted experts in fields closely related to autonomous driving. The results of the survey revealed an expectation that in the future, transportation operations would change focus to shared autonomous vehicle(AV) and public transportation transfers, and there would be corresponding changes in the cross-sectional configuration. Exclusive lanes for AV are expected to be introduced commencing from highways and general national roads, and there was a consensus that they should be installed in the center of the road rather than on the sides and would use the same lane width as that of the existing road. In terms of facilities for AVs, it was found that it would be necessary to expand pedestrian-vehicle separation facilities, insert communication chips into facilities for location recognition, advance precision maps, and expand roadside communication facilities.

  • In this study, the capacity of the tunnel and the general section was calculated and compared using the VDS detector data, and the decrease rate in capacity of the tunnel section was analyzed by tunnel type. To compare the capacity of the tunnel and the general section, the Product Limit Method (PLM) was applied to the VDS detector data. As a result of comparing the capacity of the tunnel and general section, the capacity of the tunnel section decreased by about 6.5% compared to the general section. To classify the tunnel type, the tunnel extension and the number of lanes were used as variables, and there was a difference in the decrease rate of capacity by tunnel group classified by each criterion.

  • The longing for submarine manufacture and the fear of her power had exited for a long time, but submarine that could submerge and attack was built from 20th century by science technology development. The question, 'Submarine can exercise her power in naval warfare?' had exited before World War I, but the effective value of submarine was shown in the procedure of a chain of naval warfare during World War I and World War II. Germany and the United States made the best use of submarines at that time. The submarines of these nations mounted fierce attack on the enemy's battleships and merchant ships and blocked the sea lanes for war material. These fierce attack on ships became impossible After World War II, and the major powers reduced and coordinated the defence budget, so they considered the role of submarine. However, submarine is still powerful weapon system because she can secretly navigate under the water, and one of the most important force in the navy. The aim of this thesis is analyzing submarine roles in each naval warfare and integrating maritime strategy and weapon system technology into her roles. First, the research about represent submarine roles like anti-surfaceship warfare, anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, land attack, supporting special operation and mine landing warfare will be presented, then the major naval warfare where submarine participated(during ex-World War I, World War I, World War II, The Cold War Era and post Cold War) and the analyzing of submarine roles by time will be presented. Submarine was developed for anti-surfaceship warfare during ex-World War I but could not make remarkable military gain in naval warfare because her performance and weapon was inadequate. However, the effective value of submarine in the procedure of a chain of naval warfare was shown during World War I and World War II. The major powers put battleships into naval warfare undiscriminatingly to command the sea power and submarines did massive damage to enemy navy power, so put a restraint the maritime power of enemy, and blocked the sea lanes for war material. After World War II, the battlefield situation changed rapidly and the concept of preemption became difficult to apply in naval warfare. Therefore, the submarine was unable to concentrate on anti-surfaceship mission. Especially during the Cold War era, nuclear submarine came to appear and her weapon system developed rapidly. These development gave submarines special missions: anti-submarine warfare and intelligence gathering. At that time, United States and Soviet submarines tracked other nation's submarines loaded with nuclear weapons and departing from naval their base. The submarines also collected information on the volume of ships and a coastal missile launching site in company with this mission. After Cold War, the major powers despatched forces to major troubled regions to maintain world peace, their submarines approached the shores of these regions and attacked key enemy installations with cruise missiles. At that time, the United States eased the concept of preemption and made the concept of Bush doctrine because of possible 911 terrorism. The missiles fired from submarines and surface battleships accurately attacked key enemy installations. Many nations be strategically successful depending on what kind of mission a submarine is assigned. The patterns of future naval warfare that my country will provide against will be military power projection and coalition/joint operations. These suggest much more about what future missions we should assign to submarines.
