In this paper, we propose a novel motion field estimation algorithm for which a U-disparity map and forward-and-backward error removal are applied in a vehicular environment. Generally, a motion exists in an image obtained by a camera attached to a vehicle by vehicle movement; however, the obtained motion vector is inaccurate because of the surrounding environmental factors such as the illumination changes and vehicles shaking. It is, therefore, difficult to extract an accurate motion vector, especially on the road surface, due to the similarity of the adjacent-pixel values; therefore, the proposed algorithm first removes the road surface region in the obtained image by using a U-disparity map, and uses then the optical flow that represents the motion vector of the object in the remaining part of the image. The algorithm also uses a forward-backward error-removal technique to improve the motion-vector accuracy and a vehicle's movement is predicted through the application of the RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus) to the previously obtained motion vectors, resulting in the generation of a motion field. Through experiment results, we show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of an existing algorithm.

PURPOSES: This study aims to evaluate the effects of vehicle dynamic behaviors on ride quality. METHODS : Simulation and field test were conducted to analyze the behavior of a driving vehicle. The simulation program CarSIM was applied and an INS (Inertial Navigation System) was used for field experiments. A small simulator was developed to simulate vehicle behavior such as roll, pitch, and bounce. The panels evaluated the ride quality in five stages from "very satisfied"to "very dissatisfied."Experiments were conducted on a total of 144 cases of vehicle behavior combinations. RESULTS :In both simulation and field tests, pitch is the largest and yaw the smallest. Especially in the field test, the amount of yaw is very low, about 7% of pitch and 18% of roll. The sensitive and extensive analysis conducted related ride quality with changing the frequency and amplitude. It was found that the most sensitive frequency range is 8 Hz across all amplitudes. Moreover, the combination of the roll and bounce was most sensitive to the ride quality at the low-frequency range. CONCLUSIONS : This result show that the vertical vehicle behavior (bounce) as well as the rotational behavior (roll and pitch) are highly correlated with ride quality. Therefore, it is expected that a more reasonable roughness index can be developed through a combination of vertical and rotational vehicle behavior.

본 연구에서는 도로의 건설 시간 및 유지관리 비용을 단축하기 위하여 제안된 지속가능한 장수명 모듈러 도로시스템의 하부구조인 지지 모듈러의 성능을 평가하였다. 하부 곡선면을 가진 Cross-Beam 형태의 지지 모듈러 4개로 구성된 모듈러 도로시스템을 Test-bed에 시공하였다. 6개의 하중계와 8개의 변위계를 중앙부 2개 Cross-Beam 형태의 지지 모듈러에 설치하였다. 2개의 하중, 50kN, 100kN을 도로 포장슬래브 15개 지점에 재하하여 모듈러 도로시스템에서 발생하는 하중 및 변위를 측정하였다. 측정된 변위들은 1mm 미만으로 실제 도로의 안정성에 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다. 현장실험에서 적용된 2개의 재하 하중들과 측정된 하중값들을 비교해 보았을 때 하부 지반에 전달되는 하중은 매우 작은 것으로 판단된다. 지지 모듈러를 가진 모듈러 도로 시스템을 실제 도로현장에 적용 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 대단위 연약지반 조성지역에서 도로를 건설할 때 노체층까지 다짐시공 후 압밀처리기 간완료에 따른 여성토를 제거하고 노상층을 시공하므로 공사비용, 시간, 현장관리 등의 문제점을 개선하고자 하였다. 노상층을 연약지반 개량 전에 선시공하여 여성고에 포함시키고 압밀침하 완료 후 선시공된 노상층의 다짐도 유지유무를 현장시험을 통하여 확인하였다. 실험결과, 제 1노상층을 제외한 모든 노상층은 일정하게 유지되었다. 따라서 제 1노상층을 제외하고 시공한다면 도로건설에서 경제적 시공성을 확보하는 것이 유리한 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : This study supports the evidence that it is possible to rehabilitate a damaged pavement with a lane closure specifically based on the Gimcheon~Sunsan project. METHODS : The prediction results from the simulation programs were compared with field monitoring, which focused on traffic management planning, congestion (length, time, and passing speed), bypass, and user cost, among others. RESULTS : The research results showed that lane closure application and pavement repair of the aged pavement in Korea were possible, even though the prediction results were minimally different from the field monitoring. The road agency contributes to service life extension of the rehabilitated pavement using this method. CONCLUSIONS : A marginal effect caused by the lane closure was observed on travelling users or vehicles, and the user cost of pavement repair decreased. Therefore, introducing the repair method or rehabilitation in Korea is possible. Information dissemination through various media was properly done to execute the project well. Moreover, the construction area traffic utilized nearby alternative roads. Therefore, improving the repaired pavemen's service life while ensuring that the pavement management agency can provide a road with comfortable user riding quality was possible.

This paper is. a study on relation between road traffic noise(RTN) and sound power level(PWL). At present, many experimental formulae and prediction formulae are used for prediction of RTN. But these formulae are difficult to appiy to the metropolitan area because these formulae are inaccurate in the different condition from reference condition. This paper calculate RTN and PWL of each prediction formula, choose the best one and make a noise map of the subject area. Procedure is as follows. First, calculate $L_{eq}$ of RTN using experimental formulae and prediction formulae. Second, calculate PWL using $L_{eq}$ of RTN and distance attenuation for point source at semi-free field. Third, choose the most accurate formula. And finally, make a noise map of the subject area at present and future. The result using noise map will be able to apply to application field. Noise mapping tool used on this paper is Raynoise program using Ray Tracing Method(RTM), Mirror Image Source Method(MISM) and Hybrid Method(HM).

Installing noise barriers is the most common method for reducing the highway traffic noise to the road side residential area. After the report about edge potential concept of a noise barrier, various types of noise reducing devices(NRDs) called "noise reducers" have been suggested for getting more shielding effect on the top of highway noise barriers. But, it has been doubtful about effect of the NRDs in field because there was no appropriate and unified method to estimate the acoustic performance by using field measurement of the NRDs in Korea. In this study, the authors have considered to setup a practical method to test and estimate the acoustic performance of NRDs. For eliminating the noise reduction effect of the NRDs height itself, the source and measuring points are adjusted as highly as the NRDs height. For the frequency weighting in the estimation of the NRDs effect, the highway noise spectra were measured at asphalt and concrete road side and then averaged for a unit spectral parameter.

Geology conditions are crucial in decision-making during the planning and design phase of a tunnel project. Estimation of the geology conditions of road tunnels is subject to significant uncertainties. In this work, the effectiveness of a novel regression method in estimating geological or geotechnical parameters of road tunnel projects was explored. This method, called Gaussian process regression (GPR), formulates the learning of the regressor within a Bayesian framework. The GPR model was trained with data of old tunnel projects. To verify its feasibility, the GPR technique was applied to a road tunnel to predict the state of three geological/geomechanical parameters of Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Rock Structure Rating (RSR) and Q-value. Finally, in order to validate the GPR approach, the forecasted results were compared to the field-observed results. From this comparison, it was concluded that, the GPR is presented very good predictions. The R-squared values between the predicted results of the GPR vs. field-observed results for the RMR, RSR and Q-value were obtained equal to 0.8581, 0.8148 and 0.8788, respectively.

최근 자율주행 자동차 기술의 발전으로 정밀도로지도에 대한 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 정밀도로지도는 차선 정보, 규제 안전 정보, 각종 도로 시설물 등이 표현된 디지털 지도로 MMS(Mobile Mapping System) 기반으로 시험 제작되어 왔지만 이 방법은 고가의 도입비용으로 크게 활성화되지 못하고 있다. 하지만 무인항공기의 경우 적용 분야가 지속적으로 늘어나고 있으며, 이에 대한 연구도 다양한 분야에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도 무인항공기 영상의 처리를 통해 자율주행에 필요한 차선, 시설물 등의 정보를 추출하고자 하였다. 자율주행 자동차 시험도로를 연구대상지로 선정하고, 무인항공기를 이용하여 고해상도 정사영상을 제작하였다. 기존의 수치지형도와 정밀도로지도의 속성비교를 통해 정밀도로지도 제작을 위한 차선, 중앙분리대, 제어기 등의 추출 항목을 선정하였다. 또한 영상분류를 통해 차선, 중앙분리대, 제어기 등 정밀도로지도 구축을 위한 데이터를 효과적으로 추출함으로써 고해상도 정사영상의 활용성을 제시하였다. 추가적인 실험과 검증을 통해 무인항공기 영상의 이용 분야를 확대할 수 있을 것이며, 구축된 데이터를 자동차 제작사 및 관련 민 관 기관, 벤처 기업 등에 제공한다면 국내 자율주행차 기술 발전에 기여할 것이다.
