여러 대의 자율주행 차량이 하나의 그룹을 형성하여 주행하는 군집주행은 미래 고속도로 교통 시스템의 핵심 기술이다. 이러한 군집주행에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 상황에서의 안전을 고려하는 일은 단독 자율 주행에서의 경우보다 더 어렵다. 다양한 군집주행의 안전 위협 요인 중, 의도하지 않은 동작으로부터 자율주행 차량의 안전성을 향상하는 방법을 가이드하기 위하여 새로운 표준 ISO/PAS 21448이 제정되었다. 본 논문에서는 ISO/PAS 21448 표준이 다루는 시나리오를 통해 군집주행에서 발생할 수 있는 의도하지 않은 상황의 극복을 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 특히 군집주행 시뮬레이터인 VENTOS를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법이 안전한 군집주행이라는 목표를 달성할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In platoon driving, several autonomous vehicles communicate to exchange information with each other and drive in a single cluster. The platooning technology has various advantages such as increasing road traffic, reducing energy consumption and pollutant emission by driving in short distance between vehicles. However, the short distance makes it more difficult to cope with an emergency accident, and accordingly, it is difficult to ensure the safety of platoon driving, which must be secured. In particular, the unexpected situation, i.e., variability that may appear during driving can adversely affect the safety of platoon driving. Because such variability is difficult to predict and reproduce, preparing safety guards to prevent risks arising from variability is a challenging work. In this paper, we studied a simulation method to avoid the risk due to the variability that may occur while platoon driving. In order to simulate safe platoon driving, we develop diverse scenarios considering the variability, design and apply safety guards to handle the variability, and extends the detail functions of VENTOS, an open source platooning simulator. Based on the simulation results, we have confirmed that the risks caused form the variability can be removed, and safe platoon driving is possible. We believe that our simulation approach will contribute to research and development to ensure safety in platoon driving.
