In this study, speed survey has been conducted on Pusan Freeway to identify actual running speed. therefore, suggest that Highway Design Regulations and Highway Design Standard from Ministry of Construction and Transportation, which requires stopping sight distance for 20% less speed when rainy condition in accordance with Highway Safety Act, is not coincident with driver's characteristics. Consequently, it is prudent to compute stopping sight distance with 85th percentile running speed, considering driver's actual behavior and mountainous terrain.

This paper performs flow analysis of ultra-high speed vehicle inside the long distance tunnel. One and three dimensional hybrid mesh was used for describing moving motion and flow analysis of an vehicle inside a long distance tunnel which over 20 km. Flow analysis and aerodynamic drag measuring were performed by three dimensional mesh: around vehicle, and pressure waves of a tunnel was measured by one dimensional mesh: the other region where rare changing of flow pattern.

This study deals with actual commuting distance and influence of risk factors depending on commuting distance and mode in order to reestablish actual commuting zone of primary school students. Data mining analysis(CHAID) was applied for this reestablishment using survey results from 6,927 primary school students in Seoul Metro. Six risk factors; convenience level of commuting path condition, convenience level of road crossing condition, vehicle speed on commuting path, segregation level between commuter and vehicle, congestion level of commuting path, and public security level and two mode; walking and cycle are considered in the analysis. As the results of CHAID analysis, commuting distance was divided into four zones; Internal Zone(0.491km under), External Zone(0.492 ~ 1.492km, 1.493 ~ 2.699km), Commutable Zone(2.70km over), and awareness level on safety is declined as commuting distance is increased. The risk factor affecting on safety is recognized differently by students depending on commuting distance and mode. For students commuting by walking, vehicle speed on commuting path and convenience level of commuting path condition are recognized as the prime risk factor within Internal Zone and Commutable Zone, respectively. For students commuting by cycle, convenience level of road crossing condition and vehicle speed on commuting path are recognized as the prime risk factor within Commutable Zone. Analysis results show that improved plan and program for commuting path for primary school students are required considering actual commuting distance and method.

In this paper, we propose an image processing based method to measure red-time and green-time backward moving shockwave speed automatically at signalized intersections. Shockwave means the discontinuous boundary line between different vehicle traffic flows, and its moving speed is called shockwave speed which is obtain from the slope of boundary line. In this paper, we compose distance-time diagram for measuring shockwave speed automatically. By global vehicle tracking, we draw all of the vehicle moving path on distance-time diagram. We analyze the slope change pattern of curved moving path line, and compute red-time and green-time backward moving shockwave speed. We obtain the measurement result of shockwave speed, when applying above mentioned proposed method to experiment at signalized intersections, Once we can measure the shockwave speed, we could apply the result to highway ramp metering and automatic signal control at intersections effectively since we know the situation of frontal congestion easily.

This paper proposes a vehicle speed detector with anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors and addresses experimental results to show the performance of the detector. The detector consists of two AMR sensors and mechanical and electronic apparatuses. The AMR sensor senses disturbance of the earth magnetic field caused by a vehicle moving over the sensor and then produces an output indicative of the moving vehicle. In this paper, vehicle speeds are calculated by using two AMR sensors built on a board. The speed of a vehicle is calculated by dividing the known distance between the two sensors with the time difference between two output signals from each sensor, captured sequentially while the vehicle is driving over the sensors. Some field tests have been carried to show the performance of the proposed detector and its usefulness.

This paper presents an algorithm for recognizing and tracking a vehicle at a distance using a monocular camera installed at the center of the windshield of a vehicle to operate an autonomous vehicle in a racing. The vehicle is detected using the Haar feature, and the size and position of the vehicle are determined by detecting the shadows at the bottom of the vehicle. The region around the recognized vehicle is determined as ROI (Region Of Interest) and the vehicle shadow within the ROI is found and tracked in the next frame. Then the position, relative speed and direction of the vehicle are predicted. Experimental results show that the vehicle is recognized with a recognition rate of over 90% at a distance of more than 100 meters.

In this study, Speed-sensitive vehicle brake using the LED, When the driver presses the brake pedal, range step while being turned in connection taillights brake of the vehicle, such as speed-sensitive vehicle brake using the LED, It is turned on according to the deceleration of the vehicle to be series of points are displayed. The rear vehicle can prevent collision about an abrupt stop of preceding vehicle by perceiving deceleration state of preceding vehicle easier and faster. Also, if the inter-vehicle distance by using an ultrasonic sensor is closer than a certain distance, the emergency light turns on to convey the situation to the driver of the rear vehicle with a buzzer.

The vehicle collision speed in mid and high range can be checked by EDM(Event Driven memory) data recorded when the air bag works. But it's difficult to estimate the low speed of vehicle collision. And estimating the speed is important because the injury level can be changed by the impact speed. The study proposed an estimating algorithm by analysing the images recorded in car blackbox instrument. Low speed rear collision accidents simulated with wire winding motor for various vehicle types. The study estimated the impact speed with the ratio of the distance change between two vehicles and the length change of the number plate of front vehicle. The closer the vehicles are, the larger the plate length is. You can estimate the impact speed with the ratio. The impact speed is calculated with the initial distance for a specific length of number plate in the algorithm. The results can be applied to the linear rear collision because the angle of impact was not considered in this study.

Cruise control is a technology for automatically maintaining a steady speed of vehicle as set by the driver via controlling throttle valve and brake of vehicle. In this paper we investigate cruise controller design method with consideration for distance to vehicle ahead. We employ linear time varying (LTV) model to describe longitudinal vehicle dynamic motion. With this LTV system we approximately model the nonlinear dynamics of vehicle speed by frequent update of the system parameters. In addition we reformulate the LTV system by transforming distance to leading vehicle into variation of system parameters of the model. Note that in conventional control problem formulation this distance is considered as disturbance which should be rejected. Consequently a controller can be designed by pole placement at each instance of parameter update, based on the linear model with the present system parameters. The validity of this design method is examined by simulation study.

The main function of the Forward Vehicle Collision Warning System (FVCWS) is to warn a driver when he or she experiences dangerous situations caused by a forward vehicle. Warning distance algorithms under same dangerous circumstances are often various depending on automobile manufacturers and component suppliers. Human factors also should be considered to warn the driver at an adequate warning distance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system for evaluating the pertinent warning timing in an identically dangerous situation. The system consists of sensors for measuring speed and acceleration of subject vehicle and target vehicle, controllers to follow the velocity profile properly, and wireless telecommunication equipments for receiving or transmitting the measured data in a real-time. According to actual field tests, it is shown that the developed system is suitable to evaluate warning distance of FVCWS.
