In order to protect occupant during car crash accident, Regulation and NCAP(New Car assessment Program) have been developed among various countries like U.S.A., Europe, Korea and Australia. Especially NCAP scores affect to sales of vehicles. So vehicle makers are trying to get good score in NCAP. Low leg injuries play an important role in Australia and Euro NCAP and these injuries are related with footrest design. Optimization of footrest design in early stage of vehicle development is necessary to obtain better and robust results of low legs during crash tests. In this paper, DFSS method and finite element model were used to optimize the low leg performance in small RHD vehicles. Compared with the lower leg injury of base model, the lower leg injury of proposed model was slightly improved and robustness was enhanced also.

Recently, ultrafine particles emitted from internal combustion engine is main concern because of its well known adverse health effects. So Europe decided to start the regulation about diesel engine particle number emissions. The nanoparticles smaller than 50nm in diameter have the ability to penetrate deep into interstitial tissue of luge, where they may cause severe respiratory inflammation and acute pulmonary toxicity. Recent studies have showed that spark ignition engines emit particles number concentration comparable to those from diesel engines with DPF under high load and rich mixture conditions, including cold starts and acceleration. So this study investigated emission characteristics of ultrafine particles according to fuel injection type in gasoline vehicles and LPG vehicles. The test vehicles were tested on CVS-75 and NEDC vehicle test mode using the chassis dynamometer, CPC system applied as a particle measuring instrument at the end of dilution tunnel. As a result, the correlation between fuel injection type and particulate emission was determined. GDI vehicle emitted 10 times higher particles than PFI vehicles, and compared to Mixer and LPGI type LPG vehicle, LPLI vehicle emitted particles high.

Regulation for the testing and operation of autonomous vehicles on public roadways has been recently developed all over the world. For example, the licensing standards and the evaluation technology for autonomous vehicles have been proposed in California, Nevada and EU. But specific safety evaluation scenarios for autonomous vehicles have not been proposed yet. This paper presents safety evaluation scenarios for extraordinary service permission of autonomous vehicles on highways. A total of five scenarios are selected in consideration of safety priority and real traffic situation. These scenarios are developed based on existing ADAS evaluation and simulation of autonomous vehicle algorithm. Also, Safety evaluation factors are developed based on ISO requirements, other papers and the current traffic regulations. These scenarios are investigated via computer simulation.

With the recent issuance of a dynamic side impact test regulation in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard in the United States of America, many aspects of occupant protection in side impact crashes have been under investigation. Many investigations of real world accidents, crash test results and simulation studies have established that in side impact crashes of passenger cars, thoracic and pelvic injuries of occupant are, large part, caused by occupants' impact against the interior side of the vehicle, primarily the door. This paper is concerned with the development of a lumped mass computer model, which simulates the interaction of a struck car door and an adjacent seated occupant in side impacr, based CTP code which has been successfully used in vehicle and occupant simulation. New model developments include elimination of influence of vehicle side structure stiffness in the occupant injury responses. The model was used to investigated the effect of various door padding characteristics on occupant responses to improve vehicle safety performance. The evaluation of different crush properties of door padding have also focused to understand of behavior of impacted occupant. Results from simulations, The effects of both material coefficients $C_{f}$ and p were illustrated in terms of occupant injury criteria TTI and pelvis.

Recently, increasing usage of diesel vehicle, many countries try to reduce the pollutant materials by emission regulation standard. Particularly in our country, the supplement ration of diesel vehicle is high, and air pollution by vehicle exhaust gas is very serious. So, in study, we tested exhaust gas by various mode in-light duty diesel engine. Therefore, we can know about NOx and smoke seriousness.

An electric vehicle uses the system to a power source whether it limps a high efficiency, without environmental pollution It coincides the best at the 21th century environmental regulation and energy frugality. The motor control system using DC-DC converter is carried out in this study. The Present control system is structured the better condition than that of the AC-DC converter with DC-AC inverter. Further, a vehicle dynamics analysis is peformed for the case of Mini-Baja it is found that the analysis dynamic system for the Mini-Baja gives a good design parameters.

The demand of diesel engine on the construction equipment has been rapidly increased because of high thermal efficiency and fuel economy. The exhaust emission from nonroad vehicles equipped with diesel engine such as construction equipment, ship, and agricultural equipment, etc. Which are known to be harmful to human health and environment, has not been regulated in our country. But the regulation for nonroad vehicle has been already progressed in advanced country. So we investigated the contribution ratio of air pollution by construction equipment in order to establish the exhaust emission management strategy for nonroad vehicle. Based on the statistical data for construction equipment, 5 kinds of equipment are selected and tested in the engine dynamometer to determine the emission factor. And the amount of air pollutant from construction equipment are calculated by using of the emission factor and recommended exhaust emission standard for construction equipment.

This paper proposes a method of localization of vehicle especially the horizontal position for the purpose of recognizing the driving lane. Through tracking road signs, the relative position between the vehicle and the sign is calculated and the absolute position is obtained using the known information from the regulation for installation. The proposed method uses Kalman filter for road sign tracking and analyzes the motion using the pinhole camera model. In order to classify the road sign, ORB(Oriented fast and Rotated BRIEF) features from the input image and DB are matched. From the absolute position of the vehicle, the driving lane is recognized. The Experiments are performed on videos from the highway driving and the results shows that the proposed method is able to compensate the common GPS localization errors.

Automobiles become indispensable to our lives of modern days, however, their abrupt increase causes environmental problems. Relevant regulations domestically and internationally, therefore, have been discussed and reinforced for tackling those problems. The current test methods such as ISO 362 which have been adopted in many countries need to be reviewed to be effective, considering the changes in automobile techniques and road conditions. This research is aimed at providing counter-plans for the expected new measures by analyzing both the current and new test methods.

As a part of stringent emission regulations, OBD on a converter is requested by EU and CARB. It demands that MIL is light-on to inform the failure to the driver when the converter is failed in its function. Usually dual oxygen sensor method is used for converter OBD. For this, detail methods, like amplitude ratio, time delay and frequency ratio methods are adapted for vehicle application. Actually, the cars produced later than MY94 for US market are using one of these methods. In this study, OSCs of converters are investigated with an absolute measuring method. The converters are aged with a furnace aging, an engine bench aging and vehicle aging method to represent various aging condition in field applications. An OBD index that is used for TLEVs regulation is also investigated to find a relation between two parameters. The relations of these parameters with THC emission on vehicle are evaluated.
