국내 육상교통망의 중추적인 역할을 하는 고속도로는 $7{\times}9$ 형태로 양적, 질적 성장을 거듭하고 있다. 점차 복잡해지는 고속도로 기하구조에 대응하고자 차로유도선을 설치하여 운전자들의 보다 원활한 차로 변경을 유도하고 있으나 해당 시설의 설치기준이 부재하고, 그 효과 검증 또한 제한적으로 시행되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 도로주행 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 주행안전성 측면에서 차로유도선의 효과를 재조명하고, 적정 연장 설치기준을 수립하는데 주된 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이를 위해, 피험자의 선호도를 조사하고, 가상의 주행환경에서 운전자의 차로 변경 행태를 분석하였다. 또한, 피험자가 차로변경 시 느끼는 편안함 정도를 계량화하기 위해 뇌파분석을 실시하였고, 도출된 결과에 대한 통계적 검증을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 차로유도선 설치기준 수립 시 기반자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

PURPOSES: This study analyzes feasibility for application white pavement markings in the roadways with median barrier. METHODS : By reviewing numerous relevant laws, standards, and operational cases, the white pavement markings' excellence was demonstrated. Driver's behavior was analyzed through a virtual driving experiment using driving simulator and field tests. RESULTS:First, white pavement markings are superior to yellow pavement markings in terms of visibility, economics, and safety. Second, as a result of virtual driving experiment, the color of line in the roadway with median barrier didn't affect the driver's behavior such as the average vehicle speed, the distance bias in the lane and the separation distance from the centerline. Third, field test demonstrated that the driver tended to recognize the median barrier as an obstacle. In addition, the central driving ratio in the lane was increased due to improving the visibility of line at night in case of the white pavement markings. CONCLUSIONS : The application of white pavement markings in the roadways with median barrier can enhance traffic safety by improving the visibility of line at night.

PURPOSES : The use of virtual driving tests to determine actual road driving behavior is increasing. However, the results indicate a gap between real and virtual driving under same road conditions road based on ergonomic factors, such as anxiety and speed. In the future, the use of virtual driving tests is expected to increase. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to analyze the gap between real and virtual driving on same road conditions and to use a calibration formula to allow for higher reliability of virtual driving tests. METHODS : An intelligent driving recorder was used to capture real driving. A driving simulator was used to record virtual driving. Additionally, a virtual driving map was made with the UC-Win/Road software. We gathered data including geometric structure information, driving information, driver information, and road operation information for real driving and virtual driving on the same road conditions. In this study we investigated a range of gaps, driving speeds, and lateral positions, and introduced a calibration formula to the virtual record to achieve the same record as the real driving situation by applying the effects of the main causes of discrepancy between the two (driving speed and lateral position) using a linear regression model. RESULTS: In the virtual driving test, driving speed and lateral position were determined to be higher and bigger than in the real Driving test, respectively. Additionally, the virtual driving test reduces the concentration, anxiety, and reality when compared to the real driving test. The formula includes four variables to produce the calibration: tangent driving speed, curve driving speed, tangent lateral position, and curve lateral position. However, the tangent lateral position was excluded because it was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The results of analyzing the formula from MPB (mean prediction bias), MAD (mean absolute deviation) is after applying the formula to the virtual driving test, similar to the real driving test so that the formula works. Because this study was conducted on a national, two-way road, the road speed limit was 80 km/h, and the lane width was 3.0-3.5 m. It works in the same condition road restrictively.

In this study, the driving performances of elderly who's age is over 65 were evaluated. The driving simulation was conducted using a compact driving simulation (CDS) and the simulation scenarios were developed from actual roads by replicating geometry of skewed intersection and traffic control devices located in Jungnang-gu, Seoul, Korea. 27 elderly drivers and 10 non-elderly drivers were recruited and participated on the virtual turning right and going straight driving experiment of CDS. Virtual driving data of driving time, speed, distance, acceleration and deceleration speeds, brake power, and steering wheel rotation angle were recorded and analyzed. Generally, elderly driver took more times to pass through the skewed intersection road and showed lower approaching speed as much as 40% and 25% in case of turning right and going straight scenarios respectively. The speed deviation at skewed intersection road between elderly and non-elderly driver is expected to cause frequent lane changes and overtaking.

For decades, simulation technique has been well validated in areas such as computer and communication systems. Recently, the technique has been much used in the area of transportation and traffic forecasting. Several methods have been proposed for investigating complex traffic flows. However, the dynamics of vehicles and diversities of driver characteristics have never been considered sufficiently in these methods, although they are considered important factors in traffic flow analysis. In this paper, we propose a traffic simulation tool called Multi-Agent for Traffic Simulation with Vehicle Dynamics Model (MATDYMO). Road transport consultants, traffic engineers and urban traffic control center managers are expected to use MATDYMO to efficiently simulate traffic flow. MATDYMO has four sub systems: the road management system, the vehicle motion control system, the driver management system, and the integration control system. The road management system simulates traffic flow for various traffic environments (e.g., multi-lane roads, nodes, virtual lanes, and signals); the vehicle motion control system constructs the vehicle agent by using various vehicle dynamic models; the driver management system constructs the driver agent capable of having different driving styles; and lastly, the integrated control system regulates the MATDYMO as a whole and observes the agents running in the system. The vehicle motion control system and driver management system are described in the companion paper. An interrupted and uninterrupted flow model were simulated, and the simulation results were verified by comparing them with the results from a commercial software, TRANSYT-7F. The simulation result of the uninterrupted flow model showed that the driver agent displayed human-like behavior ranging from slow and careful driving to fast and aggressive driving. The simulation of the interrupted flow model was implemented as two cases. The first case analyzed traffic flow as the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the turning traffic volume changed. Second case analyzed the traffic flow as the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the road length changed. The simulation results of the interrupted flow model showed that the close relationship between traffic state change and traffic signal interval.

Since real road experiments have many restrictions, a multi-vehicle traffic simulator can be an effective tool to develop and evaluate fully automated driving systems. This paper presents multi-vehicle environment simulation tool to develop and evaluate motorway automated driving systems. The proposed simulation tool consists of following two main parts: surrounding vehicle model and environment sensor model. The surrounding vehicle model is designed to quickly generate rational complex traffic situations of motorway. The environment sensor model depicts uncertainty of environment sensor. As a result, various traffic situations with uncertainty of environment sensor can be proposed by the multi-vehicle environment simulation tool. An application to automated driving system has been conducted. A lane changing algorithm is evaluated by performance indexes from the multi-vehicle environment simulation tool.

This paper presents a development of simulation environment for validation of autonomous driving (AD) algorithm based on Robot Operating System (ROS). ROS is one of the commonly-used frameworks utilized to control autonomous vehicles. For the evaluation of AD algorithm, a 3D autonomous driving simulator has been developed based on LGSVL. Two additional sensors are implemented in the simulation vehicle. First, Lidar sensor is mounted on the ego vehicle for real-time driving environment perception. Second, GPS sensor is equipped to estimate ego vehicle's position. With the vehicle sensor configuration in the simulation, the AD algorithm can predict the local environment and determine control commands with motion planning. The simulation environment has been evaluated with lane changing and keeping scenarios. The simulation results show that the proposed 3D simulator can successfully imitate the operation of a real-world vehicle.

가성무시(pseudoneglect)란, 신경학적 손상이 없는 정상인들이 무시증후군(visuospatial neglect)을 탐지하는데에 가장 많이 사용하는 선 이등분(line bisection)검사에서 좌측으로 치우쳐서 중심점을 표시하는 현상으로써, 우반구 손상을 입은 환자들이 공간의 좌측을 무시하고 중심점 우측으로 선을 이등분하는 것과는 반대된다. 본 연구는 시각적 주의에 영향을 미치는 가성무시현상에 대해 선 이등분과 선 사등분 전략을 적용한 도로에서의 모의운전(driving simulation)과 지필검사를 이용하여 확인하였다. 지필검사에서 선 이등분점과 좌측 사등분점이 유의미하게 좌측으로 치우친 반면, 우측 사등분 점은 유의미한 좌측 치우침을 보이지 않았다. 모의운전에서는 차량의 우측 치우침이 도로 조건과 관계없이 나타났으나 각 도로에 대한 상대적 치우침을 분석한 결과, 선 이등분 조건의 도로 1이 가장 많은 좌측 치우침을, 우측 선 사등분 조건의 도로 2가 가장 적은 좌측 치우침을 나타내어 지필검사와 모의운전의 결과가 유사하며 모두 좌측 치우침 현상이 있음을 확인했다. 또한 우측 치우침에 대한 원인으로 중앙선 회피효과를 분석한 결과, 중앙선 우측에서 주행한 도로 2와 4에서 회피경향이 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 가성무시가 운전 중에 유의미하게 나타남으로써 일상생활에서도 이와 같은 현상이 존재함을 나타냈다.
