Recently, autonomous vehicles have been studied actively. Autonomous vehicles can detect objects around them using their on board sensors, estimate collision probability and maneuver to avoid colliding with objects. Many algorithms are suggested to prevent collision avoidance. However there are limitations of complex and diverse environments because algorithm uses only the information of attached environmental sensors and mainly depends on TTC (time-to-Collision) parameter. In this paper, autonomous driving algorithm using I2V communication-based cooperative sensing information is developed to cope with complex and diverse environments through sensor fusion of objects information from infrastructure camera and object information from equipped sensors. The cooperative sensing based autonomous driving algorithm is implemented in autonomous shuttle bus and the proposed algorithm proved to be able to improve the autonomous navigation technology effectively.

다중센서데이터 융합시스템(MSDFS)은 여러 센서로부터 획득된 이질의 데이터를 정규화된 포맷으로 융합하고 단일 센서에서의 획득오차를 최소한으로 줄여 표적의 정확한 식별 및 판단을 지원하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템들은 고유의 기능을 수행하는 모듈들에 대한 고수준의 재사용성을 요구하므로, 현재의 소프트웨어공학 기법을 적용시 공통부분에 대한 효율적 설계가 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시스템 개발에 이러한 비효율적인 요소를 제거하는 제품-계열 개발방법론을 MSDFS의 임베디드 소프트웨어 설계에 적용한다. 이를 위해 분석 대상에 대한 영역지정에서부터 재사용가능한 컴포넌트의 식별까지 설계 하며, 마지막으로 설계된 모델에 대한 검증을 위해 GQM 패러다임을 적용한다. 또한 산출물에 대한 성능평가 기준을 제시하여 시스템 개발을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

본 논문은 시간 제약 조건을 갖는 컨텍스트(상황)에 대한 분산적 탐지 기법(PROCON)을 제안한다. 수집한 데이터를 베이스 스테이션으로 모아 컨텍스트의 발생 여부를 결정하는 기존의 중앙집중 기법과 달리 PROCON은 네트워크 내에서 능동적, 분산적 방식으로 센서 노드 간의 협업을 통하여 컨텍스트를 결정한다. 따라서, 컨텍스트의 발생여부 탐지와 이에 대한 대응(Actuation)이 베이스 스테이션에 독립적으로 네트워크 내에서 모두 이루어진다. 본 논문은 다양한 상황구성에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 PROCON의 분산 상황방식이 기존의 중앙집중 방식에 비해 상당한 에너지 절약과 서비스 신뢰성(reliability) 향상을 가져온다는 것을 보인다.

The vehicle attitude and sideslip is critical information to control the vehicle to prevent from unintended motion. Many of estimation strategy use bicycle model or IMU integration, but both of them have limits on application. The main purpose of this paper is development of vehicle orientation estimator which is robust to various vehicle state and road shape. The suggested estimator use 3-axis magnetometer, yaw rate sensor and lateral acceleration sensor to estimate three Euler angles of vehicle. The estimator is composed of two individual observers: First, comparing the known magnetic field and gravity with measured value, the TRIAD algorithm calculates optimal rotational matrix when vehicle is in static or quasi-static condition. Next, merging 3-axis magnetometer with inertial sensors, the extended Kalman filter is used to estimate vehicle orientation under dynamic condition. A validation through simulation tools, Carsim and Simulink, is performed and the results show the feasibility of the suggested estimation method.

Recently, robotic automation in clinical laboratory becomes of keen interest as a fusion of bio and robotic technology. In this paper, we present a new robotic platform for clinical tests suitable for small or medium sized laboratories using mobile robots. The mobile robot called Mobile Agent is designed as transfer system of blood samples, reagents, microplates, and any instruments. Also, the developed mobile agent can perform diverse tests simultaneously based on its cooperative and distributed ability. The driving circuits for the mobile agent are embedded in the robot, and each mobile agent communicates with other agents by using Bluetooth communication. The RFID system is used to recognize patient information. Also, the magnetic hall sensor is embedded to remove and compensate the cumulated error of locomotion at the bottom of mobile agent. The proposed mobile agent can be easily used for various applications because it is designed to be compatible with general software development tools. The Mobile agents are manufactured, and feasibility of the robot and localization of the agents using magnetic hall sensor are validated by preliminary experiments.

This paper deals with the simultaneous localization and mapping system using cooperative robot. For recognizing environment, swarm robot uses the ultrasonic sensors and vision sensor. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance information, and vision sensor recognizes the predefined landmark. we used SURF with excellent quality and fast matching in order to recognize landmark. Due to measurement error of sensors, we fusion them using particle filter for accurate localization and mapping. Finally, we show the feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

FANET is an ad hoc network formed among the unmanned aircraft in the three-dimensional space for data transfer. Most of the research on FANET application has focused on the use of the camera sensor mounted on the unmanned aircraft to collect data from the ground, and process and delivery of the data for a specific purpose. However, the research on the fusion of WBAN and FANET that collects the data of the human body and passes through the FANET has not been studied much until now. Therefore, in this study, we study the data transmission system that collects the human body data of people working in the areas that are vulnerable to communication difficulties and passes the collected data through the FANET. In particular we analyze the possible methods to transfer the emergency data of the body in the fusion network of WBAN and FANET and provide a data transfer model that can be transmitted most efficiently.

Time synchronization is important role in a network, especially in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) which is required for time-critical applications such as surveillance, tracking, data fusion and scheduling. Time synchronization in WSN should meet the other different requirements than the one in other networks because WSN has critical resource constraints, especially power consumption. This paper presents a new time synchronization scheme for WSN, which is energy efficient by reducing communication overhead. Simulation test shows this new scheme has better energy efficiency and performance of accuracy than existing schemes proposed previously.

Global interests for construction of 3 dimensional spatial information has risen due to development of measurement sensors and data processing technologies. In spite of criticism for the violation of personal privacy, CCTV cameras equipped in outdoor public space of urban area are used as a fundamental sensor for traffic management, crime prevention or hazard monitoring. For safety guarantee in urban environment and disaster prevention, a surveillance system integrating pre-constructed 3 dimensional spatial information with CCTV data or video sequence is needed for monitoring and observing emergent situation interactively in real time. In this study, we proposed applicability of the prototype system for web visualization based on X3D, an international standard of real time web visualization, by integrating 3 dimensional spatial information with video sequence.

This paper presents the pedestrian navigation algorithm and the error compensation filter. The pedestrian navigation system (PNS) consists of the MEMS inertial sensors, the fluxgate, and the small-size GPS receiver. PNS calculates the navigational information using the signal patterns of the accelerometers. And the navigational information is completed by integration of the patterns, the fluxgate, and the GPS information. In general, PNS can provide the better solution than the low-cost inertial navigation system.
