본 논문에서는 영상 센서를 이용한 강인한 차량 검출 및 차간거리 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 차량 검출 알고리즘은 차량의 가장 큰 특징인 차량 하단의 그림자부분과 차량의 뒷바퀴 부분을 추출하기 위해 Haar-like 특징들과 차량 뒷부분의 방향성 에지특징을 동시에 활용하기 때문에 더욱 강인한 차량 검출 효과가 있다. 차량의 그림자에 해당하는 Haar-like 특징에 추가적인 방향성 에지특징은 차량이 아닌 부분을 잘못 검출하는 오검출률(false-positive error)을 현격히 줄이는 효과가 있고, 차량 추적기법을 통해 전체적인 수행 속도를 크게 개선한다. 그리고 차간거리 추정 알고리즘에서는 먼저 영상에 나타난 차량의 위치를 통해 추정하는 방법과 차량의 폭을 이용한 두 방법의 장단점을 분석한 후, 차량의 위치를 이용하는 방법이 가지고 있는 문제점과 차량의 폭을 이용한 방법의 단점을 극복하면서, 차간거리의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 개선된 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 차량 검출 및 차간거리 추정 알고리즘의 효용성을 입증하기 위해 다양한 실험영상들을 통해 그 효과를 입증한다.

This paper presents a camera calibration method in order to estimate the lane detection and inter-vehicle distance estimation system for an automotive safety driving system. In order to implement the lane detection and vision-based inter-vehicle distance estimation to the embedded navigations or black box systems, it is necessary to consider the computation time and algorithm complexity. The process of camera calibration estimates the horizon, the position of the car's hood and the lane width for extraction of region of interest (ROI) from input image sequences. The precision of the calibration method is very important to the lane detection and inter-vehicle distance estimation. The proposed calibration method consists of three main steps: 1) horizon area determination; 2) estimation of the car's hood area; and 3) estimation of initial lane width. Various experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) cause link disconnection problems due to the rapid speed and the frequent moving direction change of vehicles. Link disconnection in vehicle-to-vehicle communication is an important issue that must be solved because it decreases the reliability of packet forwarding. From the characteristics of VANETs, greedy forwarding protocols using the position information based on the inter-vehicle distance have gained attention. However, greedy forwarding protocols do not perform well in the urban environment where the direction of the vehicle changes greatly. It is because greedy forwarding protocols select the neighbor vehicle that is closest to the destination vehicle as the next transmission vehicle. In this paper, we propose a greedy anycast forwarding (GAF) protocol to improve the reliability of the inter-vehicle communication. The proposed GAF protocol combines the greedy forwarding scheme and the anycast forwarding method. Simulation results show that the GAF protocol can provide a better packet delivery rate than existing greedy forwarding protocols.

In this paper, a longitudinal control of the lead vehicle for a platoon in IVHS Regulation Layer is proposed. The backstepping method has been used for the controller design. This method has an advantage in that its stability need not be proven since the controller is designed based on the Lyapunov Function. The control object is that the lead vehicle tracks a reference velocity and maintains a safe distance between the inter-platoons while the followers are keeping the speed of the lead vehicle of a platoon. The coordinate of system is transformed to a new coordinate system for its convenience to design controller. The new coordinate system is composed of error and new error variable. The error is the difference between the safe distance and the actual distance of inter-platoons. A new error variable is the difference between the velocity of vehicle and the estimated state of a system operated by the virtual input. The Lyapunov function is obtained based on the variables of new coordinate system. In the computer simulation, several cases have been studied such as when the lead vehicle is tracking the optimal speed. or a lead vehicle of the following platoon tracks the velocity of the previous platoon while maintaining a safe distance. Also a nonlinear engine time constant case has been investigated. All the simulation results show that the designed controller satisfies the control object sufficiently.

In this paper, a platoon merging is considered as a remote-controlled system with the state represented by a stochastic process. In this system, it becomes to encounter situations where a single decision maker controls a large number of subsystems, and observation and control signals are sent over a communication channel with finite capacity and significant transmission delays. Unlike classical estimation problem in which the observation is a continuous process corrupted by additive noise, there is a constraint that the observation must be coded and transmitted over a digital communication channel with finite capaci쇼. A recursive coder-estimator sequence is a state estimation scheme based on observations transmitted with finite communication capacity constraint. Using the coder-estimator sequence, the remote control station designs a feedback controller. In this paper, we introduce a stochastic model for the lead vehicle in a platoon of vehicles considering the angle between a road surface and a horizontal plane as a stochastic process. The simulation results show that the inter-vehicle distance and the deviation from the desired inter-vehicle distance are well regulated.

This paper proposes a method for estimating the distance betweeen vehicles in a moving situation using the image ratio of the distance between the tail lamps of a front vehicle. The actual distance between the tail lamps of a front vehicle was transmitted by LED tail lamps using visible light communication. As the distance between the front vehicle and the rear vehicle changes, it calculates the ratio of the pixel width between the tail lamps of the front vehicle projected on the image. The calculated values are used to derive a distance-mapping function through non-linear regression technique. Then, the distance between vehicles in the moving situation is estimated based on this function.

도로 기반 시설의 도움 없이 지능형 교통 시스템을 실현하기 위한 차량 간 통신(Inter-Vehicle Communication)에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 차량 간 통신은 고정된 인프라 없이 차량간에 실시간 정보를 교환할 수 있게 해준다. 차량 간 통신 시스템은 정보를 전송하기 위해 멀티 홉 브로드캐스트 방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 차량 간 통신을 위한 위치 정보 기반의 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 위치 정보를 갖는 Hello 패킷을 전송하여 노드간 거리를 계산한다. 그런 다음 각 노드의 거리테이블을 이용하여 신속한 경로 복구를 수행한다. 제안하는 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜의 성능은 퀄넷(Qualnet) 버전 3.8 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 기존의 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜과 비교하였다.

자율주행 시스템의 수용성 보장은 중요하다. 시스템 수용성 요소 중 하나인 자율주행 종방향 제어기는 상위 제어기와 하위 제어기로 구성된다. 상위 제어기는 Cruise 제어와 Space 제어를 상황에 맞는 제어를 결정하고 필요한 목표 속도를 만든다. 하위 제어기에서는 목표 속도를 추종하기 위한 가속도 신호를 만들어서 제어를 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 상위 제어기에서 Cruise 제어와 Space 제어전환 문제에서 발생하는 차간거리 변동을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 Cruise 제어에서 Space 제어로 전환되는 시점에 Cruise 제어에 Approach 알고리즘을 추가하여 전환 거리에서 Space 제어로 전환되도록 하는 것이다. 이를 통해서 ± 12m 초기 오차에서 ±4m까지 오차를 개선했으며 실차검증을 수행하였다.

Light intensity variation is one of the key factors which affect the accuracy of vehicle face re-identification, so in order to improve the robustness of vehicle face features to light intensity variation, a Nonnegative Matrix Factorization model with the constraint of image acquisition time difference is proposed. First, the original features vectors of all pairs of positive samples which are used for training are placed in two original feature matrices respectively, where the same columns of the two matrices represent the same vehicle; Then, the new features obtained after decomposition are divided into stable and variable features proportionally, where the constraints of intra-class similarity and inter-class difference are imposed on the stable feature, and the constraint of image acquisition time difference is imposed on the variable feature; At last, vehicle face matching is achieved through calculating the cosine distance of stable features. Experimental results show that the average False Reject Rate and the average False Accept Rate of the proposed algorithm can be reduced to 0.14 and 0.11 respectively on five different datasets, and even sometimes under the large difference of light intensities, the vehicle face image can be still recognized accurately, which verifies that the extracted features have good robustness to light variation.
