In this study, to investigate the dangerous driving on the curves, a driving test was performed in 10 km from Jinan and to Jeonju(Bugui Gas Station~Whasim Intersection), on the national highway No. 26. For the dangerous driving felt by the driver when a driver is driving on the curves, lateral acceleration and yaw rate were analyzed. And then, the reference value of lateral acceleration and yaw rate was computed. Through observing the driving speed and the characteristics of ordinary drivers using the applicable roads or following them as they drive, the driving test was performed again and the section exceeding the reference value set as above was computed. On the dangerous driving area, exceeding the reference value, total 10 accidents took place from 2006 till 2010, and slipping caused by speeding accounted for more than 70% of the accidents. It was concluded that the result of an analysis through recording drivers' driving characteristics, was reliable.

현행의 도로설계기준에서는 특정 설계속도에 따라 최소기준을 정하여 이를 토대로 설계된 도로가 해당 기준을 만족하면 주행상 안전성을 확보하는 것으로 간주하고, 이에 따라 도로설계 및 교통운영을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 실제 도로를 주행하는 차량의 속도를 조사해보면, 다수의 차량이 설계자의 의도와 다른 속도로 주행하는 것을 볼 수 있고, 이는 도로 이용자의 안전성 문제와 직결된다고 할 수 있다. 특히, 직선부에서 곡선부, 혹은 곡선부에서 직선부로 주행하는 곡선부 변이구간은 이러한 속도의 변동이 가장 심한 구간 중의 하나로 이에 대한 주행 안전성 검토가 절실하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 첫째, 곡선부 도로 변이구간에서의 주행속도와 주행반경을 고려한 지점별 횡방향 가속도와 횡방향 가속도 변화율을 산정하고, 둘째, 이를 고려한 곡선부 도로 변이구간의 설계안전성을 평가하여 편경사, 곡선반경 등의 선형 설계요소를 검토하였다. 검토결과 현재 고려되어지고 있는 구심가속도는 실제 운전자가 부담해야 하는 구심가속도에 훨씬 못 미치고 있는 실정이며, 설계속도에 따라 구심가속도가 $25.56{\sim}77.78%$ 증가되어 주행안정성에 문제가 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 직선-단곡선으로 이어지는 곡선부 변이구간을 대상으로 하였다.

자율주행 기술이 빠르게 발전함에 따라 자율주행 기술을 직·간접적으로 체험할 수 있는 기회가 대중에게 제공되고 있지만, 이용자 관점에서 편안한 승차감을 기대할 수 있는 선호하는 자율주행 패턴에 대해서는 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 주행 시뮬레이터와 자율주행이 가능한 실험차를 활용하여 종·횡방향 가속도에 대한 이용자 측면 만족도 평가를 수행하였다. 주행 실험을 통하여 도출한 5가지 종·횡방향 가속도 값을 활용하여 자율주행 패턴을 가상환경 시뮬레이션으로 구현하였으며, 그 중 3가지 값에 대해서는 실차 기반 자율주행으로 구현하여 만족도 및 불안감 수준 평가실험을 추가 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 실험 참가자들은 종방향 가속도에 비하여 횡방향 가속도에 더 민감한 평가를 하였으며, 불안감 수준도 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 이용자 측면 자율주행 패턴 평가연구 필요성과, 시뮬레이터 기반 평가방법의 적정성을 제시하였다.

In contactless disk handling systems based on electrostatic suspension in which the stator is to be transferred, the limited stiffness in lateral direction severely restricts the achievable translational acceleration. In existing stator electrode pattern designs, the magnitude of the lateral force is determined by the magnitude of the control voltages which are applied to the individual electrodes to levitate the disk stably. As a result, the lateral force cannot be set arbitrarily. A new stator electrode pattern is presented for the electrostatic levitation of disk-shaped objects, in particular silicon wafers and aluminum hard disks, which allows the lateral forces to be controlled independently from the levitation voltages. Therefore, greater lateral forces can be obtained, compared with the existing stator designs. Experimental results will be presented for a 4-inch silicon wafer that clearly reveal the increased lateral stiffness by using the proposed stator electrode compared to the conventional electrode pattern.

A geometric contact conditions of wheel/rail affect the dynamic behavior of rolling stock. Mechanical force acted on the wheel/rail causes excessive wear and increase the maintenance cost. In this study, we have studied the dynamic behavior of the urban railway vehicle with new and worn wheel by VAMPIRE program. And we have tested the accelerations of wheelset on the conventional line. The results of simulation are compared with the measuring data of field test. It shows that the acceleration of worn wheel is greater than the acceleration of new wheel in the straight track line but on the contrary, the acceleration of new wheel is greater than the acceleration of worn wheel in curved track. That results explain that the new wheel is worn out greater than the worn wheel in curved track line and need to be maintained more seriously when running in curved track line.

In this paper, we analyzed normal gait acceleration signal by time series analysis methods. Accelerations were measured during walking using a biaxial accelerometer. Acceleration data were acquired from normal subjects(23 men and one woman) walking on a level corridor of 20m in length with three different walking speeds. Acceleration signals were measured at a sampling frequency of 60Hz from a biaxial accelerometer mounted between L3 and L4 intervertebral area. Each step signal was analyzed using Box-Jenkins method. Most of the differenced normal step signals were modeled to AR(3) and the model didn't show difference for model's orders and coefficients with walking speed. But, tile model showed difference with acceleration signal direction - vertical and lateral. The above results suggested the proposed model could be applied to unit analysis.

This paper deals with the lateral dynamic model of an all-wheel steered articulated vehicle to design a guidance controller. Nonlinear dynamic model of articulated vehicle is developed by complementing the model about the BRT system of California PATH in U. S. A. and the Phileas system of the APTS in Netherlands. Linear lateral dynamic model has been derived from the nonlinear dynamic model under some assumptions associated with the driving conditions. To design a guidance controller, we derive a transfer function that is steering angle as input and lateral acceleration as output from the linear lateral dynamic model by applying the parameter of vehicle that is developed by Korea Railroad Research Institute. To validate the dynamic model, nonlinear dynamic model has been compared with a vehicle model that has been programmed in ADAMS, and linear dynamic model has been compared with a nonlinear dynamic model under sime assumptions.

This paper presents a lateral stability control for rear wheel drive (RWD) vehicles using electronic limited slip differentials (eLSD). The proposed eLSD controller is designed to increase the understeer characteristic by transferring torque from the outside to inside wheel. The proposed algorithm is devised to improve the lateral responses at the steady state and transient cornering. In the steady state response, the proposed algorithm can extend the region of linear cornering response and can increase the maximum limit of available lateral acceleration. In the transient response, the proposed controller can reduce the yaw rate overshoot by increasing the understeer characteristic. The proposed algorithm has been investigated via computer simulations. In the simulation results, the performance of the proposed controller is compared with uncontrolled cases. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the vehicle lateral stability and handling performance.

탈선은 차륜 플렌지가 레일에 접촉할 때 발생하는 횡방향의 힘이 커져 차륜이 레일을 이탈하는 현상이다. 탈선 또는 주행안전도를 평가하는 대표적인 기준은 탈선계수이다. 차륜에 스트레인게이지를 부착하여 탈선계수를 측정하는 기존방법은 대단히 복잡하고 측정의 실패확률도 높으며, 고도의 측정기술과 고가의 비용이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 안전성확인이 필요한 그 시점에 즉시 확인하지 못하고 있어 안전확보에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차륜과 레일간의 접촉력인 윤중과 횡압을 쉽게 측정할 수 있는 방안을 집중적으로 연구하였으며, 가속도과 변위의 거동만으로 탈선 가능성을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 탈선계수 측정방법을 제시하였다.

Lateral vibrations of footbridges may induce synchronization between pedestrians and structure itself, resulting in amplification of such vibrations, a phenomenon identified by lock-in. However, investigations about accelerations and frequencies of the structural movement that are related to the occurrence of synchronization are still incipient. The aim of this paper is to investigate conditions that could lead to avoidance of synchronization among pedestrians themselves and footbridge, expressed in terms of peak acceleration. The focus is on the low acceleration range, employed in some guidelines as a criterion to avoid synchronization. An experimental campaign was carried out, employing a prototype footbridge that was set into oscillatory motion through a pneumatic exciter controlled by a fuzzy system, with controlled frequency and amplitude. Test subjects were then asked to cross the oscillating structure, and accelerations were simultaneously recorded at the structure and at the subject's waist. Pattern and phase differences between these signals were analysed. The results showed that test subjects tended to keep their walking patterns without synchronization induced by the vibration of the structure, for structural peak acceleration values up to 0.18 m/s², when frequencies of oscillation were around 0.8 to 0.9 Hz. On the other hand, for frequencies of oscillation below 0.7 Hz, structural peak accelerations up to 0.30 m/s² did not induce synchronization.
