Recently, unmanned aircrafts for safe measurement in hazardous locations have been developed. In a method of operation of unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAV), there are two methods of manual control and automatic control. Small UAVs are used for low altitude surveillance flights where unknown obstacles can be encountered. Obstacle avoidance is one of the most challenging tasks which the UAV has to perform with high level of accuracy. In this study, we used a laser range finder as an obstacle detector in automatic navigation of unmanned aircraft to patrol the destination automatically. We proposed a system to avoid obstacles automatically by measuring the angle and distance of the obstacle using the laser range finder.

The automated mechanical transmission(AMT) is composed of electronic control management(ECM) and automatic shift gear(ASG). The AMT has advantages which are high efficiency of manual transmissions(MT) and offer operation convenience similar to automatic transmissions(AT). However, it has defects that are the torque gap during gear shift transients and shift time is long. To reduce such defects, it is necessary practically to evaluate error and characteristics as developing simulation model before the control algorithm is applied. In this paper, models are composed of vehicle model and AMT shift control model. Particularly AMT shift control model consists of main clutch management model (MCM) and shift control management model(SCM). The developed models were verified by comparing the simulated and experimental results under the same operational conditions. It can also be used to evaluate shift algorithm.

Automatic Transmission System(ATS) was designed to replace the human's manual operation of the gear box. So far, this system operates with the fixed shift pattern information. In this paper, new algorithm considering driver's operation tendency is proposed. Also, to get rid of the uselessly frequent shift of the ATS, the conditions and the status of the vehicle would be included for the evaluation in making a decision of shifting. A field test is done in a car equipped with the computer set connected to Transmission Control Units(TCU) to check the status of the test car, and it shows the excellency of the proposed algorithm.

Recommendations for older driver-friendly automobile interior design have been determined by taking into account older people's physical and cognitive characteristics. Twenty three older people (aged from 54 to 78) and five younger people (from 20 to 29) performed several tasks in actual driving conditions, in which their reaction times and performance errors were recorded. Some design factors were found to be related to older drivers' visibility and controllability. Several design recommendations were proposed in terms of cluster color and font, display location, and HVAC control type. Proposed recommendations are expected to satisfy a wider range of older drivers as these will facilitate automobile interior designs which are fitter to older drivers' visual, cognitive, and manual capabilities.

동일한 수의 중차량 비율이 도로 용량에 미치는 영향이 고속도로 소통상태가 원활한 서비스수준 A와 그렇지 않은 서비스수준 E의 경우에 따라 같지 않음이 지적되고 있다. 우리나라 고속도로 용량산정 방법 역시 고속도로 운영 상태를 고려하지 않으며 중(重)차량 영향을 반영하고 있다. 본 연구는 고속도로 소통 상태별 중차량 비율이 도로 용량에 미치는 수준을 기초 시험 수준에서 진단한다. 서울 동부간선도로에서 총 15일 (360시간) 자료를 수집하였으며 이를 15분단위로 가공하여 분석하였다. 중차량 비율이 용량에 미치는 영향을 각 서비스수준별로 분석한 결과, 현재의 용량산정방법은 서비스수준 B~C에서 용량이 과소 추정되고, 서비스수준 E에서는 용량이 과대 추정되는 것을 확인하였다. 연구 결과는 현재의 도로용량편람에서 제시한 방안과는 달리 고속도로 소통상태를 반영하여 중차량 보정계수가 적용되어야 함을 의미한다.

국내에서 제정된 도로용량편람(2001)은 무통제 교차로와 양방향정지 교차로의 서비스수준 분석 방법만을 제시하고 있으며, 회전교차로 서비스수준 분석 방법에 대해서는 다루고 있지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 회전교차로라는 명칭조차 포함하고 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 회전교차로를 위한 적정한 효과척도를 선정하고, 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 서비스수준의 기준을 정립하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 적절한 효과척도(MOE)를 선정하는 방법을 고찰하고, 서비스수준을 개발하는 수순으로 연구를 수행하였다. 회전교차로에 적용할 효과척도로 진입교통량, v/c비, 평균차량지체로 선정되었으며, 선정된 효과척도를 토대로 VISSIM을 이용하여 서비스수준의 기준을 정립하였다. 연구결과, 지방지역 1차로 회전교차로에서의 서비스수준 F의 진입교통량은 1,700pcph이며, 평균차량지체는 18초로 분석되었다. 서비스수준 A에 대해서 진입교통량은 700pcph이며, 이때 평균차량지체는 3초, v/c비는 0.41로 분석되었다. 지방지역 2차로 회전교차로는 서비스수준 F의 진입교통량은 2,900pcph이며, 평균차량지체는 31초로 분석되었다. 서비스수준 A인 경우 진입교통량은 1,500pcph이며, 이때 평균차량지체는 8초, v/c비는 0.52로 분석되었다.

A windshield wiper system plays a key part in assuring the driver's safety during the rainfall. However, because the quantity of rain and snow vary irregularly according to time and the velocity of the automobile, a driver changes wiper speed and interval from time to time to secure enough visual field in the traditional windshield wiper system. Because a manual operation of windshield wiper distracts driver's sensitivity and causes inadvertent driving, this is becoming a direct cause of traffic accidents. Therefore, this paper presents the basic architecture of a vision-based smart windshield wiper system and a rain sensing algorithm that regulates speed and interval of the windshield wiper automatically according to the quantity of rain or snow. This paper also introduces a fuzzy wiper control algorithm based on human's expertise, and evaluates the performance of the suggested algorithm in an experimental simulator.

A friction damper is installed in the passenger car driveline in order to dissipate the torsional vibration energy. The frictional damping hysteresis has considerable influences on the driveline vibration characteristics and, therefore, it is one of the most important parameters in the damper design. To investigate the hysteresis effects on the driveline vibration, a dynamic model of the passenger car driveline with manual transmission has developed, and simulations were executed on the several different driving conditions for various hysteresis values. To verify the model, vehicle tests are preformed and the test data were compared with the simulations results. The simulation and test results show good agreements and the model could be used to determine the optimal hyteresis values in early design stage of the damper.

This paper presents an automatic target tracking flight system using a PID controller based on velocity command of a multirotor UAV. The automatic flight system includes marker based onboard target detection and an automatic velocity command generation replacing manual controller. A quad-rotor UAV is equipped with a camera and an image processing computer to detect the marker in real time and to estimate the relative distance from the target. The marker tracking system consists of PID controller and generates velocity command based on the relative distance. The generated velocity command is used as the input of the UAV's original flight controller. The operation of the proposed system was verified through actual flight tests using a marker on top of a moving vehicle and tracks it to successfully demonstrate its capability using a quad-rotor UAV.
