Advanced driver assistance system(ADAS) is a major technique in the intelligent vehicle field. The techniques for ADAS can be separated in two classes, i.e., methods that directly control the movement of vehicle and that indirectly provide convenience to driver. In this paper, we propose a novel system that gives a visual assistance to driver by translating a night road image to a day road image. We use the black box images capturing the front road view of vehicle as inputs. The black box images are cropped into three parts and simultaneously translated into day images by the proposed image translation module. Then, the translated images are recollected to original size. The experimental result shows that the proposed method generates realistic images and outperforms the conventional algorithms.

Mongolia is a developing country with a smaller population living across a large territory where infrastructure is underdeveloped. The country has been actively implementing road construction in recent years. The Mongolian government has increased investments in new road construction, but funding for major maintenance or reconstruction projects declined between 2012 and 2016. On the other hand, road network management has not been implemented owing to insufficient road maintenance and If the road network expands, there is a risk that the cost of overall maintenance will increase significantly in the future. Therefore, in order to cope with these problems, this study reviewed applying Korean road model to Mongolia for systematic management of road infrastructure.

Road transport occupies the largest share in domestic and international transport. It is of key importance for the development of the economy, forasmuch as it provides the livelihood of the population, the development of the national economy, the possibility of establishing foreign economic relations. The purpose of the research is as follows: analysis of the current state of functioning of the road transport sector in Eastern Europe and identification of key problems and trends in its development. Research methods: Methods of grouping, comparison and generalization, correlation analisys have been used to identify the dynamics of the main indicators of road transport in Eastern Europe. The method of correlation-regression analysis has been applied to determine the impact of increasing the length of roads on the turnover of the road freight transport and the number of employed population in this area. Results. It has been found that the increase in the employed population by 96% and increase in revenues from transportation and storage of goods, postal and courier services (turnover of the road freight transport - in the original language) in the field of road transport by 82% is explained by the change in transport infrastructure capacity by increasing length of highways. According to the correlation analysis, it has been revealed that there is a high direct dependence between the length of roads and increased revenues from transportation and storage of goods in the field of road transport, as well as between the length of roads and increasing employment in this area.

The present study proposed a methodology to analyze the networking efficiency of arterial road networks. The methodology was motivated to design three-dimensional networks and to analyze the networking ability quantitatively, which is a novel approach compared to existing methods depending on the two-dimensional network definition and the qualitative analysis for improving arterial road networks. The method considered the interdependence between high-level freeways and low-level highways, the ITS-based information for traffic and road conditions, and the physical networking. These three factors were quantified by a networking index (NI), and the networking efficiency was measured by a networking rate (NR). The present study proved that the networking efficiency (NR) was influenced by travel information sharing (i.e., ITS) and physical factors. This supports the fact that the integrated improvements of physical and ITS factors are necessary for an arterial road. The proposed method was applied for an actual arterial road network. It was found that the nation-wide NR was higher than that for the metropolitan area, which might be due to the difficulty in switching between high- and low-level networks and the lack of ITS functions in the metropolitan area.

This paper presents a new method to extract semi-automatically roads from high spatial resolution satellite imagery. This method is based both on wavelet transform and on multiresolution analysis combined in the "$\grave{a}$ trous" algorithm. As an urban road network consists on different classes of streets, multiresolution processing allows to extract the streets class by class. The method was applied to a KVR-1000 image on a part of Busan Metropolitan City. The method was carried out for the road extraction of three different widths and it succeeded in extracting good fitted strips. The accuracy analysis for three types of streets was also performed. The overall accuracy in 4 pixels of width is 80.5%. The result suggests that this method can be used to update road networks in the studied urban network. In summary, the multiresolution approach based on the wavelet transform, used in this study, is regarded as one of effective methods to extract urban road network from high spatial resolution satellite images.

Construction cost estimation in planning phase which calculates the cost for performing construction tasks is used for various ways. Meanwhile, in the case of road construction, the existing cost estimating method in early phase based on numerical mean value of the past is not accurate to be used. This paper propose neural network model for estimating road construction cost in planning phase to solve the limit of current cost estimating method. The model was designed using past road construction bidding records, and variables of model were optimized through trial and error. The estimation result of the model was compared with regression analysis and government's standard and it was verified that the model is better in accuracy. It is expected that the proposed model will be used for road cost estimation in planning phase.

The purpose of this paper is to devise an optimal route allocation algorithm for automated vehicle(AV) in monitoring quality of road infrastructure to support the road safety. The tasks of an AV in this paper include visiting node-links at least once during its operation and checking status of road infrastructure, and coming back to its depot.. In selecting optimal route, its priority goal is visiting the node-links with higher risks while reducing costs caused by operation. To deal with the problem, authors devised reward maximizing algorithm for AVs. To check its validity, the authors developed simple toy network that mimic node-link networks and assigned costs and rewards for each node-link. With the toy network, the reward maximizing algorithm worked well as it visited the node-link with higher risks earlier then chinese postman route algorithm (Eiselt, Gendreau, Laporte, 1995). For further research, the reward maximizing algorithm should be tested its validity in a more complex network that mimic the real-life.

An HD map is essential in the automated driving of level 4 and above to generate the vehicle's global path since it contains road information and each road's lane information. Therefore, all the road elements in the HD map must be correctly defined to construct the correct road network necessary to generate the global path. But unfortunately, it is not difficult to find various errors even in the most recent HD maps. Hence, a preprocessing algorithm has been developed to detect and correct errors in the HD map. This error detection and correction result in constructing the correct road network for use in global path planning. Furthermore, the algorithm was tested on real roads' HD maps, demonstrating its validity.
