For an automated transportation system like PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system or IVHS, an efficient vehicle-merging algorithm is required for smooth operation of the network. For management of merging, collision avoidance between vehicles, ride comfort, and the effect on traffic should be considered. This paper proposes an unmanned vehicle-merging algorithm that consists of two procedures. First, a longitudinal control algorithm is designed to keep a safe headway between vehicles in a single lane. Secondly, 'vacant slot and ghost vehicle' concept is introduced and a decision algorithm is designed to determine the sequence of vehicles entering a converging section considering energy consumption, ride comfort, and total traffic flow. The sequencing algorithm is based on fuzzy rules and the membership functions are determined first by an intuitive method and then trained by a learning method using a neural network. The vehicle-merging algorithm is shown to be effective through simulations based on a PRT model.

The thin-plate structure and the box-beam structure are two typical welded structures in railway vehicles. Because of their structure complexity, bigger size and multi-seams, welding residual distortion which occur in welding process bring unfavorable effect on the quality of welding products manufacturing and service. As a result, welding distortion forecasting and control become an important and urgent research topic in railway vehicles. In this paper, three different numerical methods are presented corresponding to three typical types of welded structures of railway vehicles and welding deformation are simulated. Consistence of numerical results and experimental data proves the correctness of models and feasibility of simulation methods.

현재 교차로에서의 보행자 교통흐름이나 비동력차 교통흐름의 신호제어에 대한 연구는 비교적 적다. 교통 흐름 신호 제어의 최적화 방안을 연구하여 보행자, 비동력차, 자동차 등의 전체적인 교통 흐름을 조화롭게 통제할 수 있게 하는 것은 교차로의 정체 상황을 개선하는 데 중요한 의의가 있다. 교차로의 교통 최적화를 위해 본 논문은 채널화 최적화와 위상 설계의 두 가지 측면에서 출발하며, 교차로에서의 충돌점의 수를 공간적, 시간적 할당으로부터 각각 감소시킨다. 고전적인 신호 타이밍 방법을 이론적 기반으로하고, 교통 여행객의 안전과 시간 적 이익 보장을 목표로 교차로의 채널화 최적화 및 신호 제어 방안을 제안한다. 자동차, 비자동차, 보행자를 객체로 하는 교차로의 채널화 및 위상 설계방법에 대해 논의하고, 교차로의 채널화 최적화 개선 방안을 제안한다. 교차로 신호제어의 다목적 최적화 모델을 구축하였으며, NSGA-II 알고리즘을 기반으로 모델을 해결하였다.

PURPOSES : This study is to analysis for benefit and construction cost in underpass for small vehicles. METHODS : The study was performed using the traffic software VISSIM 5.20 for analysis on a variety of traffic conditions and analysed of benefits of changes through analysis of travel speed and travel time after modeling of existing underpass and small vehicle underpass. RESULTS : Results of this study, the benefits will be reduced by the introduction underpass for small vehicles were analyzed because heavy vehicles use the intersection above the underpass. However, it was required economic analysis considering both the benefits reduction and the construction costs reduction because it has the effect of reducing the construction cost. Showed that the difference in benefit changes depending on the v/c and heavy vehicles ratio and construction cost was difference by types of underpass. As a result of performing economic analysis with total benefits and construction cost, it was analyzed to be economical in underpass over a certain size. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study are expected to be able to contribute to reviewing for feasibility due to the small vehicles underpass introduction and economic analysis. The study is case study to the underpass in Daegu. Therefore, the future requires the calculation of benefits reflect a wider range of traffic conditions and the economic analysis to construction cost calculation for various types of grad separation facilities.

It is a concern that eco-driving vehicles, because their driving behavior differs from other vehicles due to e.g. e-start, may inhibit smooth traffic flow. Therefore, it is necessary to study the cooperative eco-driving done by a vehicle group, putting "vehicle-to-vehicle communication" and "road-to-vehicle communication" into perspective. Based on these factors, this study aimed to: 1) Analyze fuel consumption rates and driving behaviors of more than one vehicle following an Eco-Driving vehicle. 2) Examine the effect of information on the fuel consumption rate of the preceding vehicles on the following vehicles. As a result, the following findings were obtained: 1) By providing information to multiple following vehicles, the fuel consumption rate of the second vehicle was not lowered, while that of the third one was. 2) It is possible that, when information on fuel consumption of a preceding vehicle is provided to the following one, an inter-vehicular distance is shortened during deceleration to contribute to smooth traffic flow. From the above results, it is suggested that, when targeting a vehicle group, sharing the information on preceding vehicles is effective.

자율주행시대에 맞춰 다양한 연구에서 미시교통시뮬레이션(VISSIM)을 활용하여 자율주행차 도입시 교통류 안전성 분석을 수행중이다. 그러나, 일반자동차의 주행행태를 VISSIM 내 파라미터로 반영하여 혼재시의 교통류 안전성을 분석한 연구는 미비하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 주행행태와 유사한 주행행태를 구현하기 위하여 일반자동차의 VISSIM 입력변수를 유전알고리즘을 통해 최적화 한 후, 자율주행차 도입률에 따른 교통류 안전성 분석을 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. US I-101 고속도로의 640m 구간을 대상으로 후행차량이 일반자동차인 경우에 대해서 상충횟수 분석을 수행한 결과, 전체 상충횟수는 자율주행차 도입률 20%까지 증가하였으며 20%를 초과한 이후부터는 지속적으로 감소하였다. 일반자동차와 자율주행차 사이의 상충횟수는 자율주행차 도입률 60%까지 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나, 자율주행차의 주행행태를 기존 문헌결과를 바탕으로 하여 실제 주행행태를 표현하지 못했다는 한계가 존재한다. 그러므로 보다 정확한 분석을 위해 향후 연구에서는 자율주행차의 실제 주행행태를 반영하여 연구를 수행할 필요가 있다.

Precise highway traffic noise simulation and reduction require the accurate data for sound power levels omitted by vehicles, varied to road surface, traffic speed, vehicle types and makers, different from countries to countries. In this study, we have elaboratively measured Korea highway traffic noise and parameters affecting noise levels at the nearside carriageway edge. From numerical simulation using the measured results for highway traffic noise, we propose not only two correction factors to enhance the accuracy of Korea highway traffic sound power estimation using ASJ Model-1998 but also its typical power spectrum according to road surface type. The measured and predicted highway traffic noise levels using the proposed sound power show little difference within 1 dB.

The vehicle emissions of primary air pollutants are described by the emission factor (EF), defined as the emitted mass (g) of a compound per distance (km) and vehicle. The EF can be determined by exhaust measurements from single vehicles in dynamometric tests. However, the EF of a large number of vehicles has to be measured to obtain the representative results for actual road traffic emissions. Road traffic emissions can also be determined by exhaust measurements of driving vehicles or in tunnel measurements. (omitted)

This paper presents a new method to extract traffic information such as number of passing vehicles and average speed by a pair of stereo road images. The whole process consists of the extraction of vehicles and the tracking of the extracted vehicles. For the extraction of vehicles, the outline of each vehicle is obtained by using binary region growing technique applied to disparity map based on multi-resolution stereo matching. The Kalman filter tracking algorithm is applied to the extracted vehicle outlines to determine the flow of vehicles. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improved recognition rate of vehicles over the conventional methods-frame difference and background elimination methods.

As the number of passengers and the amount of cargo is getting increased, the traffic of aircraft and moving vehicle at an airport is getting busy. Especially, due to the heavy traffic of moving vehicles in the area of airside, the safety management of them is getting important. The study has been performed for suggesting improved methods in order to reduce safety accidents between aircraft and moving vehicles by introducing a safety management system for moving vehicles in airside of an airport. In order to improve the level of safety with the efficient management of moving vehicles in airside, the analysis of the domestic and international trends of the related technology and regulations has been performed. As a result, the conceptual design of safety management system has been suggested by utilizing the location information technology and four layers (hardware, network, middleware and application) approaches of safety management system.
