To measure the fuel consumption rate of a vehicle, a car is tested on chassis dynamometer following given driving mode. But the fuel consumption rate measured by this method may be somewhat different from that measured in on-road driving conditions. It may be due to not considering road grade in driving modes. In this study, new driving modes which include road grade are proposed, and the simulation program to estimate the real driving fuel consumption rate of a vehicle is developed. On-road car tests to verify the simulation program are carried out and the results of the simulation are analysed and compared with those of the experiments.

PURPOSES : This study aims to evaluate the road safety of the super-elevation transition section of a left turn curve and suggest the minimum longitudinal grade of a super-elevation transition section to be used before and after a left curved section. METHODS : We evaluated the road condition by means of the safety-criterion-evaluation method involving side friction factors, and then solve the problem by introducing the minimum longitudinal grade criterion based on conditions described in the hydraulics literature. RESULTS : It was calculated that when a road satisfies hydroplaning conditions, the difference between side friction assumed and side friction demanded is less than -0.04. In this case, the safety criterion for the condition is unsatisfied. Conversely, when a road is in a normal state under either wet or dry conditions, it was calculated that the difference between side friction assumed and side friction demanded is more than 0.01. Thus, the safety criterion for this condition is found to be satisfied. After adjusting the minimum longitudinal grade applied to a super-elevation transition section, the hydroplaning condition can be eliminated and the safety criterion can be met for all sections. CONCLUSIONS : It is suggested that a minimum longitudinal grade should be provided on super-elevation transition sections in order to prevent hydroplaning.

This paper presents a vehicle mass and road grade estimator for developing an automated bus. To consider the dynamic characteristics of a bus varying with the number of passengers, the longitudinal controller needs the estimation of the vehicle's mass and road grade in real-time and utilizes the information to adjust the control gains. Discrete Kalman filter is applied to estimate the time-varying road grade, and the recursive least squares algorithm is adopted to account for the constant mass estimation. After being implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, the estimators are evaluated with the dynamic model and experimental data of the target bus. The proposed estimators will be applied to complement the algorithm of the longitudinal controller and proceed with algorithm verification.

자전거 이용 활성화를 위해 자전거도로 이용자의 안전성 및 승차감을 고려한 포장상태 평가 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 자전거도로는 주행환경의 변화에 민감하게 반응하기 때문에 일반적인 도로에 적용하는 포장상태 평가기준을 도입하기에 무리가 있다. 본 연구에서는 자전거도로에 적합한 새로운 포장상태 평가기준을 제시하였다. 제시된 자전거도로 포장상태 평가기준은 자전거 조사장비(RMSI; Road Monitoring System using ICT)를 통해 측정된 충격가속도 값을 기준으로 5등급으로 구분하였으며, 자전거도로 이용자의 만족도조사를 통해 제시 기준의 타당성을 검토하였다. 제시된 기준의 등급은 포장상태가 매우 양호한 A 등급부터 즉각적인 보수가 필요한 E 등급으로 구분된다. 이용자 만족도조사 결과 A 등급의 경우 91%, E 등급은 95%의 상관성을 보여 만족도조사 결과와 제시된 기준의 상관성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 자전거도로 조사장비를 이용한 자전거도로 유지관리에 상당히 효과적이며 자전거도로 이용자의 안전성 및 주행성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study evaluated road shape and roadside barrier impact on near-road air pollution dispersion using FLUENT computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Simulated road shapes are three types, namely at-grade, depressed, and filled road. The realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ model in FLUENT CFD code was used to simulate the flow and dispersion around road. The selected concentration profile results were compared with the wind tunnel experiments. The overall concentration profile results show good agreement with the wind tunnel results. The results showed that noise barriers, which positioned around the at-grade road, decrease the horizontal impact distance (In this study, the impact distance was defined as the distance from road surface origin coordinate to the position whose mass fraction is 0.1.) lower 0.33~0.65 times and change the vertical air pollution impact distance larger 2.0~2.27 times than those of no barrier case. In case of filled road, noise barriers decrease the horizontal impact distance lower 0.24~0.65 times and change the vertical air pollution impact distance larger 3.33~3.55 times than those of no barrier case. The depressed road increase 1.53~1.68 times the vertical air pollution impact distance. It contributes the decrease of horizontal air pollution impact distance 0.32~0.60 times compare with no barrier case.

PURPOSES : This study proposes a methodology to collect data necessary for microlevel emission estimation, such as second-by-second speeds and road grades, and to accordingly estimate emissions. METHODS : To ease data collection for microlevel emission estimation, a vehicle equipped with speed- and location-recording instruments as well as equipment for measuring road geometry was used. As a case study, this vehicle and the proposed methodology were used on a 10-km-long highway in Yongin City, Korea. Emissions from the vehicle during driving were estimated in various microscale driving conditions. RESULTS : Differences in the estimated emission under different microscale driving conditions cannot be ignored. Compared with the estimations obtained when second-by-second data were not considered, CO and NOx emissions were more than threefold higher when considering second-by-second speed; similarly, CO and NOx emission estimations were higher by approximately 10% and 3%, respectively, when considering second-by-second road grade. CONCLUSIONS : The proposed method can estimate vehicle emissions under real-world driving conditions in such applications as road design and traffic policy assessments.

자동차 보유대수 증가에 따른 고유가와 온실가스 배출로 자전거이용의 중요성이 대두되고 있지만, 자전거이용률은 현저하게 낮은 실정이다. 자전거이용 활성화를 위한 대책으로 전국자전거도로 사업이 진행되고 있으며 각 지방자치단체에서도 자전거도로 기본계획을 수립하여 진행되고 있다. 노선 선정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만, 자료 처리에 대한 연구는 명확한 결과를 도출하기엔 부족한 실정이다. 자전거도로 설계 기준에 명시되어진 종단경사도 지형상황 등으로 인하여 부득이하다고 인정되는 경우에는 예외로 한다고 되어 있다. 본 연구에선 기존 자전거도로가 여수시의 지형상황을 고려하여 개설되어 졌는지, 종단경사 기준을 고려하여 연결 가능한 자전거도로 노선 선정을 제시했다. 추가요소로 차선 수, 도로 폭을 포함시켜 개설 가능한 자전거도로 중 적합한 자전거도로 노선이 산출되었다. 향후 산지가 많은 지역을 대상으로 자전거도로 선정 시 종단경사 기준의 활용 방안으로 이용될 것이다.

To estimate fuel consumption of a vehicle, a car can be tested on chassis dynamometer. In this case, test causes a lot of time and money. To predict the fuel efficiency of vehicles in the design stage or early stage of development, the development of computer simulation model is necessary. Using simulation to predict the fuel consumption, the driving model which consists of time-velocity profile and time-grade profile is necessary In this study, vehicle model is developed in MatLab/simulink to estimate real driving fuel consumption rate with time-velocity profile, time-shift gear profile and time-grade profile. Vehicle model consists of driver model, engine model, power train model, and so on. On-road vehicle tests to verify the vehicle model are carried out for analyzing the result of simulation and comparing with those of the experiments.

본 논문에서는 낮은 도로 조명을 위한 freeform reflector를 설계하였다. 높이에 비해 넓은 차선까지 배광을 보내야 하는 낮은 도로 조명의 경우, 기존의 등주식 도로 조명에 비해 균제도를 맞추기 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 조명 등급 M3를 만족시키기 위해 reflector를 part 9개로 나누어 part 별 반사면의 기울기를 변화시켜 원하는 배광을 갖도록 하였고, 각 점을 기준으로 fitted curve를 그려 이에 따른 수식을 도출하였다. LightTools의 street light simulation을 통해 M3 조명 등급에 만족하는 것을 확인하였고 직접 제작하여 실제 도로상에서 조명 등급을 만족시키며 설계 결과에 대한 타당성을 입증하였다.
