저탄소 녹색성장 기본법에서 명시한 ‘대중교통과 자전거 이용 활성화’를 위하여, 국내 여러 지자체에서 공공자전거 사업을 시행하였 으며, 자전거 이용자 수가 많이 증가하였다. 현재 국내에서 규정하는 자전거의 통행방식은 간접좌회전(hook turn) 방식으로, 증가된 자 전거교통량이 횡단보도를 통해 좌회전 통행 시 상충 가능성이 증가할 수 있다. 또한 자율주행차량의 혼재교통상황을 고려하여, 자전거 가 차량과 함께 통행할 시 안전성을 보장받을 수 있는지 혼재교통류에 적합한 통행방식을 연구할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 혼재교통환경에서 자전거 이용자가 안전하고 운영성 높은 방식으로 통행할 수 있도록 4가지 자전거 좌회전 통행방식을 적용하고, 자 율주행차량 점유율에 따른 적합한 통행방식을 제시하고자 한다. Hook-turn 방식을 기본 시나리오로 하여, 자전거 우선 신호를 도입한 bike box, 일반 bike box, 자전거 전용 신호를 도입한 narrow lane 시나리오를 비교하였다. bike box의 크기가 분석 결과에 큰 영향을 미 치는 요인이 될 수 있으므로, 5m 폭의 크기로 고정하였다. 시뮬레이션 환경에서 첨두시와 비 첨두시 교통량을 적용하여 분석하였으며, 안전성 평가지표로 CPI(Crash Potential Index)과 운영성 평가지표로 지체시간(Delay time)을 활용하여 결과를 비교하였다. hook turn시나 리오는 사고 발생 위험도가 작으며, 자전거 전용 신호가 적용된 narrow lane과 일반 bike box에서 사고 발생 위험도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 자전거 전용 신호를 적용한 bike box를 도입한 시나리오에서 운영성 측면에서 지체가 작게 나타났으며, 자율주행차량 점유율이 증가할 시 차간거리를 고려함에 따라 교통류 안전성도 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 자율주행차량 혼재 교통류를 고려하여 자전거 좌회전 통행방식을 자전거 우선 신호를 적용한 bike box 방식으로 규정한다면, 접근로별 50대 미만/시의 자전거 교통량이 관측되는 신 호교차로에서 안전성과 운영성이 향상되는 효과를 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, design of a recumbent bicycle for loading cargo is introduced as an application example of practical engineering. This device consists of a main frame due to the main load, an occupant seat considering the human body structural condition, a steering device(handle), a power transmission device (gear/chain, pedal, and crank), and a braking device (disk brake). In order to design and manufacture of the device, various subjects learned during the school year are reviewed and practiced. In particular, by designing the shape considering the load acting on the recumbent and the structural conditions of the human body, it is possible to understand the detailed mechanical mechanism as well as the understanding for the basic design. Through this case study, students can develop and enhance their creativity and practical skills for related industries by designing and manufacturing a real recumbent bike and, if necessary, industrializing these skills.

환경과 교통이슈로 자전거가 대안적 교통수단으로 주목받는 가운데, 많은 나라에서 자전거 이용을 촉진하기 위해 공유경제 플랫폼인 공공자전거 사업을 운영 중이다. 서울시 역시 공공자전거인 “따릉이”를 5년째 운영 중이며, 이제 따릉이는 서울의 단거리 교통수단 중 하나로 자리매김하였다. 이 연구는 따릉이가 몇 가지 문제점을 가지고 있으며 개선이 필요하다고 주장한다. 이 연구는 자전거 흐름의 시공간적 패턴을 파악하고 그 원인을 설명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 따릉이의 요일, 시간대별 이용 패턴을 분석하고, 서울시의 주요 자전거 네트워크 클러스터를 찾는다. 네트워크 클러스터를 찾기 위해서 Getis와 Ord의 Gi통계를 공간 네트워크로 확장 적용하였다. 이후 통계적 유의성을 검증하기 위해 부트스트랩 치환법(Bootstrap permutation)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 서울시 에서 시계열에 영향받지 않는 명확한 자전거 네트워크 클러스터를 확인하였다. 하지만 국지적 분석 결과는 시간대별 통행 방향에 명백한 차이를 보여준다. 이 연구는 따릉이의 효과적, 효율적 운영을 위해서 따릉이 이용 패턴의 시간, 공간적 차이를 측정하고 반영해야 한다고 제안한다.

Cassettes are a key component for power transmission and smooth shifting, and their construction consists of sprockets and spiders. The sprocket receives the force generated by pressing the pedal through the chain and rotates the rear wheel. It is a circular part. As the shifting system for efficient driving of bicycles has been developed, chains and sprockets require more complicated shapes than the conventional ones, and researches are being conducted to increase the production efficiency of sprockets. Cr-Mo steel is mainly used as the material for sprockets, but the trend of converting high-performance cassette material to titanium, which is a material with high specific strength, is gradually increasing. In this study, we also studied the molding technology of titanium material for the 5th and 6th stage shape design, the finite element analysis and the mass production using the press mold.

Recently, bicycle has means of effective healthy transportation, and riding the bicycles is considered as popular recreational and sporting activities. Also, the saddle, steering system, driving device and braking device are researched briskly because of consumer’s need for driving performance and comfort. Especially, the importance of a cassette responsible for transmission function by transmitting power to the drive shaft through the chain is very focused. The writer conducted structural analysis for the sprocket of each level using the ANSYS widely used for the analysis. Speed shifting performance was enhanced by minimization / simplification of shifting point through a sort of tooth profile of the cassette. By partitioning a clear value type and other shifting point, it has been modified to enable smooth speed-shifting. In addition, as titanium precision forming process, this study studied the molding technique by blanking and dies forging for mass production of the cassette. so it could be expected that the entire drive train would utilize that in the future. The stamping process capability for thin materials for the mass production of the sprockets is applicable to producing automobile parts, so lightweight component production is likely to be possible through that, for the safety of driving.

PURPOSES: Seoul introduced public bicycles to reduce environmental pollution and create a healthy society. Because the use of bicycles is highly weather dependent, and bicycles are rented by the people, member characteristics and seasonal influences should be considered. This study analyzed bicycle traffic characteristics considering seasonal and member characteristics and highlighted some implications. METHODS: The Yeouido and Sangam districts, which have multiple business districts, were taken as the areas of interest. In order to reflect seasonal and membership characteristics, the traffic volume, time of use, and characteristics of each zone were categorized by season (spring, summer, autumn, winter) and membership type (season, daily, group). In addition, we analyzed the pattern of traffic volume and usage time according to the traffic purpose after separating rental locations into residential, business, subway, and park, reflecting the land characteristics. RESULTS: The results revealed that seasonal characteristics were high for bicycle traffic, time of use, and occupancy rate for park locations in spring and autumn. In terms of membership characteristics, group and daily users appeared as major visitors for park locations, and the trends of commuter pass users showed that bicycle use meets the purpose of introducing public bicycles. CONCLUSIONS: Traffic characteristics differed according to seasonal and membership characteristics. It is necessary to involve and extend the users of the commuter pass. Situations in which commuter pass users cannot function as a group or in which daily users monopolize bicycles (especially near parks, near subway stations, etc.) must be avoided.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to develop a methodology to estimate the minimum required separation distance (MRSD) between a vehicle and a bicycle when overtaking.METHODS: Three steps have been conducted to develop a methodology to estimate MSRD. First, a literature review has been conducted on the measurement of MSRD, and how it may be applied in Korea. Second, two assumptions have been made to develop a methodology to estimate the MSRD. The first assumption is that the maximum separation distance between a vehicle and a bicycle can be observed when they are at the same location longitudinally. In addition, it is assumed that the separation distance is invalid when the contra-flow exists. Finally, three cameras were installed at a height of 10 m to record the vehicle-bicycle interaction. Moreover, the vehicle trajectories as well as the separation distance were coded and analyzed. Through the hypothesis test and the interval estimation, the sample mean was tested and the confidence interval was estimated.RESULTS : 141 records of separation distance data were collected, and the hypothesis test demonstrated that the MSRD in Korea is significantly higher than other countries. In addition, the confidence interval of the population mean of MSRD is from 1.51 m to 1.65 m with 95% level of confidence.CONCLUSIONS: It is expected that the proposed methodology to estimate MSRD would be beneficial in studying road safety of vehicles and bicycles. Also, the proposed MSRD is expected to be designated in the act of road and transportation.
