PURPOSES : The "Super-Bus Rapid Transit" (S-BRT) standard guidelines recommend installing physical facilities to separate bus lanes, so as to remove possible conflicts with other traffic when using an existing road as an S-BRT route. Based on a collision simulation, we reviewed the protective performance and installation method of a low-profile barrier, i.e., one that does not occupy much of the width of the road as a physical facility and does not obstruct the driver's vision. METHODS : The LS-DYNA collision analysis software was used to model the low-profile barrier, and a small car collision simulation was performed with two different installation methods and by changing the collision speeds of the vehicle. The installation methods were divided into a fixed installation method based on on-site construction and a precast method, and collision speeds of 80 and 100 km/h were applied. The weight of the crash vehicle was 1.3 tons, and the segment lengths of the low-profile barriers were 2.5 and 4.0 m, respectively. The lowprofile barriers were modeled as precast concrete blocks, and the collision simulation for a fixed concrete barrier was performed by fixing the nodes at the bottom of the low-profile barrier. The low-profile barrier comprised a square cross-section reinforced concrete structure, and the segments were connected by connecting steel pipes with varying diameters to wire ropes. RESULTS : From comparing and analyzing the small car collision simulations for the changes in collision speeds and installation methods of the low-profile barrier, a significant difference was found in the theoretical head impact velocity (THIV) and acceleration severity index(ASI) for the 2.5-m barrier at a collision speed of 80 km/h. However, the differences in the installation method were not significant for the 4.0-m barrier. The occupant safety index with a collision speed of 80 km/h was calculated to be below the limit regardless of the installation method, and the length of the segment satisfied the occupant protection performance. At a collision speed of 100 km/h, when the segment length of the 2.5-m barrier was fixed, the THIV value exceeded the limit value; thus, the occupant protection performance was not satisfied, and the occupant safety index differed depending on the installation method. The maximum rotation angle of the vehicle, which reflects the behavior of the vehicle after the collision, also varied depending on the installation method, and was generally small in the case of precast concrete. CONCLUSIONS : Low-profile barriers can be installed using a fixed or precast method, but as a result of the simulation, the precast movable barrier shows better results in terms of passenger safety. Therefore, it would be advantageous to secure protection performance by installing a low-profile barrier with the precast method for increased safety in high-speed vehicle collisions.

최근 도심항공모빌리티(UAM) 상용화에 앞서 도심 내 항공 교통수단 관련 산업에 대한 연구개발 중요성이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 도심항공모빌리티(UAM) 환경을 조성하기 위해서 핵심 항공 이동 수단 비행체인 개인용 항공기 (PAV) 기체에 관한 연구가 수행되고 있으나, 탑승자 관점의 연구가 상대적으로 부족한 상황이다. 특히 PAV는 탑승 자의 새로운 생활공간으로 활용될 것으로 예상되기 때문에 탑승자의 실내행위를 지원하는 실내공간 설계를 위해서 는 PAV 기체에서 발생하는 물리적 요소가 인체에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구가 필수적으로 이루어져야 한다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 PAV의 공중 운항 특성으로 인해 인체에 영향을 주는 제약 요소를 도출하고, 이러한 제약 요소가 실내행위를 수행하는 탑승자 인체에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구 결과, 항공 이동 수단 비행 기체 PAV 는 4,000ft 이하에서 운항해야 하는 기준에 따라, 운항고도에 따른 제약 요소는 소음, 진동, 저주파 운동에 의한 멀미 로 나타났다. 이러한 제약 요소가 실내행위에 영향을 미친다는 관점에서 PAV에서 행할 수 있는 실내행위를 자율주 행 자동차, 비행기, PAV 컨셉 사례를 활용하여 도출하고 인체에 미치는 영향과 수준을 고려하여 실내행위 지원을 위한 제약 요소 권장기준을 설정하였다. 또한 실내행위 지원을 위한 제약 요소의 인체 영향 수준을 감소시키기 위해 서는 시트의 형태 및 내장기능(진동 저감 기능, 온도조절, LED조명 등), 개인 좌석별 지향성 스피커를 활용한 외부소 음 감소, 소음과 진동 감소를 위한 내장재 등을 실내공간 설계에 반영해야 함을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 PAV 실내행 위에 영향을 주는 제약 요소를 도출하였고, 인체에 미치는 영향 수준을 확인하였으며, 추후 PAV 실내 설계 시 기초 자료로써 활용할 수 있다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

자율주행 5단계(mind-off)에서는 운전에서 해방된 탑승자가 차량 내에서 대면 대화, 업무, 휴식, 영화 감상 등의 다양한 활동이 될 것으로 예상된다. 특히 자동차 실내 공간의 다양한 변화가 예상된다. 또한 미국자동차협회(American Automobile Association)가 시행한 조사에서 73%가 자율주행 자동차에 탑승하는 것이 두렵다고 응답하였고, 자율주행 5단계에서는 안전의 주체가 자율주행자동차로 이양이 예상되므로 사용자 경험 관점에서 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 최근 완전자율주행자동차의 안전성 확보에 관한 다양한 연구가 이뤄지고 있으나 실제 탑승자의 심리적 안전성 확보 관점에서의 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 AHP 분석 기법에 기반하여 설문조사를 진행하였다. 그 결과 각 실내 행위 유형에 따라 탑승자의 심리적 안전성 확보를 위한 자동차 안전장치의 우선순위를 도출하였고 도출된 결과를 기반으로 탑승자의 심리적 안전성을 확보를 위한 실내 공간을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 탑승자의 심리적 안전성을 충족하는 실내공간 설계를 위한 방향성을 제시한 것에 의의가 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 사용자의 심리적 안전성 확보를 위한 완전 자율주행 자동차 실내 환경 조성이 이루어질 것으로 기대한다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between occupant impact velocities and occupant injury indices under the restraint of an airbag and a seat belt, during frontal crash events. METHODS : The frontal crash test data of 93 tests conducted according to the Korea New Car Assessment Program (KNCAP) were investigated. The test data was measured by using a dummy to obtain occupant injury indices for the head, chest, neck, and upper legs. Occupant impact velocities (OIVx and OIVz) were calculated from the head acceleration of the test dummy. Pearson's correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation between occupant impact velocities and occupant injury indices. In addition, the occupant impact velocities at the center of gravity of a vehicle, obtained by using the accelerations measured at the test vehicle's B-pillars, were investigated. RESULTS: The OIVx threshold obtained from the test dummies, which corresponds to the HIC15 of 700, was 70 km/h for a sedan, and 72 km/h for an SUV, which is significantly higher than the occupant impact velocity of 44 km/h, the limit of the domestic guideline on “Installation and management guide for roadside safety facilities”. This difference can be attributed to the influence of the air bags and seat belts. Additionally, the OIVx threshold obtained from the center of gravity of the vehicle corresponding to the HIC15 of 700 was approximately 72 km/h. CONCLUSIONS: Occupant safety performance criteria for the condition that airbags operate and seat belts are restrained, are required for the frontal impact tests of road safety facilities using a collision velocity of 60 km/h or higher.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to propose amendments to the Act on Financial Support to introduce and operate intercity buses with wheelchair lift. METHODS : The existing Act concerning required item(Vehicle modification, Terminal modification, Operating Losses) for the introduction and operation of intercity buses with wheelchair lift is reviewed, a revision of the Act is prepared for the insufficient part. RESULTS : In order to introduce intercity buses with wheelchair lifts, vehicle modifications and terminal modifications are required. If a wheelchair user rides an intercity bus equipped with a wheelchair lift, seat losses are also generated. (The space occupied by one wheelchair is equivalent to six regular intercity bus seats or three superior bus seats.) Under the existing Act, financial support for vehicle modification is possible but financial support for terminal modification and operating losses is impossible. When proposing an intercity bus with wheelchair lift, there is evidence of financial support but there is no representation of the central and local government share ratio. Therefore, this study proposes a share ratio for the central and local government with regard to the cost of vehicle modifications. It also proposes a legal basis for financial support for terminal modifications and operating losses.

With increasing demands of transportation services for disabled or aged people, who need wheelchairs, it is recommended to install wheelchairs inside automotive vehicles. However, wheelchairs are not effectively safe devices during car crash unless they are properly fixed. So far, few data have been found related to wheelchair safety or characteristics during car crash, therefore, frontal crash simulations have been carried out based on the FE models of a dummy and a conventional wheelchair including the wheelchair fixing belts and the install plate in the present study. Head injury criteria (HIC) and motion criteria (MC) are investigated and the optimum value of the design variable was found by the Robust design.

노면의 요철은 차량의 동역학적 거동에 의해 시트의 진동 또는 움직임을 유발하여 탑승자의 승차감을 저해시키는 요인이 된다. 차량의 동역학적 거동을 단순화한 모델 중 IRI(International Roughness Index)를 비롯하여 널리 적용되고 있는 Quarter-car모델은 그림 1과 같이 네 바퀴 차량의 1/4 모델로서, 현가상질량(sprung mass)의 수직 변위를 계산하는 모델이다. 그러나 실제 차량의 거동은 수직 방향 거동 외에도 네 바퀴의 거동 차이에 의해 그림 2와 같이 중심축에 대한 회전 운동을 하며, 이로 인해 시트에 앉아 있는 탑승자의 회전진동을 유발한다. 탑승자의 진동방향은 3축 병진운동과 각 축의 회전운동으로 그 림 3과 같이 정의할 수 있으며, 직진 주행 중인 차량으로 가정할 경우 z축에 대한 회전운동인 yaw 거동은 발생하지 않는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 roll, pitch 회전거동과 연직 z방향 거동에 노출된 탑승자의 승차 감을 모사, 평가하기 위해 그림 4와 같이 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 또한 sin파형에 반응하는 시뮬레이터 패널 평가결과를 바탕으로 인체에 민감하게 영향을 주는 차량 거동요소의 주파수 특성을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이터 분석을 통하여 roll, pitch 및 z방향 거동의 특성에 따라 시뮬레이터에 탑승한 패널의 정성 적인 승차감 평가가 달라지는 것을 그림 5와 같이 확인하였다. roll과 pitch거동의 경우 8Hz 대역에서, z방향 거동은 4~8Hz대역에서 패널의 승차감에 가장 민감한 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 양호- 불량의 경계에 해당하는 거동특성을 비교한 결과, 동일한 회전변위에 대해서 전반적으로 pitch의 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 향후 본 연구결과를 토대로 승차감을 정량적으로 표현할 수 있는 방안을 마련할 계획이며, 도로이용자에게 보다 우수한 승차감을 제공하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study dealt with passenger safety assessment of roadside barrier structures using high anti-corrosion steels, which are called hot-dip zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy-coated steels. We performed a simulation with high anti-corrosion barriers capable of absorbing impacts and calculated the breakage stress to assess passenger safety. Passenger safety was assessed by calculating the THIV (Theoretical Head Impact Velocity) and PHD (Post-Impact Head Deceleration). This process compares normal steel materials and high anti-corrosion steel materials. The simulation test results for the roadside barriers built with high strength anti-corrosion steels with reduced sectional thickness meet the safety evaluation criteria, hence the proposed roadside barrier made by high strength and high anti-corrosion hot-dip zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy-coated steel will be a good solution to serve passenger safety as well as save maintenance cost and better structural performance.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this article is to compare and evaluate the riding comfort of a passenger in tunnels depending on different surface textures of concrete pavement. METHODS: Evaluation of riding comfort is conducted at 17 sections, which have different surface texture such as transverse tinned(TT), longitudinal tinned(LT) and diamond grinded(DG). A triaxial accelerometer was set up on the passenger seat surface of the test vehicle to measure vibrations of an occupant, then the effects of vibration on comfort and health were evaluated by ISO 2631. And microphones were installed at passenger's ears height to measure sound pressure level(SPL) in the test vehicle. Additionally, a surface microphone was installed on the inside of wheel arch to evaluate noise between tire and pavement by NCPX method. All tests were conducted cruising at 100km/h. RESULTS : The results of all tests are as follows. First, both vibration magnitudes for comfort and for health in LT and DG sections are almost same and they represent lower than those in TT sections. Second, the average SPL of DG shows the lowest decibels among them. And third, it is founded that interior noise is significantly affected by noise between tire and pavement. CONCLUSIONS : It may be concluded that DG can provide more excellent riding comfort to passenger than LT or TT. Therefore, it is necessary to consider applying DG to existing pavement surface to improve surface condition when the driving environment especially requires riding comfort like a long tunnel.

This study carried out passenger safety assessment by real car crash simulation of composite post structures for road facilities. The effects of different material properties of composites for various parameters are studied using the LS-DYNA finite element program for this study. In this study, the existing finite element analysis of steel post structures using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study dynamic behaviors of the structures made of various composite materials. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different models with displacements and stress distribution occurred in the post and car.

25% offset high speed frontal impact is the vehicle will crash left 25%(Quarter of the width of the vehicle). 47.6% of drivers killed in vehicle alone and car to car frontal impact occurred in frontal impact small overlap.
