본 연구에서는 멀티콥터를 이용한 무인항공용 방제약제 살포시 사용하는 상용 노즐에 3가지 타입에 따른 살포양상과 피복도를 조사하였다. 처리구에 플루페녹수론·메타플루미존(flufenoxuron+metaflumizone) 액상수화제와 비펜트린(bifenthrin) 유제를 살포하고난 뒤, 살포 약제의 낙하입자를 감수지를 이용하여 측정하고 감수지의 피복도를 조사하였다. 낙하입자 분석결과 풍속의 차이에 따라 노즐별 낙하입자 균일도에 차이를 보였으며 제형별 차이는 없었다. 노즐별 분사량은 공식 제공정보와 실제 분사량에 차이를 보였다. 이 결과들은 무인항공기 이용 농업현장 방제 및 약제등록시험 가이드라인 설정에 근거자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

PURPOSES : In this study, the factors influencing traffic accidents of commercial vehicles in the transportation industry were examined. The evidence observed in this study showed how it contributes to the establishment of safety management policies. METHODS : Safety management data obtained from the Korean Transportation Safety Authority were integrated. A multi-regression analysis was performed by comparing data for the past three years of traffic accident data. RESULTS : Through multi-regression analysis, items that significantly influenced the safety evaluation index (the number of traffic accidents per vehicle owned and the number of dangerous driving actions per 100 km per person) were analyzed. Items with similar patterns observed for various commercial vehicle industries were also analyzed. Monthly average drop off rate, number of law violations per driver, percentage of drivers above 65 years old, percentage of drivers that have completed the compulsory education, number of vehicles owned, and driving distance per vehicle are the variables that influenced the safety evaluation index. CONCLUSIONS : There is a growing need to establish safety management policies and management measures to enhance the voluntary safety management capabilities of the industry. Safety management should be conducted through the analysis of traffic accident impact factors for commercial vehicles.

PURPOSES : This study analyzed explanatory variables, such as dangerous driving behaviors, in a negative binomial regression model, using the Digital Tachograph data of commercial vehicles, to assess the factors associated with freeway accidents. METHODS : Fixed parameter and random parameter negative binomial regression models were constructed using freeway accident data of commercial vehicles from January 2007 to July 2018 on the Gyeongbu Expressway from West Ulsan Interchange to Gimcheon Junction. RESULTS : Six explanatory variables (logarithm of average annual daily traffic, sunny, rainy, and snowy weather conditions, road curvature, and driving behaviors that included sudden stops) were found to impact the occurrence of freeway accidents significantly. Two of these variables (snowy weather conditions and sudden stops among dangerous driving behaviors) were analyzed as random parameters. These variables were shown as probabilistic variables that do not have a fixed impact on traffic accidents CONCLUSIONS : The variables analyzed as random parameters should be carefully considered when the freeway operating authorities plan an improvement project for highway safety.

In this study, in order to solve the quality problem (Safety accident) that the chain breaks out of the wheel gear due to the problem of the spare tire carrier device, the wheel gear is rotated in such a way that the upper part of the chain is caught on one side of the triangular wheel gear. When falling, the tire falls due to the chain falling off and the chain is caught by the wheel gear so that it cannot bear the tire load and slip occurs. Also, in order to solve the quality problem that the chain is caught (Due to malfunction), the “ㄷ” shaped chain the guide should play the role of guiding the movement of the chain by holding the chain in the direction. The technical development goal is to solve the problem of the chain dropping and the chain hanging from the wheel gear of this product.

In this study, the thermal behavior of adaptor housing was analyzed by the numerical method. The boundary conditions used to die casting process were the temperature of molten metal and injection time. As the temperature of the molten metal increased, the tensile strength of the product decreased by the blow hole generated in the molten metal, and the decreasing tendency was gradually decreased. As the injection time of the molten metal increased, the heat flux rose, but the degree of the increase was very small. So, the injection time of the molten metal had little effect on the thermal behavior and diffusion of the adapter housing. As a result, the heat of the molten metal was transferred into the housing and the thermal behavior spread widely.

There are many different causes of air drum brake judder noise in commercial vehicles. This study set out to identify those causes from the perspective of brake structure, not taking the environment into account. For that purpose, the investigator measured vibrations and noises in case of brake judder noise and analyzed their causes. The structural vibrations of the brake were analyzed to identify the causes with an experimental method involving O.D.S. (Operational Deflection Shape) analysis and model testing. In an effort to find directions for improvement with an analytical method, the investigator modeled the brake system in an analytical manner, correlated it with the experiment results, and tested directions for improvement in an analytical fashion. The structural rigidity of the brake that had been tested analytically was increased so that the generation frequency and structural vibration frequency of brake judder noises would not be contiguous. The parts of high structural rigidity were tested for brake judder noises with a model test and vehicle test.

Electro-accel pedal is needed to raise fuel efficiency by controlled pedal angle signal regardless driver’s willings to fast start or stop pedaling, and to reduce muscle fatigue by designed Ergonomic structure. For this purpose, in this study, we designed new mechanism of accel pedal in a double linkage with two springs to minimize the force of pedaling on main pedal period for HECV in close the future. We have achieved the simulation to dynamic characteristics and experimented to measure the pedal force with proto sample, and confirmed the potentialities this new mechanism.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this system (Rear Lighting System) is to provide illumination for the driver to operate the commercial vehicle safely after dark in highway, to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle, and especially be suggesting the finest observable improvement method, depending on color and pattern of rear lighting system of truck for midnight highway traffic. METHODS : Rear lightning system as an improving way for forward commercial vehicles lighting the securing sight from human factors and the surrounding environment in midnight driving. For this one, basic materials were collected from the data analysis about many types of problems, and filed investigation for establishing Driving Simulator. also taking statistic test to human volunteers after finding recognizable distance of them. RESULTS : As a result, color with the highest visuality is amber followed by green-red-blue as in order for all road types. Especially almost no difference is found between red and green, also when the light is turn off, recognizable distances is wide difference compared to turn on the light. One more thing about study per pattern, upper and entire lighting have similar recognizable distances, but under lighting shows short distance with difficulty securing sight from medians. And straight section shows similar recognizable distances. By finding visuality improvement method depending on color and pattern of supplement taillight, it is expected to suggest quantitative judgement standard for introducing regulation and improvement of supplement taillight. CONCLUSIONS : Night time vehicle conspicuity to the rear is provided by rear position lamps. this study is showed that the color of light ramp is not important to be safe driving, most important is to turn on the light, recognizable distances is big different compared to turn off the rear light, so when the drivng dark in highway, have to turn on the light for reducing risk.

운전자의 인적요인분석을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 디지털 운행기록계에서는 GPS 속도, 방위각, RPM정보 등 극히 제한된 운행정보만을 기록하여 실제 운전자의 운전행태를 분석하는 데는 많은 한계가 있다. 또한, 현재 상업화가 활발히 이루어지고 있는 차량용 블랙박스는 운전자의 운전행동보다는 차량에 대한 위험사항을 기록하고 있는 방식으로서 운전자의 실제 운전행태를 분석하기에는 많은 문제점을 보이고 있다. 따라서 기존의 교통안전관련 연구들을 살펴보면 인적요인분석에 필요한 운전자의 위험운전분석이 극히 제한적으로 이루어져 있는 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사업용자동차의 위험운전유형과 각 운전유형을 결정하는 임계치를 이용하여 버스운전자의 운전행태를 분석하였다. 또한, 버스운전자에게 위험운전에 대해 단말기를 통해 실시간으로 경고정보를 자동 제공하여 실시간경고정보에 따른 효과분석을 실시하였다. 운전자들의 행태분석에 대한 해석은 차량의 가속도 센서와 회전 각속도 센서의 종방향 가속도(Ax), 횡방향 가속도(Ay), 회전 각속도(Yaw rate) 등에 대한 분석을 통해 이루어졌다.

Vehicle occupant exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been a subject of concern in recent years because of higher levels of VOCs inside vehicles as compared to the surrounding ambient atmosphere and because of the toxicity of VOCs. The effectiveness of two commercial ACDs for the removal of selected VOCs in the interior of automobiles was evaluated on 115 commutes through urban (Taegu) commutes by two cars and 9 idles. The idling and commuting studies conducted under four different driving conditions showed that the two commercial ACDs were not effective for the removal of VOCs in the interior of vehicles. The concentrations of all target VOCs except benzene were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the interior of older car than of newer car. The mean levels of benzene and toluene measured in this study were well excess of earlier other studies in the United States, besides Los Angeles with which was comparable. It was reported that the in-vehicle exposure to benzene and corresponding upper-bound cancer risk were about 8 times higher than those for outdoor environment, while they were about half of those from indoor environment.
