바이모달트램의 자동운전 성능시험

초록

Bimodal tram is developed by KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute). This vehicle will be used for public transportation system. The Bimodal tram has the advantages of both bus and train. Bus system has the advantages of flexibility of the routes delivering passengers to the destination and easy accessibility. The vehicle has a navigation control system (NCS) for automatic driving. NCS has a reference path which is designed by specific S/W tool. The vehicle has to follow this reference path in automatic mode. NCS uses magnet markers to calculate the vehicle position. The vehicle lane is marked with permanent magnets that are buried in the road. The control performance for navigation controller has to be verified before being applied in public transportation system. In this purpose, we have tested the Bimodal tram and NCS on path tracking and precision docking performance.
