무인화물차의 물류비용 분석에 관한 연구

Abstract

According to the increase in research for autonomous vehicle in automobile industries, autonomous cargo truck has been focused to analyse its efficiency in logistics area.

The inland transportation has been a serious problem such as in traffic accident, traffic congestion in downtown, air pollution, noise and etc. even though it has a great impact in logistics industries. Especially, the transportation schedule for night time driver needs to be improved in order to prevent their sleepy driving in night which induced heavy accident in highway.

In this study, the effectiveness of autonomous cargo truck will be analysed by considering the logistics cost including the social effects. First of all, the development status of each country for autonomous vehicle will be given. Also the main technology of vehicle and its advantage will be deduced. Secondly, the logistics cost will be analysed through direct and indirect costs.

By considering the direct and indirect costs, the logistics cost will be distinguished between four items: Vehicle operation cost, Traffic facility cost, Traffic accident cost, and Environment cost.

In the analysis, the logistics cost is compared between driver cargo truck and autonomous cargo truck. Also the sensitive analysis will be given by considering autonomous cargo truck cost, insurance fee, and driver cost.

As an analysis result, the autonomous cargo vehicle can reduce the logistics cost to approximately 21.8% compared with conventional driver cargo trucks and it can also reduce 290,000 Won from Seoul to Busan for logistics cost. From the logistics cost analysis, we can verify that the autonomous cargo vehicle will be useful for logistics area in future.
