Abstract

Population aging is a shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages. This is usually reflected in an increase in the population's mean and median ages, a decline in the proportion of the population composed of children, and a rise in the proportion of the population that is elderly. Population ageing is widespread across the world. Barrier-free or Design for All concept consists of modifying buildings or facilities so that they can be used by people who are disabled or have physical impairments. Design for All criteria are aimed at ensuring that everyone can participate in the Information society. Safety-related products being easy to adapt according to different needs, or using standardized interfaces that can be accessed simply by using assistive technology. To this end, policy makers and service providers, especially in the ubiquitous technologies, produce new technologies, products, services and applications for pedestrians.

저출산과 고령화에 따른 교통약자의 증가에 따라 베리어프리 환경에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 고령화 현상은 세계적인 추세로 변화하는 사회여건을 고려하고 발전하는 유비쿼터스 기술을 이용한 교통안전시설과 이동지원시설의 설치가 필요한 시점이다. 장애인, 노약자를 위한 이동성 향상을 위하여 최근 급진적으로 발전되고 있는 IT기술을 활용하여 제거 또는 감소시켜 줌으로써 Barrier Free 환경이 구축되도록 하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 기술의 적용을 위하여 보행 및 안전지원시스템의 도입 필요성 및 도입시 필요한 고려사항에 대한 검토결과를 제시한다. 해외 기술개발 사례를 분석하여 향후 도로 및 보행환경에서의 유비쿼터스 기술의 도입을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고, 도입 방안을 검토하였다.
