Abstract

Road facilities for safe driving were designed for drivers to distinguish them during day and night, but they cannot play their role when the weather becomes worse. Recently, the road facilities have been designed by using electric and electronic technology so that they can be displayed well at a long distance, but they should be replaced very often due to their frequent breakdown. So, there are many problems in traffic calming and maintenance. In this study, to solve the above problems, semi-permanent LED beacon light was installed in the area where traffic accident are frequent, and monitoring system was developed so that the LED beacon light can be maintenanced by connecting with system. For the above installation and development, system was based on window operating system and it was developed for worker to operate it by using P.C. through connecting with wireless local area network. The result of this study led to analyzing state information on the battery of field-installed LED beacon light in real time, and manegement to effectively by predicting their life cycle.

안전한 도로주행을 위하여 설치된 도로시설물들은 주야간에도 식별할 수 있도록 제작되었으나, 기상악화 시 제 기능을 발휘하지 못하고 있다. 최근에는 원거리에서도 명확하게 인식할 수 있는 전기전자기술로 제작하고 있으나, 이들은 고장이 빈번하여 수시로 교체해야 하므로 교통정온화와 유지관리에 많은 문제점들이 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 교통사고가 빈번한 지역에 반영구적으로 이용할 수 있는 LED 표시등을 설치하고, 이를 시스템과 연계하여 유지 관리할 수 있는 모니터링시스템을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 시스템은 윈도우 운영체계 기반으로 하였고, 무선통신망과 연결하여 P.C에서 운용될 수 있도록 개발하였다. 그 결과 현장에 설치된 LED 표시등의 배터리 상태정보를 실시간으로 분석을 할 수 있었고, 그 수명주기를 예측함으로서 효율적으로 관리할 수 있었다.
