Abstract

The purpose of the study focuses on increasing dangers of using smartphones while driving recently, and then is to come up with measures to reduce traffic accidents caused by using devices like a smartphone. This study conducted a survey of drivers using their smartphones while driving to understand risks caused by using a smartphones while operating vehicles. Results showed that a lot of activities may lead to distracted driving, such as texting, making phone calls, using GPS or road maps, game, etc. In this paper, we presented that functions of smartphone should be controlled partially while driving for safe driving performance. These results suggest that using IoT-based smart devices like a beacon and a smartphone application implemented, tentatively called "Safe driving solution", while driving can reduce traffic accidents. Thus, in order to effectively prevent dangerous driving due to the use of smartphones, a "Safe driving solution" which restricts all functions except for calls and driver assistance functions is suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 최근 증가하는 운전 중 스마트폰의 사용 시 발생되는 위험도를 파악하고 스마트폰과 같은 기기조작에 따른 교통사고 증가에 대처하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자함에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 운전 중 스마트폰의 사용으로 인해 발생되는 위험도를 파악하기 위해 스마트폰을 사용하는 운전자를 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 그 결과 운전자들이 운전 중에 문자, 전화통화, GPS 또는 지도의 사용과 게임 등 다양한 행동을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 설문 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 운전자의 안전운전을 위해 운전 중에 스마트폰의 일부 기능을 제어하는 기기의 개발을 제안한다. 이것은 IoT(Internet of Things; 사물인터넷)를 기반으로 하는 비콘(Beacon)등의 블루투스 기기와 스마트폰에 내장된 어플리케이션(Application)으로 구현될 수 있으며, 본 논문에서는 이것을 가칭 "안전운전솔루션"이라 명한다. 운전 중 스마트폰의 최소기능을 제외한 부가 기능들이 차량이 움직일 때 차단되는 "안전운전솔루션"은 운전 중 스마트폰의 사용으로 인해 발생하는 교통사고를 줄이는데 가장 효과적인 대안이 될 수 있다.
