Abstract

With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution era, interest in autonomous driving technology is increasing. Accordingly it is necessary to seek safe driving by recognizing surrounding situations using sensors attached to autonomous vehicles along with the applicability of existing traffic facilities to autonomous driving lanes and the utilization of HD maps. In this study, in order to deduce the role of sensor only physical facilities which recognized through a laser scanner on an autonomous vehicle developed to improve road and traffic infrastructure, through comparative analysis with existing road facilities such as road signs, safety signs, and gaze guidance facilities. Sign facilities can promote driving safety by allowing autonomous vehicles to perform specific actions directly. In order to promote safe driving by recognizing sign facilities by using sensors for autonomous vehicles, it is necessary to prepare standards for installation, management, and use, and it is considered that management and supervision should be carried out continuously according to the standards.

4차 산업혁명 시대의 도래에 따라 자율주행 기술에 관한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 이에 따라 기존 교통시설에 대한 자율주행차의 적용 가능성 및 정밀도로지도의 활용과 함께 자율주행차에 부착된 센서를 이용하여 주변 상황을 인지함으로써 안전한 주행을 모색해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행시대에 도로· 교통 인프라 개선을 위해 개발한 자율주행차에 장착된 센서를 통해 인지하는 표지 시설의 활용을 위해 기존 도로시설물인 도로표지, 교통안전표지, 시선유도시설과 정밀도로지도의 시설물 관련 레이어와의 비교분석을 통한 자율주행차량이 인식 가능한 표지 시설의 역할을 도출한다. 자율주행차량이 인식 가능한 표지 시설은 자율주행차에 직접 특정한 행동을 수행하도록 하는 등의 역할을 함으로써 안전주행을 도모할 수 있다. 자율주행차가 센서를 이용하여 표지시설을 인지함으로써 주행안전을 도모하기 위해서는 설치와 관리 및 활용 기준의 마련이 필요하며, 기준에 따라 지속해서 관리 및 감독이 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
