The autonomous vehicle is based on an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) consisting of a sensor that collects information about the surrounding environment and a control module that determines the measured data. As interest in autonomous navigation technology grows recently, an easy development framework for ADAS beginners and learners is needed. However, existing development and verification methods are based on high performance vehicle simulator, which has drawbacks such as complexity of verification method and high cost. Also, most of the schemes do not provide the sensing data required by the ADAS directly from the simulator, which limits verification reliability. In this paper, we present an interactive ADAS development and verification framework using a 3D vehicle simulator that overcomes the problems of existing methods. ADAS with image recognition based artificial intelligence was implemented as a virtual sensor in a 3D car simulator, and autonomous driving verification was performed in real scenarios.

Recently, amid active research on domestic shipbuilding industry and IT convergence technology, with the development of satellite detection technology for ship safety operation, ships monitored the movement of ships with the mandatory long-range identification & tracking of vessels and automatic identification system. It is possible to help safe navigation, but it is necessary to develop safety device that alert the marine officer who rely on radar to correct conditions in case of weightlessness. Therefore, an ocean fog alarm system was developed to detect and inform using photo sensors. The fabricated ocean fog detect and alarm system consists of a small, low-power optical sensor transceiver and data sensing processing module. Through experiment, it is confirmed that the fabricated ocean fog detect and alarm system measure the corresponding concentration of ocean fog for fogless circumstance and fogbound circumstance, respectively. Furthermore, the fabricated system can control RPM of ship engine according to the concentration of ocean fog, and consequently, the fabricated system can be applied to assistant device for ship safety operation.

하천 및 저수지의 수량자료 수집을 위해 부자식 또는 레이더식 수위계 등의 계측기를 이용하여 수위의 변화를 측정한다. 그러나, 수량 모니터링을 위해 설치되는 계측기와 유지관리를 위한 인력소모 비용의 이유로 일부 지역에서만 제한적으로 수행되고 있어 정확한 수문 해석에 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저가의 센싱장비와 라즈베리파이를 활용한 ICT 기술을 수량 모니터링분야에 적용하여 수위 모니터링 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 라즈베리파이(Raspberry Pi 3 B Model)는 오픈소스 기반의 초소형 컴퓨터로 여러 센서를 연결하여 다양한 수문 인자(토양수분, 온도, 수위 등)들을 측정할 수 있으며, 통신 모듈이 기본 내장되어 있어 통신망 구축을 통해 측정데이터를 데이터베이스에 저장할 수 있다. 수위센서(eTape)와 초음파센서를 연결하여 실제 하천 유량 모니터링에 활용되고 있는 부자식 수위계 장비와 비교 분석을 통해 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 하였다. 검증방법은 인공강우실험을 위해 설치된 플륨관에 수위센서(eTape)와 초음파센서를 부착하여 기존 운영중인 부자식 수위계와 비교하였다. 부자식 수위계의 측정결과와 두 센서의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 결정계수(R²)가 0.94 이상으로 나타났다. 분석결과와 같이 기존 고가의 수위 관측장비들을 대체하여 저가의 센서 기반 모니터링 장비들의 실용화가 가능할 것이라 판단된다. 향후 연구에서는 다양한 센서(수위, 초음파, 카메라 등)를 이용하여 농업용수 물수지 분석에 활용할 계획이다. 농업용수는 수자원 총량 중 차지하는 비율이 높음에도 불구하고 정량적 데이터가 부족한 실정이며, 지역별 공급 특성이 다양하여 이를 계량화하기 위해서는 다수의 계측기가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발중인 센서를 활용하여 물순환 과정의 정량적인 계측을 통해 농업용수의 효율적인 관리 및 농업용수의 하천기여도 평가 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

블랙아이스는 눈에 쉽게 구분되지 않아 많은 교통사고를 초래하고 있다. 한국교통연구원 교통사고분석시스템에 따르면, 2017년부터 2021년까지 5년간의 서리/결빙으로 인한 교통사고 사망자는 122명, 적설로 인한 교통사고 사망자는 40명으로, 블랙아이스는 적설에 비해 위험성이 높은 것으로 나타난다. 과거의 다양한 연구에서 블랙아이스 생성조건을 기압과 한기 축적등의 조건에서 예측해왔지만, 이러한 기상학적 모델은 봄철 해빙기의 일교차로 인한 눈의 해동과 재냉각과 같은 다양한 기상 조건에서의 블랙아이스 탐지가 어렵다는 한계가 있어 최근에는 이미지 판별과 딥러닝모델(YOLO 등)을 기반으로 한 센서가 제시되고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 방법은 충분한 컴퓨팅 자원이 뒷받침되어야 하며, 블랙아이스 탐지까지 걸리는 속도가 빠르지 못한 편으로, 블랙아이스 초입 구간에서의 제동에 취약하다는 잠재적인 약점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 블랙아이스의 주 원인인 서리나 어는비가 발생하기 위해서 주변 공기가 이슬점 온도 이하, 노면온도와 이슬점이 어는점보다 낮아야 함을 이용, IoT 센서 모듈을 통해 Magnus 방정식으로 계산한 이슬점 온도와 노면 온도를 사용하는 이동식 블랙아이스 추정 장치를 제시한다. 본 장치는 대기압, 온도, 습도로부터 계산된 이슬점 온도와 노면 온도를 통한 서리발생 가능성과 대기 온도, 노면 온도를 통해 어는비의 발생환경 여부를 계산한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 블랙아이스 추정과 기상정보 생산을 동시에 가능케 하며, 추정 결과를 통합 수집서버에 전송함으로서 운전자에게 전방 블랙아이스 위험 구간을 조기에 전달하는 시스템과 이를 관리하기 위한 인프라를 구축하여 운전 시 결빙 미끄러짐 사고를 저감하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a sensor data sharing system for the safe and smooth operation of autonomous vehicles on two-way single lanes in traffic-isolated areas and implement the core module, the situational awareness technology. Two-way single lanes pose challenges for autonomous vehicles, particularly when encountering parked vehicles or oncoming traffic, leading to reversing issues. We introduce a system using infrastructure cameras to detect vehicles' approach, enter, and leave on twoway single lanes in real-time, transmitting this information to autonomous vehicles via V2N communication, thereby expanding the sensing range of the autonomous vehicles. The core part of the proposed system is the situational awareness of the two-way single lane using infrastructure cameras. In this paper, we implement this using object detection and tracking technology. Finally, we validate the implemented situational awareness technology using data collected from actual two-way single lanes.

In this paper, we propose ubiTrack, a system which tracks users' location in indoor environments by employing infrared-based proximity method. Most of recently developed systems have focussed on performance and accuracy. For this reason, they adopted the idea of centralized management, which gathers all information in a main system to monitor users' location. However, these systems raise privacy concerns in ubiquitous computing environments where tons of sensors are seamlessly embedded into environments. In addition, centralized systems also need high computational power to support multiple users. The proposed ubiTrack is designed as a passive mobile architecture to relax privacy problems. Moreover, ubiTrack utilizes appropriate area as a unit to efficiently track users. To achieve this, ubiTrack overlaps each sensing area by utilizing the TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) method. Additionally, ubiTrack exploits various filtering methods at each receiver and utilization module. The filtering methods minimize unexpected noise effect caused by external shock or intensity weakness of ID signal at the boundary of sensing area. ubiTrack can be applied not only to location-based applications but also to context-aware applications because of its associated module. This module is a part of middleware to support communication between heterogeneous applications or sensors in ubiquitous computing environments.

The emergence of compact and low-power wireless communication sensors and actuators in the technology supporting the ongoing miniaturization of processing and storage allows for entirely the new kinds of embedded systems. These systems are distributed and deployed in environments where they may have been designed into a particular control method, and are often very dynamic. Collection of devices can communicate to achieve a higher level of coordinated behavior. Wireless sensor nodes deposited in various places provide light, temperature, and activity measurements. Wireless sensor nodes attached to circuits or appliances sense the current or control the usage. Together they form a dynamic and multi-hop routing network connecting each node to more powerful networks and processing resources. Wireless sensor networks are a specific-application and therefore they have to involve both software and hardware. They also use protocols that relate to both applications and the wireless network. Wireless sensor networks are consumer devices supporting multimedia applications such as personal digital assistants, network computers, and mobile communication devices. Wireless sensor networks are becoming an important part of industrial and military applications. The characteristics of modem embedded systems are the capable of communicating adapting the different operating environments. In this paper, We designed and implemented sensor network system which shows through host PC sensing temperature and humidity data transmitted for wireless sensor nodes composed wireless temperature and humidity sensor and designs sensor nodes using embedded system with the intention of studying USN.

Smart sensing plays a key role in a variety of IoT applications, and its importance is growing more and more together with the development of artificial intelligence. Therefore the importance of smart sensors cannot be overemphasized. However, most studies related to smart sensors have been focusing on specific application purposes, for example, security, energy saving, monitoring, and there are not much effort on researches on how to efficiently configure various types of smart sensors to be needed in the future. In this paper, a component-based framework with hierarchical structure for efficient construction of smart sensor is proposed and its application to smart home is designed and implemented. The proposed method shows that various types of smart sensors to be appeared in the near future can be configured through the design and development of necessary components within the proposed software framework. In addition, since it has a layered architecture, the configuration of the smart sensor can be expanded by inserting the internal or external layers. In particular, it is possible to independently design the internal and external modules when designing an IoT application service through connection with the external device layer. A small-scale smart home system is designed and implemented using the proposed method, and a home cloud operating as an external layer, is further designed to accommodate and manage multiple smart homes. By developing and thus adding the components of each layer, it will be possible to efficiently extend the range of applications such as smart cars, smart buildings, smart factories an so on.
