This study investigates the methodology to evaluate the quantified performance of pavement markings and traffic guide signs using digital images. This methodology is significant to attempt to quantify their performance without large brightness photometer at the nighttime and bad weather. The retroreflective performance of pavement markings are evaluated through the contrast of gray levels of pavements and markings in collected digital images under the case of rain, dampness, and dryness. In addition, the appraisal of retroreflective performance of traffic guide signs are implemented through the comparison between interior illuminated and the existing retroreflective traffic guide signs using the contrast of luminance extracted from the value of RGB of backgrounds and legends in collected digital images according to geometric design, driving lanes, and the distance between the car and the sign. As a result, the retroreflective performance of pavement markings deteriorates about 3.5 times and 2 times under the case of rain and dampness respectively than dryness. Also, the performance of the existing traffic guide signs is significantly influenced by geometric design, driving lanes, and the distance, otherwise interior illuminated traffic guide signs. This methodology can be utilized to construct objective information of performance of traffic safety facilities to select appropriate position of expensive high reflective pavement markings and interior illuminated traffic guide signs considering diverse weather and geometric design.

Although traffic information has been actively analyzed using big data, it has not been used as much with the consideration of driver characteristics. Among the various types of information, road signs can directly affect the driver. Road signs must provide the optimal information that enables drivers to reach their destinations with ease as well as information suitable for navigation systems. However, present road sign rules provide standardized information, regardless of the road type or size. This study suggests a method for providing road information that will help drivers determine their behavior. First, the minimum character size that can be used on a road sign for each design speed was obtained with respect to the visibility and decipherability of a road sign. Instead of conventional diagram-based direction guidance, a scenario using split-based direction guidance was created. To verify the effectiveness of the provided information, a three-dimensional simulated road environment was constructed, and a driving simulator was used for the test. At a simple plane intersection, the driver was not greatly influenced by directional guidance, but at a complex, three-dimensional intersection, the driver preferred summary-based directional guidance, which is instinctive guidance, over diagram-based guidance. On the basis of the test results, a secondary verification test that applied split-based guidance at a three-dimensional intersection confirmed that the driver had no problems in making decisions.

An app based on the augmented reality and QR codes is developed in this paper. This app is for guidance to the harbor and management the facilities in ships. Using the smart device app people could receive guidance the course to visit Mokpo harbor and information for the port and ship's facilities. Through the utilization of smart devices, the app is easy to find the desired destination to and provide the convenience of tourists. In addition, by using the QR code people could see an explanation of the ship's facilities and write the inspection reports for the facilities.

The goal of our research is to develop more effective bus information system using user generated information and social tagging. In this research, we have developed a smartphone-based bus guide system using social tagging and awareness of location. It will guide users to the nearby bus stops and provides users with information about the bus lines at the bus stops. Information around bus-stops can also be registered as tags into the system by users and can be utilized for bus information service. Simple keyword search utilizing tagging information can provide users with bus information about destinations.

사회구조가 고도화됨에 따라서 사용자들은 크고 복잡한 환경에 노출되고 있다. 이러한 환경은 사용자들이 자신의 위치가 어디인지를 인식하게 어렵게 하고 있다. 그에 따라서 사용자에게 지도나 키오스크 시스템[1]과 같은 위치 안내 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 이런 서비스는 2D 기반의 안내를 하기 때문에 사용자가 직관적, 공간적으로 자신의 위치를 파악하기란 어렵다. 직접 시스템에 찾아가야 서비스를 사용할 수 있으며, 서비스의 제공이 지속적이지 않고, 순간적이라는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 이동하면서 자신이 찾고자 하는 위치에 대한 안내를 3D 가상현실 기반의 위치 안내를 받을 수 있는 모바일 PC를 위한 위치 기반 서비스(Location Based Service)를 제공한다. 제안하는 시스템은 사용자의 현재의 위치를 인식하기 위해서 모바일 PC에 GPS와 RFID태그를 이용한다. 이를 실내외 공간에서의 위치를 인식을 하게 되며, 사용자의 현재 위치에서 자신이 가고자 하는 목표장소에 대한 최단 경로를 알려 준다. 뿐만 아니라 여러 장소를 방문하는 경우, 미리 만든 스케쥴에 따라서 위치 안내 서비스를 받을 수 있다. 제안하는 시스템은 사용자가 전시장, 병원, 관공서 등의 건물에서 원하는 위치를 자신이 있는 위치에서 편하고 간편하게 찾아 줄 수 있으며, 부가적으로 다양한 위치 기반 서비스들이 적용 가능하다.

In this paper, we have developed the application of a remote multi-lingual video guide that allows interaction with Set Top Box of a thin client by using the WebRTC, an web browser-based communication method. A server accesses a web camera in conjunction with digital information display of a thin client connected remotely and is exchanged guide information with user. This server can be played in thin client STB using virtualization based the high-quality video compression technology. Further, it is not dependent on the performance of the STB and provides a video guide remotely.

The purpose of this study is to provide library users with the effective way of use on academic library and its collection. In order to achieve this purpose the menu structure and question contents appearing at the FAQs of academic library Website were analyzed. And also, guidelines for effective use of a university library via FAQ at different access stages were proposed. It is expected that the result of this study can help both a Web designer to the development and implementation of efficient library FAQs and a creator of a library use guidebook.
