본 논문에서는 각종 센서를 탑재한 차량을 센서 네트워크의 노드로써 움직이는 하드웨어를 구현하였다. 센서 네트워크에서 이동할 수 있는 노드들은 주위의 환경을 인지하여 대처하며 그에 대한 정보를 컴퓨터에 전달하여 차량이 있는 곳의 지도를 만들어 낸다. 이러한 센서 차량의 하드웨어를 만들기 위해 정면에 존재하는 장애물을 인지하는 라인레이저와 그것을 인지할 수 있는 카메라, 초음파 센서를 설치하였다. 절대적인 지표 없이 정확한 좌표를 알아내기 힘들고 차량 이동 시 미끄러짐 등과 같은 오차가 생길 수 있으므로 정확한 방위각을 알아낼 수 있는 디지털 나침반을 차량 설계에 포함 시켰다.

이동중인 차량간에 무선통신을 이용하여 차량의 안전과 관련된 정보를 주고받는 서비스를 교통안전 통신이라 한다. 이 서비스는 운전자의 인지 범위를 벗어나는 상황 혹은 자동화 안전장치가 감지하지 못하는 상황을 운전자가 미리 인지하고 식별할 수 있게 해주는 유용한 수단의 제공을 목표로 하고 있다. 차량간 위험과 직접 관련된 정보들을 신뢰성이 있는 상태에서 시기 적절하게 전달해주어야 하기 때문에 데이터 통신과는 다른 통신 방법론이 필요하다. 본 고에서는 미래의 지능화된 교통환경 구성을 위해서 선진국을 중심으로 새로운 정보통신 응용 영역으로 인식되고 있는 교통안전 통신의 현황과 기술을 살펴보고, 실용화를 위해서 극복해야 될 사항들을 제시한다.

There exists a limitation to provide proper advance information for safe maneuvering through guidance and caution signs in freeway mobile work zones, unlike fixed work zones. Although a work-protection vehicle is currently deployed at the rear of the work vehicle, more active countermeasures to prevent crashes are required. The purpose of this study was to propose a method to evaluate the safety in mobile work zones and to present effective countermeasures. Driving simulation experiments were conducted to analyze characteristics of driver's behavior in mobile and fixed work zones. Safety distance index (SDI) based on the comparison of stopping distances of a work-protection vehicle and a following subject vehicle was used to evaluate traffic safety. More dangerous driving behavior was observed in the mobile work zone. Especially, it was identified that the lane-change of vehicles following the work- protection vehicle was late. Therefore, it is necessary to actively introduce methods to provide warning information so that the driver can recognize the work-protection vehicle in advance and carry out appropriate evasive maneuvers.

In domestic tunnels, it is mandatory to install CCTVs in tunnels longer than 200 m which are also recommended by installation of a CCTV-based automatic accident detection system. In general, the CCTVs in the tunnel are installed at a low height as well as near by the moving vehicles due to the spatial limitation of tunnel structure, so a severe perspective effect takes place in the distance of installed CCTV and moving vehicles. Because of this effect, conventional CCTV-based accident detection systems in tunnel are known in general to be very hard to achieve the performance in detection of unexpected accidents such as stop or reversely moving vehicles, person on the road and fires, especially far from 100 m. Therefore, in this study, the region of interest is set up and a new concept of inverse perspective transformation technique is introduced. Since moving vehicles in the transformed image is enlarged proportionally to the distance from CCTV, it is possible to achieve consistency in object detection and identification of actual speed of moving vehicles in distance. To show this aspect, two datasets in the same conditions are composed with the original and the transformed images of CCTV in tunnel, respectively. A comparison of variation of appearance speed and size of moving vehicles in distance are made. Then, the performances of the object detection in distance are compared with respect to the both trained deep-learning models. As a result, the model case with the transformed images are able to achieve consistent performance in object and accident detections in distance even by 200 m.

In case of an emergency on a busy road of a city, drivers should make way for special vehicles such as police cars, fire engines, or ambulance as soon as possible. If road infrastructures recognize the movements of special vehicles, and transfer alert message to traffic signal controllers and normal cars through wireless network such as WAVE or TPEG, normal cars can prepare to make way in advance. As a result, it help special vehicles move faster. In this paper, we install a roof mark on the roof of a special vehicle, detect the mark through a mark recognition algorithm which includes perspective transformation, and get the inner information by decoding the digital pattern on it. The experiment results show that mark can be recognized 100% and 93.3% of inner digital data of the mark can be recognized, when the size of a mark is larger than $88cm{\times}88cm$ and the mark moves at a speed of 50km/s.

고령인구의 증대 및 출생 인구의 감소로 과소지와 대중교통 취약지역이 확산되고 있다. 이러한 인구구조의 변화는 교통약자의 독립적 이동이 더욱 불편해지고, 물류의 수송이 어려워 진다. 한편, 도심은 차량의 포화상태로 대기환경의 질이 나빠지고 도심도로는 주차장으로 변질될 뿐만 아니라, 운전자와 보행자 모두에게 안전의 위협이 되고 있다. 이러한 환경과 이동의 효율성을 극대화 하는 방안으로 친환경자동차와 자율주행기술의 접목이 연구개발 중이다. 자율주행기술은 자율주행차와 도로 인프라에 ICT가 융 복합되어 이동과 수송분야의 새로운 산업과 서비스 창출이 가능하다. 본 고에서는 교통약자의 이동과 물류의 수송을 지원하는 자율주행기술의 개발 동향을 살펴본다. 특히 광화문, K-City 등의 도심 자율주행서비스 테스트 경험을 통해 해결해야 하는 복잡한 도심 주행 환경의 인지와 교차로 및 합류로, 비정형 도로환경에서의 주행협상기술의 필요성을 소개한다. 도심의 주행 환경은 고속도로와 같은 자동차 전용도로와 달리, 신호등과 교차로, 2륜 이동체 및 버스 등이 다양하게 혼재된 것으로 인지 및 판단 기능의 고도화가 적극적으로 요구된다. 그리고, 다양한 자율주행서비스 시장을 확산하기 위해 요구되는 이동하는 공간과 시간을 메꿔 줄 미디어 콘텐츠의 역할에 대해 설명하고자 한다.

This study proposes the traffic prediction and optimal traffic control system based on cell transmission model and genetic algorithm in cloud environment. The proposed prediction and control system consists of four parts. 1) Data preprocessing module detects and imputes the corrupted data and missing data points. 2) Data-driven traffic prediction module predicts the future traffic state using Multi-level K-Nearest Neighbor (MK-NN) Algorithm with stored historical data in SQL database. 3) Online traffic simulation module simulates the future traffic state in various situations including accident, road work, and extreme weather condition with predicted traffic data by MK-NN. 4) Optimal road control module produces the control strategy for large road network with cell transmission model and genetic algorithm. The results show that proposed system can effectively reduce the Vehicle Hours Traveled upto 60%.

An on-board truck scale is an essential technical solution for preventing overload, which makes the driver aware of the commercial vehicle weight. This study analyzed the effects of the driving pattern and transportation efficiency by the IoT Platform service for an on-board truck scale. A comparison of before and after installation using the long-term monitored data confirmed the reduction effects both of the overload ratio and overweight value, and their effects on increasing the transportation efficiency. In addition, the analysis result of the driving route showed that the installation of an on-board truck scale could be a more effective way of preventing overload than increasing the weighing checkpoints.

This paper presents a quantitative evaluation method and result of moving vehicle perception using automotive radar. It is also important to analyze the accuracy of the perception algorithm quantitatively as well as to accurately percept nearby moving vehicles for safe and efficient autonomous driving. In this study, accuracy of the automotive radar-based perception algorithm which is developed based on interacting multiple model (IMM) has been verified via vehicle tests on real roads. In order to obtain experimental data for quantitative evaluation, Long Range Radar (LRR) has been mounted on the front of the ego vehicle and Short Range Radar (SRR) has been mounted on the rear side of both sides. RT-range has been installed on the ego vehicle and the target vehicle to simultaneously collect reference data on the states of the two vehicles. The experimental data is acquired in various relative positions and velocity, and the accuracy of the algorithm has been analyzed according to relative position and velocity. Quantitative analysis is conducted on relative position, relative heading angle, absolute velocity, and yaw rate of each vehicle.
