A cooperative driving automation system is imperative to overcome the limitation of the stand-alone automated driving technology. By definition, a cooperative driving automation system refers to a technology in which an automated vehicle cooperates with other vehicles or infrastructure to increase driving efficiency and safety. Specifically, in this study, the technical elements necessary for the cooperative driving automation technology and the technological research trends were investigated. Subsequently, implications for future cooperative driving automation technology development were drawn through the research trends. Finally, the importance of cooperative driving automation technology and infra-guidance service for automated vehicles were discussed.

eCall system assists traffic accident victims by connecting emergency rescue institutions with accurate accident information, helping them to identify the on-site situation in the event of a traffic accident. The purpose of this paper is to develop a Korean eCall system that reflects the requirements of domestic emergency rescue institutions and to analyze the expected effects through an integrated demonstration. The results of an integrated demonstration indicated that the communication success rate between the eCall IVS and the call center was 99.25%, and the average location information error was 1.2 m. In particular, it has been confirmed that the average location information error is less than 21.6 meters, as assessed by the Korea Communications Commission when evaluating the accuracy of domestic emergency rescue location information. When the eCall system was introduced, it was confirmed that the time from traffic accidents to hospital arrival could be shortened by 3 m 38 s for highways and 1 m 22 s for general roads. By it to traffic deaths from 2005 to 2022, it was analyzed that the number of fatalities decreased by 82,662, resulting in a reduction of approximately social costs.

In the event of fire, it is necessary to put out the fire within a golden time to minimize personal and property damages. To this end, it is necessary for fire engines to arrive at the site quickly. This study established a fire engine travel time estimation model to secure the golden time by identifying road and environmental factors that influence fire engine travel time in the case of fire by examining data on fire occurrence with GIS DB. The study model for the estimation of fire engine travel time (model 1) covers variables by applying correlation analysis and regression analysis with dummy variables and predicts travel time for different types of places where fire may occur (models 2, 3, 4). Analysis results showed that 17 siginificant independent variables are derived in model 1 and the fire engine travel time differs depending on the types of places where fire occurs. Key variables(travel distance, number of lane, type of road) that are included commonly in the 4 models were identified. Variables identified in this study can be utilized as indicators for research related to travel time of emergency vehicles and contribute to securing the golden time for emergency vehicles.

Various shadows are one of main factors that cause errors in vision based vehicle detection. In this paper, two simple methods, land mark based method and BS & Edge method, are proposed for vehicle detection and shadow rejection. In the experiments, the accuracy of vehicle detection is higher than 96%, during which the shadows arisen from roadside buildings grew considerably. Based on these two methods, vehicle counting, tracking, classification, and speed estimation are achieved so that real-time traffic parameters concerning traffic flow can be extracted to describe the load of each lane.

첨단 기술의 발전과 함께 지능형 운전자 보조 시스템의 성능 및 교통 시스템 체계가 고도화됨에 따라 전반적인 교통사고 발생 건수는 줄어드는 추세지만 대한민국의 교통사고 발생 빈도는 아직 OECD 평균 대비 높은 실정이다. 특히, 2020년 경제 협력 개발 기구(OECD) 통계에 따르면 대한민국의 인구 10만 명당 교통사고 사망자 수는 회원국 36개 중 29위로 매우 높은 축에 속한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 교통사고 발생률을 낮추는 데 도움을 줄 수 있는 주행 이상 패턴 감지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 실시간 영상 분석을 통해 신호등 및 차선을 인식함과 동시 차량 내부 진단 데이터에 대한 시계열 분석을 기반으로 운전자의 운전 패턴을 분석한 후 평소와 다른 이상 징후를 발견하면 운전자에게 경고 알림을 제공하여 위험한 상황을 회피할 수 있도록 지원한다.

Online traffic flow modeling is attracting more attention due to intelligent transport systems and technologies. The flow-density relation plays an important role in traffic flow modeling and provides a basic way to illustrate traffic flow behavior under different traffic flow and traffic density conditions. Until now the research effort has focused mainly on the shape of the relation. The time series of the relation has not been identified clearly, even though the time series of the relation reflects the upstream/downstream traffic conditions and should be considered in the traffic flow modeling. In this paper the flow-density relation is analyzed dynamically and interpreted as a states diagram. The dynamic flow-density relation is quantified by applying fuzzy logic. The quantified dynamic flow-density relation builds the basis for online application of a macroscopic traffic flow model. The new approach to online modeling of traffic flow applying the dynamic flow-density relation alleviates parameter calibration problems stemming from the static flow-density relation.

지능형교통체계(ITS)환경 하에서 요구되는 정보서비스의 기본적인 형태는 통행속도, 지체정도, 통행시간등으로 대별 되어질 수 있다. 그 중 통행시간의 기본적 요소로서 링크통행시간을 산출하기 위한 제반 기법을 소개하였고, 특히 GPS를 이용한 링크통행시간 산정기법을 본 고에서는 제시하였다. 현재 GPS를 장착한 차량이 고유의 목적 (예를 들면, 위치파악 및 배차등의 목적으로)을 위해서 점차 늘어나고 있는 추세인 만큼 (개인택시조합등) 이러한 자원을 부수적으로 이용할 수 없는지에 대한 활용방안의 여부가 논문을 작성하는 계기가 되었다. 이를 위해서 본 고에서는 구체적으로 GPS 원시테이터, 수치도로지도 (GIS포함) 및 무선데이터망을 이용하여 링크 통행시간을 산출하는 기법이 이를 위해서 본 고에서는 구체적으로 제시되었으며, 이들을 통한 교통정보의 수집 가능성을 제안하였다. 중간 결과로서 실제 가로주행조사를 통해서 얻어진 링크통행시간과 본 연구에서 게시된 GPS를 통해 얻어진 링크통행시간과 비교해 보면 오창의 범위가 10%내외로서 판명되어 그나마 동적교통정보 수집조건이 열악한 우리실정에 큰 자원이 될 수 있다는 확신을 얻을 수 ? 있었다. 한편, 본 연구에서 수행되지 못하였으나 추가연구로서 반드시 수행되었으면 하는 몇가지의 항목이 결론부에 함께 제시되었다.

Real-time traffic data are readily obtainable by traffic surveillance systems of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Such data greatly support further applications in the field of traffic operations, planning, and safety. However, traffic data should be appropriately processed to fully exploit the benefits of data collection capability. Rather than developing individual data processing techniques, which is major concern of existing studies, this study proposes a novel methodology for evaluating data processing techniques in an integrated manner. Also, a tool for implementing the proposed methodology is developed. Users can extract useful and more reliable traffic data based upon their ultimate purpose of data usage by the evaluation tool developed in this study. Actual freeway traffic data are, as an example, fed into the evaluation tool, and results are discussed.

An ideal traffic control system should consider simultaneously both route guidance of vehicles and signal policies at intersection of a traffic network. It is known that an iterative procedure gives an optimal route to each vehicle in the network. This paper presents an iterative procedure to find an optimal signal plan for the network. We define the optimal solution as a signal equilibrium. From the definition of signal equilibrium, we prove that the fixed point solution of the iterative procedure is a signal equilibrium, when optimal signal algorithms are implemented at each intersection of the network. A combined model of route guidance and signal planning is also suggested by relating the route guidance procedure and the signal planning procedure into a single loop iterative procedure.
