Accidents at level crossing have large portion on train accidents, and causes economical loss by train delay and operational interruption. Various safety equipments are employed to reduce the accident at level crossing, but existing warning device, and crossing barrier are simple train-oriented protection equipments. In this paper, intelligent railway level crossing system is proposed to prevent and reduce accidents. For train driver's prompt action, image of level crossing and obstacle warning message are continuously provided to train driver through wireless communication in level crossing control zone. Obstacle warning messages, which are extracted by computer vision processing of captured image at level crossing, are recognized by train driver through message color, flickering and warning sound. It helps train driver to decide how to take an action. Meanwhile, for vehicle driver's attention, location and speed of approaching train are given to roadside equipments. We identified the effect of proposed system through test installation at Sea train and Airport level crossing of Yeong-dong line.

This paper proposes a message transfer application using smartphone with NFC(Near Field Communication) and GCM(Goolge Cloud Messaging) technology for prevention of personal information leakage. In implementing for the proposed system, we design a NFC-based vehicle status alerts service which make it possible to communicate with smartpone message without phone-number between a car driver and an unspecified person. The application provides message communication mechanism without exposing the real phone number, using the NFC tag written with the driver's smartphone device ID and GCM push messages. Through the evaluation result of the actual implemented application, the proposed system can be efficient technology in protection for leakage of personal information such as personal phone- number in daily life.

This paper describes effectiveness of accident reduction on vehicles equipped with AEB using accident data occurring in Korea. During the statistical period, we used the number of vehicles which are covered by auto insurance and the number of accidents. To maximize the reduction effect of accidents caused by the driver's carelessness, the analysis was limited to Physical Damage Coverage that covers the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged vehicle caused by the driver's fault. Due to Personal Information Protection Law, it was not capable of comparing the same vehicle using Vehicle Identification Number in this study. Instead of that, we used it as a similar vehicle, so there are limits to the comparison and analysis results. As a result of this study, we have found that the effect of reducing accidents was different depending on the vehicle class, but it was generally concluded that the number of accidents decreased when the vehicle was equipped with an AEB system. Domestic research on the AEB effect of reducing accidents is not active yet. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to analyze the effects according to various conditions such as driver's age, occupation and gender as well as expanding the study models in the future.

초등학교 주변에는 교통약자인 어린이 교통사고를 예방하기 위하여 어린이 보호구역내 스쿨존(school zone)을 지정하여 이 구역내에서는 차량 운행속도를 30km/h 미만으로 운행함에 따라 주·정차가 금지되어 있다. 하지만 우리나라는 OECD 국가 중 어린이 교통사고 사망률이 1위라는 불명예를 안고 있다. 이와 같은 배경하에 본 연구는 어린이 보호구역에서의 다양한 도로여건에 따라 불법 주·정차 차량으로 인한 운전자 시야확보 및 주행차량에 대한 인지의 어려움 등이 상존하고 있어, 이에 어린이 보호구역 내에 불법 주·정차방지 시스템을 구축함으로써 교통약자인 어린이들에 대해 교통사고방지와 운전자 안전운전에 대한 경각심 증진에 기여하기 위함에 연구의 목적을 두었다. 연구 방법으로는 주요선행연구와 문헌조사 및 분석을 바탕으로 주·정차방지시스템에 대한 구축방안을 제시하였다. 구축방안을 통해 교통사고 방지, 스마트한 운전자의 안전운행 유도, 보행자 안전의식 강화, 운전자의 안전의식 경각심 유도 등 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

Damage to agricultural production caused by insects and diseases affects farming yields. The orchard sprayer is mainly used in the country to protect the fruit in a large area, with less effort and at minimum cost. The excellent performance of the air blast spray increases the fruit protection. Chemical application in orchards has been accomplished by the orchard sprayers with air assist nozzles and a axial fan in Korea. However, the orchard sprayers without ROPS resulted in severe injury or death when operators drive the sprayers improperly on hilly orchard or farming road. This study was to develop a ROPS for the orchard sprayers improving farmer's safety. In this study, the accident case was used in analysing the design and building TOP structure of the orchard sprayer. The maximum impact, body torsion frame structures including the driver's protection are also analysed for adherence to safety regulations. The ROPS safety regulations according to the strength test results were established.

The accidents in a railway level crossing where passengers or vehicles pass on the track went through by the train with a inherent high rate on incidents lead to a vast economic damage on people and material resources. So, many protection equipments are placed on the railway crossing to prevent those kind of accidents. But there is a limit to control driver's rough activity, passenger's careless or an intentional accident. This study is trying to ensure the safety in railway crossing by providing the information on train's speed and expected passing time on the railroad to a road traffic control system or car driver. Additionally, this system has been studying the railway level crossing system concerning ITS to support harmonious traffic flow.

공사구간으로 진입하는 운전자에게 안전한 회피행동을 유도하는 공사장 안내 및 경고정보가 제공되고 있다. 그러나 이동공사구간의 경우 작업차량 후방에 작업보호차량을 배치하여 운영하고 있지만 안전한 회피행동을 유도하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이동공사구간에서 운전자의 주행행태분석을 통하여 안전성을 평가하고 능동적인 사고예방대책 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 주행 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 이동공사와 고정공사 구간에 대한 주행실험 시나리오를 제작하고 운전자의 주행궤적자료 수집하였다. 차로변경 시 종점, 차로변경 수행거리를 도출하여 주행특성분석 자료로 활용하였다. 또한 피실험자가 전방의 이동작업차량을 회피할 때의 주행궤적자료를 수집하여 주행안전성 평가지표인 Safety Distance Index를 산출하였다. 그 결과, 이동공사가 고정공사보다 위험한 주행행태를 나타냈다. 특히 주행차량은 저속으로 이동하는 작업차량을 사전에 인지하지 못하여 차로변경 시점이 늦게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 이동공사 시 운전자가 작업보호차량을 사전에 신속히 인지하고 적절한 회피행동을 수행할 수 있도록 경고정보를 제공하는 교통안전 향상 방안의 적극적인 도입이 필요하다.

Since there is a blind zone in driver's view around the excavator, industrial accidents between the equipment and the workers within the zone have been occurred frequently. The purpose of this paper is to develop a obstacle recognition system which can prevent such an accident by providing the driver with the information on direction and distance of the obstacle within the blind zone. We designed the ultrasonic sensor based obstacle recognition system which consists of sensor arrays and a control unit connected via CAN(controller area network). The Cross-correlation technique and histogramic probability distribution method are used as a reliable obstacle detection algorithms to remove the environmental noise. The experimental results using a real excavator show the effectiveness of the system.

To overcome the problem of the diode reverse recovery in high switching frequency inverter, a new gate drive scheme is proposed for IGBT in this paper. Using this circuit, the reverse recovery current can be controlled and faster switching time can be achieved for hard switching inverter. The over-current protection method, which is suitable for the proposed gate driver, is also presented. The operation of the proposed circuit is investigated and its usefulness is verified through the experimental results.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to protect the drowsiness of a driver. We measured the physiological signals, response time, and ace expression of the subjects in normal and drowsy state. Those data are used to establish the drowsiness index and fuzzy system. We employed the computer vision technology to extract and eye, track eyelids and measure the parameters related to drowsiness. These parameters were ed into the fuzzy system to decide the drowsiness level, When the drowsiness was detected, the fuzzy system generated warning signals which cons ist of sound and fragrance. Our system was available in decision of the drowsiness level and improvement of subjects' state.
