Today, Intelligent Vehicle Detection System seeks to reduce the negative factors, such as accidents over to get the traffic information of existing system. This paper proposes detection algorithm for the illegal U-turn vehicles which can cause critical accident among violations of road traffic laws. We predicted that if calculated optical flow vectors were shown on the illegal U-turn path, they would be cause of the illegal U-turn vehicles. To reduce the high computational complexity, we use the algorithm of pyramid Lucas-Kanade. This algorithm only track the key-points likely corners. Because of the high computational complexity, we detect center lane first through the color information and progressive probabilistic hough transform and apply to the around of center lane. And then we select vectors on illegal U-turn path and calculate reliability to check whether vectors is cause of the illegal U-turn vehicles or not. Finally, In order to evaluate the algorithm, we calculate process time of the type of algorithm and prove that proposed algorithm is efficiently.

Recent wireless communication technologies are envisioned as an innovative alternative to solve transportation problems. On ad hoc networks, as a wireless communication technology, nodes can communicate data without any infrastructure. In particular, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), a specific ad hoc network applied to vehicles, enable vehicles equipped with a communication device to form decentralized traffic information systems in which vehicles share traffic information they experienced. This study investigated traffic information dissemination in a VANET-based traffic information system. For this study, an integrated transportation and communications simulation framework was developed, and experiments were conducted with real highway networks and traffic demands. The results showed that it took 3 minutes in the low traffic density situations (10 vehicle/lane.km) and 43 seconds in the high traffic density condition (40 vehicle/lane.km) to deliver traffic information of 5km away with 10% market penetration rate. In uncongested traffic conditions, information seems to be disseminated via equipped vehicles in the opposite direction. In congested traffic conditions, the sufficient availability of equipped vehicles traveling in the same direction reduces the chance to use vehicles in the opposing direction even though it is still possible.

WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) is new concepts and Vehicles communications technology using for ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems) service by IEEE standard 802.11p. Also it increases the efficiency and safety of the traffic on the road. However, the efficiency of Scrambler bit computational algorithms of OFDM modulation in WAVE systems will fall as it is not able to process in parallel in terms of hardware and software. This paper proposes an algorithm to configure 64-bits matrix table in scambler bit computation as well as an algorithm to compute 64-bits matrix table and input data in parallel. The proposed algorithm on this thesis is executed using 64-bits matrix table. In the result, the processing speed for 1 and 1000 times is improved about 40.08% ~ 40.27% and processing rate per sec is performed more than 468.35 compared to bit operation scramble. And processing speed for 1 and 1000 times is improved about 7.53% ~ 7.84% and processing rate per sec is performed more than 91.44 compared to 32-bits operation scramble. Therefore, if the 64 bit-CPU is used for 64-bits executable scramble algorithm, it is improved more than 40% compare to 32-bits scrambler.

In this paper, we propose a preference-based shortest path algorithm which is combined with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and A* heuristic algorithm. In recent years, with the development of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems), there has been a resurgence of interest in a shortest path search algorithm for use in car navigation systems. Most of the shortest path search algorithms such as Dijkstra and A* aim at finding the distance or time shortest paths. However, the shortest path is not always an optimum path for the drivers who prefer choosing a less short, but more reliable or flexible path. For this reason, we propose a preference-based shortest path search algorithm which uses the properties of the links of the map. The preferences of the links are specified by the user of the car navigation system. The proposed algorithm was implemented in C and experiments were performed upon the map that includes 64 nodes with 118 links. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is suitable to find preference-based shortest paths as well as distance shortest paths.

These days, human behavior (human factor), the main cause of traffic accidents, has drawn more attention. Research on driving behavior based on DBQ(Driver Behavior Questionnaire), the analysis tool of driving behavior, has been conducted actively. In domestic previous studies, their analysis subjects were limited to researchers or military officials, and their analysis methods were based on factor analysis and regression analysis. Therefore, this study tries to find the factors of general drivers' driving behavior that influence risk driving, and to analyze their influential relationship. Regarding study scope, general drivers with driving career were asked to answer DBQ questionnaire, and 300 effective samples were analyzed. In addition, previous studies were investigated to draw the three measurable attributes of DBQ-'Lapse, Mistake, and Violation'-as main factors of traffic accidents, and structural equation model was applied to design risk driving behavior model. To identify the difference between risk driving groups, this study made use of multiple group analysis. The analysis came to the following results: First, according to the examination of the hypothesis that 'Lapse, Mistake, and Violation factors will influence risk driving behavior', all factors were found to be statistically significant. Regarding their level of influence on risk driving behavior, Violation was 0.464, Lapse 0.383, and Mistake 0.158, and thus Violation was analyzed to be the most influential. Secondly, according to the examination of the hypothesis that 'the influence of Lapse, Mistake, and Violation factors on risk driving behavior will be different by risk group', the influence of Lapse on risk driving behavior was found to be different by risk group. It is expected that the study results will be used as a fundamental program to introduce traffic accident prevention program and education that takes violation and lapse into consideration.

This study compared the delays of scramble crosswalks and general crosswalks, considering the pedestrian and vehicle traffic at intersections. Based on the signal theory, this study used traffic delays as a measure of feasibility of installing scramble crosswalks. The road structure and length of signal lights were assumed to be specific numbers to calculate the delays in vehicles and pedestrians. With the computed delays, this study compared general crosswalks and scramble crosswalks, and evaluated the feasibility sections on the installation of scramble crosswalks using circular and non-circular signal phases, respectively. The analysis confirmed that the introduction of scramble crosswalks might be more appropriate when the traffic ratio on the main roads is high. In addition, the application of non-circular signal phases is more proper for the operation of scramble crosswalks than circular signal phases. In the non-circular signaling system, however, it was shown that diagonal crosswalks might not be practical if the demand for diagonal crossing is too low. These results are expected to contribute to the development of basic guidelines for assessing the installment feasibility of scramble crosswalks in terms of traffic operation and efficiency.

This study developed a legibility distance(LD) model for three colors used in VMS according to luminance under foggy conditions through experiments. For this, a simulated environment was created, and LD values of red, green, and yellow color were collected by increasing the luminance. From the test results, the LDs for red at luminance levels of 2,000 cd/㎡ and 20,000 cd/㎡ and a visibility distance of 10m were 10.2m and 18.8m, respectively, which was an improvement of 84%. The LD was improved by 34% and 17% at a visibility distance of 20 m and 30 m, respectively. For green, the LD was improved by 69%, 63%, and 19% at visibility distance of 10m, 20m, 30m, respectively. For yellow, the LD was improved by 100%, 47%, and 36% at visibility distance of 10m, 20m, 30m, respectively. The LD models for three colors were developed by using two independent variables, luminance value and visibility distance. The adjusted coefficients of the red, green, and yellow model equations were calculated as 0.982, 0.978, and 0.915, respectively, and the explanatory power of all models was very high.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) was first introduced in Korea early 1990's, and Korean government has put a lot of efforts for flourishing it in the entire nation. Regardless of these efforts, private participation is not active enough to accelerate ITS implementation in Korea. Expert group made every endeavor to analyze the current situation, and found out some phenomena. It may be summarized as two folds. Firstly, private sector has a lack of confidence on the future ITS market. Budget in the strategic plan is the only publication and guide that private sector can refer to, and it merely indicates deployment costs. Secondly, direction and procedure of R&D are not well defined. It implies that private sector takes too much risk when they invest for R&D. This research, therefore, focuses on the first issues. Concretely, the goal of the project was to establish and analyze the model for estimation the future ITS market side. Author reviewed both quantitative and qualitative models, and concluded that diffusion model in qualitative model was suitable for ITS market estimation. According to model calibration. it is estimated that 14 trillion Won was the market size in 2020 under normal condition. Impact of this result may seduce Information Technology(IT) related private companies into ITS market. Although this research couldn't cover various topics, it nay dedicate in boosting ITS in Korea. Also, it will be a good starting point for further study for the advancement of ITS.

Vehicle to Infrastructure(V2I) communication means the technology between the vehicle and the roadside unit to provide the Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS) and Telematic services. The vehicle collects information about the probe data through the evolved Node B(eNodeB) and after that eNodeB provides road conditions or traffic information to the vehicle. To provide these V2I communication services, we need a link adaptation technology that enables reliable and higher transmission rate. The receiver transmits the estimated Channel State Information(CSI) to transmitter, which uses this information to enable the link adaptation. However, due to the rapid channel variation caused by vehicle speed and the processing delay between the layers, the estimated CSI quickly becomes outdated. For this reason, channel interpolation and prediction scheme are needed to achieve link adaptation in V2I communication system. We propose the Advanced Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequence(ADPSS) channel interpolation and prediction scheme. The proposed scheme creates an orthonomal basis, and uses a correlation matrix to interpolate and predict channel. Also, smoothing is applied to frequency domain for noise removal. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional schemes with the high speed and low speed vehicle in the freeway and urban environment.
