  • Railway transportation is the main land-based transportation in most countries. Accordingly, railway-transportation safety has always been a key issue for many researchers. Railway pedestrian accidents are the main reasons of railway-transportation casualties. In this study, we conduct experiments to determine which of the latest convolutional neural network models and algorithms are appropriate to build pedestrian railroad accident prevention systems. When a drone cruises over a pre-specified path and altitude, the real-time status around the rail is recorded, following which the image information is transmitted back to the server in time. Subsequently, the images are analyzed to determine whether pedestrians are present around the railroads, and a speed-deceleration order is immediately sent to the train driver, resulting in a reduction of the instances of pedestrian railroad accidents. This is the first part of an envisioned drone-based intelligent security system. This system can effectively address the problem of insufficient manual police force.

  • This paper deals with the development and feasible study of the train to pedestrian protection airbag. The concept of the airbag system is to protect the pedestrian like as workers on railroad. The airbag system includes cushions, gas generators, a housing, sliding fixture, anti-bouncing airbag, and a leg protection bumper. Those things were designed and fabricated. The performance of the airbag system was evaluated in the sense of the static deployment test, drop test, dynamic motion test and field(train level) test. The deployment logic, TTF(Time to fire), and the inner pressure of the cushion were also investigated for the airbag.

  • As the silver population rapidly increased, it became more urgent to establish a scheme of the traffic safety for the old. As part of the scheme, a polity to apply 'designation of the silver zone' was legislated into law. However, the standard quoting 'the silver zone should be within 300m - radius of the relevant facility' was considered homogeneous and even limited to apply its original objective. This study was to introduce a new standard to select the silver zone reflecting the actual scale. Consequently, I hope that this study would be useful reference for further development and the approach in the research could be legislated into law for more efficient designation and operation of the silver zone.

  • In terms of accessibility and time the tram rail and bus transportation system is equipped with all the benefits of. In addition, construction and operating costs than light rail trams reduce AGT, and by car from the city center by inhibiting the transport demand management, pedestrian-oriented transportation system, including city jaebuheung can expect several effects, depending on the expected introduction of trams are. Accordingly, increasing interest in streetcars and trams, and the forum is running and the green at the National Assembly, Korea Railroad Research Institute samurai tram lines in the Korean research team developed the tram is thriving. In this study, in Korea as a way to introduce a tram tram to enhance the safety and reliability challenges for the advancement and promotion of foreign tram with the safety regulations and accident cases learn safety measures to strengthen the domestic transportation. The expected introduction of the tram fits the matter at issue and the perception of citizens and the passengers can make changes to present policies, the successful national introduction of trams and safety study aims to review.
