이 연구는 수학교육자의 시각에서 도로 노면에 표시된 기호와 문자에 대해 분석한 결과이다. 연구의 목적은 운전자의 시각에서 가독성이 높은 도로 노면표시 방법을 제안하는데 있다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 사영기하학과 함수의 관점에서 도로 노면표시가 실제로 인식되는 모양을 분석하고, 압축비의 개념을 도입하여 바람직한 도로 표시의 대안을 제시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 압축비를 구하는 공식을 수립하였다. 노면표시에 대한 두 관찰각을 x, y라 하면 압축비 S는 ${\sin}y/{\cos}\(\frac{x-y}{2}\)$이 된다. 둘째, 압축비 및 실제로 운전자가 지각하는 노면표시에 대한 정보로부터 수학적 분석을 통해 노면표시에 대한 대안을 두 가지로 제시하였다. 하나는 압축비의 관점에서 노면표시를 개선하는 방법이고, 다른 하나는 가로 방향의 폭을 고정한 상태에서 세로 방향의 폭의 조절을 통해 개선하는 방법이다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 점선에 따른 속도 감각 인식에 대한 수학적 분석 연구가 진행될 수 있다.

최근 웹 또는 모바일 기기에서 전자지도를 이용한 정보 제공 서비스의 활성화로 도로 노면의 다양한 기호들을 자동으로 인식하는 기술이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 HOG-SP(Histogram of oriented Gradients-Split Projection) 서술자를 이용하여 도로 노면에 표시된 11가지의 방향지시기호를 자동으로 인식하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 인식된 방향지시기호를 기반으로 차선 위치 검출의 성능 향상을 나타내었다. 네이버 로드 뷰 영상으로 실험하여 제안하는 방법으로 81.99%의 인식률을 보였으며, 기존의 다른 특징들과의 비교 실험을 통해 제안하는 방법의 우수성을 입증하였다. 또한, 방향지시기호를 먼저 인식한 후 차선의 위치를 검출함으로써 단순히 차선의 위치만 검출하는 방법보다 7.64% 더 높은 검출률을 얻었다.

교통노면표시는 다양한 도로정보를 일차적으로 이용자에게 전달하는 중요한 교통시설 중 하나로, 교통노면표시에 대한 올바른 이해는 교통안전 향상 및 올바른 교통문화 정착에 필수적인 사항이다. 그러나 전술한 교통노면표시의 중요도에도 불구하고 교통노면표시 이해도에 대한 국내 연구결과는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이용자별 교통노면표시의 이해도를 설문조사를 통해 추정하였으며, 이용자 특성에 따른 이해도 차이의 유의성을 교차표와 로지스틱 모형을 적용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 분석대상 교통노면표시에 대한 평균 이해도는 57.41%로 비교적 낮게 나타났으며, 양보표시의 이해도가 25.88%로 가장 낮았으며, 횡단보도예고표시의 이해도는 91.18%로 가장 높게 분석되었다. 한편 교차분석결과 일부 노면표시의 이해도는 운전면허 정지 및 취소자(특별교통안전교육대상자)와 같은 이용자 그룹에 따라 유의한 영향을 받으나, 보다 일반적인 이용자 특성(성별 및 운전경력)에 따라서는 크게 달라지지 않음을 알 수 있었다(${\alpha}$=0.05). 이처럼 교통노면표시에 대한 전반적인 이해도는 이용자 특성에 따라 유의한 차이를 보이지 않는바, 모든 이용자를 대상으로 하는 전반적인 노면표시 이해도 향상 방안의 도출이 필요하다고 판단된다.

There is no overall understanding about the road marking situation in Korean national highway nowadays. In addition road marking increases risk in traffic accidents especially while it's raining at night because of diffused reflection. So administrator has a lot of problems to maintain and make a decision about the road marking. In this paper, literature review and field investigation about the road marking are carried out from the viewpoint of road safe and the propriety in retroreflective performance of the road marking is grasped. Also, improvement methods about retroreflective performance of the road marking are proposed on the basis of the result in field investigation.

OBJECTIVES : Visibility at night can be improved by using retroreflection for short distances and phosphorescent line markings for long distances. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the phosphorescent line marking through a laboratory luminance test. Field performance analysis was performed through tests conducted on the road. We also examined the luminance measurement methods using the digital image obtained during the phosphorescent visibility evaluation. METHODS : In this study, the laboratory luminance test of the phosphorescent line marking was conducted using seven specimens to characterize the luminance changes according to the type of the glass beads, the thickness of the phosphorescent line marking, and the brightness and irradiation time of the light source. Phosphorescent and general line markings were made at 150 m to investigate the field luminance performance. A preliminary review of the luminance measurement methods was made using a digital image from a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. The measured luminance ratio of the general and the phosphorescent line markings was compared with the calculated luminance ratio using luminance analysis. RESULTS : Through the laboratory luminance test, it was seen that the change in luminance, which corresponds to the brightness of the light source, appears large but the influence of the thickness and irradiation time is low. The field performance test of the phosphorescent line marking conducted on the road involved measuring the luminance on the day the marking was made and 7 days after the marking was made. The luminance was found to be $190mcd/m^2$ at 30 min after sunset and approximately $10-12mcd/m^2$ 4h after sunset. The results of the luminance test were captured using a digital image for each time group. The luminance ratio of the phosphorescent line marking, when compared to that of the general line marking, showed a similar trend within a 13% maximum error. Additionally, when this luminance ratio is compared to the direct field measurement, it could be confirmed that the luminance ratio, as captured in the digital image, showed a similar tendency. CONCLUSIONS : 1) The change in luminance corresponding to the brightness of the light source is significant in comparison with that corresponding to the thickness and the irradiation time. In addition, the results of the field test for the phosphorescent line marking satisfied the phosphorescent fire protection standard. 2) We examined the validity of the luminance measurement method using a digital image and we concluded that the change in the luminance ratio shows a similar tendency in both the cases. The results can form the basis for luminance measurement methodology for the construction and maintenance of phosphorescent line markings.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to derive the optimum mixing ratio of phosphorescent pigment for the development of phosphorescent line marking. METHODS: In this study, we utilized a literature review and case study methodology, to describe the domestic and foreign state of practice for the production and mixing of phosphorescent pigment for use in line marking. The optimal mixing ratio was derived by comparing the reduction in luminance over time for the various phosphorescent pigment mixing ratios identified in the literature. In addition, performance and construction characteristics were analyzed using field testing techniques. RESULTS : The results were as follows: 1) the results of the luminance performance standards tests showed that all of the phosphorescence test specimens satisfied the phosphorescent fire protection standard. As the phosphorescent pigment mixing ratio increased, the luminance value increased, 2) the luminance reduction rate was minimum at the mixing ratio of 50%. However, when compared to a mixing ratio 40%, a small difference was recorded, the luminance reduction rate from the mixing ratio of 40% is judged as being converged. Therefore, in view of the economic efficiency, it was determined that the optimal mixing ratio was 40%, 3) as a result of construction on the field, a mixing ratio of 40% was found to have a higher luminance value than the general line marking for up to three hours after sunset, 4) it was found that the phosphorescent line markings without glass beads spraying had a higher luminance value than the phosphorescent line markings with glass beads spraying. CONCLUSIONS : Through the results of the basic experiments of the line markings obtained by blending a phosphorescent pigment, the results could be applied to play an important role in the development of phosphorescent line marking paint technology and in establishing application planning for on-site construction characteristics.

In this paper, the image modelling of road's lane markings is established using view frustum(VF) model. From this model, a measurement system of lane markings and obstacles is proposed. The system also involve the real time processing of the 3D position coordinate and the distance data from the camera to the points on the 3D world coordinate by virtue of the camera calibration. In order to reduce their measurement error, an useful algorithm for which analyze the geometric variations due to traveling vehicle's fluctuation using VF model is proposed. In experiments, without correction, for instance, the $0.4^{\circ}$ of pitching rotation gives the error of $0.4{\sim}0.6m$ at the distance of 10m, but the more far distance cause exponentially the more error. We con finned that this algorithm can be reduced less than 0.1m of error at the same condition.

Navigation in outdoor environments is a fundamental and challenging problem for unmanned ground vehicles. Detecting lane markings or boundaries on the road may be one of the solutions to make navigation easy. However, because of various environments and road conditions, a robust lane detection is difficult. In this paper, we propose a new approach for estimating virtual lanes on a traversable region. Estimating the virtual lanes consist of two steps: (i) we detect virtual road region through road model selection based on traversability at current frame and similarity between the interframe and (ii) we estimate virtual lane using the number of lane on the road and results of previous frame. To improve the detection performance and reduce the searching region of interests, we use a probability map representing the traversability of the outdoor terrain. In addition, by considering both current and previous frame simultaneously, the proposed method estimate more stable virtual lanes. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach using real data in outdoor environments.
