When raining or snowing, windshield wiper system is very important for safety of driver. However, manual wiper system frequently needed to be controlled for sufficient visibility and it was very uncomfortable. So, rain sensor which controls automatically was developed. This rain sensor technology uses optical sensing technique sensed the rainfall by receiving reflected light of rain dropped on the windshield. The technology used optical sensor was simple and easy to implement as a rain sensing system in the car. However, it is sometime shown low accuracy to measure rainfall on the windshield when affected by ambient lights from surroundings. It is also given inconvenience to the driver to control the car. To solving these problems, we propose a rain sensing system using image sensor and the fuzzy wiper control algorithm.

인터넷 기반의 광역화 물류환경인 e-Logistics에서 요구하는 가시성을 충족하기 위해서는 지역별 전자지도 및 차량 위치정보에 대한 공유와 통합이 필수적이다. 기존의 대부분의 차량관제시스템들은 독자적인 체계를 중심으로 구축되었기 때문에 정보의 공유와 통합을 위해서는 막대한 비용이 필요하다. 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 XML 엔코딩 표준인 GML을 이용하여 이동체 위치정보와 지도정보의 프리젠테이션을 위한 컴포넌트 기반의 개방형 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 아울러 e-Logistics 환경의 배송 시나리오를 통한 실험을 통해 확장성 및 상호 운용성에 대한 우수성을 확인하였다.

Recommendations for older driver-friendly automobile interior design have been determined by taking into account older people's physical and cognitive characteristics. Twenty three older people (aged from 54 to 78) and five younger people (from 20 to 29) performed several tasks in actual driving conditions, in which their reaction times and performance errors were recorded. Some design factors were found to be related to older drivers' visibility and controllability. Several design recommendations were proposed in terms of cluster color and font, display location, and HVAC control type. Proposed recommendations are expected to satisfy a wider range of older drivers as these will facilitate automobile interior designs which are fitter to older drivers' visual, cognitive, and manual capabilities.

In this paper, we present multi-sensor data fusion for telematics application. Successful telematics can be realized through the integration of navigation and spatial information. The well-determined acquisition of vehicle's position plays a vital role in application service. The development of GPS is used to provide the navigation data, but the performance is limited in areas where poor satellite visibility environment exists. Hence, multi-sensor fusion including IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), GPS(Global Positioning System), and DMI (Distance Measurement Indicator) is required to provide the vehicle's position to service provider and driver behind the wheel. The multi-sensor fusion is implemented via algorithm based on Kalman filtering technique. Navigation accuracy can be enhanced using this filtering approach. For the verification of fusion approach, land vehicle test was performed and the results were discussed. Results showed that the horizontal position errors were suppressed around 1 meter level accuracy under simulated non-GPS availability environment. Under normal GPS environment, the horizontal position errors were under 40㎝ in curve trajectory and 27㎝ in linear trajectory, which are definitely depending on vehicular dynamics.

In recent years, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Autonomous Vehicle Technology have actively studied around the world. In order to achieve the purpose of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle Technology, it must be obtained accurate and reliable positioning. However, the problem of positioning in the urban area is a low position accuracy caused by the reduction of the number of visible satellites due to high buildings. In this paper, we analyzed the availability of precise positioning system in urban area are using GPS/BDS integrated system. For this study, GPS and BDS satellite signals were collected using two low-cost receivers in the open sky and a designed software based platform for precise positioning performance analysis. And we analyzed the precise positioning performance by changing the mask angle considering the urban area. From the results, it can be confirmed that the performance of precise positioning of GPS only and BDS only decrease in the environment where mask angle is $40^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$, however, GPS/BDS integrated system maintains high performance of precise positioning.

A communications profile is a system that acquires information from communication links to an ambulance or other vehicle moving on a road and compiles a database based on this information. The equipment (six sets of HDTVs, fish-eye camera, satellite antenna with tracking system, and receiving power from the satellite beacon of the N-star) mounted on the roof of the vehicle, image data were obtained at Yokohama Japan. From these data, the polygon of the building was actually produced and has arranged on the map of the Geographical Survey Institute of a 50 m-mesh. The optical study (relationship between visibility rate and elevation angle) were performed on actual data taken by fish-eye lens, and simulated data by 3D-Map with polygons. There was no big difference. This 3D map system then predicts the communication links that will be available at a given location. For line-of-sight communication, optical analysis allows approximation if the frequency is sufficiently high. For non-line-of-sight communication, previously obtained electric power data can be used as reference information for approximation in certain cases when combined with predicted values calculated based on a 3D map. 3D maps are more effective than 2D maps for landing emergency medical helicopters on public roadways in the event of a disaster. Using advanced imaging technologies, we have produced a semi-automatic creation of a high-precision 3D map at Yokohama Yamashita Park and vicinity and assessed its effectiveness on telecommunications and ambulatory merits.

This paper shows a feasibility analysis results on RFID for car positioning system. Usually, a car navigation is mainly based on GPS combined with map-matching. However, in the case of poor visibility of satellites, GPS can not supply accurate position information continuously. In recent years, RFID has been considered to be one of key technologies in positioning and localization area. But its application and research results in the area of vehicular positioning are not popular. RFID system consists of tag, reader, antenna and software such as drivers and middleware. The main function of RFID system in a vehicular positioning is to retrieve ID recorded position information from tags which set on the center of road. We propose a positioning method for vehicles using RFID and we present some indoor and outdoor experiment results to show that the proposed method is available in vehicle operational environments.

In this paper, a robust traffic light detection method is proposed by using vision sensor and DGPS(Difference Global Positioning System). The conventional vision-based detection methods are very sensitive to illumination change, for instance, low visibility at night time or highly reflection by bright light. To solve these limitations in visual sensor, DGPS is incorporated to determine the location and shape of traffic lights which are available from traffic light database. Furthermore the geometric relationship between traffic light and vision sensor is used to locate the traffic light in the image by using DGPS information. The empirical results show that the proposed method improves by 51% in detection rate for night time with marginal improvement in daytime environment.

국내의 교통사고는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 현재 1차 사고를 방지하기 위한 IOT 기술들이 적용되고 있지만 2차 사고방지를 위한 실질적인 대안은 제시되고 있지 않다. 단지 일반적인 지침으로 권고하고 있는 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 통신 기술을 활용하여 2차사고 방지를 위한 제안 모델 및 시뮬레이션을 구현하고 있다. 1차사고 시 운전자의 시야 확보가 가능한 상황에서는 안전거리를 확보하여 2차 사고를 예방 할 수 있지만 터널 및 산악 지형 또는 차량 통행이 많은 곡선도로와 같이 운전자의 시야확보가 어려운 지역에서는 1차사고 후 2차 사고의 확률이 점점 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 1차 사고는 센서기술을 활용한 정보로 사고 판단을 하고 V2V 또는 V2I 통신을 통한 2차사고 방지를 구현하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 운전자의 시야가 확보되는 경우의 2차 사고는 제안 모델과 차이가 없었으나 시야가 확보되지 않고 통신이 단절된 곳에서는 제안모델이 적용된 결과 3%~7% 사고율이 감소하였다.

Bird-Eye View 서비스는 특정 도로구간에서 안개, 폭우, 폭설 등으로 운전자의 시계가 매우 불량할 때 주변 UVS 차량 위치정보 및 주행속도 기반의 안전거리 경보를 제공하여 안전주행을 지원하는 서비스로 규정할 수 있다. 시계 확보 불가능 시 V2V 통신을 통해 주변 UVS 차량의 정보를 수신하여 상대거리 정보를 표출함으로써 추돌 및 충돌사고의 위험을 감소시키는 한편, 차량 간 상대속도를 기반으로 안전거리를 산정하고 안전거리가 미 확보될 때에는 경보를 제공하여 운전자의 안전한 주행을 유도한다. 이를 기존의 장소중심 교통정보수집방식에서 이제는 각 개인 스마트폰을 이용한 u-TSN(Ubiquitous Transportation Sensor Network) 즉, 센서네트워크 기반에서 능동적, 자율적으로 이루어지게 하는 교통서비스 인프라를 구축 정보수집, 가공, 제공의 일련의 프로세스로 구현하였다.
