  • A pedestrian navigation system, an information delivery server, and a program for naturally guiding (such as speech-guiding) the user of a portable terminal at an intersection. An information delivery server comprises a map database containing data such as nodes including paths constituting intersections, links, and costs of the links. The node-link structure is the most important part in pedestrian navigation system. Functional requirements for the road map database vary in different navigation phases. though there are various road network models, their traditional node-link structures, unfortunately, do not solve the problem well. This paper proposes a node-link structure for pedestrian navigation system. The network topological structure in pedestrianl network is presented, which accords with the practical walking habit better than traditional way treating the entire road network.

  • The global positioning system (GPS)-enabled mobile phones provide location-based applications such as car and pedestrian navigation services. The pedestrian navigation services provide safe and comfortable route and path guidance for pedestrians and handicapped or elderly people. One of the essential components for a navigation system is a spatial database used to perform navigation and routing functions. In this paper, we develop modeling and categorization of pedestrian path components for smart tour guide services using the mobile pedestrian navigation application. We create pedestrian networks using 2D base map and sky view map in urban area. We also construct pedestrian networks and attributes of node, link, and POI using on-site GPS data and photos for smart pedestrian tour guide in the major walking tourist spots in Jeju.

  • Recently, the target of navigation system is moving from the cars to pedestrians. Many researches are in progress regarding pedestrian navigation, However, in most cases, the path-finding is based on the existing node/link network model. which is widely used for the car navigation, and thus showing its limitation. The reasons arc that a) unlike with a car, the paths that pedestrians take arc not limited to the roads, b) pedestrians an~ not restricted in rotation or direction, and c) they can freely move within the walkable space. No alternatives have been offered yet, especially for openspaces such as a park or square. Therefore, in this research, we suggested appropriate methods to create paths that can be used in pedestrian navigation service, by using motion-planning technology, which is used in the field of robotics for planning the motion of an object, and conducted tests for their applicability.

  • Opportunistic routing is designed for an environment where there is no stable end-to-end routing path between source node and destination node, and messages are forwarded via intermittent contacts between nodes and routed using a store-carry-forward mechanism. In this paper, we consider PRoPHET(Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity) protocol as a base opportunistic routing protocol and propose an efficient context-aware opportunistic routing protocol by using the context information of delivery predictability and node type, e.g., pedestrian, car, and tram. In the proposed protocol, the node types of sending node and receiving node are checked. Then, if either sending node or receiving node is tram, messages are forwarded by comparing the delivery predictability of receiving node with predefined delivery predictability thresholds depending on the combination of sending node and receiving node types. Otherwise, messages are forwarded if the delivery predictability of receiving node is higher than that of sending node, as defined in PRoPHET protocol. Finally, we analyze the performance of the proposed protocol from the aspect of delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency than PRoPHET protocol in most of the considered simulation environments.

  • In pedestrian detection applications, one of the most popular frameworks that has received extensive attention in recent years is widely known as a 'Hough forest' (HF). To improve the accuracy of detection, this paper proposes a novel split function to exploit the statistical information of the training set stored in each node during the construction of the forest. The proposed split function makes the trees in the forest more robust to noise and illumination changes. Moreover, the errors of each stage in the training forest are minimized using a global loss function to support trees to track harder training samples. After having the forest trained, the standard HF detector follows up to search for and localize instances in the image. Experimental results showed that the detection performance of the proposed framework was improved significantly with respect to the standard HF and alternating decision forest (ADF) in some public datasets.

  • Street-view images, which are omnidirectional scenes centered on a specific location on the road, can provide various obstacle information for the pedestrians. Pedestrian network data for the navigation services should reflect the up-to-date obstacle information to ensure the mobility of pedestrians, including people with disabilities. In this study, the object detection model was trained for the bollard as a major obstacle in Seoul using street-view images and a deep learning algorithm. Also, a process for updating information about the presence and number of bollards as obstacle properties for the crosswalk node through spatial matching between the detected bollards and the pedestrian nodes was proposed. The missing crosswalk information can also be updated concurrently by the proposed process. The proposed approach is appropriate for crowdsourcing data as the model trained using the street-view images can be applied to photos taken with a smartphone while walking. Through additional training with various obstacles captured in the street-view images, it is expected to enable efficient information update about obstacles on the road.

  • 교통신호제어를 시행하려면 신호 검출을 위험한 곳에서 시행을 한다든지 한계에 부딪히는 곳에서 데이터를 수집를 하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이곳에 sensor node를 배치하여 데이터를 수집하면 저렴한 가격의 센서들을 통한 정보획득과 무선 네트워크를 통한 통신을 시행할뿐만 아니라 초전력 소모기술을 이용하여 대규모 교통데이터 정보수집을 시행하여 차량우선이 아닌 보행자 우선의 신호제어 알고리즘을 구현하는데 많은 잇점을 지니고 있다.

  • Station transfers for smart card based railway networks refer to transfer pedestrian movements that occur at the origin and destination nodes rather than at a middle station. To calculate the optimum path for the railway network, a penalty for transfer pedestrian movement must be included in addition to the cost of within-car transit time. However, the existing link label-based path searching method is constructed so that the station transfer penalty between two links is detected. As such, station transfer penalties that appear at the origin and destination stations are not adequately reflected, limiting the effectiveness of the model. A ghost node may be introduced to expand the network, to make up for the station transfer penalty, but has a pitfall in that the link label-based path algorithm will not hold up effectively. This research proposes an optimal path search algorithm to reflect station transfer penalties without resorting to enlargement of the existing network. To achieve this, a method for applying a directline transfer penalty by comparing Ticket Gate ID and the line of the link is proposed.

  • In general, transfer in subway stations is defined as transfer between lines and station transfer. In transfer between lines, passengers change from one subway line to another by utilizing horizontal pedestrian facilities such as transfer passages and pedestrian way. Station transfer appears in the situation that subway lines of enter and exit gate terminals differs from those of boarding and alighting trains and passenger trips utilize both vertical pedestrian facilities such as stair and escalator and horizontal facilities. The hypothesis on these two transfers presupposes that all subway lines are operated by either local train or express in subway network. This means that in a transfer case both local and express trains are operated in the same subway line, as a case of Seoul Metro Line 9, has not been studied. This research proposes a methodology of finding the same line transfer in the Seoul metropolitan subway network built based on the smart card network data by suggesting expanded network concept and a model that passengers choose a theirs minimum time routes.
