  • The purpose in this study was to review the travel characteristics of the left-turn signal system on the signalized intersections under the study in Pusan area, construct the appropriate transportation systems under the different left-turn signal system : Protected Left-Turn signal system, Permissive Left-Turn signal system, and Protected-Permissive Left-Turn signal system based upon the travel characteristics reviewed, and finally suggest the optimal left-turn signal system which could reduce traffic delay and fuel consumption. and also improve traffic safety on the signalized intersections based upon the optimal transportation system constructed. Based upon the results, it was concluded that the Protected-Permissive Left-Turn signal system would be better and safer than the Permissive Left-Turn signal system in the aspects which could reduce decrease delay and fuel consumption, and simultaneously increase traffic safety on the signalized intersections, even if the optimal Permissive Left Turn signal system was found to be the best left-turn signal system in the aspects of the Measures of Effectiveness(MOE) on the intersections under the study.

  • This study is aimed at investigating drivers' reactions to yellow signal dilemma situations as a result of the existing signal system, and developing a new signal system. A driver-centered coping model was developed through bio-signal analysis. The driver's physiological response in the existing signal system was observed, and the signal system was developed by applying intersection road driving conditions using a car graphic simulator. Participants were classified into a control group (existing signal system) and an experimental group for a new yellow signal system (new signal system). Based on the results, the emergence of parasympathetic nerves was higher in the experimental group than in the control group, where a statistically significant difference was observed (p < 0.05). The newly developed signal system appeared to cause tension among drivers; however, the sympathetic to parasympathetic nerve ratio was 6: 4, which could be interpreted as an ideal balance. We conclude that drivers can drive more stably if the coping signal system developed in this study is applied to the traffic system.

  • Rx and Tx signal use same band in RFID. Then RFID system is not used duplexer and used coupler. RFID system have problem about Rx part to Tx leakage signal because that Rx signal port is Tx signal port's Isolation port. We proposal using phase shifter Tx leakage signal decrease than other RFID system. It is same signal Tx signal port's coupling port and isolation port signal except amplitude and phase. So if make coupling signal and isolation signal is in all same signal. We cancel Tx leakage signal used coupling port. And verification about ADS2006.

  • Purpose: A traffic signal controller needs to control and coordinate to ensure that traffic and pedestrians move as smoothly as possible. Since a traffic signal controller has a significant impact on the safety of vehicles and pedestrians, it is important to monitor the failure and deterioration of the traffic signal controller. The purpose of this paper is to propose an IoT (Internet of Things)-based monitoring system for a traffic signal controller. Methods: Every traffic signal controller has a nominal system trajectory specified when it is deployed. The proposed IoT-based monitoring system collects the system trajectory information through real-time monitoring. By comparing the nominal system trajectory and the monitored system trajectory, we are able to detect the failure and deterioration of the traffic signal controller. Conclusion: The proposed IoT-based monitoring system can contribute to the safety of vehicles and pedestrians by maximizing the availability of a traffic signal controller.

  • Recently, as e-learning technology advances, interaction and data exchange between lecturers and learners have become very important. In addition, accuracy of data delivery and efficiency of system implementation should be ensured. Considering these aspects, SignalR is the most suitable communication method for constructing an audience response system in e-learning. Existing audience response systems require separate wireless devices and have problems with system compatibility. SignalR, on the other hand, is capable of operating in all environments including PC programs, web, Android, and iOS, and has an advantage of being easy to develop applications. As such, SignalR is widely used in chatting functions for small scale, real-time communication system, and it has never been used to implement an audience response system. Thus, for the first time in this paper, an audience response system using SignalR was proposed and an experiment was conducted on whether it was applicable at the e-learning education field. Therefore, from the results fo an experiment, a variety of e-learning environments can be built through the audience response system using SignalR proposed in this paper.

  • A traffic detection system is a device that collects traffic information around an intersection. Most existing traffic detection systems provide very limited traffic information for signal control due to the restriction of vehicle detection area. A signal control scheme determines the transition among signal phases and the time that a phase lasts for. However, the existing signal control scheme do not resolve the traffic congestion effectively since they use restricted traffic information. In this paper, a new traffic detection system with a zone division signal control scheme is proposed to provide correct and detail traffic information and decrease the vehicle's waiting time at the intersection. The traffic detection system obtains traffic information in a way of vehicle-to-roadside communication between vehicles and sensor network. A new signal control scheme is built to exploit the sufficient traffic information provided by the proposed traffic detection system efficiently. Simulation results show that the proposed signal control scheme has 121 % and 56 % lower waiting time and delay time of vehicles at an intersection than other fuzzy signal control scheme.

  • This paper proposed the real-time monitoring methodology of a traffic signal controller. The proposed methodology is based on the simulation technology, and it is necessary to construct a simulation model imitating the behavior of a traffic signal controller. By executing the simulation model, we can obtain the 'nominal system trajectory' of the traffic signal controller. On the other hand, an IoT(Internet of Things)-based monitoring device is implemented in a traffic signal controller. Through the monitoring device, it is possible to obtain the 'actual system trajectory'. By comparing the nominal system trajectory and the actual system trajectory, we can estimate the degree of deterioration of a traffic signal controller.

  • The satellite employs an adaptive beamformer to efficiently detect various signals and to suppress multiple interference signals, simultaneously. Although the adaptive beamforming satellite system needs Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) information of the desired signal, it is difficult to estimate the signal AOAs on the satellite environment. However, the AOA estimation on the ground control tower is more efficient and accurate comparing to the satellite environment. In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming satellite system based on the signal location information on the ground, consisting on an angle estimator, an adaptive beamformer, and signal processing & D/B unit. The ground control tower estimates the accurate location of the signal source, and it sends the estimated coordinates of the desired signal to the satellite. The angle estimator mounted on the satellite calculates the desired signal AOA, based on the signal location information transmitted from the ground control center. The satellite beamformer detects the desired signal and suppresses unwanted signals based on the signal AOA calculated by the angle estimator. We provide computer simulation results to present the performance of the proposed satellite adaptive beamforming system based on the signal location information.
