Vehicular communications extend their application areas by combining communication technologies with roads/vehicles, and one of major applications is Smart Highway project. Smart Highway is a new advanced highway system which enhances the current highway system in Korea by improving reliability, safety and convenience. In this paper, we introduce wireless access technologies for vehicular communications especially focusing on Smart Highway. We first introduce the overall communication system architecture and the basic service and communication requirements for Smart Highway. Then, we discuss wireless access technologies including L2-level hand-over scheme. In addition, the results of experimental measurements of Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) system are introduced.

This study was promoted to prepare an ESG-oriented work system for Korea Expressway Corporation through sustainable highway construction, IOT-based smart highway preparation, and establishment of a broad convergence business governance system between multiple ministries and implementing entities. Based on the 2nd Basic Plan for Landscape Policy (2020~2024) and the Public Design Promotion Act (2018~2022), the study was conducted through the improvement of the highway design method to be applied for four years from 2021 to 2024, the changes in construction and social conditions related to expressways, the analysis of policies and plans to secure consistency with the 'Korean New Deal', and the analysis of the project performance and work promotion system that the Korea Expressway Corporation's business execution organization has promoted together with each government department. The results of this research are expected to help the Korea Expressway Corporation establish the 21st Innovation Plan for the phased construction of a "100-years landscape with people" and the preparation of a sustainable future highway environment creation project for the lives and safety of the people.

This research, conducted over a three-year period starting from 2020, was a collaborative project between practitioners in the field of VE design and the Korea Expressway Corporation, aimed at innovating the design VE project to construct an intelligent ICT-based smart highway and enhancing highway driving performance and customer satisfaction. The research included R&D support for payment and management systems integrated with IOT technology, the application of the developed prototype at highway sites, and analysis of user performance evaluation. Based on the Innovation Work Roadmap of the Korea Expressway Corporation, the research process involved collaboration between a public participation group and an expert group, considering the technical feasibility of data-based ICT technology through the National Idea VE Contest. The final VE design results were implemented at the Seongnam tollgate site with budget support from relevant departments, followed by a satisfaction survey. It is expected that the continuous contributions to achieving an ESG society, such as the increase in the number of customers using the tolling zone equipped with smart upgrades, along with their satisfaction rate, and the reduction in carbon emissions and total settlement time of highway users, will be sustained.

The SMART Highway project combines road construction with advanced technology and vehicle telecommunications. Its expected outcome is a world-leading intelligent road that is green, fast, and comfortable. A vehicular ad-hoc network(VANET) is the core technology of the SMART Highway, whose transport operation is based on road vehicles. The VANET is a next-generation networking technology that enables wireless communication between vehicles or between vehicles and a road side unit(RSU). In the VANET system, a vehicle accident is likely to cause a serious disaster. Therefore, some information on safety is essential to serve as the key exchange protocol for communication between vehicles. However, the key exchange scheme of the general network proposed for a fast-moving communication environment is unsuitable for vehicles. In this paper, communication between multiple vehicles more efficient and secure key exchange at the vehicle certification by signcryption is proposed.

This study aims to review whether climbing lane installment is needed by analyzing the impact that standard trucks have on traffic according to vertical alignment at SMART highway, and if climbing lanes are required to propose truck speed change curves based on slope length. We used VISSIM simulation model to obtain the speed change of the standard truck on uphill roads. The standard truck on climbing lanes was set for 100kg/kW (170lb/hp) with the entry speeds set and analyzed by 90, 100, and 110 km/h considering the future speed limit of trucks. The results of the research show that under SMART highway circumstance, the 1 and 2% vertical alignment is not needed at the climbing lane but 3% vertical alignment is necessary. In order to install the climbing lane at 3% vertical alignment, the speed change curve of truck depending on slope length of 90, 100, and 110km/h of entry speed is proposed.

SMART Highway 사업은 첨단 IT통신과 자동차 및 도로 기술이 접목된 세계 최고수준의 빠르고 편안한 지능형 녹색도로 실현을 목표로 하고 있다. SMART Highway의 도로-자동차 기반 교통운영에서 핵심기술인 VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network)은 다수의 차량들이 무선통신을 이용하여 차량 간 통신 또는 차량과 RSU(Road Side Unit)사이의 통신을 제공하는 차세대 네트워킹 기술이다. 특히, 운전자의 안전에 직접적인 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 V2V 통신의 경우 차량 간의 안전한 통신을 위해 차량 간 상호인증이 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 이처럼 빠른 속도로 이동하는 차량 간 인증이 원활이 이루어지기 위해서는 기존의 네트워크에서 사용된 인증방식은 그대로 적용시키기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수의 차량 간 통신 시에 보다 효율적인 차량 인증을 위해 카운팅 블룸필터를 이용한 차량 인증 기법을 제안한다.

Vehicular density is usually low in a highway environment. Consequently, connectivity of the vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) might be poor. We are investigating the problem of deploying the approximation optimal roadside units (RSUs) on the highway covered by VANETs, which employs VANETs to provide excellent connectivity. The goal is to estimate the minimal number of deployed RSUs to guarantee the connectivity probability of the VANET within a given threshold considering that RSUs are to be allocated equidistantly. We apply an approximation algorithm to distribute RSUs locations in the VANETs. Thereafter, performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by calculating the connectivity probability of the VANET. The simulation results show that there is the threshold value M of implemented RSUs corresponding to each vehicular network with N vehicles. The connectivity probability increases slowly with the number of RSUs getting larger.
