In this study, traffic safety technology was developed for rural areas by reviewingthe relevant literature and data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System for the Chungcheong region.The goal is to reduce traffic accidents in small regional cities and rural areas in Korea. A road shoulder recognition light was developed to fit the pedestrian characteristics of the people using transportation in rural areas. It also minimizes damage to crops due to light pollution from traffic lights and street lights, and it supplements problems of damage from collision with vehicles and agricultural machines. The efficiency of the technology developed in this study was verified by comparing and analyzing the number of traffic accidents and the saved cost before and after its installation. A test bedwas established based on rural areas and is being evaluated for its applicability and effectiveness. It is expected that the reliability of such facilities could be improved through continuous studies, data collection, and analysis.

This paper proposes an improve method of the detection performance of traffic lights for autonomous driving cars. Earlier detection methods used to adopt color thresholding, template matching and based learning maching methods, but its have some problems such as recognition rate decreasing, slow processing time. The proposed method uses both detection mask and morphological preprocessing. Firstly, input color images are converted to YCbCr image in order to strengthen its illumination, and horizontal edge components are extracted in the Y Channel. Secondly, the region of interest is detected according to morphological characteristics of the traffic lights. Finally, the traffic signal is detected based on color distributions. The proposed method showed that the detection rate and processing time improved rather than the conventional algorithm about some surrounding environments.

"Cut off line" in automotive passing beam has very important safety function because it serves for headlamp aiming. Headlights that are aimed incorrectly will not only perform poorly but also offend oncoming traffic. In addition, an objective definition of cut off line in low beam is necessary, since a requirement for correct aiming of the beams is specified within all the existing regulations. Accordingly, headlight regulations are requirements that automobiles must satisfy in order to be sold in a particular country. In this study, a more advanced recognition method for the cut off lines of the various headlamps commonly used in Europe, North America, and domestic is suggested and a headlamp testing system is developed to adjust the beam to the country-specific regulation. This system uses image processing technology to detect the cut off lines in the beam patterns of halogen headlamps, high-intensity discharge headlamps, and light-emitting diode headlamps as well.

Even if the traffic light is green, if vehicles enter a jammed intersection, they are violation of the law. The police is enforcing law as a part of a nation wide campaign. Because, using the camcorder, the police can not do enforcement the offending vehicle, there are other techniques. Our research group proposed automated photographic equipment enable to enforce moving violation in intersection. Using new license plate recognition technology and backtracking technology to trace the offending vehicle, once the system detects a violator, it records 8 wide pictures and 1picture from the front vehicle, showing it enter and proceed through the intersection. Field experimental results obtained in the system, the following conclusions. The three measures of effectiveness investigated were recognition rate 83.5, mis-match recognition rate 1.5%.

지능형 차량 시스템에 있어서 교통 표지판 검출/인식은 매우 중요한 요소들 중의 하나이다. 따라서 주행 중인 차량에서 카메라로부터 취득한 영상을 이용하여 교통 표지판을 인식하는 여러 가지 영상인식 알고리즘들이 개발되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 알고리즘은 표지판의 색상 값이 날씨와 시간에 따른 조도와 컬러의 변화에 따라 성능이 크게 변한다는 점에서 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 환경 변화에 강인한 교통 표지판 검출 및 인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 표지판 검출을 위하여 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 색상과 형태 정보를 이용하여 교통 표지판 후보군을 찾는다. 여러 색상 임계값에 대하여 영상 피라미드 형태를 만들고, 모든 피라미드 영상들에 대해서 인식 알고리즘을 수행함으로써 실외 빛에 변화에 강인하게 한다. 교통 표지판 후보군을 찾은 후, 후보군들을 Linear SVM을 통해 학습함으로써 교통 표지판인지 아닌지 분류해낸다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리즘이 정확하게 교통 표지판을 인식하고, 동시에 실외 빛의 변화에 상관없이 강인하게 표지판을 인식함을 보여준다.

As the increased importance is placed on the new transit systems owing to the environmental pollution caused by the road traffic congestion, the policy for the introduction of the new transit systems as an alternative solution to ease the heavy burden of the construction expenses is being actively established. Since the explicit recognition of such transit systems and the review on the method of its adoption have been a pressing matter in the light of reducing the pending traffic congestion, the development of the rolling stock systems in modes of new transportation has been made in various ways taking into consideration the regional circumstances to alleviate traffic congestion, and offer a more efficient service with the application of their intrinsic characteristics. Such systems also have been developed as a mix of punctuality for railway systems operating on the runway and flexibility for buses. This paper, therefore, deals in more detail with 3 modes of systems such as low-floor articulated buses, GRT(Guided Rapid Transit) and tram cars, and studies the overseas cases of the operation of those systems involving both negative and positive aspects.

The LPR(License plate recognition) system has been developed to efficient control for complex traffic environment and currently be used in many places. However, because of light, noise, background changes, environmental changes, damaged plate, it only works limited environment, so it is difficult to use in real-time. This paper presents a heuristic segmentation algorithm for robust to noise and illumination changes and introduce a real-time license plate recognition system using it. In first step, We detect the plate utilized Haar-like feature and Adaboost. This method is possible to rapid detection used integral image and cascade structure. Second step, we determine the type of license plate with adaptive histogram equalization, bilateral filtering for denoise and segment accurate character based on adaptive threshold, pixel projection and associated with the prior knowledge. The last step is character recognition that used histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and multi-layer perceptron(MLP) for number recognition and support vector machine(SVM) for number and Korean character classifier respectively. The experimental results show license plate detection rate of 94.29%, license plate false alarm rate of 2.94%. In character segmentation method, character hit rate is 97.23% and character false alarm rate is 1.37%. And in character recognition, the average character recognition rate is 98.38%. Total average running time in our proposed method is 140ms. It is possible to be real-time system with efficiency and robustness.
