Although traffic information has been actively analyzed using big data, it has not been used as much with the consideration of driver characteristics. Among the various types of information, road signs can directly affect the driver. Road signs must provide the optimal information that enables drivers to reach their destinations with ease as well as information suitable for navigation systems. However, present road sign rules provide standardized information, regardless of the road type or size. This study suggests a method for providing road information that will help drivers determine their behavior. First, the minimum character size that can be used on a road sign for each design speed was obtained with respect to the visibility and decipherability of a road sign. Instead of conventional diagram-based direction guidance, a scenario using split-based direction guidance was created. To verify the effectiveness of the provided information, a three-dimensional simulated road environment was constructed, and a driving simulator was used for the test. At a simple plane intersection, the driver was not greatly influenced by directional guidance, but at a complex, three-dimensional intersection, the driver preferred summary-based directional guidance, which is instinctive guidance, over diagram-based guidance. On the basis of the test results, a secondary verification test that applied split-based guidance at a three-dimensional intersection confirmed that the driver had no problems in making decisions.

The provision of warning information on upcoming hazards leading to potential crash occurrence is a significant countermeasure to prevent crashes on the highway. This study presents a methodology for selecting more effective warning messages using a multi-criteria value function. The understandability, preference level, and message reading time were used as measures of effectiveness (MOE) for messages. Expert judgements were incorporated into the value function by analytical hierarchical process (AHP) technique. Field experiments to evaluate the warning messages were conducted in a testbed section on the Jungboo-Naeryuk freeway. The proposed methodology would be a useful tool to support the design of various traffic information messages.

In this paper we present two databases for two different systems each having novel implementation ideas: a u-Healthcare system with a mobile gateway and MAGI network monitoring system. u-Healthcare system is capturing and monitoring vital sign data without restrictions of location and time using body sensor network and a mobile gateway. MAGI is a system which has a dynamic firewall function and solves problems of existing traffic monitoring tools. In addition to presenting the design principles behind these two systems, we describe the respective database schemas together with detailed information of the data stored within the databases. We will also show and discuss performance measurements and calculations for both systems. Based on the performance data we will discuss the systems' suitability for their intended uses.

This paper describes the development and verification of control algorithms for V2X and environmental sensor integrated intersection support and safety systems. The objective of the research is to develop core technologies for effective fusion of V2X and environmental sensors and to develop new safety function for intersection safety. One of core technologies is to achieve the improvement of GPS accuracy, and the other is to develop the algorithm of a vehicle identification which matches all data from V2X, vehicle sensors and environmental sensors to specific vehicles. A intersection optimal pass (IOP) algorithm is designed based on these core technologies. IOP recommends appropriate speed to pass the intersection in the consideration of traffic light signal and preceeding vehicle existence. Another function is developed to prevent a collision avoidance when car crash caused by traffic violation of surrounding vehicles is expected. Finally all functions are implemented and tested in three test vehicles. It is shown that IOP can support convenient and comfortable driving with recommending optimal pass speed and collision avoidance algorithm can effectively prevent collision caused by traffic sign violation of surrounding vehicles.

The variable message sign(VMS) is a representative traffic information service medium which has the largest users and is provided and operated by a governmental agency. In this paper, we focused on psychological responses of individuals who use VMS traffic information in the light of the need for VMS to provide user-oriented service. A total of t재 scenarios were plotted to conduct our experiment on a virtual test track. A stress index analysis on VMS location, the first scenario, showed the lowest stress value at the point of 1.5 kilometers before the exit. A stress index analysis on the contents of VMS information (communication, time, and speed), the second scenario, showed the lowest stress value at time information.

In this paper, we propose a novel traffic safety system designed to reduce pedestrian traffic accidents and enhance safety on university campuses. The system involves real-time detection of vehicle speeds in designated areas and the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians at crosswalks. Utilizing the YOLOv5s model and Deep SORT method, the system performs speed measurement and object tracking within specified zones. Second, a condition-based output system is developed for crosswalk areas using the YOLOv5s object detection model to differentiate between pedestrians and vehicles. The functionality of the system was validated in real-time operation. Our system is cost-effective, allowing installation using ordinary smartphones or surveillance cameras. It is anticipated that the system, applicable not only on university campuses but also in similar problem areas, will serve as a solution to enhance safety for both vehicles and pedestrians.

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.

교통표지판 검출 및 인식은 차량의 자율주행 및 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)의 필수적인 요소이다. 교통표지판의 각종 표식을 인식하기 위해서는 먼저 교통표지판 영역을 검출해야 하며, 이 작업은 통상적으로 교통표지판에 포함된 빨간색을 추출하는 컬러 필터링을 통해 이루어진다. 하지만 차량 영상에 나타나는 색상 성분은 태양광의 방향이나 날씨 등에 상당한 영향을 받으며 이러한 조도 환경은 차량이 주행하게 되면 시간적으로도 수시로 변화한다. 더군다나 사용하는 카메라의 내부적인 특성에 따라서도 색상 성분의 분포가 달라지기 때문에 컬러 필터링을 위한 임계값은 고정값을 사용하기 보다는 적응적으로 변화시킬 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 조도 환경과 다양한 카메라 종류에 따라서 영상 내 교통표지판의 빨간색 성분의 분포를 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 임계값을 가변적으로 설정하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 모의실험을 통해 제안 방법을 적용하면 고정된 임계값을 사용한 방법보다 조도변화에 강인하게 교통표지판 영역을 검출할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a scheme to provide children safer and more comfortable walking circumstances by survey current walking circumstances of school zone ways. First, to avoid pedestrian roads being interrupted and to expand waiting space near school zone ways, several measures are needed including fixing roads, using schools' unemployed spaces and building additional gateway. Second, pedestrian crossings in front of school gate should be located at least 23.16m away from the left side of the gate. Third, on narrow path which cross main streets, the interval of pedestrian signal should be extended as against of the moment. And traffic calming facilities should be built on accurate position. Fourth, to secure pedestrians' safety and field of view, trees lining streets and any obstacles located within 10m from bus stop sign should be removed. Finally, education system about school zone ways should be improved to help children get used to more complicated roads' conditions.
