Abstract

Assuming a completed Smart Highway road & communication environment that allows real-time information collection and transmission of road traffic condition ahead, the purpose of this study is to develop a plan for inducing a network-level safe driving pattern by providing road traffic condition and safety information to multiple drivers through a road information provision device. In this study, the device with a function that displays different colors according to the hazard level to the existing delineator has been named 'Smart Delineator'. Smart Delineator is a device that provides not only alignment information but also safety information for drivers to receive real-time warning information and intuitively recognize road traffic condition ahead so that drivers can respond. To examine the effects of safety driving inducement level on drivers, a simulation test was conducted using driving simulator as well as a satisfaction survey. The result showed that the Smart Delineator was able to identify the location of occurrence and affecting driving according pattern, either adhering to recommended speed or reducing speed according to the pre-defined hazard level.

본 연구에서는 실시간으로 차량 및 도로교통상황에 대한 정보의 수집 및 전송이 가능한 스마트하이웨이의 도로 및 통신환경이 조성되었을 때를 가정하여, 도로 Infra 기반의 정보제공수단을 통해 전방 도로교통상태정보 및 안전정보를 다수의 운전자에게 공통적으로 제공하여 네트워크 차원의 안전운행을 유도할 수 있는 방안을 마련하고자 하였다. 기존의 델리네이터에서 위험도 등급에 따라 색깔을 달리해 표출하는 기능을 추가한 장비를 스마트 델리네이터(Smart Delineator)로 명명하였다. 스마트 델리네이터는 기존의 델리네이터의 기능과 같은 선형정보 제공 기능 뿐만 아니라, 시시각각 변화하는 도로교통 상황정보 및 노면 상태정보를 실시간으로 제공받아 전방 도로교통상황에 대해 제공된 경고정보를 운전자가 직관적으로 인지하고 이를 수용하여 충분한 여유거리와 시간을 갖고 대응할 수 있도록 안전정보를 제공하는 시설물이다. 운전자의 안전운전 유도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 도로 주행 시뮬레이터를 이용한 모의 시뮬레이션 평가 결과와 만족도 설문조사를 통해 안전운전 유도 효과를 도출해 보았다. 도로 주행 시뮬레이션을 이용한 운전자 반응 평가 결과 스마트 델리네이터는 이벤트 발생 위치에 대한 판단이 가능하며, 사전에 규정된 위험도 등급에 따른 통행속도 감소율 또는 권장속도에 따라 운전자들의 행동을 유도하는 효과가 있었다.
