In this study, the number of truck traffic accidents was predicted by using Poisson and negative binomial regression analysis to understand what factors affect accidents using expressway data. Significant variables in the truck traffic accident prediction model were continuous driving time, link length, truck traffic volume. number of bridges and number of drowsy shelters. The calculated LOSS rating was expressed on the national expressway network to diagnose the risk of truck accidents. This is expected to be used as basic data for policy establishment to reduce truck accidents on expressways.

In this paper, we propose a highway safety system that comprises a small number of central servers and smart mobile devices. To implement this system, we constructed a central server that collects GPS location information on cars, whose update messages are decreased via the car location estimation algorithm. The in-car mobile devices use the accelerometer sensors to detect hazardous situations; this information is updated to the central server that relays the information to the corresponding endangered cars via location-based unicast using LTE communication. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we equipped a mobile device app on a real car and conducted real experiments in various environments such as city streets, rural areas, and highway roads. Furthermore, we conducted simulations to evaluate the propagation of danger information. Finally, we conducted simulated experiments to detect car collisions as well as exceptions, such as falling of the mobile device from the cradle.

Variable speed limit(VSL) is a useful speed management tool for alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing traffic safety. The purpose of this study is to identify promising freeway segments for safety enhancement through VSL operations. An ordered probit model was adopted to capture factors affecting freeway crash severity that can be used to support decision making for selecting the promising segments. Pseudo elasticity and marginal effects, which are outcomes of the ordered probit analysis, were used to determine priority of promising segments for traffic safety. The results of this study would be useful in installing VSL systems and developing traffic control and operations strategies in practice.

This study developed a methodology that can reflect more realistic traffic flow to understand platoons on highways. The understanding of the phenomenon nay secure highway safety and authoritative credibility in highway planning. In this study platoons generated by 'random effects' of cars are modeled, and this model is validated using a real data set acquired from the Jayu Expressway in Kyonggi Province, Korea.

The Continuous Risk Profile (CRP) has been well known to be the most accurate and efficient among existing network screening methods. However, the classical CRP uses safety performance functions (SPFs) which require a huge investment to construct a database system. This study aims to suggest a new CRP method using average crash frequencies of homogeneous groups, instead of SPFs, as rescaling factors. Hierarchical clustering analysis is performed to classify freeway segments into homogeneous groups based on the data of AADT and number of lanes. Using the data from I-880 in California, the proposed method is compared to other several network screening methods. The results show that the proposed method decrease false positive rates while it does not produce any false negatives. The method developed in this study can be easily applied to screen freeway networks without any additional complex database systems, and contribute to the improvement of freeway safety management systems.

This study applies reinforcement learning to effectively operate expressway hard shoulder running (HSR). An HSR algorithm was developed, and its effectiveness was evaluated using the VISSIM microscopic simulation program. The simulation evaluated two aspects: mobility and safety. The DQN-based HSR algorithm found speed improvement of up to 26 km/h. Compared to the current method, the difference in the number of conflicts was not significant. Considering the results, a DQN-based HSR operation has a clear effect, and it is necessary to consider adjusting the current operational criteria.

본 연구에서 개발한 KARV-2의특징은 저가의 소형시스템이다. 4인승 소형지프차에 모든 컨트 롤시스템을 장착하고도 외부에 별로 표가 나지 않을 정도임에도 그 성능 면에서는 고속도로를 자율주행할 수 있다는 점이다. 첨단기술의 개발과 더불어 이 차량의 성능도 계속 개선될 것이다. 언젠가는 궤도 위를 달리는 기차와 같이 정확하고 안전하게 주행할 수 있어, 탑승자는 마음놓고 그저 신문을 읽거나 음료수를 마시면서 스쳐 가는 경관을 즐길 수 있는 시기가 곧 도래할 것 으로 믿는 다. 이를 위하여는 차량작동의 신뢰도 향상이 절대 전제조건이다. 앞으로는 일기조건 이나 주야에 관계없이 마치궤도 위를 달리는 기차처럼 안전하게 주행할 수 있는 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 또한 고속도로가 아닌 시내주행을 위해서는 노면표식인식, 도로표지판 인식, 신호등 인식 등 해결되어야 할 문제들이 산적해 있는 상황이다.

An automatic freeway bus-only lane enforcement system was developed and assessed in a real-world environment. Observation of a bus-only lane on the Youngdong freeway, South Korea, revealed that approximately 99% of the vehicles violated the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane regulation. However, the current enforcement by the police not only exhibits a low enforcement rate, but also induces unnecessary safety and delay concerns. Since vehicles with six passengers or higher are permitted to enter freeway bus-only lanes, identifying the number of passengers in a vehicle is a core technology required for a freeway bus-only lane enforcement system. To that end, infrared cameras and the You Only Look Once (YOLOv5) deep learning algorithm were utilized. For assessment of the performance of the developed system, two environments, including a controlled test-bed and a real-world freeway, were used. As a result, the performances under the test-bed and the real-world environments exhibited 7% and 8% errors, respectively, indicating satisfactory outcomes. The developed system would contribute to an efficient freeway bus-only lane operations as well as eliminate safety and delay concerns caused by the current manual enforcement procedures.
