Recently, the casualties of automobile traffic accidents are rapidly increasing, and serious accidents involving serious injury and death are increasing more than those of ordinary people. More than 70% of major accidents occur in drowsy driving. Therefore, in this paper, we studied the drowsiness prevention system to prevent large-scale disasters of traffic accidents. In this paper, we propose a real-time flicker recognition method for drowsy driving detection system and drowsy recognition according to the increase of carbon dioxide. The drowsy driving detection system applied the existing image detection and the deep running, and the carbon dioxide detection was developed based on the IoT. The drowsy prevention system using both of these techniques improved the accuracy compared to the existing products.

The advancement of technology for image processing and communications makes it possible for current traffic signal controllers and vehicle detection technology to make both emergency vehicle preemption and transit priority strategies as a part of integrated system. Present]y traffic signal control in crosswalk is controlled by fixed signals. The signal control keeps regular signals traffic even with no traffic, when there is traffic, should wait until the signal is given. Waiting time causes the risk of traffic accidents and traffic congestion in accordance with signal violation. To help reduce the risk of accidents and congestion, this paper explains traffic signal control system for the adaptive priority order so that signal may be preferentially given in accordance with the situation of site through the object detect images.

교통사고의 원인 중 90%는 졸음운전과 같은 운전자의 부주의 때문에 발생하고 있다. 정부에서도 사고로 인한 인명피해 심각성을 인지하고 2019년부터 전방충돌방지 시스템과 차선이탈 경고 장치 등 ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)를 의무적으로 적용하도록 규제를 강화하는 추세이다. 충돌사고를 예방하기 위해 본 논문에서는 영상처리를 기반으로 하여 객체 검출, 차간거리 측정, 후미등 검출, 차선 검출 기능을 적용하여 위험한 상황을 감지하고 운전자에게 경고 알림을 제공하는 System을 개발한다. 더 나아가 다양한 모빌리티 서비스에 이를 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제공한다.

The Korea Highway Traffic Authority provides statistics that analyze the causes of traffic accidents that occurred since 2015 using the Traffic Accident Analysis System (TAAS). it was reported Through TAAS that the driver's forward carelessness was the main cause of traffic accidents in 2018. As statistics on the cause of traffic accidents, 51.2 percent used mobile phones and watched DMB while driving, 14 percent did not secure safe distance, and 3.6 percent violated their duty to protect pedestrians, representing a total of 68.8 percent. In this paper, we propose a system that has improved the advanced driver assistance system ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) by utilizing CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) among the algorithms of Deep Learning. The proposed system learns a model that classifies the movement of the driver's face and eyes using Conv2D techniques which are mainly used for Image processing, while recognizing and detecting objects around the vehicle with cameras attached to the front of the vehicle to recognize the driving environment. Then, using the learned visual steering model and driving environment data, the hazard is classified and detected in three stages, depending on the driver's view and driving environment to assist the driver with the forward and blind spots.

안전 거리 미확보는 교통 사고 원인 중 3위에 이르는 큰 위험 요소이다. 이러한 차간거리 미확보로 인한 사고는 조금만 빨리 대응하여도 사전에 방지할 수 있다. 따라서 주행 중 실시간으로 차간 거리를 추정하여 제공하는 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 기반의 실시간 촬영 영상에서 차량의 에지와 후미등을 이용하여 차량을 검출하고, 검출된 차량의 폭을 이용하여 차간 거리를 추정하여 제공하는 시스템을 제안하고, 구현 결과를 제시한다.

Moving assistant devices for people who are difficult to move are becoming electric-powered and automated. These moving assistant devices are not suitable for moving stairs at which the height between floor surfaces is different because these devices are designed and manufactured for flatland moving. An electric-powered and automated moving assistant device should change direction or stop when it approaches stairs in a movement direction. If the user or automatic control system does not change direction or stop in time, a moving assistant device can roll over or collide with stairs. In this paper, we propose a stairs detection method by using oblique distance measured by one sensor tilted to flatland. The method proposed in this paper can detect upward or downward stairs by using a difference between a predicted and measured oblique distance in considering a tilted angle of a sensor for measuring an oblique distance and installation height of the sensor on a moving object. Before the device enters a stairs region, if our proposed method provides information about detected stairs to a device's controller, the controller can do adequate action to avoid the accident.

A vehicle tracking system makes it possible to induce the vehicle movement path for avoiding traffic congestion and to prevent traffic accidents in advance by recognizing traffic flow, monitoring vehicles, and detecting road accidents. To track the vehicles effectively, those which appear in a sequence of video frames need to identified by extracting the features of each object in the frames. Next, the identical vehicles over the continuous frames need to be recognized through the matching among the objects' feature values. In this paper, we identify objects by binarizing the difference image between a target and a referential image, and the labelling technique. As feature values, we use the center coordinate of the minimum bounding rectangle(MBR) of the identified object and the averages of 1D FFT(fast Fourier transform) coefficients with respect to the horizontal and vertical direction of the MBR. A vehicle is tracked in such a way that the pair of objects that have the highest similarity among objects in two continuous images are regarded as an identical object. The experimental result shows that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods that use geometrical features in tracking accuracy.

The death rate of pedestrians in car accidents in Korea is about 2.5 times higher than the average of OECD countries'. If a system that can detect pedestrians and send alarm to driver is built and reduces the rate, it is worth developing such a pedestrian detection system (PDS). Since the accident rate in which pedestrians are involved is higher at nighttime than in daytime, the adoption of nighttime PDS is being standardized by big auto companies. However, they are usually using expensive night visions or multiple sensors for their PDS. In this paper we propose a method for nighttime PDS using a monochrome visible spectrum camera. We could verify its superiority in both performance and real?time operation to existing algorithm through tests against video data taken in several different environments.

고령화로 인해 65세 이상 운전자가 급증하며 고령운전자의 교통사고 비율이 증가함에 따라 시급한 사회 문제로 떠오르고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 객체 검출, 인식 모델을 결합하고 신호등을 인식하여 Text-To-Speech(TTS)로 알리는 쿠버네티스 기반의 프레임워크를 제안한다. 객체 검출 단계에서는 YOLOv5 모델들의 성능을 비교하여 활용하였으며 객체 인식 단계에서는 C-RNN 기반의 attention-OCR 모델을 활용하였다. 이는 신호등의 내부 LED 영역이 아닌 이미지 전체를 인식하는 방식으로 오탐지 요소를 낮춰 인식률을 높였다. 결과적으로 1,628장의 테스트 데이터에서 accuracy 0.997, F1-score 0.991의 성능 평가를 얻어 제안한 프레임워크의 타당성을 입증하였다. 본 연구는 후속 연구에서 특정 도메인에 딥러닝 모델을 한정하지 않고 다양한 분야의 모델을 접목할 수 있도록 하며 고령 운전자 및 신호 위반으로 인한 교통사고 문제를 예방할 수 있다.

Regarding the research on lane recognition, continuous studies have been in progress for vehicles to navigate autonomously and to prevent traffic accidents, and lane recognition and detection have remarkably developed as different algorithms have appeared recently. Those studies were based on vision system and the recognition rate was improved. However, in case of driving at night or in rain, the recognition rate has not met the level at which it is satisfactory. Improving the weakness of the vision system-based lane recognition and detection, applying sensor convergence technology for the response after accident happened, among studies on lane detection, the study on the curve road detection was conducted. It proceeded to study on the curve road detection among studies on the lane recognition. In terms of the road detection, not only a straight road but also a curve road should be detected and it can be used in investigation on traffic accidents. Setting the threshold value of curvature from 0.001 to 0.06 showing the degree of the curve, it presented that it is able to compute the curve road.
