본 논문에서 다양한 환경적 요인에서 촬영한 이미지 데이터를 활용하여 신호등 위치의 정확한 탐지 및 신호등의 색상 인식을 통해 교통 신호를 판별하는데 사용되는 컴퓨터 비전 기반의 신호등 인식 시스템 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 기존에 신호를 인식하던 LiDAR 및 RADAR 센서를 대신해 카메라를 사용함으로써 자율주행 차의 제작비용 감소를 기대할 수 있다. 또한 다양한 환경의 이미지 데이터를 통해 실험을 진행하였고 이러한 실험결과를 분석하고 적용함으로써 악천후에서의 효과적인 신호등 인식 시스템을 구축하는데 기여하고자 한다.

Pedestrians are exposed to accidents as a result of the lack of understanding the meaning of a flashing green signal. This study was to designed to relate changes of pedestrians' crossing characteristics as a functions of flashing green signal timings. A field survey was conducted to collect pedestrian preference and safety and it was examined by signal operation experiment. Two versions of new pedestrian signal timings were compared to the existing pedestrian signal timings. The results indicated that the number of pedestrians who starts to cross during flashing green signals was significantly decreased when flashing green signals started at 1/2 or 2/3 point of crossing. However, the number of pedestrians who remain in the crossing during red signals was significantly increased when flashing green signals started at 2/3 point of crossing. This study concludes that starting flashing green signals at 1/2 point of crossing is the safest. Also, implication and directions for its practical relevance were discussed.

기존 신호등은 보행자를 위한 별도의 안전장치가 없다. 이는 어린아이는 물론 성인들까지 차량의 위협으로부터 안전을 보장받을 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 어린이보호구역에서 사고 발생률을 감소시키는 것을 전제로 아두이노 액추에이터와 스위치를 이용한 전자제어 신호등을 적용하고자 한다. 현재의 신호등 시스템은 단순히 시간의 흐름에 따라 보행자 신호등과 차량용 신호등의 led가 자동으로 변화하여 차량과 보행자를 통제한다. 이러한 시스템은 어린아이들의 돌발행동과 운전자의 미숙한 작동으로 인한 사고를 방지하지 못한다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 기존의 신호등 시스템 대신 스위치와 액추에이터, 초음파 센서, 블루투스 모듈을 적용한 어린이용 보호 전자제어 신호등 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 신호등 시스템과는 다르게 보행자의 직접적인 개입을 통해 시스템을 제어하고, 원활한 교통환경을 만들 수 있다.

In this paper, An Ultra Fast Acquisition Algorithm of low transmission rate ultra-wideband(UWB) systems for car positioning and traffic light controling is proposed. Since the acquisition algorithms for CDMA system are not fast enough to access the low transmission rate UWB systems, the new ultra fast acquisition scheme which can be implemented with low cost and simplified circuit is required. The proposed algorithm adopted the Recurrent Sequential Estimation scheme and trinomial M-sequence. Therefore, The proposed scheme can reduce the average acquisition time in $1\~3{\mu}sec$ with simple circuit, even for the UWB systems which use long pseudo-noise(PN) sequence and transmit low power below the FCC EIRP emission limits. The simulation results for the average acquisition time of the proposed scheme are compared with the ones of the existing acquisition schemes.

This study aims to suggest a reasonable signal operation method for right-turn traffic management. It was found that the right-turn vehicle supplementary signal is currently operated without clear regulations or criteria. It was also analyzed that right-turn supplementary signals are used without consistency, there is a risk of traffic accidents due to the discordance between supplementary signals and traffic signals of forward vehicles, there is a lack of basis for prohibition of a right turn when right-turn vehicle's supplementary signal is red and the flashing red signal is used in a different sense from the law. In order to see the effect of the installed right-turn vehicle supplementary signals on traffic signal violation, a field investigation was conducted. As the result, there was a high proportion of signal violation on the approach lane with right-turn supplementary signals and this means that right-turn supplementary signals hardly influenced the reduction in proportion of signal violation during a right turn. Additionally, a survey was carried out to see if there were differences in driver's interpretation of traffic signals depending on the installation of right-turn supplementary signals. As the result of the survey, there were no differences in interpretation of traffic signals depending on the installation of right-turn supplementary signals or the types of right-turn supplementary signals. A right turn when the signal was red did not lead to serious traffic accidents, so it is thought that there should be a careful consideration of a total ban on a right turn when the signal is red, in order to prevent driver's confusion due to the change of the signal system. Unless there is a disturbance to cars and pedestrians after a temporary stop when the signal is red, there is a need to specify that vehicles must stop temporarily in the Road Traffic Act to facilitate a right turn. What this study finally suggested is to use tri-colored arrow signals for right-turn car supplementary signals to convey a signal to a driver clearly.

LED교통신호등은 기존 전구식 신호등과 달리 필라맨트 발열부가 없고, 전구식에 사용하는 착색렌즈 사용이 없어 이에 따른 빛 손실이 매우 적으며, 전구식 신호등에 비해 90% 정도의 전력이 절약된다. 또 특정 파장대의 단색광을 발광하며, 소자의 특성상 전원 공급과 동시에 빛을 발광한다. 그러면서 긴 수명으로 인하여 유지보수비용의 절감이 이루어지고, 구조적으로 매우 견고한 특성을 가지고 있다. (중략)

This study preformed a research about the traffic signal light that is adding supplementary green light to prevent driver's cognitive errors and plan safe driving through improving visual cognitivity of present traffic signal light. The result of comparing the present traffic signal light(three colors, four colors) with the traffic signal light(three colors, four colors) adding supplementary green light through car simulator has a significant difference. This result shows possibility that the traffic signal light adding supplementary green light can contribute in safety driving at a point that the traffic signal light advances a point of braking time when drivers didn't recognize by themselves. The findings in this study ca say that there is the meaning in showing a actual application possibility of this study finding by investigating a action of subjective response the moment compare driver's actual response.
