Despite the continuous efforts to mitigate pedestrian accidents at crosswalks, the problem persist. Vulnerable groups, including the elderly and disabled individuals are at a risk of being involved in traffic incidents. This paper proposes the implementation of object detection algorithm using the YOLO v5 model specifically for pedestrians using assistive devices like wheelchairs and crutches. For this research, data was collected and utilized through image crawling, Roboflow, and Mobility Aids datasets, which comprise of wheelchair users, crutch users, and pedestrians. Data augmentation techniques were applied to improve the model's generalization performance. Additionally, ensemble techniques were utilized to mitigate type 2 errors, resulting in 96% recall rate. This demonstrates that employing ensemble methods with a single YOLO model to target transportation-disadvantaged individuals can yield accurate detection performance without overlooking crucial objects.

Recently, due to THE MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT FOR THE MOBILITY IMPAIRED ACT, local governments have tired to make various efforts on special transport services(STS), low-flow bus, and installing elevator in subway stations for handicapped people. But in case of STS, insufficient numbers of taxi are raised against the increasing demand of hadicapped people due to the limited budget. This study investigated actual use condition of STS and characteristics of selection of handicapped people on Duribal. In addition, an ordered-logistic model was employed for developing taxi use prediction model considering taxi fare discounts for diverting Duribal demands to taxies. The results can be a significant basic data for transportation policies to improve travel efficiency of the handicapped.

저시력자와 노약자와 같은 교통약자들이 실시간으로 버스 번호를 인식할 수 있도록 딥러닝 모델(MobileNet, SSD)을 활용한 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 MobileNet과 SSD 모델을 적용하여 모바일 환경에서도 실시간 객체 인식이 가능하며, 사용자는 인식된 정보를 음성으로 안내받는다. 성능 테스트에서 80% 이상의 인식 정확도를 기록했으며, 교통약자 대상 사용자 테스트 결과 긍정적인 피드백을 얻었다.

Urban Designers and Planners are interested in creating barrier-free (BF) environments as the demand for social equity increases. BF design consists of design strategies for modifying buildings or facilities to be used by the physically disadvantaged or disabled. To construct buildings or facilities to be "Barrier-free", design standards specifically modified for the physically disadvantaged or disabled should be applied. The purpose of this study is to analyze the BF design standard used in the national laws and provide suggestions for their future improvements. In the study national laws in four countries were reviewed and important BF standards to be used in the laws were identified using a frequency analysis. The results of the frequency analysis were applied to the BF assessment criteria for sidewalk design. Then a field assessment for two sidewalks located in Seoul metropolitan region was conducted using the refined BF criteria. The findings from the field assessments indicated that current regulations were not appropriately designed to provide sufficient convenience for the disabled. It is needed to enhance the BF standards in the domestic regulations to offer sufficient mobility to the physically disadvantaged or disabled.

Recently, personal mobility has been spreading and using increasing, but the pedestrian environment is getting worse and accidents are also rapidly increasing. Therefore, this study conducts a status survey related to the elements of pedestrian disturbances in personal mobility and identifies the problems. The following measures are presented to improve the pedestrian environment for the mobility handicapped through expert opinion surveys. The movement of individual mobility means in the walking space is prohibited, and the speed limit shall be stipulated to enable the mobility handicapped to walk safely and conveniently. Parking spaces will have to create obstacle zones in the parking area next to the roadway or at the border of sidewalks and roads, and regulations are needed to collect illegally parked vehicles. It is necessary to switch from the existing automobile-oriented road to the road structure considering the use of low and medium-speed vehicles.

최근 차량과 플랫폼 사이의 공간에 휠체어의 바퀴 또는 승객의 발이 빠지는 등의 안전사고가 보고되고 있어 교통약자의 이동을 제한하는 요소로 작용함에 따라 차량과 플랫폼 사이 공간을 메우는 안전스텝을 개발하게 되었다. 안전스텝으로 기존 플랫폼에 설치하는 고무타입은 고정식 고무발판을 미리 설치해 두어 차량과 플랫폼의 간격을 미리 줄이는 방식이나 직선, 곡선 형태의 각각의 역사가 가지는 조건에 유연하게 대응하고, 차량의 승객수와 플랫폼의 조건에 따라 달라지는 승하차 높이에 유연하게 대응하고자 차량에 설치하는 방식을 개발하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 개발한 안전스텝의 구성 및 기능을 설명하고 논하고자 한다.
