One of the effective countermeasures for preventing traffic accidents is to provide traffic safety warning information to drivers. Provision of warning information would lead to safer driving to avoid accident occurrence. This study investigated the effects of in-vehicle warning information on driver's behavior. A variety of warning information contents using text, sound, and pictograms were prepared for the field experiments. Individual vehicle speed and acceleration data, which represent quantitative drivers' behavior in response to in-vehicle warning information, were collected using differential global positioning systems (DGPS). Statistical analyses including ANOVA and Tukey's pairwise comparison were conducted. It is expected that the results could be invaluable for designing more effective warning information.

This paper proposes a detection system that, by determining whether a dangerous act is being carried out among other pedestrians in the images captured using CCTV, provides pre-warnings and establishes emergency measures. To determine the presence of a dangerous act, after setting zones of interest and danger zones within those zones of interest, the danger level is determined in accordance with the range of encroachment upon detecting an object. Especially, this research aims at detecting a suicide jump from the bridge and extends to detecting a dangerous act among pedestrians from detecting a dangerous act of only one person with no one in the previous research. This system classifies the status into 3 levels as safe, alert, and danger according to the amount of part being over the bridge railing. If a situation is deemed as warning-worthy and emergency, the integrated control center is immediately alerted to facilitate prevention in advance.

The forward collision of vehicles in high speed can cause a chain collisions and high fatality rate. Most of the forward collisions are caused by insufficient braking distance due to detection time of driver and safe distance. Also, accumulated detection time of driver is cause of chain collisions after the forward collision. The FVCWS prevents the forward collision by maintaining the safety distance inter-vehicle and reducing detection time of driver. However the FVCWS can cause chain collisions because the system that interacts only forward vehicle has accumulated detection time of driver. In this paper, we analyze forward and chain collisions of normal vehicles and FVCWS vehicles on static traveling scenario. And then, we analyze and compare V2V based FVCWS with them after explaining the system. The V2V FVCWS reduces detection time of driver alike FVCWS as well as remove accumulated detection time of driver by broadcasting emergence message to backward vehicles at the same time. Therefore, the system decrease possibility of forward and chain collisions. All backward normal vehicles and 3~4 backward FVCWS vehicles have possibility of forward and chain collisions in result of analysis. However V2V FVCWS vehicles almost do not chain collisions in the result.

VANET has several different characteristics from MANET such as high mobility of nodes and frequent change of node density and network topology. Due to these characteristics, the network topology based protocol, often used in MANET, can not be applied to VANET. In this paper, we propose an emergency warning message broadcast protocol using range based relay node selecting algorithm which determines the minimal waiting time spent by a given node before rebroadcasting the received warning message. Because the time is randomly calculated based on the distance between sender node and receiver node, a node chosen as a relay node is assured to have a minimal waiting time, even though it is not located at the border of radio transmission range. The proposed emergency warning message broadcast protocol has low network traffic because it does not need to exchange control messages for message broadcasting. In addition, it can reduce End-to-End delay under circumstances of low node density and short transmission range in VANET.

High-speed military aircraft shall be able to identify and resolve enemy threats or internal component defects with survival equipment and warning systems to minimize casualties. Warning system is divided into visual method with symbolic display and auditory method with communication equipment, which is superior in that they it has a short response time and does not cause pilot confusion by listening to simple messages. Thus, this paper suggested and evaluated effective design methods of voice/tone warning systems for military aircraft based on a life cycle perspective. Since military aircraft is safety-sensitive, priorities and three properties(Inhibitible, Interruptible, and Deactivatable) were applied to each warning to reflect criticality and urgency. As a result, we confirmed that it took 40ms to play the voice warnings, satisfying all requirements through V model-based development and testing, and improving product reliability.

The objective of this paper is to understand value of active safety features on the customer perspective. In this study, 30 participants who don't have experience with active safety features were recruited and asked for preference, usefulness and consideration of each active safety feature after driving evaluation by them. Through this research, the preference of active safety features were analyzed and which of active safety features were the most useful and the most considered by customer when they purchase new vehicle. As a result, adaptive cruise control and side blind zone alert were the most strongly preferred and considered features by respondents and it means that respondents wanted comfort environment while driving and seemed to value features that compensated for limited visibility. On the other hand, active safety features that warned driver without control of the vehicle was deemed generally less desirable such as lane departure warning and forward collision alert. But autonomous emergency braking was higher than the other active safety features with only warning even if they did not have experience for it while this test. They thought it will be helpful in case of front-end collision situation even they just listened description before the test.

This study presents a novel traffic information system which is capable of detecting unsafe traffic events leading to accident occurrence and providing warning information to drivers for safer driving. Unsafe traffic events are captured by a vehicle image processing-based detection system in real time. Surrogate safety measures (SSM) representing quantitative accident potentials were derived, and further utilized to develop a data processing algorithm and analysis techniques in the proposed system. This study also defined 'emergency warning area' and 'general warning area' for more effective provision of warning information. In addition, methodologies for determining thresholds to trigger warning information were presented. Technical issues and further studies to fully exploit the benefits of the proposed system were discussed. It is expected that the proposed system would be effective for better management of traffic flow to prevent traffic accidents on freeways.

Due to the recent advancements of mobile telecommunication technology and high mobile phone penetration rate, researches on emergency text alert service for enhancing the accessibility have been actively conducted. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 further accelerates the efforts for the alert services. Existing emergency text services are simple and efficient. However, unclear reception area may cause unintended alert messages frequently. In this paper, we analyze survey results regarding the 5G-based text-alert services to derive service requirements for technological advancement. Then we propose an emergency disaster text service scenario using Active Geo-Targeting that enables active disaster text reception of terminals. In addition, we newly define an interface protocol that is CIB(Control Information Block) to operate the proposed scenario.

In this paper, broadcasting contents management system which is for sharing user-created information in restricted areas is proposed. By the proposed system, the information is compulsively sent to a television set receiving broadcasting contents via various transmit media. So, user should be contacting the information while they are watching broadcasting contents.
