In this paper, lane recognition, steering control and speed control algorithms were developed using Bluetooth wireless communication and image processing techniques. Instead of recognizing road traffic signals based on image processing techniques, a methodology for recognizing the permissible road speed by receiving speed codes from electronic traffic signals using Bluetooth wireless communication was developed. In addition, a steering control algorithm based on PWM control that tracks the lanes using the Canny algorithm and Hough transform was developed. A vehicle prototype and a driving test track were developed to prove the accuracy of the developed algorithm. Raspberry Pi and Arduino were applied as main control devices for steering control and speed control, respectively. Also, Python and OpenCV were used as implementation languages. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology was confirmed by demonstrating effectiveness in the lane tracking and driving control evaluation experiments using a vehicle prototypes and a test track.

차량 안전 통신(VSC : Vehicle Safety Communication)은 차량의 각종 통신 장치들을 이용하여 교통 정보 획득과 주변 차량 사이에서 정보 교환을 통해 차량의 안전을 도모하는 기법이다. VSC 기법에서는 도로 위에서 발생할 수 있는 사고를 미리 방지하기 위해 차량 간 경고 메시지를 사용한다. 차량 간 메시지를 전송하기 위해서 브로드캐스트 전송기법을 이용하게 되는데, 이는 각 차량 간 메시지 전송을 위한 연결이 이루어지지 않았기 때문이다. 이렇게 브로드캐스트 기법을 사용하게 되면 차량은 자신이 받은 메시지를 다른 차량에게 재전송하게 되고, 또 다른 차량 역시 해당 메시지를 재전송 하게 되어 전송되는 메시지의 수도 점차 증가하게 된다. 이러한 현상을 브로드캐스트 폭풍 현상이라 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량 간에서 발생되는 브로드캐스트 폭풍 현상을 줄이기 위해 차량의 진행 방향과 속도를 이용하여 메시지의 재전송 범위를 제한함으로써 재전송 메시지를 줄이도록 하는 기법을 제안하고자 한다.

An autonomous car(driverless car, self-driving car, robotic car) is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. Autonomous cars can detect surroundings using a variety of techniques such as radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage. Autonomous cars have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to distinguish between different cars on the road, which is very useful in planning a path to the desired destination. An issue tree, also called a logic tree, is a graphical breakdown of a question that dissects it into its different components vertically and that progresses into details as it reads to the right.Issue trees are useful in problem solving to identify the root causes of a problem as well as to identify its potential solutions. They also provide a reference point to see how each piece fits into the whole picture of a problem. Using Issue-Tree menthods, transportation safety policies were developed with autonompus vehicle in mind.

텔레매틱스는 통신장치와 컴퓨터를 이용하여 경로안내 서비스, 주변정보안내, 이메일 서비스 등과 같은 다양한 서비스를 차량 사용자에게 제공하는 통합기술이다. 운전자가 차량 운행 중에 작은 장치에 데이터를 입력하거나 디스플레이된 정보를 읽는 것은 무척 위험하다. 그래서 우리는 운전자의 손은 운전대에 그리고 눈은 도로 및 주변상황을 확인할 수 있도록 하기 위해서 개방형 텔레매틱스 환경에서 음성기반의 시스템을 개발할 수 있는 시스템 구조를 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 시스템 구조를 이용하여 개방형 텔레매틱스 시스템을 위한 텔레매틱스 게이트웨이와 프레임워크를 기반으로 텔레매틱스용 음성기반 이메일 서비스를 개발하였다.

The signal intersection is the most challenging space for autonomous vehicles. To promote the safe driving of autonomous vehicles on urban roads with traffic signals, autonomous vehicles need to receive traffic signal information from infrastructure through V2I communication. Thus, a protocol for providing traffic signal information was added to the standard traffic signal controller specification of the National Police Agency. On the other hand, there are technical limitations when applying this to digital traffic signal controllers because the protocols are defined mainly for analog traffic signal controllers. Therefore, this study proposes developing a signal information linkage module to provide traffic signal information from a digital traffic signal controller to an autonomous vehicle and an algorithm improvement method that can provide accurate traffic signal information at the time of traffic signal transition.

With developing vehicle and communication technologies, cars can communicate with road-side infrastructures and among other cars. As autonomous driving cars have been developed, the cars are equipped with many sensors and powerful processing units. There are many studies related to provide cloud services to users by using available resources of connected cars. In this paper, we proposed a dynamic task size decision scheme that considers communication environment between a vehicle and a base station as well as available resources while allocating a proper task to each vehicle. Simulation results based on the proposed model show that a vehicle can complete its allocated task when we considers available resources and communication environments.

Manipulating a car navigation system while driving can lead to car accident due to loss of concentration. This will be more serious for elders or beginner drivers. Recently, a new Road Traffic Law in Korea prohibits drivers from watching or operating any video displaying devices. So the car navigation system came hard to use. In order to solve the issue we design and implement a novel system where a remote person can control the car navigation system on behalf of the driver. In the proposed system, we suggest to utilize the driver's smartphone for allowing sharing the Internet connection of the phone with the navigation system. The required smartphone application and the server will also be designed and implemented.

Recently, the development of the information-communications industry has created a new paradigm of the ubiquitous and the smart environments. An USN is a typical technology for constructing a ubiquitous environments. But the USN technologies applied in practice have a lot of problems and to solve these problems that this study was to build a test bed. For the creation of the needs of USN technology, we suggest a method and service of monitoring of road hazards combining the USN and the Geographic Information System(GIS). We conduct making the USN equipment relevant provisions surveys, making installation guidelines, construction system and real-time testing. This study is capable of the management of public facilities, real-time monitoring of accident and the environment data and is expected to be expanded to a 3D facility management combineded with BIM in the future.

In this paper, we propose an AVLS(Automatic Vehicle Location System) using the DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communication) which adopts a radio communication tool between RSE(Road-Side Equipment) and OBE(On-Board Equipment) on a vehicle and uses the ISM bandwidth of 5.8GHz radio frequency. Typical AVLS uses the sensors for detecting the vehicle, but the DSRC system is developed for supporting various services such as the position of vehicle, clearance, vehicle to vehicle communication, collection and distributions of traffic and road information. Also, for fast processing, we design three-layer configuration of physical(L1), data link(L2), and application layer(L7), which simplifies the seven-layer configuration. We suggest the proposed system as a new technology for replacement of typical wireless communication system and sensors for AVLS.

In this paper, we propose the verification platform for traffic information of TPEG. Verification platform contains the parsing module of TPEG data and the processing module of GPS data. We compared the traffic information of GPS devices with traffic information of TPEG data. As a result, traffic information from TPEG data is distinguished from actual road traffic information.
