최근 영상 내에서 보행자를 검출하는 기술이 발전하면서 보행자 검출 기술이 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 영상 내에서 보행자들을 검출함으로써 보행자의 통행량이나 이동경로를 분석할 수 있고, 위험 지역이나 보안 지역에 진입하려는 보행자에게 경고를 줄 수도 있다. CCTV와 같이 고정된 카메라를 이용하여 촬영된 영상의 경우 배경 분리 기술을 적용할 수 있는데, 배경 분리 기술을 통해 영상 내에서 움직이는 물체의 영역을 검출해 낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 배경 분리 결과를 이용하여 보행자 검출의 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 영상 내에서 보행자를 검출 했을 때, 보행자 외에 다른 영역이 보행자로 검출되는 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 이로 인해 보행자 검출의 정확도가 낮아진다. 하지만 배경 분리 결과를 이용하여 전경 부분에서만 보행자가 검출되도록 하고 배경 부분에서는 보행자가 검출되지 않도록 한다면, 보행자가 아닌 영역이 보행자로 검출되는 현상을 막을 수 있다. 실제 HDA Person Dataset에서 실험을 해본 결과, 정량적인 성능 향상을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper analyzed an existing literature review of street environment, density, accessibility, and diversity in terms of not the street level, but also the urban context level. In addition, this paper examined Jane Jacobs' theory (1961) regarding the relevance between the diversity of facilities and increasing volume of pedestrians. To find the explanation ability and significance among variables, this paper employed Enter's method of Regression Analysis in the industrial classification of restaurant business and liquor business. This empirical analysis of both theories of Jacobs (1961) and MacCormac (1983) had a different signification from existing research. Jacobs (1961) suggested the relevance among various facilities for increasing the volume of pedestrians, and MacCormac (1983) explained the different impact by industrial classification. In future research, the subdividing of industrial classification is necessary for a more precise and specific analysis.

The objective of this study is to develop the design criteria of traffic island considering pedestrian level of service (LOS). In pursuing the above, this study gives particular emphasis to suggesting the minimum design space of traffic island in order to maintain pedestrian LOS C and D, and the critical pedestrian traffic volume that reflects the intersection geometry (2 lanes per direction) through the simulation analysis. The main results are as follows. First, the spaces of 160 traffic islands, which meet the pedestrian LOS C and D and reflects the pedestrian traffic volume by signal cycle, are drawn by using a commercial simulator VISSIM. The relevant spaces of traffic island in terms of both the pedestrian LOS and the pedestrian traffic volume are evaluated to range from $3.0m^2$ to $41m^2$. Second, the critical pedestrian traffic volume for the operation of traffic island is evaluated to be 1,000-1,300 person/hour at LOS C and 1,600-1,800 person/hour at LOS D, respectively, when a cycle of 120-150 seconds were applied to a intersection with two lanes per direction.

회전(turning)은 보행 중 방향을 바꾸는 운동 기술(motor skill)이고, 회전 전략(turning strategy)은 회전을 완수하는데 사용되는 일반적 행동 전형(generalized movement pattern)이다. 회전에 대한 보행속도의 영향은 분명하지 않다. 이 연구의 목적은 보행속도의 돌기 전략에 대한 영향을 분석하고 보행속도의 하지 내외 회전(internal and external rotation)에 대한 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 건강한 젊은 성인 15명이 이 연구에 자발적으로 참여하였다. 맥리플렉스 측정 장치(MacReflex measurement system)가 동작 분석(motion analysis)을 위해 사용되었다. 각각의 자원자들은 보행 중 90도 왼쪽으로 회전을 10회씩 완수하였다. 각각의 시도마다 보행속도를 다르게 하기 위해서 세 가지의 다른 요구들(slow, regular, fast)이 임의적으로 주어졌고 각각의 실제 보행속도가 자원자의 무게중심 변화에 따라 구해졌고 요구별 평균이 구해졌다. 회전 안쪽 발의 스핀(in side foot spin)은 보행속도가 증가함에 따라 증가했지만, 회전 바깥쪽 발의 스핀(out side foot spin)은 보행속도와 상관이 없었다. 하지의 내외 회전은 보행속도와는 상관이 없었지만, 같은쪽 발의 스핀과는 역관계가 있었다. 회전은 발 스핀이 있는 돌기와 발 스핀이 없는 돌기로 구분되는 것이 합당한 듯 하다. 제한된 시간과 공간 내에서 스핀은 보행속도가 빨라질수록 몸의 전방 운동량(forward momentum)에서 몸의 전방 운동량(forward momentum)으로의 전환이 스핀이 없는 회전 시보다 효율적이다. 고관절의 내외 회전 근육들은 회전전략에 상관없이 회전되는 동안 몸의 역학(body mechanics)을 조절하는데 중요한 역할을 맡고 있는 것으로 보인다. 앞으로 회전 시 몸의 생체 역학적 그리고 신경 근육적 기전들(biomechanical and neuromuscular mechanisms)을 밝히는 연구들이 필요하다.

Exercise such as walking is helpful to manage one's own weight and to counter life habit diseases such as obesity. Calorie consumption is usually calculated based on the distance walked. One way to measure the distance is by using steps and stride length. Most pedometers, including some applications in smart devices, are inaccurate, because they use a common value as the average stride length, even though each person has a different stride length. Moreover, the stride length differs depending on the walking pace, which will further increase the error. To address this, in this paper, I classify paces into three categories. Following that, I introduce a customized measurement of stride length, which is calculated based on the stride length corresponding to each pace category after obtaining x, y, z values from a 3-axis accelerometer in the smart device. In addition to this, I developed an application running on the smart device designed for the proposed measurement of stride. I have conducted three experiments for the assessment of the proposed measurement. In conclusion, I confirmed the effectiveness of this system.

The research for a 3-axial accelerometer sensor has increased dramatically in the fields of cellular phone, PDA, etc. In this paper, we develop a human walking detection algorithm using 3-axial accelerometer sensor and a user interface system to show the activity expenditure in real-time. To measure a walking number more correctly in a variety of walking activities including walking, walking in place, running, slow walking, we propose a new walking number detection algorithm using adaptive threshold value. In addition, we calculate the activity expenditure base on counted walking number and display calculated activity expenditure on UI in real-time. From the experimental results, we could obtain that the detection rate of proposal algorithm is higher than that of existing algorithm using a fixed threshold value about $5{\sim}10%$. Especially, it could be found out high detection rate in walking in place.

신호교차로에서 맨 우측차로의 대부분이 우회전 공용차로로 사용되는데 도로용량편람에서 우회전이 불가능한 보행자 횡단시간 비율$(f_c)$은 공용차로의 용량을 결정하는 우회전보정계수$(f_{RT})$의 산정시 중요한 요소가 된다. 그러나 이에 대한 국내의 연구는 미미하여 연구의 필요성이 있다고 생각된다. 본 연구는 유입부의 직진신호시간을 위주로 교차방향 횡단보도 내의 보행자수와 우회전차량의 통과여부를 촬영하여 분석하는 방법으로 진행되었으며, 우회전 차량이 교차도로의 보행자 횡단시간에 보행자와의 상충으로 우회전하지 못하는 시간 비율을 산정함에 있어서 횡단보도의 보행자수에 따라 우회전 차량의 통과율을 구하고 이로부터 횡단보도 보행신호시간동안에 우회전이 불가능한 시간비율을 산정했다. 연구결과는 우회전이 불가능한 시간비율이 시간당 보행자수(양방향)가 500인/시~1,500인/시로 변할 때 0.78에서 0.94사이의 값을 가지며 한국도로용량편람에서 제시한 값 0.3에서 0.9보다는 대체로 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국용량편람에서 얻은 우회전차로의 용량은 과대 평가되는 경향이 있다.

This study has proposed the signal operating system to use both semi-actuated signal control and pedestrian push-button as a way to make up for the problems of 3 leg intersections which are operated inefficiently in the signal operation, one of the methods of traffic operations. In case of the semi-actuated signal control, it can reduce delay inside the intersection by serving to uncongested traffic on the main road where there is not much traffic volume on the secondary road and push-button signal can reduce unnecessary waiting time it could happen to vehicles by operating it though there is no pedestrian. Quantitative analysis was tried regarding the average delay reduction per vehicle using VISSIM, microscopic simulation program regarding how much effect it has compared with the existing signal control system and semi-actuated signal control system when the above two advantages are collected. The field test was performed for one three-leg intersection of Incheon. According to respectively signal control method pedestrian traffic changed and executed a sensitivity analysis. The result which compares the average delay time per a vehicle of scenarios, the signal control method of using the pedestrian push-button system in comparison with the fixed signal control method showed to decrease effect of a minimum 3.7 second (10%), a maximum 5.8 second (16%). When the pedestrian traffic volume was 20% or less of the measurement traffic volume, The signal control method of using the pedestrian push-button system appeared to be more efficient the semi-actuated signal control with object intersection.

Traffic islands were introduced for drivers and pedestrians to use the road in a safe and orderly way and were also a specified zone between traffic lanes to divide conflicting traffic flows and to provide pedestrian refuge. However, existing research and relevant standards described its purpose and effects only but not a safety standard to decide whether the traffic island warranted. This study was to introduce a parameter which had a high relationship with accidents by analyzing road and traffic conditions and traffic accident data at urban intersections. Based on the relationship between the parameter and the traffic accidents at the intersection, a pedestrian accident probability model was made by using a logit model. In addition, the study reviewed a pedestrian accident probability corresponding to traffic volume and size of the intersection during design of the intersection and then suggested the effectiveness of the traffic island in terms of traffic safety. In conclusion, when a large-scale intersection has significant traffic volumes, a high probability of traffic island-induced pedestrian accidents appears, while in the case of small volumes, the probability is low. Targeted design and operations of a traffic islands is necessary, because its introduction itself does not enhance pedestrian safety in all cases at all intersections. This study can be a useful reference for further development to set up a scheme of the traffic islands in terms of traffic safety.
