A new urban paradigm that moves from a vehicle-centric to pedestrian-centric culture should be considered to improve the quality of the pedestrian environments for women, children, senior citizens, and disabled persons as well as to promote community unification by providing general movement rights to everyone. This study was implemented to provide decent alternatives to improve street spaces. The street spaces around the Commercial and Residential Area No.1 located in the Administrative-Centered City, Sejong Special Autonomic City, were selected to analyze and define the status of the walkways and the street spaces. Satellite imagery and numerical maps were used to collect geographic data. Practical and actual surveys for the selected sites were performed to analyze the street status and the pedestrian status. Based on the all collected data, analysis results, and literature reviews, the questionnaire was made, and 315 inquiries qualified for analysis. The physical status of all four study sites was the highest level, Grade A, and green open spaces were relatively sufficient. As a result, the factors obtained from the factor analysis have an impact on the satisfaction of the pedestrian streets in the commercial area. The factors are as followed Design > Convenience > Roadside trees and rest areas > Safety > Safety protective facilities > Transportation and information facilities > Continuity > Basic state of road surfaces > Comfortability, and in the residential area: Transportation and information facilities > Basic state of road surfaces > Comfort > Convenience > Continuity > Design > Illumination and crime prevention facilities > Safety > Roadside trees and rest areas.

IHRA Pedestrian Working Group has investigated and analyzed the current status of pedestrian-vehicle accidents in IHRA member countries. According to the results, European countries and Japan are working on new regulations to improve passive pedestrian protection on passenger cars significantly. Although IHRA proposed pedestrian test procedures, which may provide a basis of technical regulations in the future, further research and development are necessary to refine the procedures. In order to prepare and satisfy the pedestrian protection requirements, domestic passenger vehicles also should be tested. Among various safety-related studies based on accident data analysis, dealing with pedestrian head injury would be considered one of the keen interests. In this study, the pedestrian headform impact test system is developed. The developed system will be useful to carry out validation study of the test procedures through actual tests using sample vehicles, and to explore the car feasibility level prior to the use of the test methods in legislation.

u-TSN is a promising technology facilitating road safety and traffic management for drivers and passengers. To deploy this technology in a real environment, personal information and communicated data should be protected against malicious adversaries. Even though such adversaries would appear relatively infrequently, in such cases, the benefits of u-TSN could be disrupted and disabled. Therefore, one of the ultimate goals in the design of secure u-TSN is to protect against attacks of malicious adversaries. In this paper, we present secure communication scenario for u-TSN and implement security protocols and algorithms that are the components of the scenario on an IXP425 board. The security systems, implemented as a security module, supports secure and efficient communication for the u-TSN.

In order to prevent traffic accidents for children who are vulnerable to traffic around elementary schools, a school zone in the children's protection zone is designated, and parking and stopping are prohibited in this area as the vehicle speed is less than 30km/h. However, Korea has a disgrace that the death rate of children from traffic accidents is the No. 1 among OECD countries. Against this backdrop, this study aims to contribute to preventing traffic accidents and raising awareness of driver safety by establishing an illegal parking and stopping system in the child protection zone due to various road conditions in the child protection zone. As a research method, a plan to build a parking and stopping prevention system was presented based on major preceding studies and literature investigation and analysis. Through the construction plan, effects such as preventing traffic accidents, inducing smart drivers to drive safely, strengthening pedestrian safety awareness, and inducing driver's awareness of safety can be expected.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of vehicles, the physical and human losses caused by traffic accidents have become serious social problems. In the global trend, there have been active studies conducted on improving safety level of automobile in order to reduce the number of automobile accident. As a result of such research, traffic accidents continue to decline. In the case of South Korea, however, rate of death by automobile accident is 8.5 per 10,000 people and it is a seven rank among the countries in OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). This average rate is almost double compared to average automobile accident rate per 10,000 vehicles, of other OECD countries in 2015. Consequently, many studies and policies currently have been conducted and made for increasing safety of pedestrians; however, they are only emphasizing characteristics of pedestrians and drivers. For this reason, this study suggests scenarios for establishment of test standard corresponding with domestic environment and international standard of AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) and conducts a real car test by scenarios by setting up a goal with a function for remaining distance after braking and then examine equation by comparing real car tests results and outcome after calculation. This is a theoretical method to predict a relative remaining distance after AEB prior to conducting a real car test for evaluation of safeness of automobile with AEB and it is expected that it solves problem of complication of real car test.

Efforts are being made to prevent traffic accidents in the school zone in advance. However, traffic accidents in school zones continue to occur. If the driver can know the situation information in the child protection area in advance, accidents can be reduced. In this paper, we design a camera that eliminates blind spots in school zones and a number recognition camera system that can collect pre-traffic information. It is designed by improving the LIDAR system that recognizes vehicle speed and pedestrians. It collects and processes pedestrian and vehicle image information recognized by cameras and LIDAR, and applies artificial intelligence time series analysis and artificial intelligence algorithms. The artificial intelligence traffic accident prevention system learned by deep learning proposed in this paper provides a forced push service that delivers school zone information to the driver to the mobile device in the vehicle before entering the school zone. In addition, school zone traffic information is provided as an alarm on the LED signboard.

In this paper, a detection method of a pedestrian safety road marking was proposed. The proposed algorithm uses laser range and reflectivity of a range finder (LRF). For a detection of crosswalk marking and stop line, the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) of reflectivity and cross-correlation method between the reference replica and the measured reflectivity are used. A speed bump is detected through measuring an altitude difference of two LRFs which have the different tilted angle. Furthermore, we proposed a velocity constrained a detection method of a speed bump. Finally, the proposed methods are tested in on-line, on the pavement of a road. The considered road markings are wholly detected. The localization errors of both road markings are smaller than 0.4 meter.

탈거리의 발달은 급기야 전 세계를 하루 생활권으로 만들었다. 비행기, 기차, 자동차, 선박 같은 교통수단의 발달은 이른바 글로벌시대를 열어 전 세계가 하나의 가족이 되어 가는데 가장 큰 역할을 했고, 특히 자동차는 사람이나 화물을 운송하는 주요 수단으로서 현대인들에게 의식주 못지않게 중요한 필수품이 되었으며, 전 세계적으로 그 수요가 급속히 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 자동차는 시간과 공간을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있게 하는 등 많은 이익을 주는 반면 교통사고 및 교통체증에 의한 인적, 물적, 경제적 손실 등과 같은 많은 사회적 문제들을 유발시키고 있는 것도 사실이다. 일반적으로 교통사고는 인간적, 차량적, 도로적 요인 등 개개별 요인과 이들의 교호작용에 의해서 발생하기 때문에 차량의 안전운행을 위한 대책은 이들 요인들의 종합적인 분석을 통하여 해결할 수 있다. 이에 따라 운전자와 보행자를 동시에 보호할 수 있고, 운행 시 운전자의 편의를 제공할 수 있는 차량안전시스템 및 이를 위한 제어기술, 정보통신기술, ITS기술, 차량동역학기술 및 차체설계기술 등이 개발 되고 있고, 과거 자동차에서는 볼 수 없었던 시트벨트, 에어백, 범퍼, 차체충격흡수장치, 도어 임팩트 빔 등이 개발되어 교통사고 시 피해를 극소화하는데 기여하고 있다.

Purpose: In general, traffic accidents occur sporadically, so there are various limitations in terms of time and cost when conducting field investigations to prepare prevention and prevention measures. In particular, with the transition to a non-face-to-face society after the COVID-19, there is a greater need to prepare a replacement for field surveys. Therefore, in this study, Roadview provided by various websites was used as an alternative to field surveys in Sasang-gu, Busan City. The possibility was evaluated. Method: The research method was to extract vulnerable points for traffic accidents that occurred between 2016 and 22 and analyze road views based on the field survey evaluation items provided in the Traffic Safety Diagnosis Guidelines. Result: The main result was that Sasang-gu was most vulnerable to accidents involving elderly pedestrians at Sasang-ro, Daedong-ro, and Hakjang-ro. As a result of a detailed analysis of vulnerable points through Road View, Sasang-ro needed control of commercial vehicles and protection of the transportation vulnerable in the market commercial area. Daedong-ro was vulnerable to illegal on-street parking and slope merging sections, and Hakjang-ro was vulnerable to roads that were prone to speeding. When evaluating the possibility of replacing Roadview's field survey based on the results of this analysis, Roadview was able to effectively evaluate most items, such as separation of sidewalks and the location and spacing of safety facilities. However, there were limitations in items such as actual measurement performance. Conclusion: In other words, the road view can replace most field surveys, and the actual measurement evaluation items can be judged to be useful as auxiliary data, resulting in time and cost savings and high efficiency.
