기존 신호등은 보행자를 위한 별도의 안전장치가 없다. 이는 어린아이는 물론 성인들까지 차량의 위협으로부터 안전을 보장받을 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 어린이보호구역에서 사고 발생률을 감소시키는 것을 전제로 아두이노 액추에이터와 스위치를 이용한 전자제어 신호등을 적용하고자 한다. 현재의 신호등 시스템은 단순히 시간의 흐름에 따라 보행자 신호등과 차량용 신호등의 led가 자동으로 변화하여 차량과 보행자를 통제한다. 이러한 시스템은 어린아이들의 돌발행동과 운전자의 미숙한 작동으로 인한 사고를 방지하지 못한다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 기존의 신호등 시스템 대신 스위치와 액추에이터, 초음파 센서, 블루투스 모듈을 적용한 어린이용 보호 전자제어 신호등 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 신호등 시스템과는 다르게 보행자의 직접적인 개입을 통해 시스템을 제어하고, 원활한 교통환경을 만들 수 있다.

This study is on pedestrian protection device using pneumatic cylinder and simple link mechanism when vehicle collide with pedestrian. This study ensured the safety space between engine and hood after it applies to simple link mechanism and pneumatic cylinder. It can absorb the damage which measure the specific device if vehicle collide with pedestrian. Combination of simple link mechanism and pneumatic cylinder was more superior than the present pedestrian protection device. Simple link mechanism could confirm superior height and survival probability than when only cylinder operated. It also ensured enough space between engine and hood. And if a cylinder is not working because of old cylinder, poor repair or damage of accident vertical cylinder would be difficult to execute because there exists the irregular space between engine and hood. If simple link mechanism operates with only one cylinder it could ensure the regular space because simple link mechanism set up at the middle of hood. So this device could confirm high safety for pedestrian.

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.

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.

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.

The aim of this study is to protect workers and pedestrians from accidents at night or bad weather by attaching optical fiber to existing safety clothing that is made only with fluorescent fabrics and retroreflective materials. A safety vest was designed and manufactured by applying optical fiber, and energy-harvesting technology was developed. The safety vest was designed to emit light using the automatic flashing of optical fibers attached to the film, and an energy harvester was manufactured and attached to drive the light emission of the optical fiber more continuously. As a result, first, the vest wearer' body was recognized from a distance through the optical fiber and retroreflection, which helped prevent accidents. Thus, this concept helps in saving lives by preventing accidents during night-time work on the roadside or activities of rescue crew and sports activities, or by quickly finding the point of an accident with a signal that changes the optical fiber light emission. Second, to use the wasted energy, a piezoelectric-element power generation system was developed and the piezoelectric-harvesting device was mounted. Potentially, energy was efficiently produced by activating the effective charging amount of the battery part and charging it auxiliary. In the existing safety vest, detecting the person wearing the vest is almost impossible in the absence of ambient light. However, in this study, the wearer could be found within 100 m by the light emission from the safety vest even with no ambient light. Therefore, in this study, we will help in preventing and reducing accidents by developing smart safety clothing using optical fiber and energy harvester attached to save lives.

The purpose of this study is to progress the limitations and disadvantages of existing safety clothing by applying high technology to current safety clothing that is produced and distributed only with fluorescent fabrics and retroreflective materials. Therefore, the industrial suspender-type safety belt and engineering technology are introduced, designed, and fabricated to help save a life in an emergency. First, the suspender-type safety belt to be developed is designed to emit light by LED attached to the film, and the body of the belt-wearer is recognized from a distance through retroreflection from the flashing LED. It aims to support people's safety by preventing accidents during roadside work, rescue activities, and sports activities at night. Second, with the development of advanced devices when the user is in an unconscious state due to distress or falls into an unconscious state due to distress or accident, the tilt sensor of the control unit attached to the belt automatically detects the angle of the human body and generates light and sound. It is intended to further enhance the utilization by mounting a sensing and signaling device that generates a distress signal and shaping it in the form of a belt attached to a vest that can be easily detached from the outside of the garment. When the wearer falls due to an accident, the tilt sensor of this belt detects the angle change and then the controller generates a high-frequency sound and repeated LED blinking signals at the same time. In the case of conventional safety vests, it is almost impossible to detect that the person is wearing a vest when there is no ambient light, but in case of the safety belts in this study, the sound and light signals of the safety belt enable us to find the wearer within 100 meters even when there is no ambient light.
