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.

The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of in-vehicle pedestrian warning systems. Driving Simulator-based experiments were conducted to collect data to represent driver's responsive behavior. The braking frequency, lane change duration, and collision speed were used as measure of effectiveness (MOE) to evaluate the effectiveness. Collision speed data obtained from the simulation experiments were further used to predict pedestrian injury severity. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of warning information systems by reducing the pedestrian injury severity. It is expected that the proposed evaluation methodology and outcomes will be useful in developing various vehicular technologies and relevant policies to enhance pedestrian safety.

This paper aims to develop a web based GIS system which is able to evaluate and visualize the overall degree (in terms of pleasantness and aesthetics) of pedestrian friendliness of the environment, as well as pedestrians' convenience through a Walkability Indicators that simplify pedestrian environment elements into a quantitative index in accordance with characteristics of pedestrian space. To make this goal come true, we developed and applied Walkability index which can measure the pedestrian environment through reflecting quantitative Indicators based on GIS supplementing the limit of Literature Review. In addition, in order to develop index we utilized AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and we displayed measurement result on study area through web GIS Services. The proposed pedestrian measurement system is expected to be applicable in the visualization of pedestrian movements and the evaluation of convenience levels of pedestrian environment.

마이크로셀 시스템에서 트래픽(통화량) 성능은 가입자(사용자)들의 이동성에 민감한 영향을 받는다. 셀 내 체류시간 및 채널점유시간은 이동 속도 및 방향의 추계적인 변화에 의하여 특성지어진다. 셀 내 체류시간은 채널점유시간과 같은 통화량 성능을 분석하는데 기초적으로 이용되는 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 차세대 이동통신 네크워크로 진화해 가는 과정에서 증가하는 사용자들의 접속요청을 수용하고 주파수 효용도를 높이기 위하여 셀의 크기는 매우 작아진다. 셀의 크기가 작아질수록 통화량 성능은 사용자들, 특히 보행자들의 가변적인 이동성에 더욱더 영향을 받게된다. 단순화된 모형을 이용한 기존연구는 제2세대 이동통신에서는 수용할만한 정확성을 보였으나, 통화량 분포의 변화가 시간적으로 크고, 보행자의 이동성에 영향을 많이 받는 picocell (피코셀)의 특성을 적절히 반영하지 못하여 성능분석의 정확성을 기대하기 어렵다. 보행자의 가변적인 이동성을 수리적으로 분석하기 '위하여 랜덤 웍 (random-walk)모형을 적용하여 기존의 연구보다 개선시킨 확률모형을 제안한다. 제안된 모형으로 추계적 상관관계가 있는 보행자 이동성의 가변적 특성을 분석할 수 있다. 주요 통화량 성능지표를 제안된 모형으로 분석하였다.

In this study, the patterns and characteristics according to gait cycle were analyzed using to EMG signals during walking, and analyzed in the time domain and frequency domain. The experiments was performed divide to level-ground walking and stair walking, and gait cycle was analysis by stance and swing. In the sagittal plane by using the tilt sensor measures the angle of the lower leg, and EMG was measured from the quadriceps and biceps femoris. The tilt of the lower leg was showed the biggest tilt at HS, and showed lowest value at TO. All in walking according to the gait cycle IEMG showed a specific pattern, and is expected useful to determine the gait cycle and kind. In the frequency domain analysis was using STFT on able to frequency analysis according to time, and using the tilt sensor was identify gait cycle. We analyzed also spectrum of the results of the STFT in all gait types, and recognized that stance had broad bandwidth than that of swing. Through this study, it was confirmed the possibility of judgment and analysis of the gait cycle using EMG and the tilt in the sagittal plane of the lower leg. When used it, can improve the quality of life of amputation patients

It has reported that a median bus-stop island on an exclusive median bus corridor has shortened a unit crossing distance, encouraged a pedestrian's illegal jay walking, and thus increased the number of accidents in the area. Therefore, this study plans to analyze the various crossing patterns of pedestrians at exclusive median bus corridors. This study analyzes 30,184 pedestrian crossing data which are collected from the median bus-stops, 'Express Bus Terminal,' and reveals that the rate of spatial jaywalking was 37.8%. This rate is 11.1 times higher than the rate of traffic signal violation. Therefore, this study suggests that more research needs to be done to provide a traffic safety facilities for protecting spatial crossing pedestrians and preventing jaywalking and traffic signal violation.

The population over 65 years old is 12.7% of total population in 2014 and Korea is going to be an aged society in the near future. The transportation vulnerable including the aged should be guaranteed in walking mobility under safe and comfortable environment for their socio-economic activities. For the era of fusion and convergence this paper investigated the characteristics of walking accidents related to the aged pedestrians and analyzed the aged-oriented walking factors with a reaction time and a walking speed at crosswalks in Yeosu. In the results, the crashes for the aged occur at 9.9% of total crashes and the fatalities of the aged are 40.3% of total fatalities in 2014. The 47.4% of the aged fatalities is also attributed to vehicle-to-pedestrian accidents. The 49.3% of all pedestrian fatalities occurs at the aged pedestrians with a very high proportion. The reaction time and walking speed for the aged were determined as the values located at the lower 15%-tile of the elderly physical ability. It is shown that the reaction time is 4.56 seconds and the walking speed is 0.76 m/s in the case of Yeosu. From two factors' standpoint, the walking environment at crosswalks in Yeosu is inappropriate for the aged.

Pedestrian deaths account for a high percentage of deaths in traffic accidents in Korea, raising interest in pedestrian safety policy. However, since the walk signal time is applied based on the length of the crosswalk without considering the walker and the signal cycle, the walk waiting time is relatively longer than the crosswalk, causing pedestrian jaywalking. In this study, due to an unreasonable signal time plan during a road crossing where a signal is installed, the pedestrian's walk signal was given twice a cycle of crossings, and the operational and safety effects of the signal system were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed, and the operational effects of the signal interval and jaywalking rate were assessed by different signal intervals. The results showed that jaywalking and waiting time decreased, and the shorter the interval between the application of the walk signal time, the less jaywalking is analyzed. However, there is a risk of vehicle conflict due to pedestrian exposure, and measures for expanding safety for operation were proposed.

This study identified the factors which affect pedestrian behavior using the tobit model with a descriptive analysis. Individual characteristics, household characteristics, zone characteristics were selected as the independent variables. Walking frequency and walking time was adopted for the variables which represent walking behavior. The results showed that the walking time models were superior than the walking frequency models. The model for education purpose had the most lowest fitness and the model for others purpose had characteristics mixed up the various purposes. Futhermore, this research found that independent variables: individual, household and zone characteristic variables affected walking activities of elderly pedestrian by purpose. The walking activity decresed when a pedestrian grew older or had a vehicle or a driver's license. The Elderly facilities promoted the walking activity of seniors. As the floor area of neighborhood and business facilities was wide, the walking activities were animated. In addition, the compacted downtown developments decreased the elderly's walking activities, so it is needed to consider those results in terms of the urban planners.

The walkway level of service (LOS) is conceptualized using pedestrian flow rate, speed, and density according to the Korean Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM). However, as it is based on the data of commuters at peak hours, it needs to be reevaluated considering various trip purposes and a pleasant pedestrian environment. Thus, the authors aimed to investigate and analyze the characteristics of each group: pedestrians during the peak hour and those during the non-peak hour. Then they were verified statistically for the walkway evaluation criteria. In this study, the authors investigated pedestrian speed and flow in a complex transit center walkway with diverse trip purposes by peak and non-peak hour. Then the authors statistically verified the differences between the groups. A model was built for estimating pedestrian density by speed and flow; it was used to calculate the walkway capacity (67.3p/m/m) corresponding to LOS E. The authors established new criteria for LOS, applying the LOS from the HCM. These standards can then be used as the design standards for pedestrian walkways.
