As the world is trying to establish smart city, unmanned vehicle control systems are being widely used. This paper writes about an unmanned parking control system that uses an adaptive background image modeling method, suggesting the method of updating the background image, modeled with an adaptive Gaussian mixture model, in both global and local way according to the moving object. Specifically, this paper focuses on suggesting two methods; a method of minimizing the influence of a moving object on a background image and a method of accurately updating the background image by quickly removing afterimages of moving objects within the area of interest to be monitored. In this paper, through the implementation of the unmanned vehicle control system, we proved that the proposed system can quickly and accurately distinguish both moving and static objects such as vehicles from the background image.

This paper presents a robust vehicle detection and tracking algorithm for supervision of illegal parking. The proposed algorithm is composed of four parts. First, a vehicle detection algorithm is proposed using the improved codebook object detection algorithm to segment moving vehicles from the input sequence. Second, a preprocessing technique using the geometric characteristics of vehicles is employed to exclude non-vehicle objects. Then, the detected vehicles are tracked by an object tracker which incorporates histogram tracking method with Kalman filter. To make the tracking results more accurate, histogram tracking results are used as measurement data for Kalman filter. Finally, Real Stop Counter (RSC) is introduced for trustworthy and accurate performance of the stopped vehicle detection. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can track multiple vehicles simultaneously and detect stopped vehicles successfully in the complicated street environment.

자동차 번호판 인식은 카메라의 발달과 무인자동차 주차 시스템, 불법 주정차 단속 등 응용 서비스의 증가로 부각되고 있는 텔레매틱스 분야의 핵심 기술이다. 특히 우리나라의 번호판은 영업용과 비영업용의 도색이 틀리고, 현재 4종류의 번호판 체계를 갖고 있다. 따라서 번호판 인식은 이들 번호판을 종류별로 분류하고 인식해야 되는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 레이블링 기법으로 번호판 종류를 분류하고, 지역 글자 인식에서 뭉개짐 현상이 발생하는 경우, 기존의 신경망에서 인식치 못하는 것을 차영상과 신경망을 이용하여 인식률 향상을 이루었다.

본 시스템은 어린이보호구역에 발생하는 차량사고가 불법주정차된 차량으로 인한 사각지대에 의해 발생되는 것에 착안하여 보행자를 인식하여 운전자들에게 알려 안전운전을 유도하여 사고를 예방해 주는 시스템이다 본 시스템은 영상인식장치, 경광장치, 중계장치, 차량 내 경고장치, 원격 트래픽 경고 수신기로 구성되어 있으며 영상인식장치가 edge-TPU 장치를 활용하여 카메라로부터 입력받은 영상을 모바일넷 기반의 딥러닝으로 처리하여 보행자, 차량, 그밖의 물체를 인식한다. 보행자가 인식되면 외부에서 경광장치가 발광하여 신호를 보내고, 중계장치를 통해 차량 내 경고장치로 보행자 경고 신호를 보낸다. 실험 결과 영상인식을 통해 보행자와 차량을 분류 인식할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 시스템은 어린이 보호구역에서 발생할 수 있는 교통사고를 방지하기 위해 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 자동차 대수 당 주차면 수가 충분한 상황이지만, 외부인이 사용할 수 없는 허수 주차 공간이 대부분이다. 이에 본 논문은 불법 주정차의 원인을 비효율적인 주차 공간 활용이라 판단하였다. 아파트 및 상가 주차 공간은 출근 시간대에 여유 주차면 수가 급격히 증가하는데, 이 잉여 공간 중 일부를 외부인에게 공유하여 주차 공간을 최대한 활용할 수 있도록 한다. 애플리케이션 이용자는 원하는 주차장을 예약하고, 출입통제 자동화 시스템의 QR코드 인식을 통해 주차장을 사용할 수 있다. 전체적인 예약 시스템 관리는 웹 브라우저를 이용한다.

At present, Seoul City is putting the bus exclusive lane system into practice according to mass transit revitalization policy. Starting with the installation of roadside bus exclusive lane in the past, at present, even the road sections for central- lane bus exclusive lane system are on the increase. The purpose of this research is to analyze the factors giving impacts on bus accident on central bus exclusive lane and roadside bus exclusive lane. In case of the central bus exclusive lane, the 6 variables, such as the number of bus routes, number of access & entrance to central lanes patterns, whether the stop line of central lanes retreats or not, separated distance between the stop line of central lanes and crosswalks, traffic volume, and number of bus routes stopping at bus stops on reversible lanes, were found to have a significant influence on bus accidents. In case of roadside bus exclusive lane sections, the four variables such as the number of right-turn bus routes, whether to be chronic illegal parking & stopping, time for the walk signal, and forms of land use, etc. were found to have a significant influence on bus accident.

Loading zone is necessary to central business district(CBD) due to freight trucks coming into inner city. Currently truck drivers in metropolitan area are forced to illegally park their freight trucks on the roads close to the business facilities because there is no or few loading zones available in the CBD. This situation would bring into traffic congestion and even might block local roads in the CBD. This study reviews the existing improvement plans in city logistics, and examines delivery characteristics related to freight trucks and drivers in Seomyeon, the central downtown of Busan. Also it conducts a location planning for on-street loading/unloading bay using a technical method for arranging loading space. This research estimated the number of parking and stop bays for truck's operation using queueing theory based on truck-service rate and arrival rate, and found locations with the minimum resistance function values for freight movement in arranging on-street loading/unloading bays.

Detection of a number plate consists of three stages; division of a number plate, extraction of each character from the plate, recognition of the characters. Among of these three states, division stage of a number plate is the most important part and also the most time-consuming state. This paper suggests an effective region extraction method of a number plate for various images obtained from unmanned inspection systems of illegal parking violation, especially when we have to consider the diverse surrounding environments of roads. Our approaching method detects each region by investigating the characteristics in changes of brightness and intensity between the background part and character part, and the characteristics on character parts such as the sizes, heights, widths, and distance in between two characters. The method also divides a number plate into different types of the plate. This research can solve the number plate region detection failure problems caused by plate edge damages not only for Korean domestic number plates but also for new European style number plates. The method also reduces the time consumption by processing the detection in real-time, therefore, it can be used as a practical solution.

Vehicle license plate is the only way to check the registrated information of a vehicle. Many works have been devoted to the vision system of recognizing the license plate, which has been widely used to control an illegal parking. However, it is difficult to correctly segment characters on the license plate since an illumination is affected by a weather change and a neighboring obstacles. This paper proposes a robust method of segmenting the character of the license plate on irregular illumination condition. The proposed method enhance the contrast of license plate images using the Chi-Square probability density function. For segmenting characters on the license plate, binary images with the high quality are gained by applying the adaptive threshold. Preprocessing and labeling algorithm are used to eliminate noises existing during the whole segmentation process. Finally, profiling method is applied to segment characters on license plate from binary images.

This study is to analyze the physical environment and conduct spatial data for bicycle road system in changwon. Index for evaluation index was developed based on literatures. Then the level of importance and weight have been modified through experts review. Finally, index with eight categories such as greenness(40% over), bicycle road connectivity(1.8, 9.8%), road type bike(bicycle lane, 24.4%), pave type(asphalt 72.5%), illegal parking(none, 93.9%), bike road surface visibility(exist, 46.8%), vehicle speed limits(30km, under), vehicle traffic(500/hr under, 44.3%) have been applied to empirical investigation. Collected data has been hierarchically classification by ArcGIS Program. The Highest grades(score 31-35, level 1) occupied 35% of target destination. High level of greenness and load type has contributed to high score. In addition, average level of greenness of those destination was 35% and higher, which provide high degree of security and freshness for bicycle riding. Meanwhile, lowest level(level 5, which earned 15 point or less) occupied 24.5%. illegal parking, low level of greenness, and no surface sign caused low score.
