전자신호등도 갑작스러운 교통량의 증가나 감소 시에는 최적녹색시간을 산출할 수 없다. 그러므로, 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 각 교차로의 승용차대기시간, 평균차량속도를 Database에 저장한 후, 운전자가 최단경로를 인터넷상에서 검색하는 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지 규칙을 이용하여 최단경로검색 및 최적 녹색시간을 산출하는 알고리즘과 퍼지 교통 신호등 하드웨어를 제안한다.

인터넷에서 가상현실 기법의 도입은 인터넷의 범용성과 함께 사용자가 쉽게 접할 수 있고 다양한 정보를 획득할 수 있기 때문에 지속적으로 발전해 가고 있다. VRML은 이러한 인터넷에서 가상세계를 구현하는 표준언어로 자리잡고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 많이 활용되고있는 VRML 저작툴인 ISA(Internet Scene Assembler)와 ISB(Internet Scene Builder)를 이용해 가상신호등 시스템을 설계하고 구현하는 것이 목적이다. 가상 신호등 시스템의 시뮬레이션을 위해 애니메이션 기법과 Sensor Node 및 Time_Bool_Converter 등의 Logic 함수를 사용하게 되고, Routing Diagram의 연결을 통해 시뮬레이션을 제작하게 된다.

전자교통신호등은 차량이 교차로에 많을 때에는 교통신호주기를 연장할 수 있고, 교차로에 차량이 적을 경우에는 교통신호주기를 단축할 수 있다. 그러나, 요즈음과 같이 교통체증이 많아서 평균주행속도가 10Km-20Km일 때에는 전자신호등의 기능을 수행할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지 규칙을 이용하여 최단경로검색 및 최적 녹색시간 알고리즘을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험결과 앞 막힘 현상이 발생하는 경우에는 평균 승용차 대기시간 및 평균주행속도를 10%-32% 가량 개선시킬 수 있음을 입증하였다.

Increased vehicles on the restricted road, the conventional traffic light to losses the function of optimal cycle. The conventional traffic light dose not consider passenger car unit ,offset, and length of traffic intersection. As a result, 30~45% of conventional traffic cycle does not match the present traffic cycle. In this paper, we study the disard vantage of conventional traffic light and improve the vehicle average waiting time in the traffic intersection and vehicle average speed using fuzzy logic. Moreover, it will be able to forecast the optimal traffic information, road under construction and dangerous road using internet.

In this paper, the structure of traffic lights removed the wire for the completion of urban aesthetics is analyzed. The finite element model consists of shell elements from three-dimensional CAD model of actual traffic signal. Traffic light pole, horizontal stand shape, thickness, stiffeners, etc. are considered in this study. Analysis of stress and deformation is performed by applying wind load. When the wind load is applied, the result on traffic signal is analyzed. This study is to perform the basic tasks for improving the design.

After heated discussion, National Police Agency decided not to install Red Arrow signal at such major intersections as Gwanghwamoon, Sejongro. The major issues can be summarized in the following reasons. The one is the conflict of color and symbol (red means STOP and arrow means PROGRESS), and it would confuse drivers and may cause traffic accident. The other includes high replacement cost. This paper delivered how much red arrow signal would affect (1) drivers start up delay time, (2) saturation flow rate and (3) vehicle headway. The result showed that there was no statistical difference in those even when a red arrow signal is placed.

Lots of research and development works have been actively focused on the self-driving vehicles, locally and globally. In order to implement the self-driving vehicles, lots of fundamental core technologies need to be successfully developed and, specially, it is noted that traffic lights detection and recognition system is an essential part of the computer vision technologies in the self-driving vehicles. Up to nowadays, most conventional algorithm for detecting and recognizing traffic lights are mainly based on the color signal analysis, but these approaches have limits on the performance improvements that can be achieved due to the color signal noises and environmental situations. In order to overcome the performance limits, this paper introduces the morphological analysis for the traffic lights recognition. That is, by considering the color component analysis and the shape analysis such as rectangles and circles simultaneously, the efficiency of the traffic lights recognitions can be greatly increased. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method can highly improve the recognition rate as well as the mis-recognition rate.

The traffic signal controllers being used in the domestic currently are being manufactured based on the korean national police standard which was developed for controlling the quad-light traffic signal having the red, yellow, left-turn arrow, and green lights. But according to the national policy for the traffic operation, they have to be changed to be able to switch the tri-light signal having red, yellow and green lights. In this study, a new tri-light traffic signal controller was designed and developed by the way improving the Signal Control Unit of the existing quad-light standard traffic controller. The Load Signal Unit(LSU) was improved to output 6 signals which are the two assemblies of three signal indications having the red, yellow, and green lights. To enough traffic signals output to control each directional movements and the various transport modes which are car, bus, bike, and pedestrian etc., the connector bus system was designed to be able to accommodate maximum 96 signals outputs being constructed by 16 LSUs. Flasher device was developed to be able to support maximum 32 red signals. In the software, the communication protocol between traffic control center and the traffic signal controller was improved and new signal map code values were defined for the developed LSU controlling the quad-light traffic signal. A model of the quad-light traffic signal controller developed and was tested three operations, protocol-operation, remote-command and control-mode. The test result operated all of them successfully.

The Office for Government Policy Coordination announced in 2006, september that a scheme of pre-signal would show remarkable outcome to reduce traffic accidents. Therefore, the Ministry recommended applying preferentially the pre-signal scheme to enhancement projects for high accident frequency areas. In case that the suggested pre-signal was unilaterally introduced to the enhancement projects at intersections, it might rather cause a big trial and error in terms of traffic safety. Hence, on the basis of quantitative analysis, this study was to indicate a pre-signal's effectiveness to reduce the traffic accidents, to illustrate a trend of the accident type due to the pre-signal, and to introduce intersection type that could be appropriate for the pre-signal. The methodology adopted Comparison-Group Method which was developed by Hauer. Through this methodology, overall effectiveness to reduce the accidents is considered positive but individual effectiveness by intersection and by accident case was different. All cases of the accidents at small scale intersection demonstrated positive results to reduce its accidents, while in case of frontal collision and side-right angle collision out of the accident types, the installation of pre-signal rather caused a negative result increasing the accident in terms of the traffic safety. I hope that this study would be a useful reference for future development of the estimation of accident effectiveness. Thus, when the pre-signal is being installed in the big intersection, it is recommended operating the installation concerning carefully improvements about muliple aspects as traffic operation, traffic facility, human factor etc.
