The traditional Aids to Navigations(AtoN) have been ensuring the safety of ships by indicating the passage and dangers by depending on the flashing lights. But the more the industrial complex behind port which is all over the country involving the Ulsan port developed, the more the lights behind port is stronger, and then the distinguishment of the signal of AtoN from the lights behind port is more difficult. And It is urgently needed to prepare the counterplan about the ensurement of safety because the authorities levels up the limit tonnage of the ships which are sail in and out during night to improve the operation of port through reducing of the traffic jam So, the method of direct lighting like LED non-neon is applied to unmanned lighthouses or light beacon, and the LED flashing number plate is applied to light buoys whose light power is weaker than to improve distinguishment and to be easy positioning of ships. As a result, the users of Ulsan port comment favorably on this item and the development of AtoN must be continuos to overcome the lights behind port.

Recently, the IoT (Internet of Things) environment is being developed rapidly through network which is linked to intellectual objects. Through the IoT, it is possible for human to intercommunicate with objects and objects to objects. Also, the IoT provides artificial intelligent service mixed with knowledge of situational awareness. One of the industries based on the IoT is a car industry. Nowadays, a self-driving vehicle which is not only fuel-efficient, smooth for traffic, but also puts top priority on eventual safety for humans became the most important conversation topic. Since several years ago, a research on the recognition of the surrounding environment for self-driving vehicles using sensors, lidar, camera, and radar techniques has been progressed actively. Currently, based on the WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment), the research is being boosted by forming networking between vehicles, vehicle and infrastructures. In this paper, a research on the recognition of a traffic signs on highway was processed as a part of the awareness of the surrounding environment for self-driving vehicles. Through the traffic signs which have features of fixed standard and installation location, we provided a learning theory and a corresponding results of experiment about the way that a vehicle is aware of traffic signs and additional informations on it.

도로표지는 도로 이용자에게 목적지까지의 방향, 거리, 경로 안내 등 기타정보를 제공함으로써 안전하고 원활한 교통흐름을 제공하여 도로의 이용 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 중요한 도로 부속시설물이다. 이 시설물의 설치 기준인 도로표지규칙의 일부 기준이 미흡하고 운영 및 관리담당 기관이 일원화되지 않아, 전문적 도로표지 관리가 용이하지 않은 실정이다. 이에 도로표지의 통합적 전문적 관리와, 그에 따른 도로표지의 신속하고 정확한 조사가 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 최적의 조사시스템을 도출하기 위하여 도로시설물의 조사를 위한 여러 방법과 시스템을 비교하고 그 장단점을 분석하였다. 또한, 수치지도를 바탕으로 한 도로망도를 추출하고 DGPS 측량을 실시한 도로망도를 이용하여 현지조사를 실시하였다. 현지 조사 시스템을 공간정보, 속성정보로 구성된 데이터베이스, 표지판등록 및 GPS프로그램으로 구성된 응용프로그램, 소프트웨어와 경로탐색용 네비게이션, 노트북, 디지털카메라, GPS로 구성된 하드웨어로 구성하여 현지조사에 사용하였다. 현지조사 작업은 차량에 설치된 디지털카메라를 이용하여 원격조정으로 도로표지의 사진을 촬영하고, GPS를 이용하여 위치를 측정하였다. 현지조사 시스템은 지도의 축척에 맞는 정확도로 조정이 가능하며, 도로표지 조사뿐만 아니라 교통표지 및 그 외의 도로시설물의 조사에도 활용하고, 무선통신을 이용한다면 실시간 정보의 수정 및 입력이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

With the increasing of cars, general studies of them for the traffic safety have been raised as important problems. Visual system to radio-controled driving is to sample road traffic information as reconstructing a model from lots of road traffic information which is successively input in order to drive on unknown road. This paper proposes a sampling process of the road traffic information board needed in automatic driving under automatic drive system using Hough Transform and Genetic Alorithm.

The recognition of current position and road surrounding of car is very important to driver for safe driving. This paper presents the recognition technique of the road traveling environment using position information hiding and viewpoint transform that monitors the information of road furniture and signature and notifies them to driver. The proposed scheme generates the road images into which the position information are hided, from car camera and GPS module and provides the road information to driver through the viewpoint transformation and the road signature detection. The driving tests with camera and GPS module verified that the position information hiding takes about 66.5ms per frame, the detection rate of road signature is about 95.83%, and the road signature detection takes about 227.45ms per frame. Therefore, we know that the proposed scheme can recognize the road traveling environment on the road video with 15 frame rate.

화재가 발생했을 때 많은 사람이 연기에 질식하여 사망하는 피해가 거의 해마다 일어나고 있다. 특히 올해 2월18일 190여명이 사망한 대구 지하철 중앙로역 화재참사에서는 다량의 유독성 가스를 효과적으로 배출하지 못해 더 많은 사망자가 발생하였다. 당시 지하철역에는 화재가 발생하면 환기용 배기장치가 급기장치로 전환되는 급기방식의 제연설비가 설치되어 있었고, 시계 불량으로 피난 표지판과 유도등이 잘 보이지 않은 것으로 밝혀졌다.(중략)

In this paper, we focus on recognition of speed-limit signs among a few types of traffic signs because speed-limit sign is closely related to safe driving of drivers. Although histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and local binary patterns (LBP) are representative features for object recognition, these features have a weakness with respect to rotation, in that it does not consider the rotation of the target object when generating patterns. Therefore, this paper propose the fast rotation-invariant binary patterns (FRIBP) algorithm to generate a binary pattern that is robust against rotation. The proposed FRIBP algorithm deletes an unused layer of the histogram, and eliminates the shift and comparison operations in order to quickly extract the desired feature. The proposed FRIBP algorithm is successfully applied to German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) datasets, and the results show that the recognition capabilities of the proposed method are similar to those of other methods. Moreover, its recognition speed is considerably enhanced than related works as approximately 0.47second for 12,630 test data.

This paper proposes a real-time algorithm for speed limit sign recognition for advanced safety vehicle system. The proposed algorithm uses Block-DCT in extracting features from a given ROI(Region Of Interest) instead of using entire pixel values as in previous works. The proposed algorithm chooses parts of the DCT coefficients according to the proposed discriminant factor, uses correlation coefficients and variances among ROIs from training samples to reduce amount of arithmetic operations without performance degradation in classification process. The algorithm recognizes the speed limit signs using the information obtained during training process by calculating LDA and Mahalanobis Distance. To increase the hit rate of recognition, it uses accumulated classification results computed for a sequence of frames. Experimental results show that the hit rate of recognition for sequential frames reaches up to 100 %. When compared with previous works, numbers of multiply and add operations are reduced by 69.3 % and 67.9 %, respectively. Start after striking space key 2 times.

LED is low power and pro-environment semiconductor element. That can be used not only as the lighting function but also for Visible Light Communication(VLC). The VLC is the communication technology that can send data by blinking a fluorescent or LED using visible spectrum. That velocity of blinking can not be usually recognized by eyesight. Visible Light Communication using LED can be used in many fields. In the field of ITS(Intelligent Transportation System), Under construction on the road, Emitting traffic signs can be applied to transfer the vehicle information. In this paper, Emitting traffic signs in addition to the VLC give information about road condition, safety distance and the lane change. We design Communication protocol to provide safety service and verify protocol by experiment.
