The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of LED safety block using the government database. To evaluate these effects, the night accident data was obtained from 2007 to 2011 from the database. At the LED-installed area, compared to the uninstalled area, the number of night traffic accidents, injured and mortality had decreased by 26.2%, 21.2% and 38.3%, respectively. The LED-installed intersections are safer than the LED-uninstalled roads from a traffic accidents perspective. In conclusion, a LED safety block is quite effective in decreasing the number of traffic accidents. Although this study was conducted using the data from Changwon city, where LED safety blocks have been installed so far, these results can provide valuable data to other cities considering the implementation of these LED safety blocks.

Recently, additional pedestrian passages are installed on urban tunnels in Korea. The lighting environment of the pedestrian passages should be appropriate to pedestrians. In this study, illuminance and discomfort glare where measured for determining the actual impact that pedestrians will be influenced by the tunnel lighting condition. Illuminance and discomfort glare were measured in 'S tunnel' which is located in Dong-Jack, Seoul, at day and night. And field survey on illuminance and discomfort glare was conducted to identify subjective responses of pedestrians. From the results of measurements and the survey, it is known that the lighting environment of the pedestrian passage in the tunnel is slightly dark especially at day time. UGR values which were measured at night were also higher than that at day. The results and methods of this study will be useful data for the 'Environmental Improvement of Pedestrian passage in Tunnel' project which was begun by Seoul City at 1st December 2008.

가로수는 공원과 더불어 도시지역의 중요 녹지공간으로 도시 이미지를 높이는데 매우 긍정적인 평가요소이며 녹지연결 및 쾌적한 가로공간 창출로 그 가치를 높이고 있다. 또한 가로등은 야간 운전자와 보행자의 안전을 보장하기 위해 중요한 시설물이다. 본 연구는 야간 운전자와 보행자의 안전을 평가하기 위한 조명 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 가로수의 유형과 성장이 조명환경에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위한 접근법을 제시한다. 가로수와 가로등은 도로 설계에 있어 중요한 요소이지만 상호간에는 각 목적에 배치되는 특징들이 있다. 특히 가로수는 가로등과 같이 고정 시설물의 성격도 있지만 성장과 형태가 다양하다는 특징이 있다. 본 연구는 상호 목적을 최적화할 수 있는 방법을 제시하기 위한 출발점으로 조명 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 가로수의 유형과 성장이 야간 도로 조명에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 방법을 제시한다.

심각한 노인교통사고를 줄이기 위하여 가장 높은 점유율을 보이는 노인보행자의 횡단사고 유형, 특성 및 사고원인을 분석했다. 횡단사고의 약 60%가 횡단보도 및 그 부근에서 발생했고, 70%이상이 노인여성이었으며, 절반정도가 야간에 발생했고 피해정도는 치사율이 12%, 부상은 평균 6주의 중상이었다. 사고원인은 특히 횡단보도 및 그 부근에서의 운전미확인이 가장 많았고, 노인보행자측의 원인은 고의위반 또는 법의 부지가 가장 많았다. 노인보행자의 횡단사고를 줄이기 위해서 운전자에게 횡단보도 정지선 엄수, 횡단보도 부근뿐 아니라 생활도로 및 상업지역 도로에서의 철저한 안전확인 등의 교육, 홍보, 훈련이 필요하다. 노인보행자를 위한 훈련프로그램은 성별로는 특히 노인여성에게 집중적 훈련이 요구되며, 훈련내용으로는 야간횡단의 위험성 인식 및 반사재 부착, 안전한 횡단장소 선택 및 횡단절차의 훈련, 상대방은 운전자와의 의사소통 훈련 등이 중점적으로 개발되어야 한다.

The use of multi-spectral cameras is essential for day and night pedestrian detection. In this paper, a color camera and a thermal imaging infrared camera were used to detect pedestrians near a crosswalk for 24 hours at an intersection with a high risk of traffic accidents. For pedestrian detection, the YOLOv5 object detector was used, and the detection performance was improved by using color images and thermal images at the same time. The proposed system showed a high performance of 0.940 mAP in the day/night multi-spectral (color and thermal image) pedestrian dataset obtained from the actual crosswalk site.

Although walking is an important transport mode which should be promoted, realistic studies about walking is not sufficient. Especially, due to the transportation planning oriented toward automobile, there is not realistic analysis method for walking in the Highway Capacity Manual. Therefore, in this study the fuzzy approximate reasoning was employed to build a model for the analysis of walkways service level. For the input variable the noise level and brightness as well as the pedestrian flow rate were employed and the output variable was the walking satisfaction degree. The fuzzy models were constructed for daytime and nighttime separately. The forecastability analysis for the models were conducted using $R^2$, MAE and MSE. The values of them for the daytime model are 0.802, 0.729 and 0.735 respectively and the values for nighttime are 0.893, 0.878 and 0.860 respectively, so it can be said that the models explain the real situation well. As a result of this study, it can be concluded that the noise level has stronger effects to walking satisfaction then the brightness in night.

In this paper, it is proposed to detect and track pedestrian and analyse tracking performance with nighttime CCTV video. The detection is performed by a cascade classifier with Haar-like feature trained with Adaboost algorithm. Tracking pedestrian is performed by a particle filter. As results of experiments, it is introduced that efficient number of particles and the distributions are applied to track pedestrian at the night-time. Performance of detection and tracking is verified with nighttime CCTV video that is obtained at alleys etc.

According to Traffic Accident Statistics, the fatalities of accident while crossing is over represented. So, more active safety countermeasure should be considered to reduce the frequency and degree of severity of pedestrian-crossing involved accidents. The study analyses the safety effects of the Crossing Safety Assistant System which is composed of Led-embedded crosswalk lightings, text displayer and audio waning device for the safety consciousness both pedestrian and vehicles at crosswalk area. Operating speed of vehicles is reduced with statistical significance, and the level of vigilance expressed by pedestrian head movement to check out the vehicle existence is improved.
