In this study a moving platform for a mobile robot that can be traveling with a full automatic standing arm was developed. Conventional mobile robots generally may equip 4 wheels or 3 wheels with a caster wheel or independent driven wheels and have good statistic stability. When a mobile robot travels on a sharply perpendicular and narrow crossroad, it may need a special steering scheme such as going forward and backward repeatedly or it is sometimes physically impossible for the robot to go through the crossroad because of the size limit. The upright running mobile robot changes its posture to the upright posture which has a small planar area and is able to go through the crossroad. The upright control which was manually performed step by step before such as sequences of uprighting (returning), checking, and balancing, is now automated.

This paper suggests the background image and the algorism of detecting an accident at crossroads by using the sequence of traffic light at crossroads, which is installed within the crossroads, in order to detect an accident within crossroads. A method of using the existing image contains a problem that the accident-detection ratio gets lower in a situation that noise occurs loudly given using new accident model, the confused situation, or sound source. This study used the accident detection by developing a filter of using the property of histogram in the sequence of traffic light at crossroads and the background image, in order to reduce misjudgment of an accident caused by external shadow, vehicle stoppage, vehicle headlight, and externally environmental influence. As a result of experimenting by acquiring 15 actual accident images in order to examine the performance of the suggested algorism, the accident was detected in all the 15 videos. Even as for a new accident model, the accident within crossroads could be detected.

Changes in road infrastructure affect driving patterns and pollutant emission characteristics. we analyzed the changes in driving patterns and pollutant emission characteristics of the driving route via measured driving patterns at year 2009 and 2016. Since 2009, there has been an increase in population and traffic demand, including residential areas and industrial facilities. Traffic conditions were improved such as the opening of the highway Inter-Change to Seoul and the construction of underground driveway. As a result, the average vehicle speed increased. More detail comparisons have made on the changes of the underground driveway section and the crossroad section, which are expected to have significant changes in the transportation infrastructure. The vehicle speed distribution of the underground driveway changed from low speed to high speed, and the increase of the time spent at the high speed and high load caused the increase of NOx emissions. The vehicle speed also increased at the crossroad section, and the consequence NOx and $CO_2$ emissions decreased. It is mainly because the decreased time spent at idle, which results from the proper traffic demand management at this area.

A fuzzy traffic controller with the control rules and the membership functions generated by using genetic algorithm is presented for crossroad management. Conventional fuzzy traffic controllers use control rules and membership functions generated by human operators. However, this approach does not guarantee the optimal solution to design fuzzy control system. Genetic algorithm is a good solution for an optimal problem requiring domain-specific knowledge that is often heuristic. In this paper, we use genetic algorithms to automatically determine the near optimal rules and their membership functions of fuzzy traffic controllers. The effectiveness of our method was shown through simulation of crossroad network.

Now a days, there are various application functions to transmit from vehicles to the Internet and vice versa. And the communication can be operated through a roadside infrastructure including with possible use of routing protocols. Specifically, autonomous vehicles for remote driving and monitoring requires transmitting of high depth of multimedia such as video. Especially in a populated urban area, an efficient network is vital because of handling a great amount of the data. Therefore, in this paper, efficient network topology for a crossroad in urban area is suggested by performance evaluation of vehicular networks using a wireless LAN and a routing protocol. For the performance evaluation, various vehicular network topologies are designed and simulated in OPNet simulator.

Construction VE is the system introduced in order to reduce the life cycle cost and promote the performance of construction facilities, used in architecture and civil construction since apply to construction over 10 billion from december 2005. But yet it is short of VE specialist and it is not a purpose in maximization of value creation through VE but strong better awareness of tool for budget reduce. This study tries to contribute to qualitative advance of design VE by analyze substantial degree of VE Procedure and VE result by Job Plan used widely in domestic an object design VE competition case to crossroad.

This paper proposed a Prior Forecast System of Crossroad Traffic Information that allows vulnerable road users to perceive traffic signal changes beforehand and respond in concentrated traffic areas such as crossroads. Also, it mapped out information linking procedures of the proposed system and it designed a PHY based wireless communication simulator to verify the operational feasibility of wireless communications. Conclusively, by conducting performance analysis according to crossroad channel environments using the simulator designed in this paper, it verified that a Prior Forecast System of Crossroads Traffic Information service for vehicle IT based decision-making support for vulnerable road users is a possibility.

The unsignalized intersections in a community road in the city of Seoul have 3,753 traffic accidents(9%) of total 41,702 cases in 2008, not high in the occurrence rate of traffic accidents, but seem to have a quite high potential of accidents due to the unreasonable and insufficient operation of systems and facilities in the part of traffic foundations. In particular, the un-signalized intersections in a community road have an insufficient measure for safety as compared to the crossroads with signals, and there are few analysis of traffic accidents and domestic researches on the model of affecting factors. Our country also has no concept of passing priority in operating a crossroad without signals, differently from foreign countries, so the researches and safety measures for improving the safety of a crossroad without signals in a community road are urgent. Therefore, this research has developed a safety model for a crossroad without signals in a community road based on the safety image data collected through individual interviews and questionnaires for the users of unsignalized intersections in a community road, and confirmed that legal systems, road facilities, personal factors, etc. have the biggest effect on the safety of drivers. It was confirmed that the clarity of passing methods, establishment of legal systems, etc. have the biggest effect on safety in order to raise the safety of unsignalized intersections in a community road, which drivers desire.

오늘날 도시교통은 계속적으로 증가하는 자동차에 의해 극심한 정체를 겪고 있다. 복잡한 교통상황에서 도시의 한정된 도로를 최적으로 이용함으로써 교통의 흐름을 효율적으로 통제할 수 있는 시스템의 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 멀티 에이전트 시스템은 이러한 복잡한 교통 상황을 해소하는 새로운 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Visual C++ 언어를 이용하여 개발하고 교차로망 시뮬레이션을 위한 에이전트 기반의 퍼지 논리 제어기를 제안하였다. 제안된 퍼지 논리 제어기는 교통량이 많더라도 교통신호 주기를 통제하기에 적합한 방법이며, 이 방법의 효과를 교차로망 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 입증하였다.

본 논문은 교통 신호 제어 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교하기 위한 복수 교차로 시뮬레이터를 구현하였다. 기존의 교통 시뮬레이터들은 단일교차로를 대상으로 하거나 텍스트 모드로 동작하는 경우가 많았다. 논문의 시뮬레이터는 Visual C++의 MFC 라이브러리를 사용하여 n$\times$n 형태를 갖는 복수 교차로에 적합하도록 객체 지향적으로 구현되었으며, 성능 비교를 위하여 제어 알고리즘들을 별개의 윈도우에서 처리하기 쉽도록 MDI 방식을 사용하였다. 객체지향 프로그래밍 기술로 시뮬레이터를 설계하였기 때문에 편리할 뿐만 아니라 확장이나 수정이 용이하다는 장점을 갖는다.
