Tunnel lighting design and operation are both regulated based on luminance in and out of Korea these days. However, domestic tunnel lighting is operated by internal lighting depending on external brightness by using an illuminometer applying the conversion factor on luminance. The purpose of tunnel lighting is to alleviate the visual shock occurring from the rapid change from external brightness to internal brightness when entering a tunnel. However, when looking at the tunnels operated based on an illuminometer, it is not a system where the driver can measure the brightness within his or her viewing angle when entering the tunnel. It is general to install and operate the illuminometer on the roof of an administrative office near the tunnel; however, this method is not structured to connect with the internal lighting by checking the brightness of the viewing scope of the driver, thus is not structured to properly apply the viewing conditions of the driver. Rather, it should be in a method for extracting the luminance value within the viewing scope of the driver pursuant to tunnel lighting standards and in connection with internal lighting. This research seeks to find the difference between operations based on luminance and operations based on intensity of Illuminance in road tunnels through field measuring, and to suggest the necessity of operating based on luminance with the resulting value.

현재 교통사고의 원인은 차량 결함보다 운전자의 과실에 의한 것이 더 높은 사고 원인으로 나타나고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 운전자의 신체적 상태를 관찰, 분석하여 현재 상태를 추정 및 경고해 줄 수 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 이러한 운전자 상태 추정 시스템을 개발하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 실시간 비전 시스템을 사용하여 운전자 두 눈동자의 중심점과 크기, 입의 양 끝 모서리 점을 추적하여 얻어진 정보들을 기본적으로 이용한다. 움직임의 추적을 위해 얼굴인식이 필요하며, 인식은 YUV 컬러 공간에서 눈과 입, 얼굴의 색상 정보를 통계학적 방법에 기초하여 설계하고, 얼굴의 기하학적 모델에 의해 이루어진다. 이 시스템을 이용함으로써 운전자의 움직임에 의한 모든 회전 방향을 구분하고, 눈과 입이 차단되는 현상을 차단 모델에 의해 검출할 수 있다. 또한 눈이 감기거나 떠진 상태를 검출하여, 눈의 3차원 시선을 복원한다. 부주의한 운전과 졸음운전을 각각 정의하고 눈동자의 크기 변화 등에 의해 구분하며, 내장형 PC를 기반으로 카메라 시스템, 영상 데이터 처리 장치 및 상태 추정 알고리즘을 구현한 실험 시스템을 구현하여 제안된 신체 상태 추정 방법의 타당성과 성능을 검토한다.

Due to the car's central role in modern life, the industry has become more fiercely competitive, with each manufacturer doing everything it can to attract buyers with features like plush interiors, comprehensive warranties, and helpful customer service departments. Customers may not have the luxury of buying a new car, so they will have to buy a used car. Nevertheless, in most cases, the customer (car driver) may be deceived about the vehicle information and history and thus will be confused in making his/her decision to purchase. In addition, after all attempts to obtain vehicle information (plate number, model, year of manufacture, number of maintenance times, accidents, etc.), the customer's many attempts may fail. In general, the government records and verifies the information of all cars, even those that pass through their borders. However, there might still be some trouble in obtaining this information. From this standpoint, we will design a website that makes it easier for car drivers, car companies and governments to carry out all the above-mentioned processes. It will also allow users, whether a driver or a car company, to inquire about all vehicle information through detailed and integrated reports on its condition since its entry into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia until the present time, in addition to information supported by numbers and statistics to ensure the integrity and reliability of the information. This platform will save the trouble of searching for car information for drivers and car companies. It will also help governments keep track of the information of all cars entering and leaving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which will contribute to facilitating the process of viewing the history of any car that has previously entered the Kingdom's borders.

The purposes of this research and development are as follows: first, to provide pleasant driving environments inside tunnels; second, to improve the current illumination environments lacking in diffusion luminance meters to meet tunnel lighting standards; and, third, to reduce the consumption of tunnel lighting energy accounting for approximately 65% of tunnel maintenance costs because of inadequate visual environments and tunnel operations. Further details are listed below. Firstly, an image luminance meter for tunnels that can implement the L20-method which is a tunnel luminance method that follows the international standards of CIE88, which was developed in order to improve and change the existing illumination-based tunnel lighting operation system to a luminance-based system. (The margin of error of below 5% according to the results of a test by an authorized agency and field test). Secondly, early illumination control is possible since the lighting control system that can be operated based on luminance enables interlocking control of the inside and outside of a tunnel using ethernet communication. Thirdly, guidelines for field application of the system are proposed. In addition, the luminance inducers of tunnels are found and the reflexibility of each facility that may reduce luminance of the boundaries is also proposed. Fourthly, as a result of a test bed, power consumption of luminance-based lighting operations decreased by 15.6% compared to illumination-based operations. Applying the feedback controls and maintenance factors of internal/external luminance meters, it reduced by 36.4%. Therefore, we became able to provide a luminance-based lighting operation system that complies with tunnel lighting design standards and provides a visual environment for drivers.
