Vehicular license plate (LP) recognition system has risen as a significant field of research recently because various explorations are currently being conducted by the researchers to cope with the challenges of LPs which include different illumination and angular situations. This research focused on restricted conditions such as using image of only one vehicle, stationary background, no angular adjustment of the skewed images. A real time vehicular LP recognition scheme is proposed for the skewed images for detection, segmentation and recognition of LP. In this research, a polar co-ordinate transformation procedure is implemented to adjust the skewed vehicular images. Besides that, window scanning procedure is utilized for the candidate localization that is based on the texture characteristics of the image. Then, connected component analysis (CCA) is implemented to the binary image for character segmentation where the pixels get connected in an eight-point neighbourhood process. Finally, optical character recognition is implemented for the recognition of the characters. For measuring the performance of this experiment, 300 skewed images of different illumination conditions with various tilt angles have been tested. The results show that proposed method able to achieve accuracy of 96.3% in localizing, 95.4% in segmenting and 94.2% in recognizing the LPs with an average localization time of 0.52s.

무선 센서 네트워크는 최근 대두되고 있는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 연구에 힘입어, 광범위하게 설치되어 있는 유무선 네트워크 인프라에 상황인지를 위한 다양한 센서 디바이스를 결합하여 감지된 환경 데이터를 응용서비스와 연동하는 기술이다. 기본적으로 홈/빌딩 시큐리티, 사회기반 안전시설, 기계의 고장 진단, 의료 분야 등의 실세계의 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 다루고자하는 실종 아동에 대한 문제는 어제 오늘의 이야기가 아니다. 미아 발생률은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며 장기 미아의 발생 역시 증가하고 있다. 따라서 미아 방지를 위해 새로운 서비스들이 소개되었으나 이용자의 경제적 비용 부담 증가와 같은 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 미아 찾기 시스템은 무선 센서 네트워크 기술 응용 중의 하나로서 미아가 발생 시에 아동이 장기 미아가 되지 않도록 효율적이면서도 빠르게 미아를 찾을 수 있도록 하기 위해서 개발되었다. RFID 리더기가 장착된 고정형 센서 노드와 이동형 센서노드가 RFID 태그를 지닌 아동의 정보를 얻어서 중앙 제어 서버로 데이터를 넘기면 태그 정보와 전송한 센서 노드의 위치, 전송 시간을 바탕으로 아동의 위치를 파악할 수가 있다. 미아 찾기 시스템은 이용자가 태그만을 지니면 되기 때문에 경제적 부담은 줄어 들 수 있다. 또한 상기 시스템으로 미아 찾기만이 아니라 주변 환경 감시등의 여러 응용에도 적용 시킬 수가 있다.

현재 국내 ITS는 현장장비 유지관리에 대한 연구 및 고장관련 DB가 부족하여 예비부품수 및 교체시기 산정에 대한 규정이 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 실제 고장이력자료를 갖고 신뢰성 분석을 실시하여 단거리전용통신(DSRC)방식 노변기지국(RSE)의 예비부품수 및 교체시기를 산정하였다. 전체 수집기간동안의 고장자료는 욕조곡선의 형상을 나타내어 우발고장기간의 자료로 신뢰성 분석을 실시하였으나 고장 수명 분포 중 적합되는 분포가 없었다. 따라서, i)장비가동률과 ii)경험적(empirical) 누적분포함수(CDF) 곡선을 이용한 장비의 고장률(건/일)을 감안하여 예비부품수를 산정한 결과 16.22개 이상의 노변기지국(완제품)을 확보하여야 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 하자보수기간(2년)이 지난후 일정기간($2{\sim}3$년)이 지난 시점에서 향후 10년간에 대하여 수리하면서 사용하는 경우와 신품구입시의 총비용을 비교하여 산정한 교체시기는 10.67건/40개월 이상이다. 본 연구 수행결과 첫째, 비모수적 방법으로 적합도 검정을 실시하지 못하였다는 한계와, 둘째, 초기에 고장이 많이 발생하는 장비는 향후에도 고장이 많이 발생한다는 가정에 기반하여 향후 10년의 운영비용을 분석하였으나 이러한 가정을 입증하지는 못하였다. 따라서, 향후엔 본 연구에 사용된 자료가 고장 수명분포도 적합 되지 않은 원인을 분석하는 것과 분석대상 기간 이후의 자료를 추가하여 적합도 검정 및 신뢰성 분석을 실시하는 것이 필요하다.

In recent years, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Autonomous Vehicle Technology have actively studied around the world. In order to achieve the purpose of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle Technology, it must be obtained accurate and reliable positioning. However, the problem of positioning in the urban area is a low position accuracy caused by the reduction of the number of visible satellites due to high buildings. In this paper, we analyzed the availability of precise positioning system in urban area are using GPS/BDS integrated system. For this study, GPS and BDS satellite signals were collected using two low-cost receivers in the open sky and a designed software based platform for precise positioning performance analysis. And we analyzed the precise positioning performance by changing the mask angle considering the urban area. From the results, it can be confirmed that the performance of precise positioning of GPS only and BDS only decrease in the environment where mask angle is $40^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$, however, GPS/BDS integrated system maintains high performance of precise positioning.

Road sign is an important street furniture that gives some information such as road conditions, driving direction and condition for a driver. Thus, road sign is a major target of image recognition for self-driving car, ADAS(autonomous vehicle and intelligent driver assistance systems), and ITS(intelligent transport systems). In this paper, an enhanced road sign recognition system is proposed for MMS(Mobile Mapping System) using the single camera and GPS. For the proposed system, first, a road sign recognition scheme is proposed. this scheme is composed of detection and classification step. In the detection step, object candidate regions are extracted in image frames using hybrid road sign detection scheme that is based on color and shape features of road signs. And, in the classification step, the area of candidate regions and road sign template are compared. Second, a Geo-marking scheme for geo-content that is consist of road sign image and coordinate value is proposed. If the serious situation such as car accident is happened, this scheme can protect geographical information of road sign against illegal users. By experiments with test video set, in the three parts that are road sign recognition, coordinate value estimation and geo-marking, it is confirmed that proposed schemes can be used for MMS in commercial area.

Many ITS services require map databases in digital form to meet desired needs. Due to the dynamic nature of ITS and the sheer diversity of applications, the design and development of spatial databases to meet those needs pose a major challenge to both the public and private sectors. This challenge is further complicated by the necessity to transfer locationally referenced information between different kinds of databases and spatial data handling systems so that ITS products will work seamlessly across the region and nation. The Purpose of this paper is to develop the framework-models commonly to reference locations in the various applications and systems-the ITS Map Datum and LRS(Location Referencing System). The ITS Map Datum consists of the around control points which are the prime intersections (nodes) of the nationwide road network In this study, the major points have been determined along wish link-node modeling procedure. LRS, defined as a system for determining the position (location) of an entity relative to other entities or to some external frame of reference, has also been set up using CSOM type method. The method has been implemented using ArcView GIS software over the Kangnam and Seocho districts in the city of Seoul, showing that the implemented LRS scheme can be used successfully elsewhere. With the proper advent of the K.ITS architecture and services, the procedure can be used to improve the data sharing and to inter operate among systems, enhancing the efficiency both in terms of money and time.

Travel-time is considered the most typical and preferred traffic information for intelligent transportation systems(ITS). This paper proposes a real-time travel-time prediction method for a national highway. In this paper, the K-nearest neighbor(KNN) method is used for travel time prediction. The KNN method (a nonparametric method) is appropriate for a real-time traffic management system because the method needs no additional assumptions or parameter calibration. The performances of various models are compared based on mean absolute percentage error(MAPE) and coefficient of variation(CV). In real application, the analysis of real traffic data collected from Korean national highways indicates that the proposed model outperforms other prediction models such as the historical average model and the Kalman filter model. It is expected to improve travel-time reliability by flexibly using travel-time from the proposed model with travel-time from the interval detectors.

In this paper, an efficient Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) packet transmission scheme for railroad communication is proposed. WAVE communication is a wireless local area network (WLAN) based communication and it is developed to be suitable for vehicular communication. There has been a lot of study on WAVE's applicability to Intelligent Transport System (ITS). As one of main transportation methods, by using WAVE, quality of railroad communication including WLAN based Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) can be enhanced and variety of railroad communication systems can be integrated into WAVE. However, there are technical challenges to adopt WAVE in railroad communications. For the simplest single-PHY WAVE, time division alternation of 50ms between Control Channel (CCH) and Service Channel (SCH) is required. Since there are delay sensitive railroad traffic types, alternation operation of CCH and SCH may cause performance degradation. In this paper, after identifying a couple of problems based on detailed analysis, a novel packet transmission scheme under railroad environment is proposed. In order to verify if the proposed scheme meets the requirement of railroad communication, WAVE transmission is mathematically modeled.
