PURPOSES : While road networks are becoming increasingly complex, traffic signs are being indiscriminately installed and operated, which makes drivers who depend on traffic signs to reach their destination confused and unable to understand road information efficiently. In order to promptly and exactly guide road users to their destinations, traffic signs should be able to satisfy the functions of connectivity, visibility, and location suitability. However, the results of a site survey shows that most of the traffic signs currently installed in the Jeollanam-do Province do not satisfy these functions. METHODS : This study analyzed the problems of traffic signs after an actual site survey and focused on a total on 9,353 traffic signs and 70 road routes in Jeollanam-do Province. RESULTS : This study analyzed the problems of traffic signs based on their required functions (connectivity, visibility, suitability) and suggested improvements by establishing a guide system that considered the problems found in the study. CONCLUSIONS : The guide system can be utilized as a basic material that provides efficient road information for future installation and maintenance of traffic signs in Jeollanam-do Province.

The paper presents an approach for recognizing the broken area of the traffic signs. The method is based on the Recognition System for Traffic Signs (RSTS). This paper describes an approach to using the location histogram matching for the broken traffic signs recognition, after the general process of the image detection and image categorization. The recognition proceeds by using the SIFT matching to adjust the acquired image to a standard position, then the histogram bin will be compared preprocessed image with reference image, and finally output the location and percents value of the broken area. And between the processing, some preprocessing like the blurring is added in the paper to improve the performance. And after the reorganization, the program can operate with the GPS for traffic signs maintenance. Experimental results verified that our scheme have a relatively high recognition rate and a good performance in general situation.

최근 도로시설물의 신설, 도로명 안내표지와 같은 새로운 표지의 설치, 중요시설물의 증가로 도로표지에 대한 각종 민원들이 발생하고 있다. 도로표지관련규정과 부합하지 않는 표지들 또한 상당수 포함되어 있어 도로표지가 기본적으로 지향하는 안내지명 연계성, 위치 적합성, 일관된 도로표지 안내체계가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 일반국도 8개 노선상의 방향표지, 이정표지, 경계표지, 노선표지 등 주요 표지를 대상으로 각종 오류사항들에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한, 오류표지들에 대한 정비 우선순위를 매기기 위해 등급별로 분류하였으며, 노선별 오류표지의 현황과 등급별 오류표지의 현황을 종합적으로 분석하였다. 분석된 자료를 기반으로 하여 도로표지가 안고 있는 전반적인 문제점을 도출하여 이에 대한 개선방안을 도출하였다. 향후 본 연구를 기반으로 하여 정부와 지방자치단체의 협력을 통해 도로표지를 보다 체계적으로 설치 및 관리가 이루어지면, 도로표지 담당자들의 업무효율성 증대는 물론 도로이용자에게 안전하고 편리한 도로표지 안내체계가 확립될 수 있을 것이다.

이 논문은 유비쿼터스화된 도시에서 건물 및 상점, 도로표지판 등에 부착된 RFID 태그를 이용한 위치정보를 획득하는 방법과, 이를 이용하여 위치기반 서비스를 실시할 수 있는 응용 시스템 및 이의 방안을 제시하고 있다. 기존의 GPS를 이용한 위치정보 획득은 신호를 보내는 인공위성의 지리적 변화에 의하여 정확도가 떨어지거나, 건물에 의한 음영지역, 실내, 지하 등과 같이 지역적 문제로 인하여 위치정보를 주지 못하는 경우가 있다. 그러므로 이 논문은 도시 인프라에 부착된 RFID 등에 위치정보를 식별할 수 있는 위치정보 식별자를 적용한 ULID(universal location identifier)를 제안하며 이를 이용한 위치정보 획득과 처리 방안을 제시한다. 제안된 ULID는 기존의 GPS 및 무선 네트워크를 사용할 때 발생할 수 있는 상기의 문제점을 해결하고, 태그를 통해 즉각적인 위치정보의 획득이 가능해 짐으로 현재 이동통신사에서 제공하고 있는 위치정보 게이트웨이 접근에 대한 비용을 지불하지 않는 장점이 있다.

Purpose: Signs that are installed at unnoticeable places or that disconnect before the destination can bring errors of location information delivery. Therefore, this study aims to find out the spatial relation between structure of space and signs in the perspective of visual exposure possibility, operating arrangement and assesment by applying spatial structure theory. Methods: Effectiveness of organization of guidance signs was evaluated after the four way-finding factors(Plan Configuration, Sign System, Perceptual Access, Architectural Difference) that G.D.Weisman suggested were interpreted by spatial structure theory(J-Graph analysis, Space Syntax, Visual Graph Analysis) under the premise that it is closely related to the structure of space. Results: 1) Because the south corridor that connects each department of outpatient division is located in the hierarchy center of the space, and walking density is expected to be high, guidance signs need to be organized at the place with high integration value. 2) The depth to the destination space can be estimated through J-Graph analysis. The depth means a switch of direction, and the guidance signs are needed according to the number. 3) According to visibility graph analysis, visual exposure can be different in the same hierarchy unit space according to the shape of the flat surface. Based on these data, location adjustment of signs is possible, and the improvement effect can be estimated quantitatively. Implications: Spatial structure theory can be utilized to design and evaluate sign systems, and it helps to clearly understand the improvement effect. It is desirable to specify design and estimation of sign systems in the order of J-Graph analysis${\rightarrow}$Space Syntax Theory${\rightarrow}$visibility graph analysis.

도로표지는 도로 이용자를 위한 시설물로서 관리 및 유지보수의 편의성 증진을 위해 국토교통부에서는 관리시스템을 구축하여 운영 중에 있다. 향후 자율주행 시대에 도로표지의 역할은 감소하겠지만 그 필요성은 지속되고 있다. 이에 도로표지에 표기된 안내지명의 정확한 기계적 판독을 위해 도로표지 자동인식 장비를 개발하여 영상 기반의 문자 인식 기술을 적용하고 있지만 불규칙적인 규격과 수작업 제조, 조도, 빛반사, 강우 등 외부환경에 의해 오인식되는 경우가 다수 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 영상 분석 등으로 극복할 수 없는 오인식 결과를 개선하기 위해 위치기반의 안내지명 후보를 도출하여 기준으로 하고, 오인식된 지명의 음소 분리를 통한 레벤슈타인 문자 유사도 검증 방법을 이용해 도로표지 안내지명 자동인식율을 개선하고자 하였다.

This study analyzed problems of interpretive signs along Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail on Mt. Hallasan National Park, focusing on factors of distracting visitor's attention from reading and understanding the signs. Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail has a total of 86 signs, and according to their purpose and content, they are classified into thirteen general signs, sixteen location signs, nine safety signs and forty-eight interpretive signs. Interpretive signs provide visitors with information and explanations about the nature and human resources of Mt. Hallasan as well as enhancing the opportunity for self-guided interpretation. The contents of interpretive signs of Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail are composed of landscapes, flora and fauna, topography, geology, history and culture, of which 70.8% of the total are related to plants and animals. Interpretive signs on the Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail do not attract visitors' attention because of the low readability, inappropriate locations and frequent errors in translation from Korean into other languages. The causes of low readability of interpretive signs include thirty-six physically damaged and faded signs, twenty-two improper font sizes and misuse of color schemes and five unclear description signs. The reasons for the incorrect locations include twenty-two long distances from the trails, twenty-one inadequate heights and fifteen inconsistencies in descriptions and locations. Problems with English use include eight grammar and spelling errors, twenty-one incorrect translations, and twenty-six English names missing.

There are many methods for measuring the difference between two location parameters. In this paper, statistics are proposed in order to estimate the difference of two location parameters. The statistics are designed not using the means, variances, signs and ranks, but with the cumulative distribution functions. Hence these are measured as the differences in the area between two univariate cumulative distribution functions. It is found that the difference in the area between two empirical cumulative distribution functions is the difference of two sample means, and its integral is also the difference of two population means.

This paper describes a self-localization method for the mobile robot using panoramic view images. A panoramic view image has the information of location of the objects from the viewer robot and direction between the objects at a position. Among the sequence of panoramic view images, the target objects in the image like traffic signs, facade of a building, road signs, etc. locate in the real world so that robot´s position and direction deliver to localize from his view. With the previously captured panoramic images, the method calculates the distance and direction of the region of interest, corresponds the regions between the sequences, and identifies the location in the world. To obtain the region, vertical edge line segments

In this study, the effectiveness of the warning signs was investigated. n order to survey, adult men and women surveyed 131 peoples. Findings are as follows. Warning level, warning statements, warning size, warning location, warning color is influenced consumers' perception level. However, the location of warning labels, the number of alerts, warnings, symbol type, fonts had no impact on the level of perception. In addition, Awareness have a positive impact on repurchase intention and recommend intention.
