A traffic detection system is a device that collects traffic information around an intersection. Most existing traffic detection systems provide very limited traffic information for signal control due to the restriction of vehicle detection area. A signal control scheme determines the transition among signal phases and the time that a phase lasts for. However, the existing signal control scheme do not resolve the traffic congestion effectively since they use restricted traffic information. In this paper, a new traffic detection system with a zone division signal control scheme is proposed to provide correct and detail traffic information and decrease the vehicle's waiting time at the intersection. The traffic detection system obtains traffic information in a way of vehicle-to-roadside communication between vehicles and sensor network. A new signal control scheme is built to exploit the sufficient traffic information provided by the proposed traffic detection system efficiently. Simulation results show that the proposed signal control scheme has 121 % and 56 % lower waiting time and delay time of vehicles at an intersection than other fuzzy signal control scheme.

This paper proposes a new method of the traffic signal detection and the recognition in an HSI color model. The proposed method firstly converts a ROI image in the RGB model to in the HSI model to segment the color of a traffic signal. Secondly, the segmented colors are dilated by the morphological processing to connect the traffic signal light and the signal light case and finally, it extracts the traffic signal light and the case by the aspect ratio using the connected component analysis. The extracted components show the detection and the recognition of the traffic signal lights. The proposed method is implemented using C language in Raspberry Pi 4 system with a camera module for a real-time image processing. The system was fixedly installed in a moving vehicle, and it recorded a video like a vehicle black box. Each frame of the recorded video was extracted, and then the proposed method was tested. The results show that the proposed method is successful for the detection and the recognition of traffic signals.

As an essential part of the urban transportation system, precise perception of the traffic flow parameters at the traffic signal intersection ensures traffic safety and fully improves the intersection's capacity. Traditional detection methods of road traffic flow parameter can be divided into the micro and the macro. The microscopic detection methods include geomagnetic induction coil technology, aerial detection technology based on the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and camera video detection technology based on the fixed scene. The macroscopic detection methods include floating car data analysis technology. All the above methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Recently, indoor location methods based on wireless signals have attracted wide attention due to their applicability and low cost. This paper extends the wireless signal indoor location method to the outdoor intersection scene for traffic flow parameter estimation. In this paper, the detection scene is constructed at the intersection based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging technology extracted from the wireless signal. We extracted the RSSI data from the wireless signals sent to the road side unit (RSU) by the vehicle nodes, calibrated the RSSI ranging model, and finally obtained the traffic flow parameters of the intersection entrance road. We measured the average speed of traffic flow through multiple simulation experiments, the trajectory of traffic flow, and the spatiotemporal map at a single intersection inlet. Finally, we obtained the queue length of the inlet lane at the intersection. The simulation results of the experiment show that the RSSI ranging positioning method based on wireless signals can accurately estimate the traffic flow parameters at the intersection, which also provides a foundation for accurately estimating the traffic flow state in the future era of the Internet of Vehicles.

This paper proposes a new method of traffic signal detection and recognition in an RGB color model. The proposed method firstly processes RGB-filtering in order to detect traffic signal candidates. Secondly, it performs adaptive threshold processing and then analyzes connected components of the binary image. The connected component of a traffic signal has to be satisfied with both a bounding box rate and an area rate that are defined in this paper. The traffic signal recognition system is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithms are quite successful.

본 논문에서는 YOLO(You Only Look Once) 기반의 교통 신호등 인식을 통해 오토바이 운전자의 신호 위반 여부를 확인하는 기술을 제안하고자 한다. 오토바이 전면에 탑재될 하드웨어 모듈은 YOLO 기반의 객체 탐지를 위한 카메라 모듈과 라즈베리 파이, 신호 위반 시 오토바이의 현재 위치 정보 수집을 위한 GPS 모듈, 그리고 수집 정보를 클라우드 DB로 전송하는 LoRa 통신 모듈로 구성된다. 소프트웨어 기능의 핵심은 오토바이의 교통 신호 위반 여부를 판단하는 컴포넌트이다. 본 논문에서는 카메라 앵글 내에 있는 교통 신호등 객체를 먼저 인식한 후 빨간색 신호일 때에만 이 객체가 화면 상에서 오른쪽(좌회전의 경우)이나 위쪽(직진의 경우)으로 사라지면 신호 위반으로 판단하는 기능을 제안한다. 그리고, 오토바이 운전자가 신호를 위반한 것으로 판단되면 운전자의 신상 정보(이름, 휴대폰 번호 등), 오토바이 정보(번호판, 등록번호 등), 위반 상황의 스냅샷 사진, 위치 정보 및 날짜/시각 정보를 클라우드 DB로 전달하도록 한다. 이러한 위반 정보는 운전자의 스마트폰에 푸시 알림으로 전달하여 위반 사실을 인지하도록 하고, 관할 경찰서에서는 신호 위반 스티커를 발부하는 데 활용될 수 있으므로 궁극적으로는 오토바이 운전자의 교통 신호 위반을 사전에 방지할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: A traffic signal controller needs to control and coordinate to ensure that traffic and pedestrians move as smoothly as possible. Since a traffic signal controller has a significant impact on the safety of vehicles and pedestrians, it is important to monitor the failure and deterioration of the traffic signal controller. The purpose of this paper is to propose an IoT (Internet of Things)-based monitoring system for a traffic signal controller. Methods: Every traffic signal controller has a nominal system trajectory specified when it is deployed. The proposed IoT-based monitoring system collects the system trajectory information through real-time monitoring. By comparing the nominal system trajectory and the monitored system trajectory, we are able to detect the failure and deterioration of the traffic signal controller. Conclusion: The proposed IoT-based monitoring system can contribute to the safety of vehicles and pedestrians by maximizing the availability of a traffic signal controller.

실시간 교통정보 수집과 센터 온라인 신호제어를 기본기능으로 하는 경찰청 교통신호제어기 표준규격서가 개발되어 2005년 3월부터 발효되었다. 발표된 규격은 가로구간의 교통상황을 수집하고, 이를 관제센터에 전송하며, 적절한 교통상황별 신호시간을 부여받아 신호등을 제어하는 지능적인 교통신호기의 표준 사양과 기능을 주요 골자로 하고 있다. 과거의 교통신호기들은 부품이 호환되지 않고 제어기능과 통신방법이 상이하여 도시별로 호환되지 않았으며 유지관리의 시간적 경제적 비용을 증가시켰다. 또한 모순검지방법 등 일부 교통안전에 중요한 기능이 비합리적으로 사용되고 있었다. 본 규격에서는 이런 단점을 극복하기 위해 먼저 하드웨어 호환성을 확보하였다. 그리고 모순검지방법을 보완하였으며, 관제센터와의 통신규약을 규격에 포함하여 모든 도시의 센터에 호환되도록 하였다. 개발된 규격은 시제품 제작과 시험과정을 거쳐 결정되었다. 본 규격으로 제조자에 비 의존적인 유지보수체계가 가능해지며 저렴하고 빠른 고장 대응이 가능하다. 또한 일관된 정보처리 및 제어알고리즘이 적용되어 센터설치 업체의 지역선점효과가 점차 사라질 것이며, 지역별 교차로의 교통통제방법이 일원화되어 표준적이고 안전한 교통제어를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper suggests a method of detecting traffic lights for vehicles by combining the HSV(hue saturation value) color model, morphometric characteristics, and location information appearing on consecutive images in daytime. In order to detect the traffic light, the color corresponding to the signal lights should be explored. It is difficult to detect traffic lights among colors of lights from buildings, taillight of cars, leaves, placards, etc. The proposed algorithm searches for the traffic lights from many candidates using morphometric characteristics and location information in consecutive images. The recognition process is divided into three steps. The first step is to detect candidates after converting RGB channel into HSV color model. The second step is to extract the boundaries between the housing of traffic lights and background by exploiting the assumption that the housing has lower brightness than the surrounding background. The last step is to recognize the signal light after eliminating the false candidates using morphometric characteristics and location information appearing on consecutive images. This paper demonstrates successful detection results of traffic lights from various images captured on the city roads.
