Nowadays, Cars are continuing to grow at an alarming rate but they also cause many problems such as traffic accident, pollutions and so on. One of the most effective methods that prevent traffic accidents is the use of traffic monitoring systems, which are already widely used in many countries. The monitoring system is beginning to be used in domestic recently. An intelligent monitoring system generates photo images of cars as well as identifies cars by recognizing their plates. That is, the system automatically recognizes characters of vehicle plates. An automatic vehicle plate recognition consists of two main module: a vehicle plate locating module and a vehicle plate number identification module. We study for a vehicle plate number identification module in this paper. We use image preprocessing, feature extraction, multi-layer neural networks for recognizing characters of vehicle plates and we present a feature-comparison method for improving the performance of vehicle plate number identification module. In the experiment on identifying vehicle plate number, 300 images taken from various scenes were used. Of which, 8 images have been failed to identify vehicle plate number and the overall rate of success for our vehicle plate recognition algorithm is 98%.

본 논문에서는 차량의 식별마크 분류 및 차량번호판 인식을 통한 차량인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 먼저 입력 차량영상으로 부터 잡음제거, 세선화 과정 등 전처리 과정들을 수행하고 명암값 변화 빈도 분포를 사용하여 차량식별마크와 번호판 영역을 추출하였다. 또한 추출된 후보 영역으로부터 차량 식별마크와 번호판 영역의 구조적 특성 정보를 사용하여 차량 식별마크, 번호판의 문자 및 숫자를 분류하였으며, 하이브리드 패턴벡터 및 수직수평 패턴벡터를 사용하여 식별마크, 문자 및 숫자를 인식하여 차량 정보 인식율을 개선하였다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 차량의 식별마크가 차량의 종류에 따라 독립적인 특성, 식별마크와 번호판 영역에서는 문자와 배경이 뚜렷하게 구별되는 특성 및 수평 및 수직빈도수 분포가 식별마크 및 번호판 이외의 영역과 뚜렷이 구별된다는 특성들을 이용하였다. 제안한 방법의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 다양한 환경에서 촬영된 350여개의 영상에 대하여 차량인식 실험을 수행하였고 제안한 방법이 차량번호판의 크기와 위치에 무관하고 잡음의 영향에 덜 민감하였을 뿐만 아니라 불규칙적인 외부환경에서도 인식율이 개선되었다. 또한 식별마크와 번호판 인식의 실시간 처리가 가능하여 실제 주차장이나 도시화도로등에 적용이 가능하다.

This paper describes effectiveness of accident reduction on vehicles equipped with AEB using accident data occurring in Korea. During the statistical period, we used the number of vehicles which are covered by auto insurance and the number of accidents. To maximize the reduction effect of accidents caused by the driver's carelessness, the analysis was limited to Physical Damage Coverage that covers the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged vehicle caused by the driver's fault. Due to Personal Information Protection Law, it was not capable of comparing the same vehicle using Vehicle Identification Number in this study. Instead of that, we used it as a similar vehicle, so there are limits to the comparison and analysis results. As a result of this study, we have found that the effect of reducing accidents was different depending on the vehicle class, but it was generally concluded that the number of accidents decreased when the vehicle was equipped with an AEB system. Domestic research on the AEB effect of reducing accidents is not active yet. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to analyze the effects according to various conditions such as driver's age, occupation and gender as well as expanding the study models in the future.

This paper presents the motorcycle inspection standards development on the vehicle identification, engine and transmission, tyres and wheels, steering and suspension, and brake system. 187 real-world motorcycles are visually and mechanically inspected according to the developed inspection standards. The non-compliance rate of the vehicle identification is 20.3% and main causes are insecure, damaged, and not clearly visible number plate. The non-compliance rate of the brake system is 15.5% and main cause is failing to meet the brake performance requirements. The motorcycle inspections standards are improved reflecting 187 cases of real-world motorcycle inspection results.

In this paper, noticing the point of human's ability which appropriately cope with vague conditions, we design fuzzy traffic signal light controller similar to human's distinction ability and decide the optimum cycle most suited to any traffic junction using fuzzy identification algorithm. In this study, for the control output decision process we design fuzzy controller better than electronic vehicle actuated controller in performance. We propose the cycle decision method which is not limited by the variance of traffic junction vehicle number through overcoming the limit of Webster's method which is adopted by the fixed cycle controller. Simulated experimental results show that fuzzy controller and fuzzy identification algorithm are better than the existing electronic vehicle actuated controller and fixed cycle controller in delay time per vehicle.

본 연구에서는 Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs) 기법을 이용하여 차량 번호판을 인식하는 방법을 제시하였다. 차량 번호판은 일반적으로 차량의 공식 식별 목적으로 사용됩니다. 대부분의 일반적인 광학 문자 인식(OCR) 기술은 문서에 인쇄된 문자를 인식하는 데는 효과적이지만 번호판의 등록 번호는 식별할 수 없다. 그리고 번호판 감지에 대한 기존 접근 방식에서는 차량이 움직이지 않고 정지해 있어야 한다. 번호판 감지에 대한 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 CNN 기법을 활용한 번호판 인식 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 획득된 차량 번호판 이미지의 데이터베이스를 생성하고 CNN 기법을 활용하여 자동차 번호판 문자를 인식한다. 본 연구의 결과는 주차관리 시스템과 단속 카메라 등에 유용하게 활용 될 수 있다.

Modal parameters are widely used in bridge damage detection, finite element model (FEM) updating and design optimization. However, the conventional modal identification approaches require large number of sensors, enormous data processing workload, but normally result in mode shapes with low accuracy. This paper proposes a modal identification method of time-varying vehicle-bridge system using a single sensor. Firstly, the essential physical relationship between the instantaneous frequency of the vehicle-bridge system and the bridge mode shapes are derived. Subsequently, based on the synchroextracting transform, the instantaneous frequency of the system is tracked through the dynamic response collected by a single sensor, and further the modal parameters are estimated by using the derived physical relationship. Then numerical and experimental examples are conducted to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, the modal parameters identified by the proposed method are applied in bridge FEM updating. The results manifest that the proposed method identifies the modal parameters with high accuracy via a single sensor, and can provide reliable data for the FEM updating.

This paper presents a theoretical algorithm for constructing the mode shapes of a bridge from the dynamic responses of a test vehicle moving over the bridge. In comparison with those approaches that utilize a limited number of sensors deployed on the bridge, the present approach can offer much more spatial information, as well as higher resolution in mode shapes, since the test vehicle can receive the vibration characteristics of each point during its passage on the bridge. Basically only one or few sensors are required to be installed on the test vehicle. Factors that affect the accuracy of the present approach for constructing the bridge mode shapes are studied, including the vehicle speed, random traffic, and road surface roughness. Through numerical simulations, the present approach is verified to be feasible under the condition of constant and low vehicle speeds.

The moving vehicle loads on a bridge deck is one of the most important live loads of bridges. They should be understood, monitored and controlled before the bridge design as well as when the bridge is open for traffic. A MOM-based algorithm (MOMA) is proposed for identifying the timevarying moving vehicle loads from the responses of bridge deck in this paper. It aims at an acceptable solution to the ill-conditioning problem that often exists in the inverse problem of moving force identification. The moving vehicle loads are described as a combination of whole basis functions, such as orthogonal Legendre polynomials or Fourier series, and further estimated by solving the new system equations developed with the basis functions. A number of responses have been combined, some numerical simulations on single axle, two axle and multiple-axle loads, being either constant or timevarying, have been carried out and compared with the existing time domain method (TDM) in this paper. The illustrated results show that the MOMA has higher identification accuracy and robust noise immunity as well as producing an acceptable solution to ill-conditioning cases to some extent when it is used to identify the moving force from bridge responses.
