Smart Highway KSCE PDF

The document discusses the future of smart highways. It outlines several technologies being developed including smart tolling systems, vehicle abnormality detectors, lane departure prevention, WAVE communication, and auto vehicle control. It also mentions developing road condition sensing, minimizing traffic accidents in bad weather, and preventing freezing on roads. The goal is to connect roads and vehicles to create a safer driving environment. Technologies will be tested on test roads and demonstrated to specialists to verify performance before being adopted on existing roads. Smart highways are hoped to overcome current limitations and improve quality of life through convergence of transportation technologies.

commercialization.
The road technology part is to realize the
core values of Smart Highway so they
develop eco-friendly technologies like innovative sound absorbing wall and solar
powered facilities. Also, it includes the
R&D projects to minimize traffic accidents
by means of enhancing visible distance in
foggy weather and preventing or melting
freezing loads.
The communicational traffic management
part develops smart communication system and traffic management system that
enables two-way communication. Thus, it
includes Smart-I that detects unexpected
incidents in roads and notify the drivers
on the roads. Furthermore, they develop
multi-used base station and terminals that
accept various protocols like WAVE (Wire-

less Access in Vehicular Environments).


The Smart Tolling system is being developed for non-stop and multi-lane based
electronic toll collection, which will be able
to replace the current Hi-Pass system.
The automotive R&D part is to realize safe
driving environment by connecting roads
and vehicles so the researchers develop
the radar technologies to detect road
conditions like freezing, hydroplaning,
fallen objects and to warn drivers about
them. Also, they develop lane departure
warning system that uses highly precise
GPS (DGPS: Differential Global Positioning
System) and they develop the automatic
vehicle control system for emergencies.
Lastly, in the verification part, they establish and maintain the test site in order to
verify the results of studies and to promote them to the public. Therefore, they
can adopt the outputs of R&D to the exsting roads and verify the performance. Also
they are inspecting system checks for
development technology as well as conducting technology demonstration aimed
at specialist in related institutions, societies and media organizations.

Until now, although the road construction


contributed to industrial development of
the Republic of Korea, it also has negative
images due to traffic congestions, high
accident rate in the capital area. There
seems to be a limit to fulfill the demand
of users since their standard of living is
elevating.
In this situation, the Smart Highway will
overcome the internal limitation and improve the quality of life with the convergence of technologies in various fields.
Also, it will perform a role to lead the
national development as a new engine to
bring technological competitiveness for
future transportation system.
