    SMART Highway

    Opening the future of high-tech road transport system


    by Korea Expressway Corporation

    The Development of Ubiquitous


    Transport Environment
    Since the ITS (Intelligent Transport System)
    development plan that the presidential
    investment plan group started to review
    in April 1993 and confirmed in September
    1997, ITS has been developed rapidly.
    The optimization of traffic management,
    electronic toll collection, real-time traffic
    information and advanced public transportation are the main subjects of ITS studies.
    Those technologies are already adopted
    and used for Hi-Pass, BIS (Bus Information
    System), Automated Enforcement System,
    Navigators, TPEG, and so on. The concept
    of 'Ubiquitous' that means 'anywhere,
    anytime or simultaneous' is being widely
    spreaded in transportation system of the
    21st century, so called U-Transportation.
    The environmental changes also made the
    ITS field become 'Ubiquitous'. now 'Ubiquitous' puts various technologies together
    and the end-users' decision greatly influences building the entire system.

    R&D", and pushed ahead with VC-10 projects, including the Smart Highway R&D
    project.
    The purpose of Smart Highway R&D Project
    is to develop safer and more convenient
    highways by means of converging the higly
    advanced road technologies, IT communication technologies and automobile technologies for the next generation. For 7 years
    from October 2007 to July 2014, approximately 400 researchers from 68 institutes
    have been participating in the project with
    the total budget of 80 million USD under the
    slogan: "World Best Smart Highway".

    Structure of Smart Highway project


    Smart Highway project is composed with
    the road technology part in the hardware
    field, the intellectual technology parts,
    such as communicational traffic management technologies and automotive
    technologies, and the verification part for

    Eco-friendly Energy Utilization

    Safe Driving in Bad weather

    Auto detection

    Initiation and Smart Highway


    To keep up with the trend, the Ministry of
    Land and Transport devised "Innovation

    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.
