IoT 기반의 농촌지역 농업기계 관련 교통사고 안전 시스템 설계에 관한 연구

Objective: This study proposed an IoT-based traffic safety management system appropriate for the environment as a whole and specifically roads in rural area. Background: A recent increase in agricultural machine-related traffic accidents resulting from a rapid rise in motorized agricultural machines has become an important issue in rural societies. The mortality rate of agricultural-related traffic accidents is very high and such accidents incur loss of labor force and a lot of costs, and therefore measures to reduce such accidents are required. Method: This study analyzed the types of agricultural machine-related traffic accidents aimed at designing an agricultural machine-related traffic safety system appropriate for topographic characteristics of rural areas, and presented an effective agricultural machine-related traffic accident prevention system using IoT technology. Results: This study proposed a traffic safety maintenance system utilizing IoT technology to connect between terminals installed on agricultural machines and terminals for providing traffic information, and designed the structure of the system, its communication method, hardware and software, and user interface. Besides, this study presented a real-time monitoring system that senses agricultural machine-related machine accidents and makes it possible to rapidly cope with them. Conclusion: The IoT-based traffic safety system for agricultural machines proposed by this study is expected to become an effective measure to prevent agricultural machine-related traffic accidents. Application: The results of this study will be able to be utilized to construct a system to keep traffic safety via IoT-based agricultural machines.
