Abstract

In this paper, we propose a taxi safety support system using the beacon device to reduce the anxiety and increase the satisfaction of taxi passengers. At first, we design a USB-type low power beacon device that can be easily installed inside a taxi and propose a distance and estimation method using beacon signal strength. Mobile applications for passengers and drivers based on beacon signals are developed. The server operation program for situation recognition, position estimation, risk management and notification of the taxi passenger is also developed. An accident risk management method is proposed using the recognition of getting on and off of the taxi passenger. The proposed methods are verified for applicability and usefulness through practical experiments.

본 논문은 택시 탑승 불안감을 감소시키고 승객의 만족도를 증가시키기 위하여 비콘 단말기를 사용한 택시안심이용시스템을 제안하였다. 먼저 택시 내부에 간편하게 장착 할 수 있는 USB형태의 저전력 비콘 단말기를 설계하였으며, 비콘 신호세기를 이용한 거리 및 위치 추정 방법을 제안하였다. 비콘 신호를 기반으로 동작하는 승객 및 운전자의 모바일 어플리케이션을 개발하였으며, 택시 승객의 상황 인식, 위치 측위, 위험 관리 및 알림 등을 수행하는 중앙관제실의 서버용 운영프로그램도 개발하였다. 또한 택시 승객의 상하차 및 거리 인식을 통하여 사고 위험 관리 방법도 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법들은 실제 실험을 통해 적용 가능성과 유용성을 검증하였다.
