The traffic information server 300 interoperates with the information storage server 400 based on the personal information transmitted from the user terminal 100 or the service terminal 200 to determine whether a pedestrian has a disability and a disability type including an elderly person. After determining, the optimal traffic information suitable for the type of obstacle is searched and provided to the corresponding terminal (100,200). At this time, the traffic information server 300 provides the searched traffic information to the user terminal in the form of voice or video according to the determined pedestrian's disability type. For example, when the pedestrian is visually impaired, the traffic information is provided through voice, so that the optimal traffic information may be provided considering the pedestrian's disability type. At this time, the traffic information server provides not only the optimal route according to pedestrian walking, but also provides information on public transportation routes when a pedestrian requests a service at a bus stop, etc. To adjust the pedestrian spacing accordingly.

Next, a traffic information providing system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

That is, the traffic information providing system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as an implementation example in a service area provided with a plurality of sensors 900 to recognize the pedestrian, the personal information of the pedestrian is stored, the service An information storage module 600 for providing personal information stored in the terminal; A traffic information server 700 for identifying and providing optimal traffic information according to the type of pedestrian; And an information storage server 800 for providing the stored information to the traffic information server 700.

The information storage module 600 is mounted on the card, belongings, cane, and mobile terminal, and is stored through the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) method when the sensor 900 is in proximity to the sensor 900. Provide personal information to the sensor 900.

The traffic information server 700 determines whether a pedestrian has a disability and a disability type including an elderly person in association with the information storage server 480 based on the personal information transmitted from the sensor 900, and determines the result of the determination. Reflect and adjust the traffic light system of the area where the pedestrian is located. For example, the sensor 900 installed at the crosswalk detects the pedestrians of the disabled or the elderly and keeps the walking signal until the walking is completed, and when the walking end is detected through the sensor 900, the walking signal blinks. do. In this case, when the pedestrian is visually impaired, the traffic light system control situation is guided through voice.

Hereinafter, a traffic information providing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. 3 and 4 are flowcharts illustrating a traffic information providing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a traffic information providing method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. .

First, a traffic information providing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

First, the traffic information server receives the user's destination information and personal information (S100). Preferably, the user terminal 100 receives the destination information from the user and transmits the destination information to the traffic information server along with the stored personal information. On the other hand, in the case of using the service terminal 200, as shown in Figure 4, the user information storage module 500, the stored individual through the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) method The information is transmitted (S110). Thereafter, the service terminal 200 receives the personal information, receives the destination information from the pedestrian, and transmits the destination information to the traffic information server 300 together with the personal information (S120-S130).

Thereafter, the traffic information server 300 determines whether there is an obstacle based on the received personal information in association with the information storage server 400 (S200).

Then, when the traffic information server 300 determines that the pedestrian's obstacle is determined, the traffic information server 300 determines the type of the pedestrian's obstacle in cooperation with the information storage server 400 (S300).

Then, the traffic information server 300 grasps the traffic information to the destination corresponding to the obstacle type (S400), and provides the identified traffic information to the pedestrian (S500). Preferably, the traffic information server 300 provides the searched traffic information to the user terminal in the form of voice or video according to the determined pedestrian's disability type. For example, when the pedestrian is visually impaired, the traffic information is provided through voice, so that the optimal traffic information may be provided considering the pedestrian's disability type. In this case, the traffic information server 300 provides not only the optimal path according to the type of obstacle of the pedestrian, but also the public transportation line information when the pedestrian requests a service at a bus stop, and the like, in connection with the relevant public transportation company to board the disabled. Adjust the bus operation time accordingly, and provide the pedestrian interval adjustment information accordingly.

Next, a traffic information providing method according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

First, when the user information storage module 600 for storing the personal information of the pedestrian is approached to the sensor 900 is installed (S100). Preferably, the information storage module 600 is mounted on a card or mobile terminal possessed by the pedestrian, and stored through the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) method when approaching the sensor 900. Provide personal information to the sensor 900.

Thereafter, the sensor 900 transmits the personal information received from the user information storage module 600 to the traffic information server (S200), and the received traffic information server 700 interworks with the information storage server 800. By determining the presence or absence of the disorder based on the received personal information (S300).

Then, when the traffic information server 700 determines that the pedestrian's obstacle is determined, the traffic information server 700 determines the type of the pedestrian's obstacle in cooperation with the information storage server 800 (S400).

Then, the traffic information server adjusts the traffic light system of the corresponding area where the pedestrian is located by reflecting the obstacle type of the pedestrian (S500). For example, the sensor 900 installed at the crosswalk detects a person's departure of a person with a disability or an elderly person, maintains a walking signal until the walking is completed, and ends the walking signal when the walking end is detected through the sensor 900. . In this case, when the pedestrian is visually impaired, the traffic light system control situation is guided through voice.

As can be seen from the above, the traffic information providing system and method according to the present invention can provide the adjustment time according to the boarding of the service target person, including the disabled, senior citizens and the corresponding adjustment information, and the service By recognizing the target person, the signal system can be adjusted to the walking speed, and by providing a barrier-free route to the destination, it is possible to build an integrated traffic information service service centering on various service targets. .
