Abstract

Since year 2016, in Korea, the police department started to use drones to patrol violated vehicles on the highway area. They monitor vehicle drivers who use side ways on the highway during traffic congested hours of the season, drunken drivers, or violent drivers. They use the 'Spot Mobility' method which floats the drones for 30 minute period. However, this method is inefficient since it requires manually charging batteries, gathering data, and operate drones with many numbers of policeman. Therefore, in this paper, for the efficient patrol in this purpose, I have suggested an effectively manageable network system consists of many drones as the wireless network nodes and with small numbers of policeman in a wide highway area. To accomplish this, the two topologies of effective drone patrol network systems are designed and simulated in OPNET simulator for performance evaluation.

2016년 이후부터 경찰당국에서는 드론을 활용하여 고속도로 상에서의 교통위반 차량을 단속하기 시작했다. 경찰은 교통 혼잡이 야기되는 시간이나 시즌에 갓길을 사용하거나 음주운전, 난폭운전 등의 차량들을 감시한다. 지금까지는 30분 단위로 단속을 하는 '스팟 이동식' 방식을 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 방식은 많은 경찰인력이 각각의 드론을 충전하고 데이터를 수동으로 수집 및 분석해야하는 번거로움이 있기 때문에 매우 비효율적인 방식이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다수의 드론을 무선망으로 연결하여 넓은 지역의 고속도로 상에서 적은인력으로 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 효율적인 드론 패트롤 네트워크 시스템의 토폴로지를 OPNET 시뮬레이터로 디자인하고 성능을 평가하였다.
