Abstract
The roads in metro cities are very congested and interest in tram system has been increased as an alternative of new roads or metro construction, since heavy cost is expected to construct them. However, tram is always exposed to accident, since the tram share the roads with vehicles. Thus, it is important to enhance the safety of the tram for successful introduction of it. In this study, new 'smart sensing tram' was proposed to enhance the safety of the tram, and small scale model was developed. Several sensing technologies were used to detect the environmental factors, such as signal and obstacle around the tram, and control the tram. The performance of the proposed tram was verified by using the small scale experiments. From the results, reliable results can be obtained for signal and obstacle detection in the tests. For practical use of the proposed tram, it in necessary to investigate the performance of the tram in various environments as well as the tests in real scale tram.
