Focused On Intersections As A Traffic Scene To Be Covered By The System. After Data Was Exchanged Via FOMA In A Wide Area, Information Could Be Exchanged Between A Pedestrian And A Vehicle Via WLAN 20m, 100m Away From An Intersection To Different Directions In About 20ms. And, The System Could Give An Alarm To Pedestrians And Cars With Collision Risk.
