According to the farmer damage survey, agricultural machinery-related damage accounts for the highest percentage of the total. Among them, tipping and falling accidents related to cultivators and tractors are the major types of accidents.

As the age of agricultural machine users increases due to the aging of the rural population, rapid response is required in the event of an agricultural machine-related accident.

However, most of the accidents that occur in relation to agricultural machinery occur when driving on narrow farm roads, sloped or curved roads, or when entering or exiting rice fields. Due to the characteristics of rural topography, fatal accidents frequently occur because it is difficult to detect early because it is difficult to detect an accident and help is not provided for accident measures.

In addition, as the incidence of collisions between vehicles and agricultural machines increases due to the rapid increase in the use of driving agricultural machines and the expansion of urban-rural complex areas, safety education, night reflectors, tail lights or Although measures such as attaching warning lights are proposed, there are limitations in effective accident prevention and emergency response in case of an accident.

Low-speed agricultural machinery is difficult to secure safety from a running vehicle, and it is difficult to be discovered from the surroundings in the event of a rollover or crash.

Accordingly, it is necessary to develop a more effective device to prevent a collision with a vehicle and to develop a warning light alarm device for agricultural machinery equipped with an accident prevention and accident detection function using ICT convergence technology.
