해양사고에 관한 많은 연구와 분석에 따르면 약 80%가 인적 오류에 의하여 발생되고 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 해양사고의 예방대책 수립을 수립하기 위하여 사고를 일으킨 배후 인적 요인을 파악하는 연구가 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구의 주목적은 m-SHEL 모델을 이용하여 해상교통 관련 사고의 배후 인적 요인을 파악하고 분석하는 것이다. 다른 분야에서 사용되는 m-SHEL 모델은 일반적인 인적 요인의 개념을 기반으로 되어 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 선박운항시스템에 수용하기 위하여 이 모델을 확장하여 인적 요인 을 정의하였다. 또한, 이 확장된 모델의 타당성을 SPSSWIN의 신뢰성 분석을 통하여 검증하였다. 그리고 이 확장된 m-SHEL 모델의 분류표 사용하여 해양안전심판원의 재결서에서 추출한 자료로부터 해상교통 관련 사고의 배후 인적 요인을 분석하였다. 해상교통 관련 사고의 배후 인적 요인을 분석한 결과 조선자 자신에 관한 요인 L이 가장 많았으며 다음으로 L-E, L-m, L-H, L-S 및 L-L 순으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 해상교통 관련 사고의 예방 및 해상안전관리시스템 구축을 위한 유용한 분석 결과를 제시함으로써 인적 요인에 의한 해상교통 관련 사고 방지에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES: The effects on traffic accidents change with the changing environment. Accordingly, this study analyzes the characteristics of traffic accidents based on the personal characteristics (gender and age) of drivers, and those of 25 autonomous districts in Seoul, and suggests improvements. METHODS: Based on data pertaining to traffic accidents in Seoul, the analysis of accident characteristics was conducted by categorizing the types of traffic accidents according to the drivers' gender and age, and characteristics of 25 autonomous districts in Seoul. Further, for statistical verification, the SPSS software was used to derive influence variables through a multinomial logistic regression analysis, and a method for reducing traffic accidents was proposed. RESULTS : Analysis results show that males tend to be more involved in speed-related accidents and females in low-experience drivingrelated accidents such as those during parking and alleyway driving. In addition, variables such as age, automobile type, district, and day of the week are found to influence accident types. CONCLUSIONS : This study analyzed the accident characteristics based on personal and city characteristics to reflect the sociological characteristics that influence traffic accidents. The number of traffic accidents in Korea could be decreased drastically by implementing the results of this study in customized safety education and traffic maps.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics affecting traffic accidents that have occurred in 564 industrial complexes nationwide from 2011 to 2015.METHODS : The traffic accidents were specified using various factors such as industrial complex type (national VS. general), industrial complex degradation (old VS. non-old), location of complex (capital VS. non-capital), and traffic law violation (speeding, signal violation, and median invasion). The average number of crashes and accident ratio (fatal, severe, and both) in terms of characteristics of industrial complexes were calculated. With a sample of crashes of the industrial complexes for 5 years, statistical significances were tested to analyze and compare the differences based on industrial complex and traffic law characteristics using parametric and non-parametric methods.RESULTS: From statistical results, it is observed that the crash frequency occurring in old industrial complexes is three times higher than that in non-old industrial complexes. Old industrial complexes located in a capital area, old national industrial complexes, and old general industrial complexes are considerably related to higher crash frequency, but the fatal accident ratio appeared to have no statistical difference across industrial complex characteristics. Severe crashes are more likely to occur in non-old industrial complexes on an average.CONCLUSIONS : It is necessary to eliminate potential threats to roads and traffic in the same manner as illegal parking in industrial complexes through the restoration of old industrial complexes. To improve the efficiency of road infrastructure, efforts should be made to improve traffic safety in accordance with industrial characteristics such as planning and operation of relevant local government programs.

기후변화로 인한 결빙, 폭설, 집중호우 등 도로에서의 기상조건은 해마다 수많은 인명 피해를 유발하고 있다. 그러나 급변하는 기상상태에 신속하게 대처할 수 있는 도로기상 대응체계가 미흡하여 교통사고로 인한 사회·경제적 손실이 가중되고 있다. 최근 교통사고 통계자료에 의하면 기상상태가 좋지 않을 때의 교통사고치사율은 맑은 날씨일 때 보다 2～3배 심각한 것으로 나타났다(교통안전공단 2016). 따라서 기상악화 시 교통사고예방에 필요한 구체적이고 상세한 기상정보를 운전자에게 제공함으로써 교통사고예방 및 도로 운영의 활용성을 높일 수 있는 도로기상 모델개발이 필요하다. 도로기상 모델과 관련해서 도로기상 선진국(유럽, 캐나다, 일본, 미국 등)은 1990년대 초반부터 도로 노면온도와 노면 결빙점 예측을 위한 다양한 모형을 개발하고 모델의 성능을 검증하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다(Meng, 2014; Sato, 2004). 이들 국가는 주요 도로에 대해서 도로기상 관리지원시스템을 구축‧운영하고 있으며, 개발된 모델로부터 추정된 노면상태 정보를 도로이용자 및 도로관리자에게 제공함으로써 교통사고 및 도로파손 손실에 따른 사회적 비용을 줄여나가고 있다. 우리나라 도로기상 분야는 결빙 취약구간인 터널의 입·출입부에 수용액 형태의 제설제 자동 분사장치를 설치하여 운영하고 있는 단계로서 도로기상 선진국과 같이 도로구간 단위로 확장하여 서비스할 수 있는 기술은 미흡한 단계이다. 이들 국가와 같이 도로기상 관리지원시스템을 운영하여 주요 도로에 대해서 도로기상 정보를 실시간으로 서비스하기 위해서는 도로의 한 지점만을 대상으로 하는 기술대응 보다는 전체 도로구간의 노면상태를 예측할 수 있는 기상상황별 통합모델 개발이 우선시 되어야 한다. 이러한 기술개발의 필요성에 따라서 본 연구에서는 기상상황별 노면상태를 서비스할 수 있는 통합모델을 개발하였다. 첫 번째 모델은 겨울철 도로노면의 상태를 예측할 수 있는 모델이다. 노면상태 예측모델은 기계학습 방법 중에 하나인 의사결정나무(Decision Tree) 알고리즘 기반으로 개발되었으며, 이동형 차량(Probe vehicle)에서 수집되는 기상입력 자료를 학습하여 기상요소에 따른 4가지 노면상태(Dry, Moist, Wet, Ice)를 예측할 수 있다. 두 번째로 집중호우 기간에 도로에서 발생하는 도로의 수막정보를 예측할 수 있는 모형이다. 도로의 수막예측 모델은 기상청에서 제공하는 1시간 단위의 AWS(Automatic Weather System) 자료와 10m 단위의 도로기하구조 정보를 활용하였다. 도로에서의 강우량 추정은 kNN(k-Nearest Neighbors)기법을 활용하여 대상도로와 가장 가까운 AWS 관측소의 강우정보를 각 해당 도로구간에 할당하였다. 현재 본 도로기상 통합모델은 서울시 내부순환로와 올림픽대로에 대해서 실시간 서비스할 수 있도록 생산체계가 구축되었다. 도로기상 통합모델은 우리나라 주요 도로에 적용이 가능하여 하절기의 집중호우로 인한 물이 고인 도로지점과 동절기의 기온강하로 인한 도로의 결빙현상 등 도로노면상태 정보를 실시간으로 서비스할 수 있다. 또한 기상 악화 시 도로를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 의사결정 도구로 활용되어 교통재난 및 도로파손을 줄이는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Even though cars have a good effect on modern society, traffic accidents do not. There are traffic laws that define the regulations and aim to reduce accidents from happening; nevertheless, it is hard to determine all accident causes such as road and traffic conditions, and human related factors. If a traffic accident occurs, the traffic law classifies it as ‘Negligence of Safe Driving’ for cases that are not defined by specific regulations. Meanwhile, as Korea is already growing rapidly elderly population with more than 65 years, so are the number of traffic accidents caused by this group. Therefore, we studied predictive and comparative analysis of the number of traffic accidents caused by ‘Negligence of Safe Driving’ by dividing it into two groups : All-ages and Elderly. In this paper, we used empirical monthly data from 2007 to 2015 collected by TAAS (Traffic Accident Analysis System), identified the most suitable ARIMA forecasting model by using the four steps of the Box-Jenkins method : Identification, Estimation, Diagnostics, Forecasting. The results of this study indicate that ARIMA (1, 1, 0)(0, 1, 1)12 is the most suitable forecasting model in the group of All-ages; and ARIMA (0, 1, 1)(0, 1, 1)12 is the most suitable in the group of Elderly. Then, with this fitted model, we forecasted the number of traffic accidents for 2 years of both groups. There is no large fluctuation in the group of All-ages, but the group of Elderly shows a gradual increase trend. Finally, we compared two groups in terms of the forecast, suggested a countermeasure plan to reduce traffic accidents for both groups

PURPOSES: This study was initiated to analyze the characteristics of bus traffic accidents, by bus types, using the decision tree in order to establish customized safety alternatives by bus types, including the intra-city bus, rural area bus, and inter-city bus. METHODS: In this study, the major elements involved in bus traffic accidents were identified using decision trees and CHAID algorithm. The decision tree was used to identify the characteristics of major elements influencing bus traffic accidents. In addition, the CHAID algorithm was applied to branch the decision trees. RESULTS : The number of casualties and severe injuries are high in bus accidents involving pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. In the case of light injury caused by bus accidents, different results are found. In the case of intra-city bus accidents, the probability of light injury is of 77.2% when boarding a non-owned car and breaching of duty to drive safely are involved. In the case of rural area bus accidents, the elements showing the highest probability of light injury are boarding an owned car, vehicle-to-vehicle accidents, and breaching of duty to drive safely. In the case of intra-city bus accidents, boarding owned car, streets, and vehicle-to-vehicle accidents work as the critical elements. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the bus accident data were categorized by bus types, and then the influential elements were identified using decision trees. As a result, the characteristics of bus accidents were found to be different depending on bus types. The findings in this study are expected to be utilized in establishing effective alternatives to reduce bus accidents.

PURPOSES: This study suggests the application of glow line marking technology for reducing traffic accidents at nighttime. METHODS: In this study, using a statistical analysis, we analyzed the characteristics of traffic accidents occurring at nighttime. Next, the strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) factors were derived based on a current-status analysis of glow line marking technology and road environments. An SO strategy, ST strategy, WO strategy, and WT strategy were established in accordance with the four SWOT factors. RESULTS : This study suggests that the following strategies should be promoted to apply glow line marking technology to a road environment: 1) an activation strategy for the technological development of glow line markings for a new paradigm in reducing traffic accidents, 2) a benefit enhancement strategy applying glow line marking technology in places where nighttime traffic accidents frequently occur, 3) a strategy for the expansion of glow line marking by replacing streetlights, and 4) a strategy for enhancing road applications through the development of various line marking methods in consideration of both performance and costs. CONCLUSIONS : The application of glow line markings in a road environment can contribute to a reduction of traffic accidents at nighttime, and aid energy savings from the replacement of streetlights.

PURPOSES: According to accident statistics for road built in 2004, the ratio of accidents on frozen roads to normal roads is 0.9%, whereas the fatality ratio is 2.7%. The risk of accidents on frozen roads is very high. Measures taken every year to prevent traffic accidents of frozen roads in the winter season are still insufficient. Additionally, measures have been established mainly on rural roads. Therefore, for urban roads, analyses and measures to prevent accidents are lacking. In this study, data on accidents on frozen roads was used to search for the causes behind these accidents and measures to reduce accidents have been recommended. METHODS: In this study, collected data from the TAMS (Traffic Accident Management System), which were collected by the Seoul National Police Agency was used. The data were divided into vehicle, people, and condition of road. The analytical model used here was the Logistic Regression Model, which is frequently used for traffic safety and accident analysis. This study uses the odds ratio analysis to search for variables related to frozen road traffic accidents in each category. A total of 18 out of 47 variables were found to be the causes of accidents. RESULTS: From the results of the comparative analysis of 18 variables, the category of the condition of the road was found to be the most critical. Contrary to expectations, more accidents occurred in clear weather than in other conditions. Accidents on bridges occurred frequently, and its odds ratio was the highest compared with other road types. When BPT is operated, the probability of accidents on frozen roads is lower than in general conditions, and accidents occurred frequently on roads with less than four lanes. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results of this study, suggestions for reducing the risk of future domestic road accidents in freezing conditions are indicated as follows. First, it is necessary to perform a technical review of the urban road traffic accidents caused by frozen roads. Second, it is necessary to establish criteria for the study of the road environment based on the major causes of road accidents on frozen roads. Third, improvements in urban road environmental factors should be made.

The traffic accidents in Korea have been increasing every year due to various reasons and simultaneously causing socioeconomic cost at the national level. This study has analyzed the correlation between meteorological factors and the traffic accidents in Seoul during 2013. Especially, we have selected season, rain and temperature among the meteorological factors to identify their significance with the traffic accidents. In addition, analysis of variance, t-test and a multiple regression technique is applied. Major findings from the analyses are discussed at the district point of view, including the different effect of weather condition and the interaction effect of rain and temperature in winter. The results of this study would be useful for developing management strategies to reduce car crashes and injury severity in Seoul.

PURPOSES: Because expressway ramps are very complex segments where diverse roadway design elements dynamically change within relatively short length, drivers on ramps are required to drive their cars carefully for safety. Especially, ramps on expressways are designed to guarantee driving at high speed so that the risk and severity of traffic accidents on expressway ramps may be higher and more deadly than other facilities on expressways. Safe deceleration maneuvers are required on off-ramps, whereas safe acceleration maneuvers are necessary on onramps. This difference in required maneuvers may contribute to dissimilar patterns and severity of traffic accidents by ramp types. Therefore, this study was aimed at developing prediction models of the severity of traffic accidents on expressway on- and off-ramps separately in order to consider dissimilar patterns and severity of traffic accidents according to types of ramps. METHODS: Four-year-long traffic accident data between 2007 and 2010 were utilized to distinguish contributing design elements in conjunction with AADT and ramp length. The prediction models were built using the negative binomial regression model consisting of the severity of traffic accident as a dependent variable and contributing design elements as in independent variables. RESULTS: The developed regression models were evaluated using the traffic accident data of the ramps which was not used in building the models by comparing actual and estimated severity of traffic accidents. Conclusively, the average prediction error rates of on-ramps and offramps were 30.5% and 30.8% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The prediction models for the severity of traffic accidents on expressway on- and off-ramps will be useful in enhancing the safety on expressway ramps as well as developing design guidelines for expressway ramps.

We develop a model to predict traffic accidents in Korea. In contrast to the classical approach that mainly uses regression analysis, Bayesian approach is adopted. A dependent model that incorporates the data from different kinds of accidents is introduced. The rate of severe accident can be updated even with no data of the same kind. The data of minor accident that can be obtained frequently is efficiently used to predict the severe accident.

본 연구의 목적은 가로구간 사고특성을 분석하고 주 야간 사고모형을 개발하는데 있다. 이를 위해 청주시 가로구간 24개 도로를 연구대상으로 2007년 사고 자료를 이용한다. 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가로구간의 주간 사고건수가 야간 사고건수보다 많았지만, 사고율에서는 야간사고율이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 4개의 사고모형이 개발되었으며, 이들은 통계적으로 모두 유의한 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로, 모형에 채택된 독립변수를 활용하여 주 야간 사고모형의 차이가 비교 분석되었다.

교통사고 위험도 지수 산정 모델의 개발은 교통사고와 사상자수의 발생률을 줄이기 위한 대책으로 도로이용자 그룹, 도로와 가로망의 구역, 인구집단 등에 대한 교통위험도를 수식 또는 모델화를 통해 사전에 적용하여 효과를 극대화하고자 한다. 국외에서는 위험도평가모형을 통해 단일로 및 교차로에 개선방안 우선순위를 선정하는 방법으로 활용하고 있으며, 국내에서도 일부 사업에 적용되어 활용하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 모형의 독자적인 개발보다는 국외의 모형을 국내 실정에 맞도록 일부 변형하여 활용하고 있어 그 정확성에 의문이 제기되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 춘천시의 96개의 교차로를 대상으로 교통사고 발생 현황, 기하구조, 통제방식, 교통량, 회전교통량 등을 통해 교차로 평가요소를 추출하였으며, 추출된 평가 요소들의 상관분석을 통해 최종적인 변수를 도출하였다. 최종적으로 도출된 변수를 바탕으로 신호 구분, 차로수, 교차로형태의 세변수의 선형모형 분석을 통한 분산분석 기법을 이용하여 교차로 디자인 모형을 개발하였으며, 교차로의 계층분류, 판별변수 선정을 통해 신호교차로 위험도 모형, 비신호교차로 위험도 모형을 개발하였다.

본 연구는 교통사고의 발생 유형과 교통사고 심각도(Severity)와의 관계를 규명함으로써 위험유형을 제시하고, 운전자 특성과 교통사고의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 교통사고 유형을 여덟 가지로 세분하고, 결과의 객관성 확보를 위해 안전벨트 착용여부를 추가하여 상해정도와의 관계를 분석하였으며, 위험그룹의 분류를 위한 운전자의 특성은 성별, 차종, 연령 등을 대상으로 하였다. 카테고리 자료의 분석을 위하여 로그-선형 모형 및 로짓 모형을 사용하였다. 분석결과 사고유형과 심각도와의 관계에서는 정면충돌 사고와 앞지르기시, 우회전시 사고가 부상 또는 사망사고에 연루될 가능성이 높았다. 위험그룹 분석에서는 20세 미만의 이륜차 운전자, 41세에서 50세까지의 택시 운전자가 가장 위험한 집단으로 분석되었으며 또한 남자보다는 여자가 승용차와 중형화물 등에 관계되었을 때 더 위험한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 교통사고 발생시 인명 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 정면충돌 사고와 앞지르기시, 우회전시 발생하는 사고를 줄일 수 있는 방안이 연구되어야 하고, 교통사고 취약계층으로 분석된 위험그룹에 대한 교통안전 교육 및 단속이 강화되어야 할 것이다.

노면요철포장은 1950년대 처음 설치된 후 사고감소효과에 대하여 여러 가지 연구가 있어왔다. 대부분의 연구에서 주로 졸음과 부주의 사고를 예방하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속도로 377개소에서 4년 동안 수집한 교통사고를 바탕으로 노면요철포장 설치 전 후에 사고감소원인과 환경을 분석하였다. 분석결과 노면요철포장 설치 전 후 교통사고를 비교할 때 -200건/2년(-32.3%) 감소하여, 노면요철포장 설치시 사고감소 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 세부교통사고 원인분석결과 노면요철포장 설치효과가 유의하다고 할 수 있는 교통사고원인 항목을 제시할 수 있었다. 졸음, 과속, 주시태만, 부주의, 차량결함, 안전거리 미확보 교통사고감소가 유의하였다. A, B, C 등급 사고의 경우 교통사고감소가 유의하였다. 기상 상태 원인분석결과 맑음, 비, 흐림 기상상태에서 노면요철포장으로 인한 교통사고감소가 유의하였다. 본 논문 결과는 그동안 졸음 혹은 부주의 교통사고우려에 대응하도록 한 기존 노면요철포장 설치기준보다 원인인자를 명확히 하고 확장하여 고속도로 교통사고감소에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

Extreme low temperature has various effects on society. It has negative impacts on health, industry, agriculture, and transportation during winter season. Therefore, extreme low temperature is recognized as main factor that causing traffic accidents. This study analyzed the relationship between low temperature and traffic accidents from 2012 to 2018. This study also compared the differences in vulnerability to low temperature between urban and rural areas. Generalized Additive Model (GAM) and Poisson regression model are used to estimate the thresholds and the level of traffic accidents. The results show that the thresholds tend to be decreased gradually, but the level of traffic accidents are more likely to increase in both urban and rural areas Comparatively, rural areas are more vulnerable to traffic accident caused by drop in temperature than urban areas.

New towns and large multi-family housing complexes are being built in the capital region of Korea, with the goal of creating safe and pedestrian-friendly cities. Traffic accidents in such residential complexes, however, is on the rise, creating social problems. While there have been many previous studies on problems with pedestrian environment; there is a dearth of studies that take design-based approach to ensure safety in pedestrian environment within residential complexes. Therefore, this study aims to prevent traffic accidents by properly planning pedestrian environment within multi-family housing complexes, in addition to emphasizing theories related to planning safer pedestrian environment in general. This study found the following design directions required to improve the design theory of pedestrian safety in multi-family housing complexes: (1) Linking traffic facilities and residential complex spaces in Korea; (2) Considering implementation of United Kingdom road systems; (3) Establishing appropriate objectives for each residential complex based on case study. In response to these findings, the study selected the A84BL complex in Hwaseong Dongtan 2 Complex located in Dongtan-myeon, Hwaseong-si in Gyeonggi Province, Korea. Items that can be implemented, as well as spatial design directions, were discussed with a focus on private vehicles, pedestrians, and service vehicles.
