With the rapid expansion of personal mobility (PM) devices as urban transport alternatives, the associated safety risks have increased significantly. Although previous studies have offered insights into user behavior and accident traits, more integrated approaches that consider spatial and administrative contexts are required to better understand the factors affecting accident severity. This study investigated the factors influencing accident severity involving PM devices in Seoul, South Korea by employing a cross-classified multilevel model (CCMM) to account for both police jurisdiction and regional characteristics. Analyzing the 2021 data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System (TAAS), the model showed strong validity (ICC: 15.8%, DIC: 697.2), outperforming the logistic and hierarchical models. Key predictors of higher severity included crashes in non-standard areas (e.g., other than single roads or intersections), helmet non-use, and older age of victims and perpetrators. Violations, such as exceeding passenger capacity, were negatively associated with severity. Industrial areas and high subway station densities reduced the severity, reflecting the benefits of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Larger areas covered by police officers significantly increased the severity, revealing enforcement limitations. The 2021 Road Traffic Act revision has had no statistically significant impact. These results highlight the need for integrated policies that combine infrastructure improvements, enhanced enforcement, and behavioral changes to reduce the severity of PM-related accidents in urban environments.

신호교차로는 도로조건, 교통조건, 신호조건 능 방대한 입력자료를 바탕으로 용량분석을 시행하고 이 과정을 토대로 주요 효과척도인 지체를 산정하여 신호교차로의 서비스 수준을 판단한다. 하지만 이러한 용량 및 서비스 수준 결정에 있어 바탕이 되는 현장 데이터(회전 교통량, 도로의 기하구조, 신호시간, 접근로 구배, 중차량비, 첨두시간계수, 차량도착형태 등) 입력자료의 불확실성으로 인해 초래되는 결과의 오류에 대해서는 고려되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인해 추정된 용량 및 서비스수준에 대한 신뢰성을 검증할 수 없는 문제를 내포하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해당 교차로 접근로의 교통량과 중차량 비율 및 도로의 기하구조 등 입력자료의 불확실성이 용량해석과 서비스수준 결정에 끼치는 영향을 고려해보고 이틀에 의한 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study was focused on analyzing the headway of various types of trailer in Pusan city with the high heavy vehicle rate. Then Passenger Car Equivalent(PCE) was calibrated in order to identify the impact of trailers in the traffic flow at the signalized intersections. To fulfill this goal types of trailer were classified into five categories such as full trailer semi-trailer unloaded semi-trailer semi-trailer loaded with 20ft container and semi-trailer loaded with 40ft container and Passenger Car Equivalents were identified. the Results are as follows: 1) The PCE’s were 2.64, 1.51, 2.09, 2.16 and 2.23 respectively. 2) The saturation flow rate on the signalized intersection was lower than that on the multi-lane highway in the big city of Korea. 3) The start-up delay on the thru lane was similar to the average value in our country but the start-up delay on the left-turn lane was longer than the average value in our country by the impact of container Vehicles.
