PURPOSES : This study focuses on advance traffic information to prevent secondary traffic accidents on express highways. The purpose of this study is to analysis the optimal scenario by evaluating the effect of each advance traffic information scenarios using virtual driving simulation. METHODS : By designing traffic information scenarios and services with a combination of VMS and mobile PUSH notifications, driver behavior in the event of a traffic accident was analyzed. For this, a simulation environment was designed through engineering analysis. Through virtual driving simulation, the driver's deceleration point and the perception-reaction time are analyzed. RESULTS : Four scenarios were designed and reviewed so that VMS and mobile PUSH notification can be provided simultaneously after the driver drove for 5 km. As a result of driving with 30 drivers, the drivers reacted fastest when VMS was installed, followed by mobile PUSH notification, VMS+mobile PUSH notification, and NOTHING. CONCLUSIONS : When designing traffic information service, it was observed that providing information through VMS alone is more efficient than providing two services of traffic information. Therefore, it can be used as basic data for preventing secondary accidents on express highway.

PURPOSES : This study aims to draw differences between primary and secondary crashes by comparing crash characteristics and to identify the unique characteristics of secondary crashes for making better effective countermeasures to reduce secondary crashes. METHODS : The characteristics of secondary crashes were compared to those of primary crashes through a two sample proportional test (z-test). RESULTS : The results showed that vehicle-to-vehicle crashes and vehicle-to-person crashes are dominant crash types in secondary crashes. Compared to primary crashes, secondary crashes were likely to occur during nighttime. With respect to season and weather, the proportion of secondary crashes occurred during winter and in snowy weather is relatively higher than that of primary crashes. The main causes of primary crashes were found to be drowsiness, speeding, and exaggerated steering control, whereas main factors affecting the occurrence of secondary crashes were negligence of keeping eyes forward and no keeping a safe distance as expected. CONCLUSIONS : The characteristics affecting the occurrence of secondary crashes are different from those of primary crashes, indicating that proper countermeasures should be established to prevent the occurrence of secondary crashes on highways.

자동차 생산공장 내에서 생산되어진 여러 제품들을 이송시키는 경우 생산라인에 인원배치가 되어있어 육안으로 확인 가능한 생산라인 부분 혹은 CCTV 등으로 확인이 가능한 지역이 있는 반면 확인 불가능한 지역도 있다. 전자의 경우는 사고처리가 비교적 편하지만 만약 육안으로 확인 불가능한 곳에서 사고가 일어난다면 사고 발생 후 라인이 정지된 상태에서 비로소 확인이 가능하고 원인분석 등의 대응에 도입이 가능하다. 금강오토텍에서는 이번 현장맞춤형 기술개발 사업을 통해 자동차 생산공장 내 자동화 운반물 이송 시스템의 돌발적인 충돌 및 적재물 추락 사고에 대한 자체 기록이 가능하고, 실시간 무선 송신으로 관리자가 상황을 즉각적으로 판단할 수 있게 하는 자동이송 전차를 개발 계획 중이다. 이를 위해 이송전차에 탑재 가능한 소리 및 충격 센서와 실시간 영상기록장치, 영상을 보내주는 무선 송신기를 개발, 설치해 상기 문제점을 해결하려 한다.
