PURPOSES : This study aims to examine actual cases of providing detour information in accidental situations such as traffic accidents and road construction through a VMS installed on national highways in metropolitan areas with alternative routes, as well as cases of simultaneously providing travel time information on parallel paths such as national and regular highways. For each case, we analyzed whether the provision of VMS traffic information leads to route changes and substantial effects. METHODS : To analyze traffic changes on the main and detour roads based on the detour information provided on traffic accidents in actual cases, the traffic volume and speed on the accident day were compared with those on the same days and at the same time of the day (regular days) based on the VDS data of the main and detour roads. Cases providing more detour information on road construction were investigated by examining three time periods: one week from construction initiation and one week before and after the construction period (regular days). The traffic volume and speed on the main road were compared based on the VDS data, and those on the detour road were compared based on data made available by private entities. Regarding the cases of simultaneously providing drivers with comparative information on travel time over parallel sections of national and regular highways, traffic situation changes in highways were analyzed in the following special traffic control periods (New Year's Day, NY Day), during which congestion is expected due to heavy traffic: before and after the provision of comparative information for 2015 New Year's Day and 2016 NY Day. RESULTS : The detour rate related to route changes based on the detour information for traffic accidents was 35%. On the detour route, the traffic volume increases as traffic from the main road is absorbed. However, the average travel speeds did not differ significantly. When further detour information regarding a road construction project was provided, the detour rate from the main road was 21%. The travel speeds were similar, except on the first day of construction. Almost no changes were observed in the first section of the detour. The speed slightly decreased in the second section but did not significantly hinder the traffic flow. When comparative traffic time information on parallel routes (national highways and expressways) was provided, the traffic volume increased to some extent after the report was provided for every case. However, the data frequency rate in the 5-min unit, which was still under the congestion speed standard (40 km/h), decreased. This indicates that traffic congestion was significantly relieved. CONCLUSIONS : Previous studies on detour rates or route changes based on VMS traffic information have focused on VMS instruments on expressways. Although their estimates were based on simulated situations, this study used actual VMS installed on national highways. In addition, this study utilizes the existing case records of national highway ITS centers, covering traffic situation monitoring, measures for accidental situations, etc., in regular times or special traffic control periods, as well as statistical data, including ITS real-time traffic information. The analysis results of this study accurately represent situations on actual roads and can be utilized to analyze future ITS operation and installation project effects.

매년 해양활동이 증가하며 해양사고 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 해양안전을 위한 각종 연구 활동과 정책이 실행되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 매년 해양사고가 증가하고 있어 이들의 실효성에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 문헌연구 결과에 따르면, 통계연보를 활용한 선행연구는 통계제공항목 간 비교를 통해 두드러지는 항목에 대한 예방책을 제시하고 있다. 2000년대 이후에는 대형 해양사고가 반복적으로 발생하면서 '사고대응'에 대한 사례연구(case study)가 진행되고 있다. 국내 해양안전을 위한 정책수립 연구과정에서 통계연보나 사고사례를 주 자료로 활용하고 있으나 현재 자료는 사후결과 요약정도의 수준이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해양 사고 사례분석 및 개선방안 관련 문헌연구를 통해 현행 해양관련 연구와 정책의 한계를 탐색하였다. 또한 자료 활용 한계를 개선하기 위한 방안의 일환으로 선박사고 상황보고서 속성분석, 텍스트 마이닝을 통해 해양사고 정보 분류체계인 온톨로지(ontology)를 수정 보완하였다. 해당 항목은 ‘신고자, 신고수단, 구조세력, 대응 조치사항, 대응취약성, 적재물, 유류유출경위, 피해유형, 사고처리결과’이며, 이 항목 들은 분류체계 표준용어를 활용해 향후 지속적으로 수집 활용할 수 있다. 마지막으로 온톨로지를 실질적으로 활용하기 위한 데이터 수집 및 품질확보 방안을 제시했다. 결과적으로 현재 해양안전이 직면한 문제를 명확히 파악하고 ‘품질이 확보된 충분한 정보’를 활용한다면 보다 다양한 연구와 실효성 있는 정책 실현이 가능할 것이다.

Whenever a disaster occurs, people emphasizes that "Safety management is most important thing in the company". However, a situation of safety management is not changed dramatically after accidents in the past. Many small-and-medium sized industries neglect the importance of safety management. Current situation can be easily figured out when looks up an occurrence rate of accident, accident frequency rate and intensity rate. This paper investigated what workers of hotel-related industries think of a safety and types of accidents, effect of a safety education. On-site-survey was conducted for actual workers in four deluxe hotels and one condominium. 207 persons out of 400 people were replied. Statistical analysis was performed with SAS package about their reply. In injured type, cut from knife was most frequent. Main cause of accident was a unsafe posture and a unsafe behavior, so more safety education for these workers are necessary. In a physical pain which related with job, chronical pain was most dominant. As a result, a safety education has a high correlation with an experience of injured and treatment of safety, Cooking department has highest occurrence of accident than any other departments. Workers with an experience of five to ten years have most lowest treatment of safety, aid of safety education, safety feeling of their working environment, so peer attention must be put on these people to reduce accidents.accidents.
