PURPOSES : The primary purpose of this study is to establish a crash probability model based on a statistical method that explains the relationship between regressor and explanatory variables using both fixed and random effects to control the heterogeneous characteristics of the observed data. In addition, an attempt was made to discover the leading cause of crashes by vehicle type, including passenger car, bus, truck, and trailer. METHODS : The levels of each route and day of the week are grouped using raw expressway crash data for 10 years from 2012 to 2021, and a multilevel mixed-effect logit model is constructed for each vehicle type assuming that the error terms are derived from the hierarchical structure of the group to which they belong. RESULTS : Speeding and obstacles on the road are significant factors that increase the probability of passenger car crashes, and bus crashes have a high rate at toll gates on weekdays. CONCLUSIONS : The multilevel mixed-effect logit model derived in the study has higher accuracy than the general logit model, confirming that mixed-effect analysis is plausible.

PURPOSES : The percentage of vehicle overturning accidents is 16.3% of vehicle alone fatal accidents, with a fatality rate of 9.0%, accounting for a high proportion, and heavy vehicles with a high center of gravity are vulnerable to overturning accidents. In the standard guidelines of Super-Bus Rapid Transit(S-BRT), it is recommended to install physical facilities that separate buses from other traffic on dedicated bus ways, and lane separation facilities are being developed. To develop low-profile lane separation facilities that do not interfere with sight obstruction for pedestrians and drivers, it is necessary to review the height of lane separation facilities to prevent overturning crashes of heavy vehicles. METHODS : Heavy vehicle impact conditions of 8ton-55km/h-15°, 8ton-55km/h-20°, 8ton-65km/h-15°, and 8ton-65km/h-20°were applied to compare the vehicle behavior by the height of lane separation facilities using LS-DYNA, a three-dimensional nonlinear impact analysis program based on speed and angle changes. In addition, the behavior of the vehicle after the collision was analyzed to examine the impact conditions in which an overturning crash occurs when a heavy vehicle collides with a low-profile lane separation facility and the appropriate height of the facility to prevent overturning. RESULTS : In general, under the 8ton-65km/h-15°condition, which is a heavy vehicle impact condition used in the performance standard of the barrier, the vehicle’s behavior after the collision was stable as the height of the lane separation facility increased. CONCLUSIONS : Therefore, when the impact conditions were 8ton-65km/h-15°or less, it was determined that the appropriate height to prevent the condition of the lane separation facility was 400mm or more.

본 연구에서는 KS 강종 규격 YS245(SS400)에서 YS275(SS275)로 개정됨에 따라 고속구간에 설치하는 SB3-B등급에 대하여 탑승자보호성능 평가 및 강도성능 평가를 위한 충돌시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션은 소형차에 대하여 탑승자 보호성능평가항목인 탑승자 충격속도 및 탑승자 가속도를 평가하고, 대형차에 대해서 강도성능을 비교 분석하기 위하여 비선형 유한요소 동적 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 예제로부터 YS275 강종은 기존강재에 비하여 전반적으로 우수한 충돌 성능을 보였으며, 특히 PHD의 개선효과가 상대적으로 더욱 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 적용한 솔리드 지반-구조물 상호작용 모델은 지진해석으로 적용할 수 있다.

Vehicle crash analysis a lot of time and manpower in preprocessing for analysis rather than analysis in analytical studies of the situation that is being committed. In this studies involving conflict with an existing automation system of the body is mainly optimized for a particular field, and researchers think that is an inconvenience that can be used in stone until a comprehensive analysis of the bodywork of each study. Therefore, it is very important to development of automotive system for vehicle crash analysis, the research related studies were carried out. In this study, vehicle crash analysis is performed against that can be used for multiple and effectively utilized by system based meshing in an aim to reduce the time and resource that by developing an automotive system. The results of the study, it was possible to construct an automated system the more time consuming mesh generation for vehicle crash analysis.

In this study, the performance of a steel-FRP composite bridge safety barrier was evaluated through the vehicle crash test. Glass fiber and polyester resin were used for FRP. The structural strength performance, the passenger protection performance, and the vehicle behavior after crash were evaluated corresponding to the vehicle crash manual. As the result, A steel-FRP composite safety barrier was satisfied with the required performance.

교통사고 원인분석 및 사고예방을 위해서는 교통사고 유발요인에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 기존 연구에서는 기하구조, 운전자 특성 등의 요인을 고려하여 연구를 진행하였다. 그러나, 운전자 특성요인 분석에 사용된 자료는 검지기에서 측정된 집계된 속도로써, 속도 변화량을 이용한 사고분석연구에는 한계가 존재한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차량의 속도변화 등의 수집이 용이한 센서를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 가속도자료 및 기하구조 특성을 나타내는 변수를 설정하고, 사고자료와 매칭을 통해 사고개연성이 높은 잠재적 변수로의 적합성을 평가하였다. T-test, 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용했으며, T-test 결과로써 도출된 변수를 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석의 독립변수에 적용하고, 사고발생 유 무를 종속변수로 설정하였다. 분석결과, 5개의 변수가 사고발생에 영향을 주는 변수로 도출되었다. 또한, 도출된 모형은 사고발생구간의 예측에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 확보하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 위험 운전행태 변수 및 모형은 프로브차량에 설치하여 활용할 수 있는 장치 등에 적용시켜 사고위험도 및 안전성 평가에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Vehicle collision is one of cause for structural failure. The increased load carrying capacity of the truck is also a threat for existing structures. Recent studies show the actual shear capacity of the column of bridge is larger than industrial standards. In this study, truck-column collision model was developed and load carrying capacity of a column were evaluated.
