초록

본 연구는 운전분노와 교통정체가 운전행동에 미치는 영향을 조사한 것이다. 운전분노란 운전 중 경험하는 분노로서 개인적 특질성향이다. 이 개인전 성향은 운전 중 도발적이고 도전적인 상황에 부딪혔을 때 난폭운전으로 표출된다. 그런데 운전분노는 다른 성격특질처럼 개인차가 있어서 운전분노 수준에 따라 교통상황에서 느끼는 분노의 정도는 차이가 나고, 이 차이는 난폭운전의 차이로 나타날 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 차량 시뮬레이터인 RTSA-DS를 이용하여 세 가지 교통상황(소통원활, 주행차로정체 및 선행차량의 서행으로 인한 진행방해 상황)을 가상현실 교통상황으로 제시하고, 운전분노 수준에 따른 운전행동을 조사 비교하였다. 그 결과 운전분노 수준이 높은 운전자가 낮은 운전자에 비해 주행차로 정체상황에서 빠른 속도로 주행하였으며, 주행차로 정체상황에서 정체를 피하기 위해 차로변경을 시도하였고, 이 과정에서 충돌사고의 개입율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 운전분노 수준이 높은 운전자가 정체상황에서 난폭운전과 위험운전을 감행한다는 이전의 연구결과와 일치한다. 그러나 운전 분노 수준이 높은 집단이 주로 20대 운전자로 구성되었고, 운전분노와 연령간의 상관이 높은 점을 감안할 때 본 연구의 결과 적용 시 주의가 필요하다.

This study is to investigate the effects of driving anger and traffic congestion on drivers' behaviors. Driving anger is the propensity to become angry while driving, and people differ in the tendency to get angry when encountering frustration and provocation on the road. Individual differences of the propensity contribute to anger on the road and aggressive driving leading traffic vaiolations and accidents. In the experiment three traffic conditions (an open road condition, a bumper-to-bumper traffic condition and a being stuck behind a slower driver condition) were simulated and driving behaviors were collected with RTSA-DS(Road Traffic Safety Authority-Driving Simulator). The results were as follows: Most of high anger drives drove at higher speeds in an open road condition, and in the bumper-to-bumper condition they drove faster and had an higher crash rate, which suggests they did aggressive driving, and risky and unsafe behaviors.
