Abstract

This study proposed a model to estimate traffic accident likelihood using real-time traffic data obtained from freeway traffic surveillance systems. Traffic variables representing spatio-temporal variations of traffic conditions were utilized as independent variables in the proposed models. Binary logistics regression modelings were conducted to correlate traffic variables and accident data that were collected from the Seohaean freeway during recent three years, from 2004 to 2006. To apply more reliable traffic variables, outlier filtering and data imputation were also performed. The outcomes of the model that are actually probabilistic measures of accident occurrence would be effectively utilized not only in designing warning information systems but also in evaluating the effectiveness of various traffic operations strategies in terms of traffic safety.

본 연구에서는 실시간으로 수집되는 고속도로의 검지기 자료를 이용하여 교통사고 발생 가능성을 확률적 관측값으로 나타낼 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 사고발생 지점을 기준으로 상류부 및 하류부에서 수집된 사고발생 이전의 교통자료를 모형의 독립변수로 설정하였다. 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석 기법을 적용하여 교통사고 발생을 유발할 잠재력이 높은 교통상황을 교통사고와는 무관한 교통상황으로부터 추출하는 분류문제(classification problem)로 설정하고 모형을 개발하였다. 최근 3년간 서해안 고속도로에서 발생한 사고자료와 검지기 자료를 맵핑하였으며, 유효한 검지기 자료를 모형에 적용하기 위하여 이상치 제거 및 결측치 보정을 위한 자료처리 과정을 별도로 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 모형에서 산출되는 계량화된 교통사고 발생가능성은 고속도로상에서 실시간 경고정보 제공 및 다양한 교통운영관리 전략의 교통안전 측면에서의 효과를 평가하는데 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
