Abstract

Since the introduction of 32 Automated Speed Enforcement System in Korea 1997, their application was expanded to the entire nation and, as of January 2008, there are 3,212 Automated Speed Enforcement System that are in operation. The existing method of evaluating the effects of the Automated Speed Enforcement System application is simple comparison of a year before and a year after the application. If the number of traffic accidents dramatically increased(or decreased) the year before the application compared to the numbers from years before that, then if the number decreased(or increased) after the Automated Speed Enforcement System application, it cannot be concluded that the change was caused by the Automated Speed Enforcement System application alone. Based on the 4-Step Before-After study, the method of evaluating the effect of an Automated Speed Enforcement System application was analyzed anew. At 205 locations where Automated Speed Enforcement System was applied in 2006, the existing evaluation stated a reduction of 19% in the number of traffic accidents, but when reanalyzed for the method suggested in this paper, the effect of the Automated Speed Enforcement System was found to be $27.4{\pm}3$, along with an error range of ${\pm}12.89%$ due to miscellaneous improvement.

1997년 우리나라에서 무인과속단속시스템 32대가 처음 도입된 이래 2008년 1월 현재 약 3,700기가 설치되어 운영 중에 있으며, 이는 운전자의 운전행태 및 교통특성 변화를 유도함으로서 교통안전을 개선시켜 결과적으로 교통사고건수 및 사망자 수를 크게 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 현재의 설치효과 평가방법은 설치전후 각 1년간 단순 비교하는 방법으로, 설치 바로 전년도의 교통사고건수가 다른 요소에 의해 최근 몇 년간 발생건수에 의해 급격히 증가(감소)하였을 경우 시스템 설치 후 감소(증가)되었어도 명확히 시스템 설치 효과라고 단정 짓기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 시스템 설치전후 4단계 분석기법을 근간으로 하여 과속단속시스템의 설치효과에 대하여 새롭게 평가하였다. 그 결과 2006년도에 설치한 205대의 과속단속시스템 설치효과는 기존의 분석방법에서 제시한 18%의 교통사고건수 감소효과가 아니라 시스템 설치효과에 의해 $27.4{\pm}3%$, 도로개선 등 기타 요인으로 인한 오차범위가 ${\pm}12.89%$인 것으로 나타났다.
