Abstract

Highway traffic safety evaluation of area on the basis of the accident rate has a limitation, thus its result is dependent on the exposure variables. It works an obstacle to decision making for effective budget execution. In this paper, we developed a methodology of taking simultaneously macroscopic exposure indicators into account in evaluating the safety using least squares method. The weight of exposure indicators to make up of highway traffic safety evaluation index is that accident rate per population, accident rate per registration vehicle and accident rate per length of road is 0.29, 0.52 and 0.19 respectively and calculated the highway traffic safety index of total local governments in Korea. The methodology to calculate highway traffic safety evaluation index proposed in this paper can be utilized in executing the traffic safety policies to increase the efficiency of investment about traffic safety budget.

지역단위 도로교통안전도에 대한 거시적 평가는 인구, 자동차대수, 도로연장 등의 거시적 노출변수(Macroscopic Exposure Measures)에 기반한 사고율을 노출지표로 이용하는 것이 일반적이나, 노출지표를 이용한 도로교통안전도 평가에 노출지표들이 미치는 영향이 각기 다르기 때문에 결과적으로 각각의 개별노출지표별 평가시 평가결과가 서로 상이하게 되는 문제가 있으며, 이는 예산투자의 효율적 집행을 위한 교통안전정책의 결정과정에 방해요인으로 작용하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최소제곱법 및 가중치를 일정단위로 변화시키는 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 노출지표별 최적의 가중치를 도출하였으며, 이를 종합적으로 반영할 수 있는 도로교통안전도 비교평가지수 산정방법을 개발하였다. 지수를 구성하는 노출지표별 가중치는 인구당사고율이 0.29, 자동차등록대수당사고율이 0.52, 도로연장당 사고율이 0.19로 도출되었으며, 개발된 방법을 적용하여 전국 기초지자체별로 도로교통안전도 비교평가지수를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 통해 노출지표별로 평가결과가 상이해지는 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, 교통안전예산의 투자효율성을 높이기 위한 교통안전정책의 합리적인 결정방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
