초록

고속도로에서 발생된 교통사고 지속시간은 교통혼잡에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 일반적으로, 교통사고 지속시간은 사고의 검지시간, 대응시간, 처리시간으로 구성되며, 이 중 사고의 검지 및 대응시간은 최근 스마트폰 보급률 증가로 인해 매우 감소된 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 교통사고 처리팀에 의해 수행되는 사고 처리시간의 관리는 교통사고로 인한 교통혼잡 관리에 매우 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구는 고속도로 교통사고 처리에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자를 파악하는 것이 목적이다. 분석을 위해 2013년 전국 30개 주요 고속도로에서 발생한 총 6,870건의 자료를 이용하였다. 고속도로 사고 처리시간에 영향을 주는 인자 분석을 위해 Cox 모형을 활용하였다. 분석결과, 13개의 변수가 교통사고 처리시간에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 사고 처리시간을 증가시키는 요인은 터널에서 발생한 사고, 사망자가 발생한 사고, 사고차량수, 사고 후 상태의 상태가 전도 혹은 화재로 이어진 사고, 차량이 완파된 사고, 화물(대형) 및 트레일러 사고, 야간에 발생한 사고인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 톨게이트에서 발생한 사고, 차-시설 사고, 승용차 사고, 종단구배가 평탄한 구간에서 발생한 사고는 다른 환경에서 발생한 사고보다 사고 처리시간을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 고속도로에서 사고 발생 시 혼잡에 영향을 줄 수 있는 사고 처리시간의 감소 전략 수립을 위한 기반정보로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Duration induced by freeway crashes has a critical influence on traffic congestion. In general, crash duration composes detection and verification, response, and clearance time. Of these, the crash clearance time determined by a crash clearance team has attracted considerable attention in the freeway congestion management since the interest of the first two time stages faded away with increasing ubiquitous mobile phone users. The objective of this study is to identify the critical factors that affect freeway crash clearance time using a Cox's proportional hazard model. In total, 6,870 crash duration data collected from 30 major Korean freeways in 2013 were used. As a result, it was found that crashes during the night, with trailer or larger size truck, and in tunnel section contribute to increasing clearance time. Crashes associated with fatality, completed damage of crashed vehicle (s), and vehicles' fire or rollover after crash also lead to increasing clearance time. Additionally, an increase in the number of vehicles involved resulted in longer clearance time. On the other hand, crashes in the vicinity of tollgate, by passenger car, during spring, on flat section, and of car-facility type had longer clearance time. On the basis of the results, this paper suggested some strategic plans and mitigation measures to reduce crash clearance time on Korean freeway systems.
