Abstract

In Korea, there is no clear regulation about right of way (ROW) for personal mobility device (PMD). So it is now illegal to use PMD in a space other than roadway. PMD has an advantage of being able to travel a long distance to move on foot with a relatively high speed, so it seems to spread widely in the near future. In this study, we'd like to establish the permission criteria for PMD in sidewalk, with the performance factors of the PMD. We review the cases of ROW of PMD in some foreign countries, and the performance standards for similar products that are currently allowed to use in the sidewalk or used in the sidewalk. Based on the maintenance standards for the sidewalk, we establish criteria to select the PMD moving means that can be used in sidewalk.

우리나라에서는 개인교통수단에 대한 명확한 통행규정이 마련되어 있지 않아, 법적으로는 차도 외의 공간에서 개인교통수단을 이용하는 것이 불가능하다. 개인교통수단은 보행으로 이동하기에는 먼 거리를 빠른 속도로 이동할 수 있다라는 측면에서 장점을 가져, 향후 이용 확산이 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 개인교통수단에 대한 보도 통행 허용기준에 대한 기기 측면의 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 해외의 개인교통수단 통행 허용 사례 및 현재 국내에서 보도 통행이 허용되었거나 보도에서 사용되어지고 있는 유사 제품에 대한 동적 성능기준을 검토하고, 보도 정비 기준을 근거하여 보도 통행이 가능한 개인교통수단에 대한 물리적 허용기준을 제시한다.
