Abstract

This study was to evaluate the level of traffic safety related to domestic traffic accidents by analyzing the international comparison of road traffic accident indicators and to set goals and directions of traffic accidents in Korea in the future. The research procedure was as follows: First, population, number of registered vehicles, roadway length, vehicle kilometers, injury accidents, fatalities, injuries were collected in 32 OECD countries. Second, we determined Korea's traffic safety rankings through international comparison of traffic accident rate. Finally, we analyzed the level of traffic safety by comparing Korea with the 7 advanced countries with the traffic accident rate per vehicle kilometers. The accident rate in Korea was greater than two times higher than those of the seven major developed countries, which showed that the level of traffic safety in Korea implied very low. Target values for domestic accidents were proposed based on the accident rate.

본 연구는 도로교통사고 발생지표의 국제간 비교분석을 통해 국내 교통사고와 관련된 교통안전 수준을 평가하고 주요 선진국가의 교통안전 지표의 수준을 파악하고 장래 한국의 교통사고 지표의 목표와 방향설정을 목적으로 수행하였다. 연구 수행절차는 첫째, OECD 32개 대상국을 대상으로 인구, 자동차등록대수, 도로연장, 차량주행거리와 교통사고 발생건수, 사망자수, 부상자수를 수집하고 둘째, 교통사고율의 국제비교를 통해 한국의 교통안전 순위를 결정하였다. 마지막으로 차량주행거리당 교통사고율을 가지고 선진 7개국과 비교함으로써 한국의 교통안전 수준을 분석하였다. 분석결과 교통사고 발생건수, 사망자수, 부상자수뿐만 아니라 교통사고율도 OECD 국가와 비교하여 상위 1~ 5위의 높은 수치를 보여 매우 낮은 교통안전성을 나타내었다. 또한, OECD 주요 선진 7개국과 비교하여 한국의 교통사고율은 2배이상 높은 것으로 분석되어 한국의 교통사고와 관련된 교통안전도가 매우 떨어지는 수준으로 평가되었다. 향후 국내교통사고 목표치를 유럽 선진국가의 교통사고율을 기준으로 제시하였다.
