Abstract

The use of personal mobility(PM) is increasing because of preading shared mobility, but, it causes risk of accidents and fear to pedestrians because of lack of sound. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of the alert sound in PM and driving direction on risk perception of pedestrians, awareness on PM driver, and allowance for driving on each road. The 8 videos were produced from a pedestrian perspective, depending on the alert sound type(silent, vess, bell, voice) and direction of driving(front, back). After watching each video, participants completed surveys. There was a non-effect on the driving direction. Regardless of the alert sound type, all of the sounds reduced the risk perception. Also, the awareness of PM drivers and allowance for driving on each road were positive. This study found that PM needed an alert sound for pedestrian safety. We expect the results of the study to help improve awareness of PM and make policies and regulations.

공유 모빌리티의 확산으로 개인형 이동장치의 이용률이 높아지고 있으나, 소리가 없어 보행자에게 사고위험과 두려움을 유발하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 전동킥보드의 다양한 경고방식과 주행 방향이 보행자의 위험 지각과 주행자에 대한 인식, 각 도로에 대한 허용 태도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 8가지 영상 처치물은 경고방식(silent, vess, bell, voice)과 주행 방향(전, 후방)에 따라 보행자 관점으로 제작되었다. 참가자는 각 영상을 시청한 후, 영상에 대한 설문에 응답하였다. 연구 결과, 주행 방향에 따른 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또, 경고방식과 상관없이 경고가 존재 할 때, 위험을 낮게 지각했고, 주행자에 대한 인식과 각 도로에 대한 허용 태도가 긍정적으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 보행자의 안전을 위해 개인형 이동장치 고유의 경고음이 필요함을 시사하고, 개인형 이동장치에 대한 인식 개선과 관련 정책, 규정을 마련하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
