Abstract

Personal Mobility (PM)-related accidents have increased rapidly since PM use was activated. In response to the increase in these accidents, the government strengthened regulations for PM users on May 13, 2021. The number of the accidents in which the PM user was a victim decreased significantly. In contrast, the increasing number of accidents in which PM user was the offender did not decrease significantly. In most of these accidents, the PM user was the offender who crashed into pedestrians. Hence, the safety of pedestrians is threatened. Therefore, this study analyzed the factors, such as the regulations, urban built environment, and personal characteristics, affecting the severity of PM-pedestrian accidents by focusing on PM-pedestrian crashes. This study analyzed the PM-pedestrian accidents in Seoul from 2020 to 2021 using binary logistic regression model. Through these results, this study proposed the policy implications.

개인형 이동수단의 이용이 활성화됨에 따라, 관련한 PM 사고도 급격하게 증가하였다. 이러한 사고 증가에 대응하기 위해, 2021년 5월 13일 정부에서는 관련 규정을 강화하였지만, PM 가해사고의 증가 추이는 피해사고의 증가 추이보다 크게 감소하지 않았다. 이러한 PM 가해사고의 대부분은 보행자와의 충돌 사고로, 보행자들의 안전이 위협받고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 PM 대 보행자 충돌사고를 중점적으로 규제 및 기상환경, 도시건조환경 특성 등을 반영하여, PM 대 보행자 교통사고 심각도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하였다. 2020년부터 2021년 간 서울시에서 발생한 PM 대 보행자 교통사고를 수집하였으며, 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 활용하여 분석을 수행하였다. 주요 분석결과를 통해 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다.
