Abstract
This study was practiced in order to analyze the effect of concentrative lighting that is set up at night in some districts. For practicing this study, It was analyzed first, to study the past papers, second, to analyze the condition of the traffic accidents and the characteristics of the accidents, third, to study on the improvements of the high accident locations, finally to study the characteristics about the pedestrians' traffic accidents. The effects of road lighting improvements was analysed. The result of the analysis on concentrative lighting of crosswalk said that the night accidents was decreased to average 16.13% and the Net Present Value(NPV) on the analysis of the effect during using period is 25,648 million won, The B/C is 12.85. So, It was analysed that it is very effective.This study was practiced on the some districts and equipping time is different, and the number of samples is small. Because of this facts, This sample doesn't represent all of the concentrative lightings. But through the systematic analysis, this study can present the alternatives that can be materialized.
