Since the history of the South Korea roundabouts is short, there is a possibility that drivers' awareness for the roundabouts (rules of the road, definition, location, etc.) is low, which may affect the compliance with traffic rules. Based on this assumption, the objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the awareness and the compliance of traffic rules for roundabouts using a structural equation modeling (SEM). To carry out this objective, an online survey was conducted for 526 drivers, who reside in Goyang, Korea, and an SEM was estimated based on the survey data. As a result, it is concluded that awareness of roundabout has a positive impact on the compliance of traffic rules. Additionally, the compliance is found to show a positive relationship with driving experience. Based on the analysis results, an affective approach through soft measures such as awareness campaigns and educations is recommended to effectively address and mitigate the negative issues induced by roundabouts.

In this paper, we introduce a warning message providing methodology by considering the elderly's walking behavior in V2P(: Vehicle-to-Pedestrian) communication systems. Using the elderly's accident records in Kyounggi-do area from 2011 to 2014, the elderly's accident behaviors are analyzed by categorizing accidents as road type (single road/ crossing road), existence of traffic signal (with signal/ without signal), existence of crosswalk (crosswalk/ jaywalk), cause of accident (jaywalk/ signal violation/ carelessness accident/ Etc.). In addition, the elderly's behavior variable and vehicle speed are applied, then some threshold values are utilized in a warning message providing in conflict area. Finally, we propose a distance which can protect an accident depending on the elderly's walking speed, safety margin and vehicle speed. By applying the results of this research to the V2P/P2V communication based road safety message providing system with the elderly's walking behavior, it may be helpful to reduce accident rate of the elderly.

최근 교통량이 증가함에 따라 자동차 사고피해도 비례하여 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인해 CCTV 등과 같이 교통사고 예방에 소모되는 비용이 막대하게 지출되고 있다. 단일시점 카메라의 시스템은 객체들의 겹침, 카메라각도에 의한 인식오류 등으로 오차율이 높은 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 다중시점의 협업기반 자동 상황인지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은먼저 영상데이터로부터 차량, 사람 등의 객체를 추출하고 이들 객체 쌍의 특징 정보를 계산한다. 이를 바탕으로 각 카메라 센서노드의 규칙기반 시스템을 이용하여 객체간의 사고여부를 가려낸다. 각 센서노드의 사고여부 정보는 메인서버로 수집되고, 수집된 정보는 상위 규칙에 의해 최종 사고 여부가 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 교차로에 설치된세대의 카메라를 이용한 실험을 통해 제안하는 시스템의 성능을 검증하였다.

국제 해상물동량(해상화물 수송량은 10년 사이에 매년 평균 4.3%씩)의 증가에 따라 해양사고의 발생 빈도도 높아지고 있으며, 사고의 규모도 대형화 되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라 해상에서의 선박 위험도 저감을 위한 많은 시스템들이 개발/운영되고 있지만, 대부분 실시간 위치정보를 기반으로 충돌위험 등을 분석하고 있고, 선박간의 충돌 외의 선박의 주변 환경에 대한 고려는 미비한 실정이다. 실제 해상에서의 통항량 및 10년간 사고를 분석하여, 충돌등 사고가 많은 남동부 해역(여수/통영/진해)의 통항패턴, 교차구역 및 해양사고 특성을 분석해보고, 이에 따라 Sector별 특징적 집중 관제 방안을 마련하여, 선제적 안전 서비스 방안을 연구하고자 한다.

The safety management of a road network comprises four basic inter-related components：identification of sites(black spot) requiring safety investigation, diagnosis of safety problems, selection of feasible treatments for potential treatment candidates, and prioritization of treatments given limited budgets(Persaud, 2001). Identification process of selecting black spot is very important for efficient investigation of sites. In this study, the accident prediction model for EB method was developed by using accident data and geometric conditions of black spots selected from four-leg signalized intersections in In-cheon City for three years (2004-2006). In addition, by comparing the rank nomination technique using EB method to that by using accident counts, we managed to show the problems which the existing method have and the necessity for developing rational prediction model. As a result, in terms of total number of accidents, both the counts predicted by existing non-linear regression model and that by EB method have high good of fitness, but EB method, considering both the accident counts by sites and total number of accident, has better good of fitness than non-linear poison model. According to the result of the comparison of ranks nominated for treatment between two methods, the rank for treatment of almost sites does not change but SeoHae intersection and a few other intersections have significant changes in their rank. This shows that, with the technique proposed in the study, the RTM problem caused by using real accident counts can be overcome.

Video Image Processing (VIP) for traffic surveillance has been used not only to gather traffic information, but also to detect traffic conflicts and incident conditions. This paper presents a system development of gathering traffic information and conflict detection based on automatic calculation of pixel length within the detection zone on a Video Detection System (VDS). This algorithm improves the accuracy of traffic information using the automatic detailed line segmentsin the detection zone. This system also can be applied for all types of intersections. The experiments have been conducted with CCTV images, installed at a Bundang intersection, and verified through comparison with a commercial VDS product.

Recently, there are many roundabouts installation works which are ordered to provide convenient transportation to road users as well as to eliminate traffic accidents and traffic delays. This study propose an approximate construction cost estimation model for early stages of roundabout construction. The model is designed considering the conditions of the early stage roundabout construction sites in Jeju. The regression equation of approximate construction cost was derived through regression analysis of 25 design data of roundabout construction in Jeju, and it was analyzed to have a high prediction accuracy. Finally, results verifies high prediction accuracy of the derived regression equation. Difference between the estimation cost and the design cost was only 2.3%, 3.7%, and 5.8% that verifies the high accuracy of the proposed approximate construction cost estimation model.
