The increasing use of personal mobility has led to a rise in traffic accidents and social issues. Consequently, the government is continually revising laws and regulations to address the problems associated with personal mobility. This study conducted a survey that reflects user characteristics and public perceptions based on the law revised in May 2021. The personal characteristics, legal awareness, usage patterns, risk characteristics, and risk factors were analyzed. The analysis indicated that driving on roads without separate sidewalks, speeding, and carrying passengers are hazardous practices. Moreover, Poor awareness of the legal framework governing personal mobility results in law violations. These results are significant as they highlight the need for policy measures regarding institutional and legal improvements, and they underscore the importance of enhancing social awareness about safety as personal mobility become more widespread.

The aim of the research is to investigate relationship between drivers' self-control, driving behavior and driving stress. 180 people who have driver's licence and have experiences in driving in Gwangju and Jeonnam area participated for the research. The survey was conducted from 29^th April 2015 to 24^th July 2015 and data was analysed to figure out the relationship between drivers' self-control, driving behavior and driving stress. As a result, Firstly, drivers' self-control affected mistakes, violations, errors of driving behavior, and driving environment, traffic regulations, accident control, time pressure of driving stress. It showed a statistical significant difference and the higher drivers' self-control is, the lower sub construct factor of driving behavior and driving stress. Secondly, those factors of drivers' self-control, driving behavior and driving stress were correlated. The result showed the relationship between drivers' self-control, driving behavior and driving stress. It is also possible to utilize the information to prevent car accidents. Finally, it is expected to do research further by expanding the participants into multiple areas of people.

Delay reduction of vehicles at the intersection is highly dependent on the signal operation method. Most previous traffic operations have focused on minimizing delay by adjust traffic offset. However, these methods have limitation in solving traffic problem if the volume reaches or exceeds the capacity. In this paper, it was analyzed that the effectiveness of various signal operation methods such as left-turn prohibition, and using protected mixed with permitted left turn using the traffic data from Daejeon city. In case of the left-turn prohibition of a intersection, the control delay reduced from 54.2 seconds to 22.7 seconds and especially, the delay of the southbound was drastically reduced. In addition, the delay was highly reduced from 27.0 seconds to 12.1 seconds when the operation system was changed to use protected mixed with permitted left turn.

The types of the accidents caused by intra-city buses and the changing tendencies of driving attitudes are analyzed before-and-after semi-public management system of intra-city bus system is implemented. On the basis of analysis, the measures on the decrease of traffic accidents are considered and the results are as follows. First, it showed that the traffic accidents decreased generally as a result of definition of the progresses of traffic accidents of intra-city buses before-and-after the system is implemented and with the passing of time after the system was operated. Second, the factors which influence the decrease of traffic offenses before-and-after semi-public management system of intra-city bus are the decease of violation, safe driving duty and the job security. Also the cause which mostly influence to the decrease of traffic accidents is defined. Finally, the measures of decrease of traffic accidents are arranged and proposed as a result of PROXSCAL method.

본 연구의 목적은 형평성 문제를 최소화할 수 있는 무료인 도시고속도로의 유료화 대안을 모색하는데 있다. 본 연구는 크게 2개 분야로 구성된다. 우선 형평성을 고려한 유료화 전략을 수립하는 부분과, 다음으로 사례연구를 통해 다양한 유료화 시행방안의 효과를 비교 분석하는 부분이다 사례연구는 경부고속도로의 서울시 구간을 대상으로 외국 주요도시에서 시행하고 있는 Fare Lane, HOT Lane, ERP 시스템, 도로유지/관리비를 위한 통행료 부과 등 4가지의 무료인 도시고속도로 유료화 방안들에 대하여 효과의 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 무료인 도시고속도로에 적합한 유료화 방안은 1) 유지관리비용 징수방식 보다는 혼잡통행료 방식이며, 2) 대중교통을 제외한 차량을 대상으로 징수하되, 3) 징수방식은 고속도로의 특성에 따라 개방식과 폐쇄식으로 하고, 4) 요금수준은 도로용량을 최대화하는 수준에서 결정해야 하며, 5) 징수차로는 전차로 유료화 방식 또는 HOT 차로 유료화 방식으로 하되 고속도로의 램프진출입로 방향을 고려하여 결정하며, 6) 징수시스템은 전자자동징수시스템을 채택하고, 마지막으로 7) 수입금은 대중교통개선에 쓰이도록 하거나 징수대상 도로나 구간을 이용하는 자들이 직접적으로 배분에 참여하여 효용을 극대화할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 채택하는 것이 바람직한 방향으로 나타났다. 한편, 본 연구는 실행을 전제로 한 것이 아니기 때문에 실제 적용시에는 대상도로의 선정, 분석방법, 분석의 범위에 대한 보다 심도 있는 논의가 필요하며 또한 유료도로법 등의 관계 법규에 대한 정비가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The objectives of the present research are twofold. First, this research aims to compare the effect of trait characteristics(sensation seeking, social resistance and type-A behavior) with that of driving specific characteristics(driving anger and type-A driving) on problematic driving behavior. Second, the role of life stress as a mediator in the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index was examined. 1158 licensed commercial vehicle drivers were surveyed and their accident-related records were obtained in this research. Results showed that driving specific characteristics were significant indicators of traffic safety and life stress mediated the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index. These findings implicate that understanding drivers' driving specific characteristics and their levels of life stress is important to reduce problematic driving behaviors and enhance traffic safety.

For bus drivers' safe driving, a policy that analyzes the causes of the drivers' traffic accidents and then assists their safe driving is required. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport set up its plan to gradually expand the equipping of commercial vehicles with FCWS (Forward Collision Warning System) and LDWS(Lane Departure Warning System), from the driver-supporting ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). However, there is not much basic research on the analysis of bus drivers' traffic accidents in Korea. As such, the time is appropriate to research what is the most necessary ADAS for bus drivers going forward to prevent bus accidents. The purpose of this research is to analyze how serious the accidents were in the different bus routes and whether the accidents were repetitive, and to give recommendations on how to support ADAS for buses, as an improvement. A model of ordered logit was used to analyze how serious the accidents were and as a result, vehicle to pedestrian accidents which directly affected individuals were statistically significant in all of the models, and violations of regulations, such as speeding, traffic signal violation and violation of safeguards for passengers, were indicated in common in several models. Therefore, the pedestrian-sensor system and automatic emergency control device for pedestrian should be installed to reduce bus accidents directly affecting persons in the future, and education for drivers and ADAS are to be offered to reduce the violations of regulations.

There is a need to provide appropriate transportation safety services to foreigners residing in Korea. The main purpose of this study is to enhance transportation safety services for foreigners. In order to identify the risk of traffic accidents, analysis of traffic accidents was conducted using a survey of foreigner travel behavior. According to the results of this model, the study suggests directions to achieve improvement of traffic safety services for foreigners who are unfamiliar with the transportation systems. The study results show that the risk of traffic accidents is influenced by two factors: comprehension of transport geography and of traffic laws. Necessity of policy is influenced by two factors: comprehension of transportation system and the risk of traffic accidents. Intention of using policy is influenced by two factors: the risk of traffic accidents and necessity of policy. Effect of policy is affected by the intention of using policy. The results also demonstrate that the traffic safety services for foreigner can be described as endogenous variables which are approximately 88% of the traffic safety education, 85% of the demanded multicultural district, and 75% of the portal traffic information. Compared with existing research, this study provides a systematic methodology to evaluate effects and the order of priority in establishing traffic safety policies for foreigners.
