External costs emerge as a consequence of negative external effects. The EU commission and national government in Europe made themselves the internalization of external costs and began to make various measures. The traffic sector plays an important role. At the same time, it affects as financial loads to logistics service providers and carriers in Europe. This study examines current development in european logistic market conditions. It describes the reaction of different market players and stakeholders in the logistic value chain in EU, Switzerland and Germany. A portfolio of different strategic answers to the changing market environment is being developed. Therefore, different options for the internalization of external costs are proposed. This study finally derives propositions for future research.

The purpose of this study is to analyze traffic accident reduction effect of the introduction of motorcycle safety inspection. To analyze the effect of motorcycle inspection, we first estimate the number of defective motorcycles, and calculate the probability of accident occurrences caused by the defect using four year traffic accident data. Finally, we estimate the number of reduced accidents due to the introduction of the inspection and the total reduced accident cost. In this study, we analyzed three scenarios. It is analyzed that when the safety inspection system is applied to all motorcycles, 642 cases of traffic accidents and 325 million won per year of traffic accident costs are reduced. It is approximately 0.1% of 2014 total traffic accident cost of 26.5725 trillion won per year. It suggests that the cost of traffic accidents and traffic accidents due to vehicle factors are reduced when the safety inspection system is introduced.

2001년 경찰청 $\ulcorner$2001년판 교통사고통계$\lrcorner$ 자료에 의하면 사고피해의 정도를 나타내는 치사율에 있어서 중앙선침범사고가 과속사고와 함께 가장 높은 수치를 보이고 있으며, 대형 교통사고의 39.5%가 중앙선 침범에 의해 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 실제로 2000년 한 해 동안 총 사고건수 290,481건 중 중앙선 침범에 의해 18,931건 (6.52%)의 교통사고가 발생하여 사망자 1,472명, 부상자 35,046명으로 전체 교통사고 사망자의 14.38%, 부상자의 8.21%를 점하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 전체 교통사고에서 중앙선침범사고가 차지하는 비중 이 높아지고 있어 중앙선침범사고를 줄이기 위한 대책의 일환으로 중앙분리대, 표지병, 시선 유도봉 등과 같은 중앙선침범 예방시설물을 설치하고 있으나, 해당 시설물에 대한 설치기준이 없는 실정이다. 이렇듯 중앙분리대 설치기준의 부재로 인해 중앙선침범사고 발생과 이에 따르는 경제적인 교통사고 비용손실, 그리고 중앙분리대의 과다설치로 인한 국가 재원의 낭비는 간과할 수 없는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 점에 착안하여 기존에 지방부 2차로 도로의 직선부에 대한 중앙선침범사고 예측모델이 개발되었고 본 연구에서는 그 연장선상에서 지방부 2차로 도로의 곡선부에 대한 중앙선침범사고 예측모델에 대한 중앙선침범사고 예측모델의 개발을 통해 중앙선침범사고에 대한 사회적 비용을 산정하고, 현재 설치하여 운영중인 중앙선침범 예방시설물의 설치비용간의 비용-편익분석을 통해 얻어진 기준으로 중앙선침범 예방시설물 설치의 가부에 대한 보다 현실적이고 비용-효율적인 중앙선침범 예방시설물 설치기준을 제시함으로써 교통사고 비용손실을 최소화하고, 중앙분리대의 효율적 설치방안의 도입을 통한 경제적 이익창출을 도모하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 1995년 우리 나라에서 발생한 교통사고의 인명피해비용을 추정 하는 것이다. 인명피해비용추정을 위한 방법론으로는 인적 자본법을 사용하였다. 인적자본 법의 기본이 되는 미래손실생산량의 계산은 임금을 기본으로 하지 않고 GNP를 기준으로 삼는다. GNP 상승률을 8.14%로 고정하고, 성장률에 대한 할인율의 비를 0.92, 0.94, 0.98 로 정하고, 이에 따른 할인율은 0.17, 0.15, 0.10으로 계산된다. 따라서, 각각의 비율에 따 른 총 인명피해액은 1조 2천억원, 1조 5천억원, 2조 6천억원이 된다. 또한, 평균인명피해액 을 구하면, 1억 2천 5백만원, 1억 5천 3백만원, 2억 5천 5백만원이 되며, 비용-편익 분석 을 위한 추정된 총 주행거리당 원단위 비용은 각각의 경우, 5원, 6원, 10원으로 산정 되었 다. 본고에서 추정한 총 주행거리당 원단위 비용은 도로 안전시설물 투자전 평가에 도움을 줄 수 있으리라 기대된다.

In the definition of non additive path, the sum of travel costs of links making up the path is not equal to the path cost. There are a variety of cases that non-additivity assumption does not hold in transportation fields. Nonetheless, traffic equilibrium models are generally built up on the fundamental hypothesis of additivity assumption. In this case traffic equilibrium models are only applicable within restrictive conditions of the path cost being linear functions of link cost. Area-wide road pricing is known as an example of realistic transportation situations, which violates such additivity assumption. Because travel fare is charged at the moment of driver's passing by exit gate while identified at entry gate, it may not be added linearly proportional to link costs. This research proposes a novel Wordrop type of traffic equilibrium model in terms of area-wide road pricing schemes. It introduces binary indicator variable for the sake of transforming non-additive path cost to additive. Since conventional shortest path and Frank-Wolfe algorithm can be applied without route enumeration and network representation is not required, it can be recognized more generalized model compared to the pre-proposed approaches. Theoretical proofs and case studies are demonstrated.

This dissertation studied the psychological cost, which converted the mental pain suffered by the victim of a traffic accident and his/her family, friends and people around him/her into social costs. Three methodologies - Choice Experiments, Direct Question and Dichotomous Choice Question - were used to design questionnaires, and models were built for each questionnaire design method. When building models, a logit model was used, which is used most frequently in probabilistic choice model. And the tobitmodel was used to make direct questionnaires. When verifying these models, although there were some differences in each model, suitability of most models and credibility of each coefficient were meaningful around the credibility level of 95%. According to the analysis, domestic psychological cost produced through the assessment model of psychological cost was 15.63 million won per person or 5.1 trillion in total, assuming 37.1% of total traffic accident cost.

Autonomous vehicles can significantly reduce accidents due to 'driver's carelessness', which occupies the majority of causes for traffic accidents, but they may fail to avoid traffic accidents due to unexpected situations, such as "trolley dilemma", vehicle defects and road defects. Therefore in situations Autonomous vehicles need to be made ethical choices. This study assumes that Autonomous vehicles can not avoid traffic accidents due to unexpected sink holes. In this situation, the traffic accident costs was analyzed for the ethical choices of Autonomous vehicles. In the process, Autonomous vehicles were made to choose one of three ethical choices : (1) Egoism with priority on passenger safety, (2) Deontology for minimizing human damages, (3) Utilitarianism with minimizing traffic accident costs. As a result of the analysis, egoism had the highest traffic accident costs, and deontology for minimizing human damages had the lowest traffic accident costs.

The main objective of this study is to consider the necessity of introducing owner expenses in estimating the cost of traffic accidents, as is done in some advanced countries. It is known as "owner cost" in the U.S, "enterprise project price" in Japan, and "human cost" in the U.K. To achieve this, the seriousness and present state of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of traffic accident offenders, which is generally not observed when traffic accidents occur, are evaluated; countermeasures reflecting personal characteristics are prepared according to degree of affliction. The results could be summarized as follows. First, the present condition and seriousness of PTSD from traffic accidents that has been estimated only within the accidents offenders are evaluated through a survey. Second, a distinction analysis model is developed. 'Insomnia caused by accidents' and 'mental daunting in accident situations or similar ones during driving' are chosen as the variables of the discriminant. Third, as a result of the construction of an Ordered Probit Model to comprehend the seriousness of PTSD, the variables turns out in the order of 'seriousness of the most damaged victim, 'nightmare about the accident', 'insomnia experience', 'mental daunting during driving', 'gender', and 'major driving area'. Finally, the cures reflecting characteristics of gender and region are suggested, which are preferred for degree of seriousness of PTSD. The analysis shows that the method to minimize the damage, such as decline of work efficiency, by moving ahead the rehabilitation of the offenders would be suggested and this could minimize the direct and indirect damages that could happen to business owners for whom the drivers work.

The costs of owning car are accepted as a subscription fee for participating in car-oriented society and only direct out-of-pocket costs of driving are mostly considered, so that the efficient location with better accessibility to service facilities is often under-appreciated. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of accessibility to public transport and other service facilities on travel demand and transportation cost of household. The residential areas in Hamburg are categorized into 8 types according to level of public transport and other service facilities. The costs of owning and operating car in each residential area are calculated on the base of the household automobile ownership and usage analysed through the actual survey The result of this analysis shows that the transportation cost of household is decreased In proportion to the level of Public transport and other service facilities. This analysis finds the structure of residential area, which economize energy consume and makes household actual transportation cost saying Possible. The result of the analysis can be used as a tool for influencing home locaion choice towards Public transportaion corridors.

Using existing tunnel for section enlargement and remodeling is being considered as an optimal alternative in order to solve traffic jam in tunnel. The existing method has been performed while blocking the traffic flow. Recently, New enlargement method was developed which can maintain traffic flow during the construction by using protector. It can minimize social loss due to keeping traffic flow. On the other hand, installing and operating protector can cause economic disadvantages. So, social cost estimation considering traffic flow should be considered for relevant economic evaluation of tunnel section enlargement methods. This paper presents the social cost estimation method of tunnel section enlargement methods considering traffic flow. In addition, to compare economic efficiency existing method with new method, suggested method was applied to Maebong Tunnel.
