본 연구는 요인분석을 통해 노인 보행자 사고 유형을 대표할 수 있는 성분 값을 계산하고 군집분석을 실시하여 노인 보행자 사고 취약 지역을 선정하는 모델을 확인하였다. 기존 노인보행자 사고에 관한 연구는 보행 환경 분석 및 노인보행자 사고 특성을 확인한 뒤, 제도적, 물리적 환경 개선 등에 대한 정책 제언의 형식으로 진행되었다. 이러한 연구는 실질적으로 노인 보행자 특성을 분석하여 사고를 감소시키는 연구가 아닌, 일반적으로 알려진 사실이나 해외 사례를 들어 노인 보행자 사고의 현 실태에 대해 어느 정도 환기만 시켜주는 역할로 그쳤다. 이러한 점에서 군집분석을 통한 노인 보행자 사고 취약지역 선정은 노인 보행자 사고 특성의 비교를 명확하게 할 수 있도록 새로운 기준을 제시하였다. 이에 기존의 방법론에서 벗어나 실질적으로 노인 보행자 사고 방지 대책이 시급한 지역을 선정하였고, 노인 보행자 사고에 관해 활발히 연구 시킬 것이라 예상한다. 군집분석을 사용하는 핵심은 사망자 수와 사망률이 상대적으로 동시에 높은 군집을 선정할 수 있고 지역 특성 비교를 통해 향후 노인 보행자 사고에 관한 추가 연구가 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Pedestrian performance measurement has generally used the average values of pedestrian volumes and speeds from a sample, although each individual's pedestrian behavior of the sample is mainly affected by his/her socio-economic and physical characteristics. In particular, if such individual characteristics of the sample have wide variations, the average values are hard to be representative. In this respect, this study found that a platoon of pedestrians had a major effect on their pedestrian flows on sidewalks. The more platoons was mixed on pedestrian roads, the lower pedestrian flow rate was. The indexes such as a pedestrian flow rate and an occupancy space are typically calculated by pedestrian volumes in a given period of time regardless of the existence of a platoon. However, it is plausible that a pedestrian speed and a level of pedestrian congestion can be different under the equal amount of pedestrian volumes. Therefore, this study suggested criteria for determining level of service for pedestrian considering platoon effects and confirmed that two places had different pedestrian LOSs because of the platoon effects, even if they showed the same pedestrian flow rate.

The effort of transferring some parts of urban functions to the underground space is growing trend among modem cities because of the limit of horizontal land use, the rise of land value, the diversification of human desire, etc. Thus, the basement of building and the subway station have deepened. It calls our attention to safety about evacuation from the underground space to the ground. Until now, the study about crowding walk in stairs has been progressed, focusing on the crowding walk that is going down the stairs, and there is no study about crowding walk that is going up the stairs. This study measured walking pace by crowd density that is going up the stairs in the subway station stairs making one-way movement of crowd. The actual survey showed that the mathematical relation 'V=0.638-0.0949p' determines going up walking velocity at a gradient of $23^{\circ}$, and the mathematical relation will be 'V=0.597-0.1067p' at a gradient of $30^{\circ}$, when it is converted, based on the average walking velocity of crowd by the slope of the stairs which is recommended by Architectural Institute of Japan.

The paper analyzes factors to affect pedestrian volumes by land-use type using 2012 Seoul Pedestrian Survey. First of all, five groups were classified based on land-use types around survey points such as residential, commercial, industrial and green uses, using k-average cluster analysis. Then, differences in average pedestrian volumes by group were compared for a day and time of day. In addition, multiple regression analysis was employed to identify factors to affect pedestrian volumes, considering physical features, land use types, public transportation accessibility, and socio-economic indices as independent variables by spatial hierarchy. Model results show that the walkway width positively influenced on pedestrian volumes for all groups, whereas other variables differently affected by group. Our results can be used as basic data for establishing polices with respect to pedestrian road design and improvement as well as estimating pedestrian demand by land-use type.

In this paper, we proposed a Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) to search the optimal link lengths for legged walking robot. In order to apply the PSO algorithm for the proposed, its walking robot kinematic analysis is needed. A crab robot based on four-bar linkage mechanism and Jansen mechanism is implemented in H/W. For the performance index of PSO, the stride length of the legged walking robot is defined, based on the propose kinematic analysis. Comparative simulation results present to illustrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this study, nonhierarchical K-mean cluster analysis is used to classify the types of 230 local governments and the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis analysis are used to analyze the characteristics of pedestrian accidents by region types. With empirical analysis of pedestrian accidents, this study suggests improvements of walking environments reflecting local characteristics. Type 1-A (relatively dominant urban commercial areas), Type 1-B (predominantly urban residence) and Type 2 (rural areas) have been classified using nonhierarchical K-mean cluster analysis. According to the results, pedestrian accident rate on community roads was more than 60% for all types and incidence rate in rural areas was higher than that in urban areas. In addition, pedestrian accidents of Type 1-B have been found to occur more frequently than Type 2 in intersections and crossings, while the number of roadside casualties for Type 2 was highest.

본 연구는 국내의 고령화 추세와 고령자시설 현황을 고찰하고 일반인과 고령자의 군집형성시 보행속도를 측정하여 고령자를 고려한 피난안전설계의 기초자료로 제시하기 위한 연구이다. 군집보행속도 측정결과 고령자가 전방에 배치되었을 때 평균 0.81m/s로 가장 감소하였으며, 고령자 비율이 증가할수록 전체 보행속도는 감소하였다. 향후 피난안전설계를 위하여 고령자의 피난행동특성을 고려한 다양한 연구를 통한 DATA 확보가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) 기법을 이용한 이족보행로봇의 보행 계획방법을 제안한다. 이족보행로봇의 보행 프리미티브를 기반으로 PSO의 학습 및 군집 특성을 이용하여 장애물이 있는 작업공간에서 보행 계획을 수행하였다. 먼저 PSO의 탐색알고리즘을 사용하여 장애물을 회피하는 실행 가능한 보행 프리미티브들의 순서를 찾아내고 탐색된 순서를 바탕으로 경로 최적화 알고리즘을 수행하는 보행 계획방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 PSO 기반 이족보행로봇의 보행 계획방법은 모의실험을 통하여 발걸음 탐색 시간이 줄고 최적화된 보행 경로를 생성하는 것을 검증하였다.

Despite the increasing importance of pedestrians and their walking individualities, walking activity time characteristics are yet to be studied. This study analyzes the walking activity time characteristics by group using the Time Use Survey data. In order to analyze the characteristics of each pedestrian group, cluster analysis and correspondence analysis were performed by dividing the walking styles into utilitarian and leisure-purpose walking. Those who did not undertake utilitarian walking were mainly the worker group, whereas subjects who walked could be classified into homemaker and student groups. The peak of the student group appeared clearly in the morning, with a dispersed peak obtained during the afternoon. Although the peak of the homemaker group was not precise, it was confirmed that they mainly walked in the afternoon. The worker group also did not participate in leisure-purpose walking, while the elderly group mostly undertook walking for leisure. These walking activity time characteristics of pedestrians are expected to be applied when establishing related pedestrian policies.

전 세계적으로 평균수명이 연장되고 있으며 고령자의 수가 증가하고 있는 가운데 특히 국내는 빠르게 고령화 사회로 진입하고 있다. 그러나 건축물 화재시 일반성인보다 피난이 난해한 고령자가 거주하는 시설의 피난안전규정은 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있으며 구체적인 방안 또한 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시니어장비를 이용해 일반성인과 고령자의 자유보행속도 및 군집형성시 보행속도를 조사하여 재해약자의 존재가 전체의 보행에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 향 후 고령자, 유아등 재해약자의 피난안전을 위한 방안의 기초 DATA의 자료로 사용하고자 한다.
