교통사고의 원인은 인적 요인, 차량적 요인, 도로 환경적 요인으로 분류된다. 주어진 도로 환경과 차량 조건하에서는 운전자가 마지막으로 안전을 제어할 책임을 지고 있다. 따라서, 교통사고를 사전에 예방하기 위하여 운전자의 교통법규 위반 행위에 대하여는 도로교통법에 근거하여 징역, 벌금, 구류, 과료, 과태료, 범칙금에 처하고 있다. 교통법규 위반 행위 단속 시에는 교통사고 유발 가능성과 위험도에 따라 단속의 강약을 포함하여 차등화된 처벌이 이루어져야 한다. 교통 범칙금 기준 제시를 위하여 1991~1995년의 5년간 교통사고 및 교통법규 위반을 분석한 결과 전체 교통법규 위반 단속 중 교통사고를 야기하는 동적 위반 행위인 사고관련 위반 행위 단속의 비율이 44%로 일본의 61%에 비해 매우 낮은 수준이다. 따라서 사고유발 가능성에 근거한 교통법규 위반 행위 단속의 강화가 필요하다. 한편 범칙금 부과방안으로 피해도 모형과 빈도 모형을 비교한 결과 교통법규 위반 행위로 인해 발생된 교통사고 비용을 고려한 피해도 모형은 범칙금의 차등화가 분명하지 않고 변별력이 뚜렷이 나타나지 않아 적합하지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 교통법규 위반 행위에 따른 빈도 모형은 교통사고 건수와 사망사고 건수의 가중치(w)설정을 위해 동적 위반행위가 우리나라와 유사한 일본 자료와 비교한 결과 가중치가 한국=0.7, 일본=0.8일 때 상대적으로 $x^2$가 31.71로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 따라서, 사고건수에 대한 가중치는 0.7로 사망사고에 대한 가중치는 0.3을 적용하였다. 마지막으로 현행 범칙금과 제안된 범칙금을 비교분석하였다.

This study was to evaluate the level of traffic safety related to domestic traffic accidents by analyzing the international comparison of road traffic accident indicators and to set goals and directions of traffic accidents in Korea in the future. The research procedure was as follows: First, population, number of registered vehicles, roadway length, vehicle kilometers, injury accidents, fatalities, injuries were collected in 32 OECD countries. Second, we determined Korea's traffic safety rankings through international comparison of traffic accident rate. Finally, we analyzed the level of traffic safety by comparing Korea with the 7 advanced countries with the traffic accident rate per vehicle kilometers. The accident rate in Korea was greater than two times higher than those of the seven major developed countries, which showed that the level of traffic safety in Korea implied very low. Target values for domestic accidents were proposed based on the accident rate.

A traffic island, typical channelization facilities, is widely applied to newly road designs and black spots improvement projects as traffic safety measures. However positive effects of a traffic island for traffic safety have not been reported specifically. Accordingly this study analyzed the accidents reduction effectiveness and economics of installing traffic islands under various roadways and traffic conditions. For this purpose normality test, paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied to this study based on traffic accidents, roadways and traffic environments data for 3 years before and after improvement at 54 intersections. The results showed that most of traffic accidents were reduced significantly after installing traffic islands except when traffic islands were installed in outside of cities and farming regions where use efficiency is low, curve sections with poor visibility, poor alignment sections with acceleration/deceleration lanes, road sections where occurs conflicts frequently due to did not install of acceleration/deceleration lanes, and road sections where cross with single lane road.

In order to prevent various accidents with construction machinery, Korea enacted the Construction Machinery Management Act to enhance safety. Until now, there has been a lack of systematic research related to traffic accidents with construction machinery. Therefore, domestic and foreign systems related to construction machinery were reviewed, and the current status was analyzed based on traffic accident data over the past 5 years to derive implications. It is necessary to ensure the safety of construction machinery by correcting institutional loopholes and preparing follow-up measures. In addition, it is necessary to create a separate traffic-safety education program for construction machinery operators to create an environment that can comply with safe road-driving methods and traffic laws.

In these days, frequency of constructions on e freeway are increasing according as growing of the importance of e road maintenance and the road management. Work zone on the freeway where vehicles pass with high speed needs control method of lane closure and construction equipment. Because there are seldom researches in domestic study about reflecting characteristics of domestic road, sometimes we have applied for foreign cases to our traffic circumstance but it is not proper to apply for standard of other countries in our cases. foreign nation has different country square, condition of road, and level of people mind. Therefore, this study shows traffic accident characteristics in freeway work zones in Korea. At first, this study collected traffic accident data which include for 3 years $2003{\sim}2005$ in the whole freeway in Korea and then divided the data to five parts - level of the accident, type of the construction work, type of the accident, reason of the accident, according to geometric. According to comparing with non-work zones accident, this study found traffic accident characteristics in freeway work zones in Korea and suggested some alternative ideas for safety of work zones.

The current traffic accident reduction procedure in economic feasibility study does not consider the characteristics of road and V/C ratio. For solving this problem, this paper suggests methods to be able to evaluate safety of each road in construction and improvement through developing accident Prediction model in reflecting V/C ratio Per road types and traffic characters. In this paper as primary process, model is made by tke object of urban roads. Most of all, factor effecting on accident relying on road types is selected. At this point, selecting criteria chooses data obtained from road planning procedure, traffic volume, existence or non-existence of median barrier, and the number of crossing point, of connecting road. and of traffic signals. As a result of analyzing between each factor and accident. all appear to have relatives at a significant level of statistics. In this research, models are classified as 4-categorized classes according to roads and V/C ratio and each of models draws accident predicting model through Poisson regression along with verifying real situation data. The results of verifying models come out relatively satisfactory estimation against real traffic data. In this paper, traffic accident prediction is possible caused by road's physical characters by developing accident predicting model per road types resulted in V/C ratio and this result is inferred to be used on predicting accident cost when road construction and improvement are performed. Because data using this paper are limited in only province of Jeollabuk-Do, this paper has a limitation of revealing standards of all regions (nation).

On freeways, factors inducing traffic accidents consist of two major elements such as driver factors and road environment factors. Research have been done and shown that there would be relationship between design elements such as radius, slopes, superelevations, and observed speeds and accident rates. The present paper confirms that these elements are correlated with accident rates. Furthermore, the paper identifies standard deviation of these elements as the design consistency and compare them with reduction of accident rates. This type of work leads to identify the fact that standard deviations based design consistency are correlated with accident rates. The results of the paper may contribute to encourage the quantified use of design consistency during highway design.

본 연구는 사고요인과 사고모형의 문헌고찰을 통해 고속도로를 주행하는 버스와 화물차의 사고모형을 개발하고 그 적용방안에 대해 고찰하고자 수행되었다. 고속도로 사고 중 대형차로 인한 차량당 사고율은 승용차보다 월등히 높아 사고의 심각성을 나타내고 있으며, 따라서 이에 대한 별도의 검토가 필요한 시점에 와 있다. 특히 본 연구에 활용된 자료는 비집계된 사상자수로 구간자료를 집합화함으로써 발생하는 문제점을 해소할 수 있다. 모형의 분석기법으로 국내의 경우, 대부분 단순회귀식으로 사고모형을 개발, 적용하여 왔으나 사고수와 사상자수의 특성상 이산적 확률변수로 해석하여 포아송분포와 음이항분포로 적용하는 것이 바람직하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 버스와 화물차의 사고유형별로 적합한 사고 모형을 개발하여 이로 인한 인사사고 요인에 대한 영향을 분석하고 그 적용방안을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구는 도로설계, 운영, 교통법규, 교통행정 등의 분야에서 거시적인 정책적 방향성을 제시하리라 판단된다. 특히 본 연구는 고속도로 운영주체인 한국도로공사의 고속도로사고조서를 바탕으로 사고유형별 사고모형을 개발, 적용한 것으로 고속도로의 안정성 향상을 위한 제반 정책 수립에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement measures focusing on traffic accidents in apartment complexes that occur to children among life safety accidents. Roads in most apartment complexes are not "roads" under the Road Traffic Act. In addition, there is no mandatory punishment or regulations, so the perception of the danger of traffic accidents in apartment complexes is very low. Recent, traffic in automobiles and motorcycles is increasing in the apartment complex, and traffic accidents are frequently occurring due to low safety awareness for both drivers and pedestrians. Accordingly, this study attempted to identify cases of traffic accidents in children's apartment complexes and to present problems and improvement measures for accidents. Problems of traffic accidents through child traffic accidents The current affairs are meaningful in that they are aware of dangers to children, carers, and drivers, and suggest traffic safety measures in apartment complexes.
