현재 우리나라는 자동차 수의 폭발적인 증가에도 불구하고 전체적인 교통사고 건수는 감소되는 추세를 보이고 있는데 반해 고속도로에서 발생하는 사고는 증가 추세를 보이고 있다. 따라서 고속도로의 사고 특성을 파악하여 사고를 감소시키기 위한 다양한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 다양한 사고 유발요인들과 사고 데이터 제공의 한계로 인해 고속도로 교통사고의 특성에 대해 명확히 규명한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 전국고속도로 3개년도(2013~2015)의 자료를 활용하여 전국 고속도로 교통사고의 특성을 파악하고 사고건당 EPDO(Equivalent Property Damage Only)를 계산하여 EPDO 값과 사고원인별, 도로 기하구조별, 기상조건, 운전자 성별, 나이대별 등 여러 사고 조건과의 상관관계를 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다.

This study aims to analyze the accidents of green mode bicycle. In pursuing the above, this study gave special emphasis on modeling the bicycle accidents reflecting the regional characteristics. The main results are as follows. First, the null hypotheses that the number of accident and ratio of serious injury and fatality (FSI) were the same over regions were rejected. Second, as the common variables, the number of bicycle was judged to have positive (+) impact to the accidents and the bicycle using ratio was inferred to increase the ratio of FSI. Third, the elderly population ratio among 3 factors which gave impact to the accidents of Si_A (city-county consolidation) was concluded to have the greatest elasticity. The developed area ratio between 2 factors in Si_B (city which is not consolidated) was, however, estimated to have the higher elasticity. Fourth, the number of car registration among 5 accident factors of Gun (county) was analyzed to have the greatest elasticity. Finally, the commuting trip ratio among 7 accident factors of Gu (district) was judged to have the greatest elasticity. This study can be expected to give some implications to regional policy-making related to bicycle.

Them traffic accidents have been increased every year due to increasing of vehicles numbers as well as the gravitation of the population. The carelessness of drivers, many road weather factors have a great influence on the traffic accidents. Especially, the number of traffic accident is governed by precipitation, visibility, humidity, cloud amounts and temperature. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effect of road weather factors on traffic accident. We use the data of traffic accident, AWS weather factors (precipitation, existence of rainfall, temperature, wind speed), time zone and day of the week in 2013. We did statistical analysis using logistic regression analysis and decision tree analysis. These prediction models may be used to predict the traffic accident according to the weather condition.

Fatalities from traffic accidents constitute one of the major health issues as well as safety ones in Korea. It has been reported that traffic accident is affected by the combined effects of road. vehicle. and human factors. Over the past few decades, a number of studies have been conducted to find the impact of road geometric factors on traffic safety. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of road geometric factors on traffic safety on Korean expressways. Detailed geometric design data were available from Korea Highway Corporation. Five-year traffic accident data on Honam expressway were collected and analyzed. It was found that following geometric factors influence traffic safety on expressways : radius of curve, curve length, and length of straight section. Furthermore, the existence of I.C. turned out to have a significant impact on traffic safety level. Based on the data analysis several multiple regression forms that relate traffic accident frequencies and geometric factors on expressways are developed.

최근 대규모 선박 및 해양플랜트 사고 발생을 계기로 각국의 정부와 관련 업계에서는 안전사고 예방을 위한 규제를 강화하고 기업차원의 안전관리도 철저히 점검하고 있다. 선박사고의 경우에는 1989년 "엑슨발데스호" 사고를 계기로 국제해사기구(IMO) 주도하에 유조선의 "2중 선체 의무화"를 추진했으며, 2012년에는 전 세계적으로 공식 시행되고 있다. 해양플랜트 사고의 경우에는 1988년 북해(North Sea)에서 발생한 Piper Alpha 폭발사고를 계기로 인적요인에 대한 관심이 높아졌으며, 2010년 멕시코만에서 발생한 "딥워터호라이즌호" 사고 이후 시추작업에 대한 안전점검과 인적오류 예방 및 관리를 위한 훈련을 강화하고 있다(배영일, 2012). 일반적으로 해양플랜트 사고의 원인은 구조물 자체의 오류가 20%이하이며, 예기치 못한 작업자의 행동으로 발생된 사고가 80% 이상을 차지하고 있다. 즉, 대부분의 사고는 operation 또는 maintenance 동안 발생하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 발표에서는 해양플랜트 산업에서의 사고와 관련된 최근 연구현황 및 향후 연구 방향을 소개하고자 한다.

Seoul has 424 traffic fatalities in 2010 and 227 of them related to pedestrian crashes. In addition, it revealed that 40% of pedestrian fatalities occurred during jaywalking. Through the effective methods preventing jaywalking can save lots of people, and it can reduce social costs pertinent to pedestrian crashes. Therefore, this study is to suggest the methods preventing jaywalking through conducting literature reviews, human factors with pedestrian and vehicle characteristics, as well as geometric features of accident site or spot. Firstly, in order for examining the contributing factors of accident, this research conducts statistical analysis on pedestrian accidents specifically in jaywalking. Secondly, the analysis on human factors about pedestrian and drivers revealed that drivers with high speed play pivotal roles in pedestrian fatalities. Thirdly, Road and environment factors showed both expected and contradictory results through analyzing total numbers of lane or dry/icy pavement conditions. Consequently, this study can be used to prevent and alleviate pedestrian accidents as well as expected to be applied to future researches about pedestrian safety facilities.

The purposes of this study were to develop an instrument to measure high school students' systems thinking and to validate the scale. The scale of systems thinking was made up for 5 factors - systems thinking, mental model, shared vision, personal mastery, and team learning through analyses of related literature. Six items per factor were constructed and the scale consisted of a total of 30 items for the pretest. After exploratory factor analysis, the number of total items was reduced to 20 items. For the main test, 280 students were sampled from high school and analyzed valid cases were 260 students. The finding of the exploratory factor analysis indicated 5 factors in the model, and 4 items per single factor. The result of confirmatory factor analysis was generally appropriate and acceptable (5 factor model: $x^2/df$=1.275, TLI=.946, CFI=.959, RMSEA=.033). The reliability for 20 items turned out to be reliable because the Cronbach's alphas were .840 and .604~.723 per each factor. This study should be expanded to various school levels and should be standardized for further research. The subsequent studies regarding diverse learning program development and implementation and the verification on the students' impact within the developed program can be recommended.

At present, there is a no rational MOE for evaluating hazard level at curve sections. Therefore, this study focus on developing the MOE and algorithm for hazard level at curve sections. The scopes of this study limited to rural two-way roads. Actual data used is accident, geometric features, safety facilities of the selected sites at curve sections. In order to develop MOE for hazard level at curve sections, accident contributing factors were classified by road geometry, visual guidance facility, speed and driver factor. A relationship between the four factors mentioned and accidents was conducted. And, the MOE for hazard level at curve sections was derived from the previous relationship analysis, and the algorithm for hazard level was developed. Finally, worksheets were suggested based on the MOE and algorithm for road designers. These developed MOE and algorithm can be used to reduce serious accident contributing factors when designing roads and also, these will be used to determine an order of priority when reconstructing roads.

Fatal accidents in the construction industry account for a higher proportion than other industries, and in particular, the collapse accident of formwork is likely to lead to a serious accident like death. This study aim to derive the importance ranking of formwork collapse factors using AHP technique for preventing fatal accident. The AHP survey was conducted on field construction engineers, construction project managers, safety managers, and formwork specialist foreman with 10 years on site experience. The results of AHP analysis is that the most importance factor of formwork collapse accident is 'non-compliance with the formwork shoring assembly drawing'. Next it is important in the order of 'poor installation of formwork shoring and accessories', 'formwork shoring is not installed vertically', 'non-compliance with the concrete curing period of the formwork shoring', 'safety supervisor not designated and negligent'. It is necessary to preferentially and intensively manage the high importance factors presented as a result of this research for reducing formwork collapse accident. In addition, it will contribute to reducing construction safety accidents if the factors of the formwork collapse accident suggested in this research are included in the formwork inspection check list and checked step by step in formwork construction.
