This study aimed to improve the Traffic Accident Management System's validity and reliability, so the system could help classify and judge the human factors that correlate with traffic accidents. We took traffic accident research and analysis systems of United States and United Kingdom and certain related, former studies into account in building our test system. Next, we used the test system's criteria to re-analyze 502 Gyeonggi province accident records from 2008. We compared the results to existing systems' results to verify the test system's validity and reliability. These results indicated the necessity of removing some uncertain items from the existing systems and adding in some new items from the test system. This should help improve understanding of what happens at traffic accident scenes and of the sources of drivers' abnormal, reckless behavior. We introduce suggestions for improving the Traffic Accident Management System and research concepts for further studies.

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 is interested in aberrant driver behaviour. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of error and lapse on driving behaviour of elderly drivers. In order to estimate the errors and lapses, 'Driver Behaviour Questionnaire(DBQ) was used and tested with 883 drivers. Among them 175 of young drivers(younger than 25) and 150 of elderly drivers(older than 65) answered their driving patterns; driving history, annual mileage, the frequency of committing traffic violation, and experience of accident within 5 years. Elderly driver's data were collected by face to face interview. The factors of aberrant driver behaviour were analyzed and the DBQ score was compared by the age. The aberrant driver behaviour was consisted of 3 factors; violations, errors and lapses. Elderly driver's DBQ score was lower than young driver's. Elderly and young drivers showed longer driving history. were in low DBQ score group. Elderly drivers had high error score and young drivers had high violation score. Young driver's aberrant driving behaviour was associated with annual mileage, the frequency of committing traffic violation. Elderly driver's aberrant driving behaviour was associated with annual mileage, experience of accident. Specially elderly drivers, whose violation, error, lapse score was high answered more committing experience of accident within 5 years.

Road accidents are considered as the result of a complex interplay between road, vehicle, environments, and human factors. Little study, however, has been carried out on the attributes of human factor compared to the road geometric conditions and traffic conditions. The previous researches focused on mainly both traffic and geometric conditions on specific location. Therefore, it's hard to explain phenomenon of the high traffic accident rates where road and traffic conditions are good. Because of these reasons, accident analysis has contributed on geometric improvement and has not contributed on traffic management such as selection of attention section, driver napping alert, etc. The freeway incident management is also associated with reliable prediction of incident occurrences on freeway sections. This paper presents a method for estimating the effect of trip length on freeway accident rate. A PAR (Potential Accident Ratio), the new concept of accident analysis, considering TLFDs (Trip Length Frequency Distributions) is suggested in this paper. This approach can help to strengthen freeway management and to reduce the likelihood of accidents.

Different from general roads, intersections are the points where roads having different geometric structure and traffic operation system are met, and thereby they have complicated road structure and environmental factors. Various changes in driving patterns such as collision between vehicles approaching from roads adjacent to intersections, sudden stop of vehicles upon stop sign, quick start upon green lights kept increasing traffic accidents. It is known that traffic accidents are mainly derived from human factors. This study, in order to find out factors affecting drivers' behaviors within intersections, measured physiological responses such as brain wave, sight, driving speed, and so on by using state-of-the-art measuring device. As to concentration brain wave at individual intersections, it was found out that brain wave of testes was higher at main Arterial and accident-prone intersections compared with that of subsidiary Arterial. In addition, it was detected that drivers' visual activity was widely distributed at accident-prone intersections, meaning that it enhanced cautious driving from nearby vehicles. As to major factors causing drivers' workloads, factors from nearby vehicles such as deceleration, acceleration, lane change of nearby vehicles appeared as direct factors causing drivers' workloads, clarifying that these factors were closely related to causes of traffic accidents at intersections. Results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for evaluation of safety at intersections in consideration of physiological response of drivers.

The number of traffic accidents has been decreased since 2000; however, the downward trend of crash occurrence has been slower after 2006. A few decades ago, physical improvement projects such as alignment improvement and the installation of safety facilities were usually implemented to decrease the occurrence of traffic accidents, but the effects of physical improvement on safety have been gradually decreased. The main objective of this study is to identify how the drivers' characteristics affect and/or are related to traffic accidents. Most of previous works have focused on revealing the difference of the nature of the drivers between the drivers who have no experience and the drivers with experience of traffic accidents. This study tries to analyze the habitual accidents proneness through a survey of drivers' personalities for drivers who were involved in traffic accidents at least once. As a result, nine personality factors were found to be statistically significant: Neuroticism(N), Lie(L), Psychoticism* Neuroticism(PN), Psychoticism*Lie(PL), Extraversion*Lie(EL), Neuroticism*Lie(NL), Impulsiveness(IMP), Venturesomeness(VEN), Empathy(EMP). Among these factors, single character factors were found to increase accidents, whereas complex factors were found to decrease the occurrence of accidents.

In this study, we analyzed the result of new inspection, accidents, penalties, and operation records of the elderly driver's driving aptitude test in the city bus using the Transport Workers Management System and the Digital Tachograph Analysis System(eTAS). As a result of the analysis, the results of the driver aptitude test were similar when compared with the traffic company which has many bus drivers and the well - And it was confirmed that the average number of serious injuries and slight injuries in case of accidents was small. Comparing the number of dangerous driving behaviors per 100 km of driving, the elderly driver of the excellent company showed that the number of dangerous driving behaviors is considerably smaller than other elderly and non - elderly drivers, and that the result of correcting the wrong driving habits.

Highway is mainly in charge of middle-long distance of vehicular travel. Trip length has shown a growing trend due to increased commute distances by the relocation of public agencies. For this reason, the proportion of driver-driven accidents, caused by their fatigue or sleepiness, are very high on highways. However, existing studies related to accident prediction have mainly considered external factors, such as road conditions, environmental factors and vehicle factors, without driving behavior. In this study, we suggested an accident index (FDR, Fatigued Driving Rate) based on traffic behavior using large-scale Car Navigation path data, and exlpored the relationship between FDR and traffic accidents. As a result, FDR and traffic accidents showed a high correlation. This confirmed the need for a paradigm shift (from facilities to travel behavior) in traffic accident prediction studies. FDR proposed in this study will be utilized in a variety of fields. For example, in providing information to prevent traffic accidents (sleepiness, reckless driving, etc) in advance, utilization of core technologies in highway safety diagnostics, selection of priority location of rest areas and shelter, and selection of attraction methods (rumble strips, grooving) for attention for fatigued sections.
