This study was intended to validate and develop the driving stress coping behavior scale. In a preliminary investigation, literature studies on the driving stress and open questionnaire were administered and examined in four regions in Korea. As a result, 64 items driving stress questionnaire were developed. In the study, this Driving Stress Coping Behavior Scale(DS-CBS) was examined to 372 drivers located seven regions in Korea. The factors analysis revealed 2 meaningful factors[(Good Coping: GC), (Bad Coping: BC) with 24 items. When internal consistency for each 2 factor was calculated, all sub-scale revealed a satisfactory level of Cronbach's α. Also, correlations with Driver Coping Questionnaire(DCQ) and risk driving behaviors(speed driving, drunken driving, traffic violation, offence accident, defence accident) supported consistently validity of the Driving Stress Coping Behavior Scale(DS-CBS). Also, We investigated the influences of 'Good Coping', 'Bad Coping' consisting of driving stress coping behavior, on traffic accidents risk. As a result, 'Good Coping' and 'Bad Coping' influenced traffic accidents risk. 'Good Coping' had decreased effects, the other side 'Bad Coping' had increased effects on traffic accidents risk(TARI).

After empirically investigating the vehicle accident risks by age groups, various programs and policies have been imposed to reduce the old's risks in other countries. In Korea, it is little known the risk level by age groups and no policy changes has been implemented even if the number of vehicle accidents occurred by the old has been rapidly rising while the total number of vehicle accidents has been decreasing. This study empirically investigates the vehicle accident risks by age groups and the results show that the old drivers over age 65 has the highest accident risk except for the young drivers below age 25. Thus, we emphasize the necessity of reinforcing the qualifications for reissuing the drive licence and programs for educating the old drivers in Korea which is facing the most rapid population aging in the world. On the other hand, various changes are needed reflecting the old drivers such as reforming the road signs, issuing a sticker and providing them incentives such that the old drivers use the public transportation instead of self-driving.

In-vehicle warning information systems(IWIS) is an effective countermeasure for preventing traffic crashes. It provides drivers with warnng messages about upcoming hazards to draw proper evasive maneuvering. This study developed a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of IWIS based on an integrated index to identify driver's responsive behavior. The proposed index consists of characteristics of longitudinal and lateral behavior of vehicle maneuverings. Also, a method to assign mixed-weights in the context of multi-criteria decision making framework was adopted to develop the evaluation method. It is expected that the outcome of this study is useful in designing more effective in-vehicle warning information systems.

Freight car accidents occur frequently and have a high mortality. In this reason, freight can insurance fee has been raised drastically. But speeding and overloading of trucks are still not decreased. We need to consider a measure about voluntary safe driving of truck drivers. We select UBI(Usage-Based insurance) as a measure for safe driving of truck drivers. UBI is a car insurance system and insurance fee is flexible. If vehicle drivers drive safely, insurance fee is discounted. The other way, if vehicle drivers drive dangerously, insurance fee is increased. In now, very high insurance fee for truck drivers, UBI is a effective way for leading a truck driver to safe driving. The most important thing in UBI is to evaluate truck driver rationally and accurately. In this paper, we select the reasons of truck accidents and develop driving evaluation model from multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis with accident reasons and truck accidents.

졸음운전으로 인한 교통사고는 매년 꾸준하게 일어나 이에 대한 다방면의 해결책이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 위 문제를 개선하고자 ChatGPT와 영상처리를 이용한 졸음 감지 시스템을 구현하였다. 이 시스템은 운전자의 얼굴 부분을 영상처리로 인식하여 눈동자의 종횡비를 구해 PERCLOS 공식에 따른 운전자의 졸음을 판별시키고, 경고와 동시에 ChatGPT가 운전자에게 특정 주제를 키워드로 TTS와 STT를 통해 대화한다. 운전자의 졸음을 판별하기 위해 임베디드 보드에서 연결된 캠을 통해 졸음 판별을 하고, ChatGPT도 마찬가지로 보드에서 연결한 스피커, 마이크를 통해 운전자와 대화한다. 이를 활용하여 운전자의 졸음 자각을 통한 안전운전 및 사고 발생률의 감소를 기대할 수 있다.

교통안전공단이 운전자 400명을 대상을 졸음운전 실태를 조사한 결과 최근 1주일간 10명 중 4명이 졸음운전을 경험했으며, 그 중 19%는 사고가 날 뻔한 '아차사고' 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났다고 밝혔다. 이에 따라 운전자들의 졸음운전을 예방하기 위한 시스템의 존재가 시급하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 운전자의 졸음운전 사고를 예방하기 위한 운전 방지 기법을 제시한다.

자동차 이용자 수가 증가 할수록 자동차 사고로 인한 피해도 많이 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 자동차 사고를 사전에 예방하기 위해서는 운전자의 상태 및 현재 차량 상태를 파악하여 사고를 미리 방지함으로서 운전자의 안전을 보조할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 안전운전을 보조하기 위하여 졸음운전 여부 감지 시스템, 후진시 후방 안전거리를 감지하는 시스템, 쾌적한 운전 환경을 위한 실내 환경 측정 시스템, 주차 시 생길 수 있는 사고에 대한 감시시스템을 센서와 MCU등을 이용한 임베디드 시스템을 구현 하였다.

Recently there have been an increasing amount of bicycle accidents along with the increased usage of bicycles. Bicycle accidents occur frequently by perpendicular collision at the inner intersection. Bicycle traffic is especially concentrated in residential areas and around schools which results in the vulnerability of cyclists. This paper is to inform the potential risks of collisions between bicycles and cars turning right at the intersections using simulation analysis which focuses on the pavement edge of intersection geometric designs factor and checks on the drivers behavior. The result of the analysis shows that as the curve radius of pavement edge at the intersection becomes larger and the more attention drivers are paying to the rear by turning their heads to the right, the potential risk of collisions between bicycles and cars turning right will decrease.

The purpose of this research is to propose an effective traffic safety countermeasure to reduce both violations of road traffic acts and accident rates related to the driver's characteristics by measuring them using Q analysis method, a microscopic statistics analysis method. As a result, violators of the road traffic act could be divided into five driving characteristics and causers of traffic accident could be classified into six driving characteristics. By understanding these characteristics, We could establish a proper traffic safety countermeasure for each driving characteristic. The accomplishments of this research are as follows: The first, We could classify the decisive driving characteristics, which cause road traffic acts and traffic accidents, into internal and external causes. The relationship between each driver's characteristic and the occurrence of the road traffic act and traffic accident could be recognized more clearly. We could find the dangerous driver samples who have Accidents proneness. The second, As a result of analyzing the characteristics of these factors, We could sort out and suggest countermeasure for reducing violation of road traffic acts and traffic accidents as a priority countermeasure and complementary countermeasure. Finally, transportation companies most closely related to automobile accidents can judge new personnels on the basis of their driving characteristics before hiring, and also apply this principle to the traffic safety education vigorously.

최근 자동차 산업의 활성화로 인해 교통사고 급증이 사회 문제화 되면서 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 운전자 보조 시스템 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 일반적으로 자동차 사고 원인의 70% 이상이 운전자 과실에 의해서 발생되고 전체 추돌사고의 75%가 시속 29km 이하의 속도에서 발생한다. 이를 예방하기 위해서 운전자의 인지 판단을 보조하는 시스템의 개발이 많이 이루어지고 있는데, 예를 들어 자동 주차 시스템, AVM(Around View Monitoring) 시스템 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 AVM 시스템 중 원근 왜곡을 보정하는 단계에서 직선 및 교점을 검출할 때, NMS(Non-Maximum Suppression)를 적용한 허프 변환 방법을 사용할 것이다. 또한 기존의 Sub-Pixel을 이용한 직선 및 교점 검출 방법과 NMS을 적용한 허프 변환 방법을 사용한 직선 및 교점을 검출하는 방법을 비교 분석함으로써 제안하는 NMS를 적용한 허프변환을 이용한 직선 및 교점을 검출하는 방법을 사용하여 보다 효율적인 AVM 시스템의 구현 가능성을 검증한다.
