With the increase of truck traffic, roads are becoming more congested and the risk of accidents is also increasing. Since the fatality rate of traffic accidents caused by trucks is about 2 to 3 times higher than that of passenger cars and buses, it is urgent to prepare policies for truck traffic safety. While most of the previous studies focused on factor analysis that contributes to traffic accidents, this study presented traffic safety policies (4 major-criteria and 12 sub-criteria) for trucks through driver interviews and previous studies. Then, the priority of the policies was evaluated by using Fuzzy-AHP. As a result, the improvement of truck drivers' working environment was evaluated as the most important criteria, and followed by the improvement of road traffic conditions. In detail, there is an urgent need to improve the freight car fare system, ensure sufficient rest for drivers, and strengthen the crackdown of illegal parking and stopping along roads. This study is expected to be usefully utilized in preparing traffic flow safety policies in preparation for the continuous increase of truck traffic.

해상교통 관제 서비스는 해상교통량의 폭주, 위험화물의 증가와 잠재적인 환경오염의 위험 등에서 항만의 안전 또는 항만운영 효율성 제고하기 위해 실시하는 통항서비스로 VTS 구역 내에서 주변상황 및 해상교통상황을 적시에 제공하여 선박에서 항해의사 결정과정에 도움이 될 수 있도록 정보서비스 등을 제공하고 있으며 실제로 안전한 해상교통에 많은 도움을 주고 있는 것이 사실이다. 우리나라 전 연안 및 항만에서 운영하고 14개소의 VTS 및 연안 VTS 서비스를 제공하고 있다. VTS 관제사는 선박운항자와 마찬가지로 관제하고 있는 항만이나 연안의 지형적 특성에 따라 선박의 안전한 운항을 위해 선박과 선박 사이 및 선박과 육지(장해물)와의 최소안전거리를 두고 관제를 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 각 VTS 관제사들이 관제하는 안전이격거리를 개인별로 조사함으로써 VTS 관제사간의 안전이격거리를 조사함에 그 목적이 있다. 설문조사 결과 같은 VTS 소속임에도 불구하고 개인별로 관제하는 최소안전거리가 많은 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

울산항은 1996년 9월부터 입출항 선박의 항행안전을 위해 VTS 시스템을 설치운영하고 있으나 많은 선박통항량과 위험화물 운송선박의 잦은 운항으로 여러 가지 위험요소가 상존하고 있는 개항장이다. VTS 시스템은 레이더의 자동물표추적장치에 의한 데이터, PORT-MIS의 선박관련 데이터 등 많은 정보들이 분산 처리되어 관제사에게 제공되고 있으나 최근 선박에 설치 운영되고 있는 선박자동식별장치(AIS)에 의해 선박의 정보들이 더욱 신속하고 정확하게 처리되는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 인위적인 과실에 의한 AIS의 오류정보들과 원활하지 못한 데이터통신에 의한 데이터 누락현상에 의해 VTS 시스템 운용에 막대한 영향을 초래하고 있다. 이러한 인위적인 과실에 의한 AIS의 오류 데이터는 PSC 검사관들의 적극적인 개선의지로 정책적인 계도작업을 수행하고 있으므로 점차 개선될 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 AIS의 원활하지 못한 통신망에 의한 데이터 누락 현상에 의한 VTS 시스템에서의 영향을 조사 분석하고 이에 따른 개선 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

국제 해상물동량(해상화물 수송량은 10년 사이에 매년 평균 4.3%씩)의 증가에 따라 해양사고의 발생 빈도도 높아지고 있으며, 사고의 규모도 대형화 되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라 해상에서의 선박 위험도 저감을 위한 많은 시스템들이 개발/운영되고 있지만, 대부분 실시간 위치정보를 기반으로 충돌위험 등을 분석하고 있고, 선박간의 충돌 외의 선박의 주변 환경에 대한 고려는 미비한 실정이다. 실제 해상에서의 통항량 및 10년간 사고를 분석하여, 충돌등 사고가 많은 남동부 해역(여수/통영/진해)의 통항패턴, 교차구역 및 해양사고 특성을 분석해보고, 이에 따라 Sector별 특징적 집중 관제 방안을 마련하여, 선제적 안전 서비스 방안을 연구하고자 한다.

Commerce enriches human life enriched and within commerce, transportation of cargo is arguably the most important in business transactions. Traditionally, marine transport has been major commercial transaction, but carriage cargo by air is on the increase. While the fare for freight in comparison with that of ocean is higher, air freight has many benefits that justify the higher shipping fee; lower insurance premium, packing charges, inventory control, cost management and especially speed. Therefore, air freight transport is accumulating gradually. An air waybill(AWB) is needed in the air transport flow. It is a nonnegotiable security, so the holder cannot transfer of a right to a third party. Some scholars suggest that a negotiable AWB is needed. However, it seems nearly impossible to do so; an e-AWB use shows a gain in numbers, even if it has not met expectations. Going forward, it would appear reasonable to conduct a follow-up study on the utility and legal problem for e-AWB. After sending goods, the consignor has the right of disposition of cargo in some cases, and more research is necessary, because it is related to change of ownership and a trade settlement. According to WATS (World Airlines Transport Statistics), the Korean Air took third place in international freight in 2014, and fifth in total, domestic and international to great acclaim. However, there is a lack of research supporting the business showing. It is hope that more studies on e-AWB, stoppage in transit, and a risk of outstanding amount, etc. connect to develop Korean air freight industry.

Following the application of Formal Safety Assessment(FSA) to bulk carriers, crude oil tankers and large passenger ships, an urgent need to consider the safety of general cargo ships has recently been raised through the International Maritime Organization(IMO)(IMO, 2006a), and related FSA studies are being carried out by International Association of Classification Societies(IACS) as a preparatory work for the discussion on the issue of general cargo ship safety in the IMO committee. FSA is a structured and systematic methodology which is based on the techniques of risk analysis and cost benefit assessment to assist in the decision-making process, and aims at enhancing maritime safety, including protection of life, health, the marine environment and property. FSA can be used as a tool to facilitate the development of regulatory changes equitable to the various parties, with a view to aiding the achievement of consensus, and to help in the evaluation of new regulations and in making a comparison between existing and possibly improved regulations(IMO, 2007). This study aims at verifying the usefulness of FSA methods as a tool to conduct a safety assessment of general cargo ships flying the Korean flag, and providing useful information on 'the safety of general cargo ships' for IMO committee's discussion on the matter at a future session. FSA comprises five steps, however, steps 1(Hazard identification) and 2 (Risk analysis) from the FSA study for the Korean-flagged general cargo ships are discussed in this paper.

The Switched Bill of Lading(SBL) has been in frequent use in recent years as intermediary trade increases with the growing number of companies' overseas subsidiaries. Its frequent use, though, has brought about disputes regarding its illegal issue. Although there are several legal cases regarding this, studies on this issue are hard to find. Therefore, this study tries to provide countermeasures and precautions against unlawful issues of SBL through examining the legal cases resulting from illegal issuing practices of SBL. When the Switched Bill of Lading is issued, the shipper, consignee, port of loading and unloading, and shipping date of the original bill of lading are usually changed. Statements which may put the shipper at a disadvantageous position may also be deleted and/or the bill of lading may be either divided or integrated when it is issued. However, if the carrier issues the SBL 1)without withdrawing original BL, 2)indicating the shipping date, port of loading and port of discharge falsely, or 3)deleting the statements which may give him disadvantages, it may be regarded as an illegal issue. These unlawful issues of SBL may pose a huge threat to the shipper, banks and the parties relating to the trade. That is, the shipper may take a substantial loss when the goods can be delivered to a third party by SBL without his collecting the proceeds. The issuing bank and the negotiating bank may also have their security rights to the goods hampered by the illegal and improper issue of SBL. In most cases, the carrier has no choice but to issue the SBL without collecting the original BL for fear of hurting the relationship with the intermediary traders. This practice of issuing more than two sets of BL may pose a potential risk to the carrier.

Purpose: Dietary fiber is a component of carbohydrate that is linked closely with the carbohydrate quality, but few studies have investigated the association of high fiber intake with the cardiometabolic risk factors in Koreans. This study examined the association of high fiber and high carbohydrate intake with the cardiometabolic risk factors among Korean adults. Methods: This study included 15,095 adults aged ≥20 years, who participated in the 2013 ~ 2017 KNHANES. The dietary intake was obtained using a 24-h dietary recall method. The associations of high fiber and high carbohydrate intake with metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia were examined by sex using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The median of dietary fiber was 23.6 g/day in men and 20.0 g/day in women. Dietary fiber intake increased gradually as dietary carbohydrate groups increased except for ≥80% of energy from the carbohydrate group. Women in the highest quintile of fiber intake showed a 33% lower risk of metabolic syndrome compared with those in the third quintile. When stratified into low fiber (LF) and high fiber (HF) groups using Adequate Intake of fiber for Koreans, men in the third quartile of carbohydrate intake showed a 44% and 51% higher risk of metabolic syndrome and atherogenic dyslipidemia than in the first quartile, respectively, but only in the LF group. Women in the second quartile of carbohydrate intake showed an 83% higher risk of hypercholesterolemia than in the first quartile in the LF group. On the other hand, as no significant association was observed between the carbohydrate intake and metabolic diseases among the HF groups in both sexes. Conclusion: These findings suggest that a high fiber intake might be associated with a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome and high carbohydrate intake with a low dietary fiber intake might be associated with an increased risk of several metabolic abnormalities among Korean adults. Further prospective studies will be needed to confirm the effects of high fiber and high carbohydrate intake on the cardiometabolic risk factors among Koreans.

Parcel service is to deliver goods from one place to the designated destination requested according to user request. Parcel operations such as sorting, distributing, etc. or the managed information are heterogeneous by the companies. Additionally, it is impossible to support interoperability between companies with unformatted data of manual processing. Most parcel package boxes attached to paper typed waybill is attached is delivered to consignee. So, security problems such as personal information leaking are occurred, or extra processing time and logistics costs are needed due to wrong or the damaged information. Business environment of parcel service is rapidly changed as introducing unmanned delivery or the advanced technology such as Internet of Things. User want to know the accurate status or steps from parcel service request to delivery. To provide these requirements, the unified and integrated waybill information for reliable transportation of parcel service is needed. This information will provide to pickup or delivery carrier, warehouse or terminal, and parcel service user per pickup, transport, and delivery stage of parcel delivery service. Therefore, this paper defines the simplified and unified information model for parcel service waybill by analyzing information systems used for logistics unit processes that is occurred to parcel service, and manual work processes, and developing the relevant information of work flows occurred between business processes or transactions with the collected or processed information by from parcel service's stages. It is possible to share these standard model between business entities, and replacing paper typed waybill will improve national life safety as preventing security threats by paper typed waybill. As a result, it will promote the public interest from the stakeholder's perspective.
