The demand for two-wheelers has increased in recent years, driven by the growing delivery culture, which has also led to a rise in the number of two-wheelers. Although two-wheelers are economically efficient in congested traffic conditions, reckless driving and ambiguous traffic laws for two-wheelers have turned two-wheeler accidents into a significant social issue. Given the high fatality rate associated with two-wheelers, the severity and risk of two-wheeler accidents are considerable. It is, therefore, crucial to thoroughly understand the characteristics of two-wheeler accidents by analyzing their attributes. In this study, the characteristics of two-wheeled vehicle accidents were categorized using the K-prototypes algorithm, based on data from two-wheeled vehicle accidents. As a result, the accidents were divided into four clusters according to their characteristics. Each cluster showed distinct traits in terms of the roads where accidents occurred, the major laws violated, the types of accidents, and the times of accident occurrences. By tailoring enforcement methods and regulations to the specific characteristics of each type of accident, we can reduce the incidence of accidents involving two-wheelers in metropolitan areas, thereby enhancing road safety. Furthermore, by applying machine learning techniques to urban transportation and safety, this study adds to the body of related literature.

In recent, technological advancement including a vehicle black box (VBB) has led to reducing such underreporting issues and errors of crash data. The objective of this study is to analyze the injury severity of cyclists on taxi-to-two wheeler crashes based on the accurate crash data collected from the VBB in taxi. This study defined the two wheelers as bicycle and motorcycle. To perform this study, we used the VBB data collected from taxis operating in Incheon, South Korea for a two-year period (2010-2011). An ordered probit model was applied to analyze the injury severity in crashes. As a result, new injury severity factors were found: increase of the crash speed of taxi, damage of crash-involved vehicles (i.e., taxi and/or two wheeler), not standing of cyclists after crash, and second or third impact of cyclists after first crash.

본 연구는 운전자 특성 및 교통사고 발생유형에 따른 사고 심각도(Severity)를 분석함으로써 교통사고를 유발키 쉬운 운전자 집단과 사고 발생시 위험도가 높은 사고유형을 규명하고자 하였다. 교통사고 위험집단 분석을 위한 운전자 특성은 성별, 차종, 연령 등을 대상으로 하였으며, 사고유형별 심각도 분석은 사고유형을 여덟 가지로 분류하고, 결과의 신뢰성 확보를 위하여 안전벨트 착용여부를 추가하여 상해정도와의 관계를 비교하였다. 로그-선형 모형 및 로짓 모형을 사용하여 카테고리 자료를 분석하였으며, 그 결과 위험집단 분석에서는 '20세 미만의 이륜차 운전자', '41세에서 50세까지의 택시운전자'가 가장 위험한 것으로, 또한 남자보다는 여자가 승용차, 택시, 이륜차 등에 관계되었을 때 위험한 것으로 조사되었다. 사고유형과 심각도와의 관계에서는 정면충돌 사고와 앞지르기 시 우회전시 사고가 기여위험도(Odds Multiplier)가 매우 높아 부상 또는 사망사고와 연계될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 교통사고의 예방과 사고발생시의 심각도 경감을 위해서는 교통사고 취약계층으로 분석된 위험집단에 대한 교통안전 교육 및 홍보가 강화되어야 하고, 정면충돌 사고와 앞지르기 시 우회전시 발생하는 사고를 줄일 수 있는 방안이 연구되어야 할 것이다.

Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems (c-ITS) has emphasized a real-time traffic safety service in urgent situations among highway infrastructure and four-wheeled vehicles, while two-wheeled vehicles, e.g. bicycles and motorcycle, sharing highway space and endangering highway safety, have yet been out of its interest. This paper delivers the results of a study conducted to analyze the patterns of two-wheeled-vehicle traffic accidents experienced in the past, the last three years (2011~2013), and to propose the types of service enhancing the safety of the riders of those. It was found from the analysis of historical accident data that the side collision on a link section should be taken care of for further safety treatment, while the old female drivers need additional care to decrease their fatality rate. By combining the services proposed for bicycles and motorcycles, this paper proposes (1) eight different bicycle-to-everything (B2X) services which can be eventually provided in c-ITS and (2) three of those that would be available in the near future with the current communication technologies.

Although motorcycle safety studies to date have identified the causes of motorcycle accidents in general, very few have investigated postal motorcycle accidents by studying the delivery postmen's specific work environment. To better understand postal motorcyclists' driving behavior associated with their delivery workload, we developed a system using V-World platform which visualizes driving behavior in real time along the driver's delivery route throughout an entire work day. We conducted a field test to examine the feasibility of our system by involving six delivery postmen currently working in Songpa, Seocheongju, and Gangseo, respectively. To show the potential of our system for nationwide comparison of postal motorcyclists' driving behavior and their workloads, we present several sample analyses using the collected field data. Although ideally, postmen's workloads should be standardized nationwide, we found large variation depending on regional characteristics of work area which affects postmen's driving behavior.

The purpose of this study is to develop unmanned traffic enforcement equipment and standard specifications for the prevention of traffic accidents and violations of the two-wheeled vehicle laws. To this end, we conducted a review of the problems and new technologies of the currently operating unmanned traffic enforcement equipment on two-wheeled vehicles. And through a survey, the feasibility of introducing unmanned traffic enforcement equipment for two-wheeled vehicles and the current status of technology were investigated. In addition, the two-wheeled vehicle enforcement function was implemented through field tests of the development equipment, and the addition of enforcement targets and the number recognition rate were improved through performance improvement. Based on the results of field experiments and performance evaluation, performance standards for unmanned two-wheeled vehicle traffic enforcement equipment were prepared, and in the communication protocol, two-wheeled vehicle-related matters were newly composed in the vehicle classification code and violation items to develop standards.

Motorcycle accidents are increasing at an average annual rate of 10.01%, and fatalities are also increasing by 2.64%. Enforcement cameras are installed to enforce safe driving of more-than or equal-to four-wheeled vehicles on the road. Even though the main purpose of this enforcement camera is to disencourage the speed violation of all types of vehicle, one cannot expect complete enforcement by these cameras. In particular, enforcement of the motorcycle should rely on on-site activities through the input of on-site personnel. Recently, to discourage the illegal acts of motorcycling, the National Police Agency introduced the 'National Police Agency SMART National Report'. However, it is necessary to prepare an appropriate practical plan to maximize the effect of enforcement requiring continuous manpower management. This study proposed four types of rider certification IDs for delivery motorcycles. These IDs are institutional devices to manage delivery motorcycle riders. In addition, a experiment on enforcement was conducted using those license ID systems for delivery motorcycles. This experiment confirmed through the image-processing program (D-MESO) if one of the systems was possible to implement for enforcement on the delivery motorcycle rider's license.

Purpose: In this study, to protect delivery platform workers from danger, we intend to propose a plan to improve safety management. Method: To protect delivery platform workers, safety-related legal systems and cases were found and analyzed, and statistical results derived from a survey of delivery platform workers were analyzed, and safety management improvement measures were presented. Result: In Korea, safety measures against weather deterioration were not clearly presented in the contents of the law for the safety of delivery platforms, and the survey confirmed that safety education was not fully conducted, and most of them experienced accidents by receiving calls through apps or programs during delivery. Conclusion: This study could suggest safety management improvement plans for delivery platform workers, but since detailed questionnaire items related to motorcycles were not investigated, various accident results that could occur due to motorcycles used by delivery platform workers could not be identified.
