Objective : This study was designed to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) after motor vehicle accidents(MVA) in 44 consecutive MVA victims referred to psychiatry for the diagnosis, treatment and psychiatric assessment. Method : The diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder was made on the basis of DSM-IV criteria, and posttraumatic stress symptoms were assessed by the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale(CAPS). Correlation between the extent of physical injury and the severity of PTSD symptoms using the Abbreviated Injury Scale(AIS) was analyzed and the frequency of psychiatric comorbidity of PTSD was invested. Result : Twenty-two(45.5%) MVA victims met DSM-IV criteria for PTSD, while thirteen(29.5%) showed a subsyndromal form of it. AIS scores significantly related with the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms(r=0.565, p=0.0001). PTSD group showed high percentages of each of the 17 symptoms(criterion B, C, D), while subsyndromal PTSD group showed relatively high percentages of criterion Band D. The most frequent symptom was 'distressing dreams' of criterion B in both group. A high percentages(56%) of the MVA-PTSD group also met the criteria for current major depression. Conclusions : These findings suggest that there is apparently a high likelihood of developing all or part of the PTSD syndrome after motor vehicle accidents. So it does appear that for those MVA victims who seek medical attention and eventually need psychiatric referral, diagnostic possibility of PTSD should be taken into account in treatment planning and early intervention.

The auditory information is used for urgent notification or warning in vehicle because it is not restricted by the direction compared to the visual. However, since the hearing impaired drivers cannot recognize sound signal, various methods of visualizing the auditory information have been attempted to replace it. When visualizing auditory information, only important information should be selected and provided to prevent cognitive overload concentrated on the vision. For this purpose, analysis of the type of auditory information in vehicle should be given in advance. In this study, the types of auditory information in vehicle were analyzed based on the user experience of hearing impaired drivers. Through the observation of the driving behavior of hearing impaired drivers, 33 auditory informations experienced in vehicle were collected. The collected auditory informations were classified into 12 groups through open card sorting by an expert group, and the types of auditory information in vehicle consisting of four levels were presented through a relative comparison of importance between groups. The presented type of auditory information in vehicle can be used as a guideline for selecting important information when the auditory information is converted into visual or tactile. This study is meaningful in that the user experience analysis was conducted by observing actual driving in daily life of hearing impaired drivers.

공업발전국은 경제사회의 고도화와 더불어 육상교통 수송량도 급격히 증대해 가고 있다. 그중 에서도 자동차는 화물수송 및 도시민의 교통수단으로 이바지하고 있는바 크다. 그러나 한편 자 동차는 유해가스의 배출 및 소음진동 발생등으로 대도시 간성도로 주변. 산업지대 등의 자동차를 이용하는 사람들의 생활환경을 변화 파괴해 가고 있다. 특히 소음(Noise)은 인간의 문화생활을 영유하는데 심리적으로 또는 생리적으로 각종 장애를 일으키고 있다. 즉 소음이란 "내가 원하지 않는 소리(Unwanted Sound)"로서 심적 불안감과 불유쾌감을 유발하여 피로의 원인이 되기도 한다. 이로써 작업능률의 저하는 물론 심하게 되면 청력장애까지 일으킨다. 이와 같이 도심지에서 가장 문제가 되는 소음원이 자동차라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본고에서 소음의 특성, 자동차소음의 발생원, 각국의 자동차소음의 규제동향 및 자동차소음의 측정방법과 대책을 간단히 살펴보고자 한다. 살펴보고자 한다.

IT의 기술이 급속하게 발전하고 있으며 많은 기술이 등장하고 있다. 이러한 기술을 활용하여 사회적 약자인 장애인의 위험에 미리 대처하여 사고를 예방을 할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 일반인들은 소리를 들을 수 있거나 볼 수 있고 원하는 행동을 할 수 있기 때문에 언제 어디서든지 위험을 미리 감지하여 사고를 미리 대처할 수 있지만 청각장애인은 소리를 들을 수 없기 때문에 그만큼 사고가 일어날 확률이 높아질 수밖에 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서 위험한 상황이 아님에도 불구하고 사고가 일어나는 청각장애인을 위해 큰 사고를 미연에 방지 할 수 있는 자동차 위험감지 시스템을 설계한다.

대기환경문제가 전지구촌의 현안과제로서 그 무엇보다 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 이와 더불어 날로 높아져 가는 국민들의 쾌적한 환경에 대한 기대와 요구는 우리나라가 시급하게 해결해야하는 대기환경분야의 실질적 개선 방향으로 대도시 시정장애 현상을 제시하였다. 현재 정부의 청정연료와 저황유공급 확대, 저공해자동차 보급 등 각종 대기오염 저감정책에 힘입어 아황산가스와 먼지 등 개도국형 대기오염상태는 개선되는 추세이나, 자동차의 증가로 인한 이산화질소 및 오존의 오염도는 완만하게 증가하고 있는 상황이다. (중략)

Sharing vehicle data among the companies within a car ecosystem can improve driving experience, increase driver comfort, contribute to social goals such as improving road safety and lowering fuel consumption. Furthermore, by participating in the ecosystem, companies can secure long-term and sustainable new revenue-generating opportunities. In this paper, we will examine the bottleneck and success factors of data sharing, as well as the technological solutions that urgently require development for car data sharing.

This study is to suggest necessary improvements of inconvenient elements as well as the ergonomic design standard to develop disabled cars by evaluating the types of needs and observing the behavior characteristics on their car use and the survey on the complaints of the disabled drivers and their guardians in the use of disabled car. The results of this study are as follows. First, both the disabled drivers and their guardians are found to feel high inconvenience and low satisfaction with the cars they use now. Second, the disabled owner-drivers also answered in a same way as guardians. They find the most difficulty in moving the supporting equipment to get into and out of a car. Both the owner-drivers with disabilities and guardians complained of lack of handiness they face when they wear the seat belts and sitting on the seats. In view of this, a disabled car to be developed should have ergonomic design for its seats and the safety of the seatbelt as well as trouble-free supporting equipment helping them move. Third, rather than owner-drivers with handicaps, guardians expressed more difficulties and less contentment with the cars for the disabled, which is reckoned to lead to the changes of perspectives on development of cars for the disabled breaking away from existing viewpoints focusing on the accessibility to the vehicles. Fourth, both owner-drivers and guardians showed higher interests in driving and other safety and convenience measures than in using supporting equipment to get into and out of vehicles, implying that rather than the accessibility to get into and out of a car, convenience should primarily be taken into account for the design of the disabled car. Fifth, the auto-manufacturer is to give prior thought to user convenience when developing a car in practice. For this, the developer may have the disabled car users join the process of development as well as asking experts for help and participation.

For handicapped person who have a handicap in moving, vehicles are indispensible, especially in the viewpoint of handicapped person's participation for social life by rehabilitation, the freedom of movement equaling to nonnal person is a important factor for improving the quality in being complete growth.In the purposese of positively social participation of handicapped person, this study investigated the general problems about using a means of transportation in the users of wheelchair and for solving these problems and approached, in the viewpoint of styling, vehicles were considered from character of self-supporting in getting on and off a car. For that first, this study was progressed by suggesting invigorating convenience facilities in already established vehicles for the user of a wheelchair and the part of moulding of modified vehicles in a structure. Moreover, making a selection of domestic vehicles arbitrarily, analyzing a internal structure of a boarding of a wheelchair, and suggesting the modified model of vehicles by the sketch.
