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.

Currently the amount of general letter mail in Korea is on an increasing trend; especially it shows the seasonality that is concentrated in the end of the month or the year. However, the situation is not treated appropriately Moreover. manpower insufficiency if the carriers causes the poor service and the heavy burden of work. Under the existing conditions, the various efforts such as development of the automatic sequence sorting system and construction of the address database are given in order to quicken mall process and lighten the carriers' burden But the inconsistent addressing and the various expressions of address drop the systems and the carriers off in efficiency. In this study, we present the Korean postal addressing standards to make it possible to improve the performance of address recognition and help postmen to sort the mail; particularly focusing on the substance. After analyzing the domestic system, the information structure and the problems of postal address, we propose four fundamentals and the standards including synonyms and acronyms. In addition, we suggest several considerations for mail format. We expect that this study could support the postal service in Korea as a basic standard.

현재 우리나라의 일반 서장우편 물량은 매년 증가하고 있는 추세이며 특히 월말이나 연말에 집중화되는 계절적, 순환적 특성을 보인다. 그러나 집배원의 인력 부족으로, 우편물량의 증가와 계절적, 순환적 우편물 집중 현상에 적절히 대응하지 못하고 있으며, 이에 따라 서비스의 질적 저하 업무 부하량 증가 등의 문제가 점점 더 가시화되어가고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 신속한 우편물 처리와 집배원의 업무 경감 등을 위해 우편물 자동 처리를 위한 순로구분 시스템의 도입을 검토하고 있으나, 우편물에 기입되는 주소 기재 방식이 일관적이지 않고 표기 방식이 다양하여 이러한 자동처리시스템의 효율이 떨어질 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 향후 도입될 예정인 순로구분 시스템의 자동처리 효율을 높이기 위해 우편물에 기입하는 주소의 표기 표준화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 우선 국내 우편주소 체계와 주소 표기의 현황을 살펴보았으며, 자동주소인식에 적합한 주소 표기를 위한 고려사항들을 주소 표기 표준화 관점에서 제시하였다.
