This paper deals with the development and feasible study of the train to pedestrian protection airbag. The concept of the airbag system is to protect the pedestrian like as workers on railroad. The airbag system includes cushions, gas generators, a housing, sliding fixture, anti-bouncing airbag, and a leg protection bumper. Those things were designed and fabricated. The performance of the airbag system was evaluated in the sense of the static deployment test, drop test, dynamic motion test and field(train level) test. The deployment logic, TTF(Time to fire), and the inner pressure of the cushion were also investigated for the airbag.

교통신호기는 다양한 교통 통행에 우선권을 부여하는 교통안전시설물로써, 교통소통에 지대한 영향을 끼치는 매우 중요한 통제시설이다. 그러나 현행 부적절한 신호기 설치 및 미설치로 차량 교통의 흐름을 방해하거나 교통사고를 증가시키는 경우가 있다. 본 연구 는 교통안전시설실무편람에 제시된 9가지 신호기 설치기준중 보행자 신호기 설치 기준에 대하여 국내 도로상황 및 보행자 특성 등에 맞는 새로운 설치기준을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 보행자가 보도상에서 기다릴 수 있는 최대한도 대기시간은 단일로상의 무신호 횡단보도에 교통신호기가 설치되었을 경우를 가정하여 설정하였으며, 보행자 신호기 설치를 위한 차량 교통량과 보행자 교통량을 도로폭 관련 차로수별로 도출하였다. 왕복 2차로 도로인 경우 차량 교통량은 시간당 990대, 4차로인 경우 420대, 6차로인 경우 120대를 보행자 신호기 설치를 위한 최소 차량 교통량 기준값으로 하고, 차로수에 무관하게 보행자 교통량은 시간당 150명을 최소 기준값으로 제시하였다. 또한 차량 교통량과 보행자 교통량 상관관계에 의한 신호기 설치, 설치고려, 미설치 영역을 그래프로 작성하여 실무자의 편의를 도모하고자 하였다.

The mass transit networks in Korea, such as buses, metro and subway, are co-related and the number of transfer points, in which a lot of pedestrian movement is generated, are rising. The functions of the transfer centers, in which several travel modes cross at a point, have to include convenience and comfort for pedestrians using the transfer centers, and such functions can make transit a more attractive travel option and thus eventually contribute to increases in ridership. However, the guidelines for station layouts and their assessments in transfer stations are not suggested so far. So the pedestrian pattern data (pedestrian walking distances and times, pedestrian approaching distances and times, pedestrian walking paths in the inside of stations) was collected and analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, the ways to measure the quality of comfort for those who using transfer facilities were suggested using the times that pedestrians consume to transfer from a travel mode to another. The walking time of pedestrians at the inside of stations was also measured by pre-selected pedestrian pathways as the guidelines for station layout assessment in transfer facilities.

최근 전체 교통사고 보행 사상자 중 우회전 차량에 의한 보행 사상자의 비율이 2018년 9.6%, 2019년 10%, 2020년 10.4%로 증가세에 있다. 현재는 이러한 상황을 해결하기 위해 국토교통부에서는 2022년부터 보행자 보호 의무 위반 운전자에게 최대 10%의 보험료 할증을 부과하고, 경찰청은 '교차로서 일단정지'를 골자로 하는 도로교통법 개정안을 공포하고 2022년 7월 12일부터 시행한다고 밝혔다. 본 논문은 이러한 상황에서 운전자나 보행자 모두가 안심할 수 있도록 하는 '보행자 안전을 위한 횡단보도의 구현' 기술을 제안한다. 법체계가 아닌 바리케이드와 초음파 거리센서, 압력센서 등을 활용한 물리적인 시스템으로 운전자들의 혼란을 해소하고 보행자들이 안심하고 건널 수 있는 횡단보도를 구현하여 최근 증가하고 있는 우회전 보행자 사고를 예방 할 것이다.

Because the prime objective of the current preemption methods at signalized intersections near highway-railroad grade crossings(IHRGCs) is to clear the crossing, secondary objectives such as safe pedestrian crossing time and minimized delay often are given less consideration or are ignored completely during the preemption. Under certain circumstances state-of-the-practice traffic signal preemption strategies may cause serious pedestrian safety and efficiency problems at IHRGCs. An improved transition preemption strategy(ITPS) that is specifically designed to improve intersection performance while maintaining or improving the current level of safety was developed by Cho and Rilett. Even if the new transition preemption strategy improved both the safety and efficiency of IHRGCs, the performance of the strategy is affected by train speed. Understanding the impact of this factor is essential in order to implement ITPS. In this paper, the effects of train speed were analyzed using a VISSIM simulation model which was calibrated to field conditions. It was concluded that the delay is affected more by train speed than the transitional preemption strategy and the safety of the intersection is not affected by train speed once an advanced preemption warning time(APWT) is equal to or greater than 90 seconds.

The core strategy of transit oriented development (TOD) is to promote high density mixed land use around railway stations. Case studies in advanced countries show that provision of policies for comprehensive maintenance of pedestrian facilities around railway station spheres is being pursued with efficacy. In spite of the importance placed on integrated pedestrian maintenance, domestic construction of integrated pedestrian infrastructure around railway station spheres lacks direction. Thus, there is a clear need for an evaluation standard that can provide the foundation for judgments on TOD improvement. This research proposes a network model that consolidates the interior of the station as well as its surrounding areas to determine the ease of pedestrian flow for effective TOD evaluation. The model considers the railway station and surrounding areas as an assembled network of pedestrian flow. The path chosen by the pedestrian is defined as the optimal degree of inconvenience, and expands on Wardrop's User Equilibrium (1952). To assess the various circumstances that arise on pedestrian facilities including congestion of the pedestrian pathway, constrained elevator capacity, and wait at the crosswalk, a variational inequality based pedestrian equilibrium distribution model is introduced.
