Although accident data from the National Police Agency and insurance companies do not know the vehicle safety, the damage level information can be obtained from the data managed by the bus credit association or the bus company itself. So the accident severity was analyzed based on the side impact accidents using accident repair cost. K-means clustering analysis separated the cost of accident repair into 'minor', 'moderate', 'severe', and 'very severe'. In addition, the side impact accident severity was analyzed by using an ordered logit model. As a result, it is appeared that the longer the repair period, the greater the impact on the severity of the side impact accident. Also, it is appeared that the higher the number of collision points, the greater the impact on the severity of the side impact accident. In addition, oblique collisions of the angle of impact were derived to affect the severity of the accident less than right angle collisions. Finally, the absence of opponent vehicle and large commercial vehicles involved accidents were shown to have less impact on the side impact accident severity than passenger cars.

OBJECTIVES : Fixed roadside objects are a threat to drivers when their vehicles deviate from the road. Therefore, such roadside objects need to be suitably dealt with to decrease accidents. This study determines the factors affecting the severity of accidents because of fixed roadside objects. METHODS : This study analyzed the crash severity impact of fixed roadside objects by using ordered probit regression as the analysis methodology. In this research, data from 896 traffic accidents reported in the last three years were used. These accidents consisted of sole-car accidents, fixed roadside object accidents, and lane-departure accidents on the national highway of Korea. The accident severity was classified as light injury, severe injury, and death. The factors relating to the road and the driver were collected as independent variables. RESULTS : The result of the analysis showed that the variables of the crash severity impact are the collision location (left side), gender of the driver (female), alcohol use, collision facility (roadside trees, traffic signals, telephone poles), and type of road (rural segments). Additionally, the collision location (left side), gender of the driver (female), alcohol use, collision facility (street trees, traffic signals, telephone poles), and type of road (rural segments), in order of influence, were found to be the factors affecting the crash severity in accidents due to fixed roadside objects. CONCLUSIONS : An alternative solution is urgently required to reduce the crash severity in accidents due to fixed roadside objects. Such a solution can consider the appropriate places to install breakaway devices and energy-absorbing systems.

차선을 벗어난 승용차가 기초에 강결된 표지판 지주에 충돌할 경우 차량이 받는 충격과 변형은 탑승자의 안전을 위협하게 되므로 분리지주를 쓰는 것이 일반적이다. 국도에서 $1200mm{\times}1200mm$의 단일노선표지에 사용되는 직경 101.6mm, 두께 4.0mm의 강관지주가 기초에 강결되었을 때와 Clip형 분리장치를 갖는 경우에 대한 820kg-50kg-정면 충돌 시 차량과 지주의 거동을 LS-DYNA 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 분리식 지주 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과는 동일한 조건의 충돌실험 결과와 비교하여 신뢰도를 높였다. 강결된 원형지주에 대한 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 탑승자 안전지수(THIV, PHD)와 차량의 변위가 탑승자의 안전을 위협하는 수준으로 나타났으나 Clip형 분리장치를 갖는 지주에 대한 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 충돌 시 지주의 분리로 감속도가 현저히 줄어들어 안전한 것으로 확인되었다.

국내 해양사고에서 어선의 충돌사고는 타 선종보다 빈번하고 사고 심각도는 높은 편에 속한다. 과거 큰 피해를 불러온 국내 어선충돌사고의 시사점은 어선이 충돌 직전까지 높은 항행 속력을 유지하고 있었다는 것과 어선이 규모 차이가 큰 선박과 충돌하였다는 점에 있다. 본 논문에서는 어선의 충돌사고 결과로 나타나는 선박피해 심각도를 선박의 속력과 분석하여 상관관계를 확인하는 연구를 하였다. 이를위해 도로교통분야에서 활용되고 있는 유효충돌속도(Effective Impact Speed)라는 개념을 두 선박의 충돌상황에 적용하였고 2016년부터 2022년까지 해양사고 재결서 중 어선과 어선, 어선과 비어선 충돌사고 데이터를 수집하여 총 617척 선박의 유효충돌속도를 산출하였다. 분석된 데이터를 바탕으로 유효충돌속도를 독립변수, 선박피해 심각도를 종속변수로 하는 이항 및 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하여 두 변수의 상관성을 살펴보았다. 분석결과 유효충돌속도와 선박피해 심각도가 서로 통계적으로 유의하다는 것과 선박피해심각도는 유효충돌속도와 함께 선박의 질량에도 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objective : A study of the histopathologic and neurobehavioral correlates of cortical impact injury produced by increasing impact velocity using the controlled cortical impact[CCI] injury model is studied. Methods : Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats [$200{\sim}250g$] were given CCI injury using a pneumatically driven piston. Effect of impact velocity on a 3mm deformation was assessed at 2.5m/sec [n=6], 3.0m/sec [n=6], 3.5m/sec [n=6], and no injury [n=6]. After postoperative 24hours the rats were evaluated using several neurobehavioral tests including the rotarod test, beam-balance performance, and postural reflex test. Contusion volume and histopathologic findings were evaluated for each of the impact velocities. Results : On the rota rod test, all the injured rats exhibited a significant difference compared to the sham-operated rats and increased velocity correlated with increased deficit [p<0.001]. Contusion volume increased with increasing impact velocity. For the 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5m/sec groups, injured volumes were $18.8{\pm}2.3mm^3$, $26.8{\pm}3.1mm^3$, and $32.5{\pm}3.5mm^3$, respectively. In addition, neuronal loss in the hippocampal sub-region increased with increasing impact velocity. In the TUNEL staining, all the injured groups exhibited definitely positive cells at pericontusional area. However, there were no significant differences in the number of positive cells among the injured groups. Conclusion : Cortical impact velocity is a critical parameter in producing cortical contusion. Severity of cortical injury is proportional to increasing impact velocity of cortical injury.

기초에 강결되어 도로변에 노출된 각종 지주는 정면충돌 뿐 아니라 측면충돌에 특히 위험하다. 클립형 단부분리장치를 갖는 지주는 정면충돌에 효과적이고 다방향으로 분리가 가능하기 때문에 측면충돌에도 효과적이다. 본 논문은 강결된 지주의 측면충돌에 대한 위험성을 보이고 클립형 단부분리장치를 갖는 지주의 충격완화 효과를 보이기 위하여 측면충돌실험을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석 정리한 것이다. 이를 위하여 미국의 NCHRP Report 350을 기반으로 측면충돌의 기준을 제시하고 D101.6mm(t=4.2mm)의 지주가 강결된 경우와 클립형 단부분리장치로 연결된 경우에 대하여 820kg의 소형차로 충돌속도 50km/h의 측면충돌실험을 실시하였고 단부장치의 저속분리가 가능한가를 35km/h의 측면충돌실험으로 확인하였다. 강결지주는 차량의 과다한 변형 및 전복, 안전지수 측면에서 측면충돌에 치명적이지만 클립형 단부분리장치로 기초에 연결된 경우 충돌피해를 크게 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The performance of crash cushion systems is certified through the full scale crash tests by the standard for installation and maintenance guidelines for roadside safety appurtenance. The impact severities of impacting vehicles in collision with crash cushion systems are rated by indices THIV and PHD. Crash test results are considered to study the performance of three crash cushion systems. In case of the frontal impact or the offset frontal impact, the results show that THIV values of three systems are very close to the threshold limit for the occupant protection. Also, the results show that PHD would be improper for the occupant protection performance index. In order to improve the occupant protection performance of crash cushions, ASI needs to be included in the impact severity index.

Objective: To evaluate the psychosocial impact of malocclusion, determine its relationship with the severity of malocclusion, and assess the influence of gender and social class on this relationship in adolescents. Methods: A random sample of 627 Spanish adolescents aged 12 - 15 years underwent intraoral examinations by 3 calibrated examiners (intraexaminer and interexaminer kappa > 0.85) at their schools. Psychosocial impact was measured through a self-rated Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). The severity of malocclusion was measured by the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Gender and social class were also recorded. Results: The total PIDAQ score and those of its 4 subscales, social impact, psychological impact, aesthetic concern, and dental self-confidence, presented significant differences ($p{\leq}0.05$ by analysis of variance) and linear relationships with the IOTN grades ($p{\leq}0.05$ by linear regression). Stepwise linear regression models showed that the IOTN dental health component was a predictive variable of the total and subscale PIDAQ scores. Neither gender nor social class was an independent predictive variable of this relationship, except the linear model for psychological impact, where gender was a predictive variable. The occlusal conditions responsible for higher PIDAQ scores were increased overjet, impeded eruption, tooth displacement, and increased overbite. Conclusions: Malocclusion has a psychological impact in adolescents and this impact increases with the severity of malocclusion. Social class may not influence this association, but the psychological impact seems to be greater among girls.

Objective : Atopic dermatitis (AD) may profoundly affect patient's quality of life (QOL), and also cause economic impact. The aim of our study was to evaluate the quality of life and the economic impact of adult atopic dermatitis patient in Seoul. We also evaluate the relationship of QOL and economic impact with severity of AD. Methods : 30 adult atopic dermatitis patient were included and evaluated by using the SCORAD Index and EASI. Patients were asked to fill in the questionnaires about their quality of life and financial costs during the past year by AD. Data about sleep disturbance and pruritus were also obtained. Pearson's correlation were used for statistical analysis. Results : 1. Among 30 patients, women were 19(63.3%), men were 11(36.7%). The mean age of the patients were 27.3 years old, patients between the ages of 17 and 30 years were 23, over 30 were seven. 2. The mean score of Objective SCORAD was $32.89{\pm}7.30$, Subjective SCORAD was $8.13{\pm}3.53$ and EASI was $9.15{\pm}6.90$이었다. 3. The mean score of Skindex-29 was $28.26{\pm}7.58$, DLQI was $10.17{\pm}5.55$. 4. By analyzing the questionnaire, a monthly average cost of 583,200 won for each patient was determined. Direct cost was 236,800 won and indirect cost was 346,300 won. 5. By analyzing the correlation between the severity of AD and QOL, Objective SCORAD and EASI were positively correlated with QOL(Skindex-29, DLQI) but not significant, meanwhile subjective SCORAD were significantly and positively correlated with QOL(Skindex-29, DLQI). 6. By analyzing the correlation between the severity of AD and economic impact, Objective SCORAD were significantly and positively correlated with direct cost and indirect cost. Also, EASI were significantly and positively correlated with direct cost and oriental medical hospital visits. Conclusions : The above results show that the QOL of the patients with atopic dermatitis is significantly related to their disease severity. Atopic dermatitis patients pay 583,200 won a month, and the economic impact of the patients is significantly related to their disease severity.
