This study aims to investigate the security demand about the traffic policing by analyzing civil complaints. Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA) was applied to extract key topics for 2,062 civil complaints data related to traffic policing from e-People. And additional analysis was made of reports of violations, which accounted for a high proportion. In this process, the consistency and convergence of keywords and representative documents were considered together. As a result of the analysis, complaints related to traffic police could be classified into 41 topics, including traffic safety facilities, passing through intersections(signals), provisional impoundment of vehicle plate, and personal mobility. It is necessary to strengthen crackdowns on violations at intersections and violations of motorcycles and take preemptive measures for the installation and operation of unmanned traffic control equipments, crosswalks, and traffic lights. In addition, it is necessary to publicize the recently amended laws a implemented policies, e-fine, procedure after crackdown.

The section speed enforcement system measures the starting instantaneous speed, the The section speed enforcement system measures the starting instantaneous speed, the ending instantaneous speed, and the section average speed, and imposes fines only for the portion that has been speeding the most. However, according to the Road Traffic Act, most of the systems are installed on highways, so existing research has been conducted on highway sections. In this study, it is expected that the installation of section speed enforcement systems on general national roads will be expanded according to the revision of related laws. ITS collection and operation data targeting the section speed enforcement system installed on National Road 3 Seongnam Icheon-ro was used to analyze traffic speed, standard deviation of traffic speed, and reduction in traffic accidents by dividing it into before installation, trial operation period, and after crackdown. As a result of the analysis, the traffic speed, standard deviation, and traffic accidents decreased by 13%, 25%, and 70%, respectively, after installation, confirming that the installation of the section speed enforcement system greatly contributed to the reduction of accidents.

Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) increases the efficiency of maritime traffic in terms of reducing marine accidents and the efficient use of port facilities. This means that ports and waterways have their own capacities and can be safely adapted to their capacity through proper traffic management of the VTS. Proper traffic management can reduce the number of vessels and unnecessary waiting in ports, which can lead to economic benefits of ups and port terminals. On the other hand, Korean ports and waterways have restrictions on the maximum speed for safety, but there is no restriction on the minimum speed. However, ships that operate at low speeds in ports and waterways may be able to occupy long periods of operational routes, which may impede efficient port operation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose the minimum speed of ship for efficient port and waterway use. To this end, we reviewed the current laws and systems and proposed the appropriate minimum speed in the waterway using the theory of queue.

The incidence of traffic accidents is increasing every year, and Korea is among the top OECD countries. In order to improve this, various road traffic laws are being implemented, and various traffic control methods using equipment such as unmanned speed cameras and traffic control cameras are being applied. However, as drivers avoid crackdowns by detecting the location of traffic control cameras in advance through navigation, a mobile crackdown system that can be cracked down is needed, and research is needed to increase the recognition rate of vehicle license plates on the side of the road for accurate crackdown. This paper proposes a method to improve the vehicle number recognition rate on the road side by applying a gradient correction algorithm using image processing. In addition, custom data learning was conducted using a CNN-based YOLO algorithm to improve character recognition accuracy. It is expected that the algorithm can be used for mobile traffic control cameras without restrictions on the installation location.

There is a need to provide appropriate transportation safety services to foreigners residing in Korea. The main purpose of this study is to enhance transportation safety services for foreigners. In order to identify the risk of traffic accidents, analysis of traffic accidents was conducted using a survey of foreigner travel behavior. According to the results of this model, the study suggests directions to achieve improvement of traffic safety services for foreigners who are unfamiliar with the transportation systems. The study results show that the risk of traffic accidents is influenced by two factors: comprehension of transport geography and of traffic laws. Necessity of policy is influenced by two factors: comprehension of transportation system and the risk of traffic accidents. Intention of using policy is influenced by two factors: the risk of traffic accidents and necessity of policy. Effect of policy is affected by the intention of using policy. The results also demonstrate that the traffic safety services for foreigner can be described as endogenous variables which are approximately 88% of the traffic safety education, 85% of the demanded multicultural district, and 75% of the portal traffic information. Compared with existing research, this study provides a systematic methodology to evaluate effects and the order of priority in establishing traffic safety policies for foreigners.

Waters that are under surveillance for traffic safety designated area due to increased risk of ship accidents are usually areas in the coastal waters specified by the government. However, there are still some controversies surrounding application of navigation rule in regards to these waters. Such law is especially difficult to apply to VTSO access sea route within Kwangyang bay area. Therefore, as a solution for the issues discussed in this research, the goal is to help establish a unified application method for navigation rule in relation to VTS areas, to improve marine traffic safety by separating and applying specific laws from marine safety law, and to provide a ground on which the VTSO can take a proactive and focused approach in performing monitoring duties.

With the rapid development of autonomous vehicle technology, unexpected accidents are occurring. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize user accident damage through the development of autonomous traffic safety education. Since edge cases, accident type, and risk factor analysis are important for realistic education, overseas case studies and demonstrations were carried out, and based on this, two curriculum for service providers and general users were developed. The service provider curriculum consisted of OEDR, sudden stop, cut-in, take-over, defensive driving, system malfunction, policy and information security education, and the general user curriculum consisted of attention duty, take-over, operating design domain, accidents type, laws, functions, information security education.

PURPOSES: This study analyzes feasibility for application white pavement markings in the roadways with median barrier. METHODS : By reviewing numerous relevant laws, standards, and operational cases, the white pavement markings' excellence was demonstrated. Driver's behavior was analyzed through a virtual driving experiment using driving simulator and field tests. RESULTS:First, white pavement markings are superior to yellow pavement markings in terms of visibility, economics, and safety. Second, as a result of virtual driving experiment, the color of line in the roadway with median barrier didn't affect the driver's behavior such as the average vehicle speed, the distance bias in the lane and the separation distance from the centerline. Third, field test demonstrated that the driver tended to recognize the median barrier as an obstacle. In addition, the central driving ratio in the lane was increased due to improving the visibility of line at night in case of the white pavement markings. CONCLUSIONS : The application of white pavement markings in the roadways with median barrier can enhance traffic safety by improving the visibility of line at night.

Among the various functions of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), the most important and representative function to the safety of vehicle passengers is AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking system). In South Korea, laws are in progress from 2022 for making it mandatory for passenger vehicles to be installed. And as AEB-equipped vehicles continues to increase in the future, the demand for accident analysis related to the AEB function is expected to increase in the future. In order to find out the operating limits of AEB, it is necessary to consider the situations exceeding the standards covered by EuroNCAP. Therefore we have performed four experiments in this study, including situations encountered in real-word traffic conditions, i.e., an oblique stop of Global Vehicle Target (GVT) and ADAS sensor failures. These experimental results are expected to be of great help in accurate and reliable accident analysis by considering them when analyzing traffic accidents for ADAS vehicles.
