PURPOSES : Visibility of lanes on the road improves as retro-reflectivity rises. This helps reduce traffic accidents at nighttime or in bad weather. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of improved visibility on reduction of traffic accidents when the color of the lane in the median of the highway was changed from yellow to white. METHODS : In order to evaluate the accident reduction effect of the white left shoulder line, Hauer (1997)'s Comparison-Group method was chosen as an analysis methodology. The JungBu-2 highway, which is equipped with the white left shoulder line and is in trial operation, was chosen as a target for analysis. Data of accidents for 10 months before and after installation was collected and analyzed. In addition to the number of accidents, the types of accidents were classified into nighttime accidents, accidents in bad weather, and median collisions. The accident reduction effect of improved visibility of lanes was analyzed. RESULTS : The analysis' finding showed that installation of the white left shoulder line decreased the number of accidents by 28%. Moreover, improvement in visibility was effective in reducing nighttime accidents by 67.63%, accidents in bad weather by 55.19%, and median collisions by 48.55%. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the analysis' results in this study, it was concluded that white left shoulder line on the freeway contributed to reduce traffic accidents, especially nighttime accidents, accidents in bad weather, and median collisions.

Congestion and traffic accidents occur on the merge and diverge sections in the interchange of the freeway. Studies have been conducted to reduce the traffic delay and accidents on the merge section in the freeway since 1960s. but a study was not conducted to estimate the speed variation on the merge section construct models estimated for the speed variation and suggest the appropriate measures. The purpose of this study was to identify the traffic flow characteristics on the merge section in the freeway construct the models estimated for the speed variation on the merge section in the freeway and finally establish the appropriate measure for reduction of traffic delay and accidents on the merge section in the freeway. The following results were obtained: I) Speed variations in the urban freeway appeared to be about 3.2mph, 6.5mph and 7.4mph based on the morning peak period, afternoon peak period and 24-hours period but those in the suburban freeway appeared to be about 8.0mph, 11.1mph and 10.1mph based on the same periods respectively. So different speed reduction signs need be installed to reduce delay and accidents on the merge section in the freeway based on the areas and periods as the freeway traffic management system(FTMS). ii) These models estimated for speed variation need to be studied with the changeable message sign(CMS) technique based on the real-time data so that the traffic flow could be maximized and the traffic delay and accidents be on the merge section in the freeway as more efficient freeway traffic management system(FTMS) in the near future.

도시공간에서 토지이용변화는 교통량을 유발하고 이에 따른 교통사고발생이 상호 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있으므로 토지이용변화에 따른 교통사고발생원인 분석은 교통사고저감대책 수립에 중요한 요소로 판단된다. 이에 지방 중소도시인 진주시를 대상으로 5년간(2009년~2013년)의 교통사고 데이터를 주거지역과 상업지역의 사고 발생빈도와 최근린 분석기법에 의한 군집도를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 교통사고의 발생빈도는 봄에 가장 많았고 겨울이 가장 작게 발생하였다. 또한 주간과 야간의 교통사고 발생빈도는 주간이 야간에 비해 조금 더 많이 발생하였으나 교통사고발생 군집도는 야간이 주간에 비해 강하게 나타났다. 그리고 토지용도에 따른 교통사고 군집도 분석에서 상업지역은 계절에 따른 변화가 크지 않았으나 주거지역은 겨울철에 군집밀도가 크게 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 교통사고 유형에 따른 분석 결과 차 대 차의 측면직각추돌사고가 가장 높은 발생빈도를 보였으며 상업지역과 주거지역에 모두 광범위하게 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 도시공간구조에서 교통사고 발생패턴을 파악하는데 중요한 정보가 될 수 있으며, 향후 교통사고저감대책을 수립하는데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 예상된다.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the change in radiating leg pain after traffic accidents in patients with and without herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) and improvement of radiating leg pain after traffic accidents. Methods: This was an retrospective study of 188 patients. Patients who had been admitted to the Hospital of Korean Medicine with the complaint of radiating leg pain after traffic accidents, and who had undergone lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging to determine the presence or absence of HIVD were observed from April to June 2016. We analyzed sex, age, length of admission, direction (to a single leg or to both legs) and locations, (medial, anterior, lateral or posterior side of the lower limb) of radiating leg pain, presence or absence of HIVD, and number, grade and position of HIVD. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to evaluate the impact of radiating leg pain on patients. Results: Radiating leg pain NRS score decreased significantly in both the HIVD group (from $6.12{\pm}2.39$ to $4.31{\pm}1.87$, p < 0.001) and the no HIVD group (from $5.76{\pm}1.64$ to $3.85{\pm}1.41$, p < 0.001). ODI score also decreased significantly in both groups (HIVD, from $44.67{\pm}17.38$ to $26.83{\pm}13.18$; no HIVD, from $39.24{\pm}15.58$ to $19.69{\pm}12$.; both p < 0.001). Conclusion: There was no significant change in radiating leg pain after traffic accidents in patients with and without HIVD and improvement of radiating leg pain after traffic accidents.

Exceptive clause of ambulance stated in Road Traffic Laws of ambulance car accidents is not properly applied and emergency staffs who transfer over 85% of emergency cases are to be forced to start out to the emergency field with unstable conditions which they may be punished on the criminal and civil laws. Hereby this study makes the following suggestions to activate the duties of transferring emergency cases by emergency staffs, promote their morale and diminish the victim of emergency staffs due to traffic accidents. 1) It is prescribed that ambulance car drivers should be protected legally by applying the exceptive clauses thoroughly regulated in special case clauses because ambulance cars are used for the purpose of saving the human life. 2) On the traffic accidents occurred during the transfer of emergency cases, the special insurance system is created for treating the ambulance car accidents, not to bind the emergency staff's mistake to traffic law and the victims are compensated by the nation on the basis of insurance system and emergency staffs have the systematic security. 3) On the road over six lanes, emergency lane is set on the center and ambulance car should be used as the exclusive lane. 4) Ambulance car drivers must have the habit of transferring emergency cases rapidly within the range of legal operation.

We develop a model to predict traffic accidents in Korea. In contrast to the classical approach that mainly uses regression analysis, Bayesian approach is adopted. A dependent model that incorporates the data from different kinds of accidents is introduced. The rate of severe accident can be updated even with no data of the same kind. The data of minor accident that can be obtained frequently is efficiently used to predict the severe accident.

교통사고가 발생 한 경우에 스키드마크는 자동차 속도 산출을 위해서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 객관적이고, 과학적인 수사를 위해, 교통 사고는 공정한 기록에 의해서, 컴퓨터 모의 실험, 및 학문, 그리고 충돌 사고 역동성, 도로 및 교통 공학으로 검증되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는, 교통사고, 과학, 객관적인 방법을 이용하여 진짜 교통사고 및 결과를 재현하였다. 모의실험 결과 포장도로와 비포장도로에서는 비포장도로의 제동시간이 포장도로의 제동시간 보다 짧다는 것이 입증되었다.

본 연구는 1990년대 이후 실시된 교통사고 줄이기 운동 실시, 무인단속카메라 설치, 좌석안전띠 착용 의무화, 음주운전 삼진아웃제 등 8가지 교통안전정책의 개입효과를 ARIMA방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석의 관점은 교통안전정책 강화가 전체 교통사고에 미치는 영향. 교통안전정책 강화가 일정지역의 교통사고에 미치는 영향, 특정교통안전정책 강화가 특정 법규위반으로 인한 교통사고에 미치는 영향으로 세분하였다. 분석 결과 교통사고 줄이기 운동 실시, 교통법규위반 신고보상금제, 음주운전 삼진아웃제 등이 교통사고 사망자수를 줄이는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의하지 못하였다.
