It is a frequent occurrence in urban traffic - a low-speed collision in which one vehicle hits the back of another. The vehicles often sustain expensive damage. Bumpers can reduce this damage, but only line up so the initial contact in an impact is bumper to bumper. Then the bumpers on the colliding vehicles have to absorb the crash energy, keeping damage away from expensive sheet metal, lights, and other components. In real world accidents, Bumper mismatches in crashes are increasing, and the resulting repair costs from low-speed collisions are escalating. In this study, we investigated the bumper rail height and analyzed their effects on repair cost. Futhermore, Our 16kph front-into-rear crash tests demonstrates bumper mismatch problem.

We have found that the damage of the front part for a vehicle and that of the rear part for a vehicle are the majority of frequency experienced by the traffic accidents. In conventional bumper system was designed by safety standard regulation at low speed crash. For example there are 2.5 mile and 5 mile bumper. The conventional bumper system was the crash from max 5.5 mile to 3 mile low speed occurs most frequently and results in the highest rate of repairing cost in statistically. On this study, in order to check the damageability and repairability of gas tube bumper system RCAR 15 km/h 40 % offset frontal crash test was adopted in low speed and we have a gas tube bumper parts test and vehicle test with gas tube bumper, we can find gas tube bumper system definitely can improve the damageability and repairability of the vehicles and contribute to down the repairing cost.

The crash cushion has drawn a great attention because of its versatility, efficiency and simplicity in reducing the mortality and damages from traffic accidents. However, the existing cushion systems are high priced or have limited functions. The purpose of the study was to devise an improved crash cushion which can offer higher safety compared to the available ones at present. In addition, the conformity of the cushion with the facility standards was assessed through computer simulation for collision with vehicles. The novel cushion system adopts the used tires as shock absorber, which can not only secure cushioning effect but also reduce the production cost. Moreover, it is highly durable and easy to maintain and repair the damaged parts. According to the simulation using BARRIER VII program, the novel cushion system showed PHD of 17.4 g and 10.1 g for a frontal collision and a side collision, respectively. Based on the results, it could be concluded that the novel cushion system met the test standards in the guideline for road safety facility installation and management.

PURPOSES : This study was initiated to estimate the benefits from the campaign to prevent drowsy driving crashes on expressways. The study was conducted by the Korea Expressway Corporation using a contingent valuation method. METHODS : First, a questionnaire was designed for a preliminary survey. From the survey's results, the initial willingness to pay for the campaign was determined by averaging different amounts of payments chosen under virtual scenarios in the survey. The willingness to pay data was used to find a first bid price for the open-ended method used for the second survey. After that, a primary questionnaire was designed and conducted using a single dichotomous choice question (SDBCQ). Drivers at expressway resting areas were asked their willingness to pay for the campaign. Based on statistical analysis using data collected from the second survey, the mean willingness to pay was estimated using a probability utility function. Finally, the benefit from the campaign was calculated using the estimated willingness to pay and accident data on expressways. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the result from the contingent valuation method, the benefit from the campaign to prevent drowsy driving crashes was estimated to be 170.6 won per expressway trip. The benefit is to be paid as an additional toll. In addition, the traffic crash cost estimate is about 2,209,680,000 won less than the cost during the same period in 2014.

자동차의 증가에 따른 사고는 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 교통사고로 인한 사망자수를 줄이기 위해 많은 안전정책이 추진되고 있으며 교통사고 사망자수를 제로로 만들기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 2016년에 수립된 「제3차 교통안전기본계획」에 따르면 안전시설에 대한 개선사업은 누적사망자수가 가장 많은 지역을 우선으로 하도록 되어있다. 이는 시에서 관할하는 도로의 경우 어느 정도 합당한 방법이기는 하지만 구에서 관리하는 20m미만도로의 경우 사망자수가 기준치에 크게 미치지 못하는 현실에서 단순히 사망자수가 많은 지역을 위주로 개선방안을 내는 것은 합리적이지 않을 수 있다. 또한, 사망사고의 발생 원인이 특별한 안전시설이나 제도의 미비 때문인지 우연의 발생인지를 알아내기에는 사고건수가 상대적으로 미미하기 때문에 전체 사고를 기준으로 하는 것이 장래 더 많은 효과를 볼 수 있는 개연성이 있다. 본 연구는 사고비용을 토대로 사망사고 발생지역과 사고다발지역에 대한 비용분석을 통하여 이를 비교하였다. 3개의 산정방식을 이용한 사고비용 분석결과 모든 교통사고의 비용이 포함되었을 때에 사망자수가 없는 신촌네거리의 비용이 기존에 사고누적지역으로 채택된 시온보육원입구 삼거리의 비용보다 높게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 고려했을 때 교통사고 누적지점 선정 시 사고에 따른 비용, 사고 심각도에 대한 가중치 등을 고려하여 지점을 선정할 필요가 있다.

The existing recovery technique using the logging technique in the client/sewer database system only administers the log as a whole in a server. This contains the logging record transmission cost on the transaction that is executed in each client potentially and increases network traffic. In this paper, the logging technique for redo-only log is suggested, which removes the redundant before-image and supports the client-based logging to eliminate the transmission cost of the logging record. Also, in case of a client crash, redo recovery through a backward client analysis log is performed in a self-recovering way. In case of a server crash, the after-image of the pages which needs recovery through simultaneous backward analysis log is only transmitted and redo recovery is done through the received after-image and backward analysis log. Also, we select the comparing model to estimate the performance about the proposed recovery technique. And we analyzed the redo and recovery time about the change of the number of client and the rate of updating operation.
