After forming a institutional framework with specified in Maritime Safety Law(ex. Maritime Traffic Safety Law) on May 27th, 2009, The efforts for improving 'Maritime Traffic Safety Assessment Scheme(MTSA scheme)' have continued to the present. But there's no review with the comprehensive and systematic approach for proceeding acceleration step of MTSA scheme. At this point, this study analyzed current status and derived improvement measures using by 'PIP'OU model' which was designed for the comprehensive analysis in accordance with metaevaluation theory, like as question investigation and etc. Consequently, it mainly needs to improve 'Assessment Plan' domain and minimized the difference in views between concerned parties. This study is expected to be used to develop systematic maritime policy by proposing the order of priority in improvement matters.

As increasing needs of marine transportation , world merchant fleet and ship's size were enlarged and it caused frequent disasters in human lives and natural environment. By the reason of the above, they started to establish the Vessel Traffic System (VTS) at the European coast in 1960' and most of advanced contries established and managed it to prevent the sea traffic accidents in these days. The concept of traffic control at sea can be divided into three types. First, the initial gathering of informations about ship's identity and movement etc.. Second, monitoring of the traffic flow and amendment of instructions. Third , organization and direction of ships by allocating routes and speeds. Where the goal of traffic control is safety of traffics and developing effectiveness of navigation channel, if traffic volume is less tan channel capacity then the above first or second level of control would be sufficient but if it is bigger than that , more positive policy of control should be adopted as same as third type of the above. In this paper where the strategy of VTS is focused on the control of traffic density to be spread equality, as possible , all over the navigation channels and also improvement of effectiveness , it suggests algorithm to assign the vessels to the channels with balanced traffic density , and other algorithms using D.P. to sequence the vessels assigned to one channel in optimum order which decreases the mean waiting time in sense of channel effectiveness with numerical examples.

An objective of Automated Highway Systems (AHS) is to increase the safety and throughput of the existing highway infrastructure by introducing traffic automation. AHS is an example of a large scale, multiagent complex dynamical system and is ideally suited for a hierarchical hybrid controller. We discuss a design issue of efficient hybrid controllers for the platoon maneuvers on AHS. For the modeling of a hybrid system including the merge and split operations, a safety distance policy is introduced for the merge and split operations. After that, the platoon system will be modeled by a hybrid system In addition, a hybrid controller for the proposed merge and split operation models is presented. Finally, the performance of the proposed hybrid control scheme is demonstrated via scenarios for platoon maneuvers.

Increasing amount of road tragic in 90's has drawn much attention in Korea due to its influence on safety problems. Various types of data analyses are done in order to analyze the relationship between the severity of road traffic accident and driving conditions based on traffic accident records. Accurate results of such accident data analysis can provide crucial information for road accident prevention policy. In this paper, we apply several data fusion, ensemble and clustering algorithms in an effort to increase the accuracy of individual classifiers for the accident severity. An empirical study results indicated that clustering works best for road traffic accident classification in Korea.

This study compared and analyzed the importance of command priority between railway traffic controllers through pairwise comparison of AHP analysis. 27 railway traffic controllers working on metropolitan railway control center, urban railway control center, and unmanned driving control center responded. As a result of the analysis, all the railway traffic controllers generally recognized the train driving control and train signal control as the most important priorities. For the controller in the manned driving system, a train driving control was the highest at 0.375. On the other hand, the controller based on unmanned driving recognized train signal control as the highest priority at 0.469. In the result of the AHP analysis considering all the variables, the braking system was the highest priority at 0.19 based on manned train driving. On the other hand, the controller based on unmanned train driving recognized wired and wireless network systems and SCADA as the highest priority at 0.267.

Aeronautical frequency band is to be internationally protected for aviation safety. Recently, with a rapid growth of an international air traffic, aeronautical frequency band is getting saturated, and thus may causes the interference in the congested frequency band. In this paper, an efficient aeronautical frequency allotment and management policies are proposed for resolving the existing problems in the aeronautical frequency band. The key activities include the review of the aeronautical frequency management and interference mitigation policies in a few important foreign countries such as United States and Japan. This policy study will be contributed for the future air safety in the aeronautical frequency management point of view.

In this paper, we propose a new approach by analyzing driver behavior and gaze changes within the vehicle in real-time to assess and predict the risk of traffic accidents. Utilizing data analysis and machine learning algorithms, this research precisely measures drivers' abnormal behaviors and gaze movement patterns in real-time, and aggregates these into an overall Risk Score to evaluate the potential for traffic accidents. This research underscores the significance of internal factors, previously unexplored, providing a novel perspective in the field of traffic safety research. Such an innovative approach suggests the feasibility of developing real-time predictive models for traffic accident prevention and safety enhancement, expected to offer critical foundational data for future traffic accident prevention strategies and policy formulation.

Throughout the history of the aviation industry, from its origins in the $20^{th}$century to the present, accidents have always occurred. This paper deals with the legal liability of air traffic controllers, who represent one of the human factors causing these accidents. Though controller negligence turns out to be a main cause of the accident, Korea does not have additional judical case, since it was firstly declared that controller negligence was accountable for the air traffic accident in 1971. As such, we examine the liability of air traffic controllers as public officers. This paper looks not only at the role of air traffic controllers and pilots in accidents, but also at the applicability of controller liability in the context of Korean law. We determine that despite the high-stress environment, air traffic controllers must share in the responsibility to provide safe air navigation. Therefore, they cannot avoid legal liability.

In this study, the number of truck traffic accidents was predicted by using Poisson and negative binomial regression analysis to understand what factors affect accidents using expressway data. Significant variables in the truck traffic accident prediction model were continuous driving time, link length, truck traffic volume. number of bridges and number of drowsy shelters. The calculated LOSS rating was expressed on the national expressway network to diagnose the risk of truck accidents. This is expected to be used as basic data for policy establishment to reduce truck accidents on expressways.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the deterrence effect of traffic safety education on DWI(Driving While Intoxicated) offenders which is proposed as a incentive policy measure. For the analysis, 3512 drivers whose licenses were suspended due to DWI offence within the jurisdiction of Seongnam city in 2003, and whose driving behavior were traced for 5 years are collected. MOEs used in the study are the number of repeated DWI offence and DWI abidance duration. The statistics of analysis of covariance are used to compare the deterrence effectiveness of traffic safety education by adjusted means between groups. The results show that compared to uneducated group, educated group reveals to make less number of repeated DWI offence with longer DWI abidance period The resulting statistic also shows that active participation in the discussion during the class is more effective than just giving lecture. The former way for education can further reduce the repeated DWI by 12% and increase DWI abidance duration by 5.7% than the latter.
