교통사고를 줄이기 위해서, 많은 연구원이 교통사고 예측 모형을 연구하고 있다. 교통사고의 원인으로는 교차로 신호주기가 잘못 산출되거나 교차로 설계가 잘못된 경우가 많다. 그러므로, 정확하게 교통사고 원인을 분석하려면 많은 노력이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 교차로 조건 및 날씨조건을 고려하여 최적 자동차 안전 속도를 실시간으로 산출하고자한다. 특별히, 비가 오거나 눈이 오는 경우에는 자동차 속도를 1/3이상 감속해야 된다. 그러나, 기존의 속도표지판은 기상조건이 바뀌어도 항상 같은 제한 속도를 표시하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 날씨조건과 도로조건을 이용한 최적 안전속도 산출 알고리즘을 제시한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험결과, 지능형 교통사고 예측알고리즘이 교통 제한속도를 정확하게 산출할 수 있음을 입증했다.

본 연구는 지속 확대 설치되고 있는 교통신호기가 교통사고 예방에 어떤 효과가 있는지 분석하기 위한 것이다. 대전광역시 교통신호기 1,602개소 중에서 2013~2019년까지 7년간 TCS에 등록된 신호위반 등 교통사고 자료 7,045건을 수기 검색하였다. 교통사고 다발 상위 20개소 교차로를 특정하고, 교통사고 조사기록과 현장지도를 열람하여 위반차량의 주행 방향, 신호현시를 비교분석하고, 신호위반 교통사고 원인을 신호운영 설계(운영) 미흡과 운전자 과실(고의)을 구분해서 문제점 및 개선안을 제안하였다. 분석 결과 직좌동시신호와 중복현시 등에서 신호위반 교통사고 75%가 발생하였고, 황색신호에서 발생하는 교통사고 대책으로 황색신호시간 연장 또는 전적색(All Red)신호 운영시 교통사고가 줄어들었다. 비보호 좌회전은 정상신호로 개선이 필요하다. 또한, 경찰에서는 교통사고 현장지도 및 신호관련 자료에 대하여 수기 열람으로 교통사고 예방대책 수립시 많은 인력과 활용도가 떨어져 교통업무관리시스템(TCS)의 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구는 현장에서 수집한 방대한 데이터를 분석하여 개선방안을 제시한 것으로 신호운영에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

According to traffic accidents statistics, the number of fatalities, injuries and the rate of increase of traffic accidents have been decreasing over last 5-years. The fatality rate is 1.9 for total accidents but the fatality rate for single vehicle accidents shows a 7.9, which is 4 times greater than the average for all accidents. Single vehicle accidents, usually occur as a vehicle impacts a fixed objects on the roadside as the vehicle runs-off from the road. However, few researches have been conducted considering the accident severity of single vehicle accidents which impact to the fixed objects on the road. The single vehicle accident is directly related to the composition of road cross section, (since it is the required the minimum width of a road for all run-off-the-road vehicles to recover or come to a safe stop). Therefore, this study analyzes the influence of road cross section on traffic accidents to find out the severity of single vehicle accident. To analyze the road elements which are related to the accident severity, the Ordered Probit Model was used. As variables, the element of road cross section such as the radius(m), vertical curve(%), cross sectional grade(%), road width(m). number of climbing lane, median, and curb, were used (as was the 3-years of accidents data). This study found out that cross slope(%), road width(m), and the number of climbing lane are related to the severity of accident. The result of this study could be expected to improve the road safety and to be used as the base data for further road safety research.

The traffic accident is the prerequisite of the traffic accident reconstruction. In this study, the traffic accident (forward collision) and traffic accident reconstruction (inverse collision) simulations are conducted to improve the quality and accuracy of the traffic accident reconstruction. The vehicle and tire models are used to simulate the trajectories for the post-impact motion of the vehicles after collision. The impact dynamic model applicable to the forward and inverse collision simulations is also provided. The accuracy of impact analysis for the vehicular collision depends on the accuracy of the coefficients of restitution and friction. The neural network is used to estimate these coefficients. The forward and inverse collision simulations for the multi-collisions are conducted. The new method fur the accident reconstruction is proposed to calculate the pre-impact velocities of the vehicles without using the trial and error process which requires the repeated calculations of the initial velocities until the forward collision simulation satisfies with the accident evidences. This method estimates the pre-impact velocities of the vehicles by analyzing the trajectories of the vehicles. The vehicle slides on a road surface not only under the skidding during an emergency braking but also under the steering. A vehicle over steering or cornering with excessive speed loses the traction and leaves tile yaw marks on the road surface. The new critical speed formula based on the vehicle dynamics is proposed to analyze the yaw marks and shows smaller errors than ones of the existing critical speed formula.

최근 도로의 유지관리 개념의 중요성이 대두되면서 도로 자체의 유지보수 확장이나 도로선형 개량 등 도로상에서 각종 공사의 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 특히 고속으로 주행하는 고속도로 상에서 도로점용공사로 인하여 차로가 감소되는 구간은 교통효율과 사고 위험도 측면에서 체계적이고 합리적인 도로점용공사가 필요하지만, 국내의 도로 특성을 반영한 공사구간 도로상에서의 교통사고 측면의 연구가 부족하여 외국의 사례를 적용하고 있는데, 외국은 국가의 면적, 도로의 사정, 국민들의 의식수준 등 여러 가지 상황이 우리나라와 상이하여 외국의 사례를 그대로 적용했을 때에는 실제적으로 우리나라 도로현황과 일치하지 않는 경우가 대부분이다. 이에 고속도로 23개 노선을 중심으로 2003년부터 2005년까지 3년동안 교통통제가 이루어진 공사구간에서 발생한 교통사고를 조사하고 이 공사구간에서 발생하는 교통사고의 특성을 사고유형별, 사고심각도별, 공사유형별, 원인별, 사고 발생경향별, 그리고 전체 고속도로상의 교통사고와의 비교를 통해서 알아보고자 한다. 또한 이를 통해서 보다 구체적이고 세부적인 공사구간 통제지침의 필요성을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, a massive loss of life and property is occurring in Korea due to traffic accidents, with the rapid increase in cars. For improvement of traffic safety, the Korea Transportation Safety Authority intensively analyzes accident data in local governments with low traffic safety index, performs a field investigation to extract problems and offers local governments improvements for problems, by conducting the 'Special Survey of Actual Conditions of Traffic Safety' each year, starting 2008. But local governments cannot strongly push forward the improvement projects due to the limited budget and the uncertainty of the improvement plan effects. Therefore, this study suggested a model which applied the Utility concept to the AHP theory, in order to efficiently decide a priority of the improvement plans in accident black spots in consideration of the limited budget of local governments. The number of accidents in each spot for improvement and accident severity, traffic volume, pedestrian volume, the improvement project cost and the accident reduction effect were chosen as evaluation factors for deciding a priority, and data about the improvement plan costs and the accident reduction effects, traffic accidents and traffic volume in the spots to undergo the special research on the real condition of traffic accident in the past were collected from the existing studies. Then, regression analysis was carried out and the Utility Curve of each evaluation factor was computed. Based on the AHP analysis findings, this study devised a priority decision method which calculated the weight and the utility function of each evaluation factor and compared the total utility values. The AHP analysis findings showed that among the evaluation factors, accident severity had the biggest importance and it was followed by the improvement plan cost, the number of accidents, the improvement effect, traffic volume and pedestrian volume. The calculated utility function shows a rise in utility, as the variables of the 5 evaluation factors; the number of accidents, accident severity, the improvement plan effect, traffic volume and pedestrian volume increase and a fall in utility, as the variables of the improvement plan cost increase, since the improvement plan cost is included in the budget spent by a local government.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to analyze traffic accidents at circular intersections, and discuss accident reduction strategies based on land use and vehicle type. METHODS : Traffic accident data from 2010 to 2014 were collected from the "traffic accident analysis system" (TAAS) data set of the Road Traffic Authority. To develop the accident rate model, a multiple linear regression model was used. Explanatory variables such as geometry and traffic volume were used to develop the models. RESULTS : The main results of the study are as follows. First, it was found that the null hypotheses that land use and vehicle type do not affect the accident rate should be rejected. Second, 16 accident rate models, which are statistically significant (with high $R^2$ values), were developed. Finally, the area of the central island, number of speed humps, entry lane width, circulatory roadway width, bus stops, and pedestrian crossings were analyzed to determine their effect on accidents according to the type of land use and vehicle. CONCLUSIONS : Through the developed accident rate models, it was revealed that the accident factors at circular intersections changed depending on land use and vehicle type. Thus, selecting the appropriate location of bus stops for trucks, widening entry lanes for cars, and installing splitter islands and optimal lighting for motorcycles were determined to be important for reducing the accident rate. Additionally, the evaluation showed that commercial and mixed land use had a weaker effect on accidents than residential land use.

Traffic Accident Merging Index (TAMI) is developed for TMACS (Traffic Safety Information Management Complex System). TAMI is calculated by combining 'Severity Index' and 'Frequency'. The existing indexes are Traffic deaths per 100,000 population, Traffic deaths per 100,000 inhabitants/per billion veh-km, etc. However, there is no consistency in using them among local governments, so it can create confusion. Moreover, the index level is too complicated to understand. Therefore, this study suggests new traffic safety index, TAMI. It will work to improve the weaknesses and present accurate status of traffic safety in local governments.

고속도로에서 화물차는 승용차에 비해 도로의 많은 부분을 점유한다. 이로 인해 도로의 용량은 상대적으로 감소하며, 국소적으로 주변 운전자에게 위협적인 요소로 작용한다. 화물차 사고는 일반적인 사고와 달리 사고 특성이 다르므로 분석 방법 또한 일반적인 사고와 다르게 적용해야 한다. 사고 분석 방법 중 사고예측모형은 특정 구간에 대한 사고건수를 예측하며 교통계획을 수립할 때 사고 예방을 위한 대책 수립과 도로의 위험성을 진단할 때 활용된다. 이에 본 연구는 고속도로의 화물차 간 사고 비율을 적용하여 사고예측모형에 투입될 수 있는 보정계수를 산출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구를 위해 고속도로를 대상으로 사고 자료를 수집하였으며 2014~2016년까지 3개 년도의 교통량 및 사고 자료를 활용하였다. 연간 사고건수를 토대로 사고예측모형을 개발하였으며, 본 연구를 통해 화물차 간 사고 비율에 따른 사고예측모형을 비교함으로써 실질적인 고속도로 사고예측모형을 확인하고 그에 대한 대책을 제시하고자 한다.
