자동차 안전도평가제도는 제작사가 보다 안전한 자동차를 제작하도록 유도하기 위해 충돌시험 등을 통하여 자동차의 안전성을 평가하고, 그 결과를 소비자에게 공개하고 있다. 이것은 자동차 사고로 인한 사회적 손실을 감소시킬 수 있는 효과적인 자동차 안전정책 중의 하나로써, 우리나라는 1999년부터 건설교통부 주관으로 신차평가를 실시하고 있다. 현재 안전도평가 대상차종이 크게 증가하여 안전도평가 대상 차종의 확대가 필요한 시점임에도 불구하고, 현실은 그렇지 못한 실정인데, 그 이유로는 평가인력, 시설 및 비용 등 여러 가지가 있겠으나, 가장 근본적인 이유는 자동차 안전도평가제도의 효과를 정확하게 파악하지 못하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자동차 안전도평가제도를 통해 자동차제작사가 자동차의 안전도를 향상시킴으로써 교통사고 발생시 사고의 심각도를 얼마나 줄여줄 수 있는지를 정량적으로 분석함으로써 자동차 안전도평가제도의 효과를 측정해 보고자 하였다. 안전도평가 항목 중 이용가능한 자료가 있는 정면충돌만을 대상으로 정면충돌로인한 사상자 수를 추정하고 안전도가 향상된 차종의 판매대수를 이용하여 자동차 안전도평가제도의 효과를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 2005년도 자료를 이용하여 정면충돌사고 시 사상자 감소분을 추정해 본 결과, 자동차 안전도평가제도를 시행함으로써 자동차 안전도가 향상되어 2005년 1년 동안 교통사고로 인한 사망자는 약 1.51명, 부상자는 약 446명 감소한 것으로 나타났다.

Vehicle safety device such as active headrest and rear detection system has been developing as people are interested about rear end collision more than head on or than front. However, there is no any standard or criterion in order to evaluate vehicle safety device for rear end collision. Also there is no test protocol about rear end collision in vehicle experiment. Therefore, this research developed scenario for experiment about rear end collision in vehicle experiment. Also this research evaluated dangerousness about vehicle test and fitness about re-enacting rear end collision using scenario developed using commercial software (PC-Crash) which can re-enact vehicle collision in virtual vehicle experiment. Scenario developed according to statistics from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and German In-Depth Accident Study. Scenario has twelve cases which composed of Re-LVS (Rear end Leading Vehicle Stop), Re-LVM (Rear end Lead Vehicle Moving) and scenario for evaluation about malfunction of active headrest.

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to describe the results of treatment for motor vehiclerelated crushing injuries among children and adolescents under sixteen years in Korea. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of data from children who were under sixteen year and injured foot by motor vehicles. Cases were documented 1) age at the time of injury, 2) injured site, 3) the area of accident, 4) the kind of vehicle, 5) associated injuries, 6) methods of treatment for soft tissue reconstruction and 7) complications. The relationships between the area of accident and associated injuries, and the kind of vehicle and associated injuries were analyzed using Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: There were 97 children who were 15 year and younger. The mean age was 7.4 years, and 65% were boys. The left foot was more dominant side of injury (57%). Seasonal variation was seen with the number of injuries peaking during the summer (43%, p<0.05). Among the vehicles, 78.3% were the large vehicles (bus, truck or van). The where of accident was more frequent at an alley or less than two lanes of traffic. But, the relationships between the place of accident and associated injury or the kind of vehicles and associated injury were not statistically significant. The associated injury were fracture or dislocation (23 cases, 35.9%), injury of tendon (21 cases, 32.8%). There were amputation or disarticulation of foot in 8 cases (8.2%) and post-traumatic deformities such as flatfoot, hindfoot varus or valus deformities by tendon injury in 7 cases (7.2%). Conclusion: More than 50% of crushing or degloving injuries of child's foot by traffic accidents happened in boys between 5 to 9 years old. The associated injury was unrelated with size of vehicles or accident place at the time of accident. But, even though foot injury happened in an alley or one lane by small vehicles, child who hurt feet by car need thorough investigation about associated injury. If a surgeon keep in mind and treat child to associated injury necessarily, can minimize complication. Microsurgical reconstruction for soft tissue defect was prior to other methods.

본 연구에서는 본 연구에서는 사고원인 및 예방이론을 적용하여 사업용 화물자동차의 운행특성과 위험운전행동 및 교통사고 위험성 간의 인과관계를 분석하였다. 사업용 화물자동차 운전자 303명을 대상으로 운전자별 근무특성, 운전경력, 운전능력, 운전심리, 차량특성(크기), 위험운전행동, 교통사고와 관련된 자료를 수집하였으며 근무특성 및 위험운전행동에 관한 자료는 운전자가 제출한 디지털운행기록을 활용하고 교통사고 자료는 실제 교통사고를 반영하기 위해 보험사고 자료를 활용하였다. 다수의 독립변수와 종속변수 간의 인과관계를 동시에 분석하기 위해 구조방정식 모형을 구축하고 모형 적합도 지수를 활용하여 모형을 검증하였다. 4가지 위험운전행동(급감속, 급가속, 급추월, 급정지)이 교통사고와 연관성이 높은 그룹으로 분석되었다. 소형 화물자동차, 운전능력이 부족한 운전자, 위험운전행동이 많은 운전자에 대한 안전관리 대책 마련 및 집중관리가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Since 2000, sports utility vehicles(SUVs) occupy about 40% of domestic vehicle sales. As sports utility vehicle sales are increased the probability of crash accident between SUVs and passenger vehicles increases. Generally, SUVs are heavier than passenger vehicles and their drive height and front end stillness are higher than passenger vehicles. Because of these characteristics SUVs cause more severe injury and fatal injury in SUV to passenger vehicle head-on impact. To evaluate SUV's aggessivity to passenger vehicle, we carried out SUV to passenger vehicle head-on crash test. And finally the way how to reduce incompatibility between SUVs and passenger vehicles is suggested.

Recently, Korea has established a plan for the supply of hydrogen vehicles and is promoting the expansion of the supply. Risk factors for hydrogen vehicles are hydrogen leakage, jet fire, and explosion. Therefore Safety measures are necessary for this hazard. In addition, risks in semi-closed spaces such as tunnels, underground roads, and underground parking lots should be analyzed. In this study, an explosion experiment was conducted on a hydrogen tank used in a hydrogen vehicle to analyze the risk of a hydrogen vehicle explosion accident that may occur in a semi-closed space. As results, the effect on the structure and the human body was analyzed using the overpressure and impulse values for each distance generated during the explosion.

More recently, workers and passengers of casualties has increased by rear-end collisions of unexpected while working on the road. Recently attracted air chamber TMA mounting car accidents which occurred in 3 years, and analyzed the effect of reducing the shock absorption and protection performance and casualties. There is a risk of the vehicle AIS4 more injury of high five accidents of casualties risk, also, was the analysis that there is risk of death was avoided by the air chamber TMA and SGT. Therefore, by mounting the TMA in the rear-end accident, so you can reduce the death and casualties, it must be increased this of attach rate for road construction vehicle.

Many children have died (Heat stroke deaths) in the U.S. after being left alone in cars during hot weather, especially summer season. According to related report, more than 800 children have died of heat stroke from being trapped in a hot car since 1998. The regulation party, government has started to make not only technical regulation to prevent tragedy but also legislate to punish. However the 75% of accident has occurred unintended by their parents. So punishment is not the best solution for this case. So in this study, we analyze the trend of regulation and technology to save occupant who remained back seat. And finally we propose a countermeasure to prevent heat stroke deaths.

Personal mobility, which was used exclusively for leisure activities, has recently been used as a means of transportation, and it is expected to increase its role as the next generation transportation. Sales of personal mobility are increasing rapidly, but the problem is that traffic accidents are also increasing. In this study, human body injury caused by various collisions between electric wheel users and road users that occur on bicycle or pedestrian roads mainly used by personal mobility is analyzed through collision analysis and collision risk analysis. In the case of the collision accident for electric wheel, it is analyzed that the road users are more likely to be injured on the pedestrian road than the bicycle road. In addition, the head hit each other or fall and hit the floor caused severe head injury.

The level crossing collision accident which comprises more than 90 percent of all level crossing accidents is one of the most serious safety problems. There is a critical need for providing safe strategy and is focusing on the level crossing information rather than measures at a grade crossing. This study is intended to develop technology for accident prevention and damage reduction based on accident cases analysis result and improvement direction to complement shortcomings of safety equipment of conventional level crossing and to establish safety of travelers(train, motor vehicle, person).
