In the present the usage of bicycle has increased steeply due to well-being and convenient way of movement. In car to bicycle accident, the throw distance of bicycle is very important factor for estimating collision situation. In this study, simulations and collision tests in actual car to bicycle were executed for obtaining throw distance of bicycle. The simulations were executed by PC-CRASHTM s/w with vehicle of sedan type. Sand bags were used for the behavior of bicyclist instead of dummy and factors considered were vehicle velocity, the crashed angles and part of bicycle to vehicle, and bicycle was adult type. From the results, the throw distances of tire collision of 00 was longer than that of 450 tire crash, and the throw distances of 900 frame crash were longer than those of 450 frame crash. With based on actual crash tests and simulations, restitution coefficient of between vehicle and bicycle was estimated as 0.1. Finally the increaser vehicle velocity the longer the throw distances of bicycle and the simulation results were relatively good agreement to the results of experiment.

Recently the usage of bicycle has increased steeply in Korea owing to traffic culture of well- being. In a car to bicycle accident investigation, the throw distance of bicycle is very important factor for reconstructing of the accident. The variables that influence on the throw distance of bicycle can be classified into the factors of vehicle and bicycle. Simulations and collision tests in actual car to bicycle accident were executed for obtaining throw distance of bicycle. The simulations were done by PC-$CRASH^{TM}$ and for actual crash tests sand bags were used for the behavior of bicyclist instead of dummy. Factors considered were vehicle velocity and the moving angles of bicycle, also the types of bicycle and vehicle were fairy cycle and automobile, respectively. From the results, the throw distances of a head-on tire collision of $0^{\circ}$ direction was longer than that of tire crash test of $45^{\circ}$ direction, and the throw distances of a head -on frame crash test of $90^{\circ}$ direction was longer than that of frame crash test of $45^{\circ}$ direction. In addition restitution coefficient between vehicle and bicycle was estimated as about 0.1 with based on actual crash tests. Finally the increaser vehicle velocity the longer the throw distances of bicycle, and the results of simulation were relatively good agreement to the experimental results.

1970년대 이후 급속한 경제성장과자동차의 증가로 인해 도심지의 극심한 교통정체와 환경파괴의 문제가 대두되었다. 이러한 도시의 부정적 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 승용차위주의 교통수단을 승용차외의 대체교통수단으로 전환하는 것이 보다 효과적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 관점에서 자전거는 환경친화적인 그린교통수단(Green Mode)으로 세계 각국에서는 각광받고 있고, 국내에서도 자전거의 이용률을 높이기 위한 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자전거 이용의 활성화를 위해 우선적으로 고려되어져야 하는 안전성 측면에서 자전거 사고에 영향을 미치는 영향인자들에 대한 분석을 시도하였다. 자전거 사고의 안전성 분석을 위하여 비선형 회귀분석을 통해 사고모델을 개발하였고, 이들 개발된 모델들을 이용하여 자전거사고에 영향을 미치는 주요설명변수들에 대한 분석을 시도하였다. 모델분석결과, 포아송회귀분석(poisson regression)이 모델개발에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 자전거 사고에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 교통량, 진출입구 수, 지형, 자전거도로, 학교, 주거지역, 교차로의 크기 버스정류장 등으로 분석되었다.

PURPOSES: This study proposes a novel method based on microscopic simulation models to evaluate bicycle passing ways in mixed traffic flow conditions at signalized intersections. METHODS: Both operational efficiency and safety are taken into consideration in the evaluation. A widely used performance measure, delay, is used for evaluating the operational efficiency. Regarding the safety evaluation, surrogate safety measures (SSM) to represent traffic conflicts and the level of crash severity, DeltaS and Max.DeltaV, are applied in the proposed method. RESULTS: Extensive simulations and statistical tests show that an integrated bike-box way is identified as the best in terms of operational efficiency and safety. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method and outcomes of this study will be valuable for bicycle traffic operations and facility design.

최근 도입되고 있는 첨단 차량 장치는 교통 안전분야에서 중요한 이슈가 되어왔던 중대형 사고 위주의 자료수집, 사고 자료의 정확성과 같은 다양한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 첨단 차량 장치의 하나인 차량 블랙박스 자료를 활용하여, 이륜차(two wheeler: TW) 즉, 자전거 혹은 오토바이와 택시간 사고 발생 시 이륜차 운전자의 사고 심각도를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 인천시에서 2010년부터 2011년까지 영업용 택시 블랙박스에 기록된 택시-이륜차 사고 자료를 활용하였으며, 심각도 분석을 위해 순서형 프로빗 모형을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 기존 연구결과에서는 확인할 수 없는 새로운 심각도 요인이 발견되었다. 즉, 충돌 직전의 택시 속도가 높을수록, 택시 또는 이륜차의 파손이 발생한 경우, 사고 후 이륜차 운전자의 보행이 불가능할 경우, 그리고 1차 사고 후 이륜차 운전자가 2, 3차 충격으로 이어진 경우 사고 심각도는 더욱 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.

Introduction: Facial fractures (FFs) occur after high- and low-energy trauma; differences in associated injuries and outcomes have not been well articulated. Objective: To compare the epidemiology, management, and outcomes of patients suffering FFs from high-energy and low-energy mechanisms. Methods: We conducted a 6-year retrospective local trauma registry analysis of adults aged 18-55 years old that suffered a FF treated at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Fracture patterns, concomitant injuries, procedures, and outcomes were compared between patients that suffered a high-energy mechanism (HEM: motor vehicle crash, bicycle crash, auto versus pedestrian, falls from height > 20 feet) and those that suffered a low-energy mechanism (LEM: assault, ground-level falls) of injury. Results: FFs occurred in 123 patients, 25 from an HEM and 98 from an LEM. Rates of Le Fort (HEM 12% vs. LEM 3%, P = 0.10), mandible (HEM 20% vs. LEM 38%, P = 0.11), midface (HEM 84% vs. LEM 67%, P = 0.14), and upper face (HEM 24% vs. LEM 13%, P = 0.217) fractures did not significantly differ between the HEM and LEM groups, nor did facial operative rates (HEM 28% vs. LEM 40%, P = 0.36). FFs after an HEM event were associated with increased Injury Severity Scores (HEM 16.8 vs. LEM 7.5, P <0.001), ICU admittance (HEM 60% vs. LEM 13.3%, P <0.001), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) (HEM 52% vs. LEM 15%, P <0.001), cervical spine fractures (HEM 12% vs. LEM 0%, P = 0.008), truncal/lower extremity injuries (HEM 60% vs. LEM 6%, P <0.001), neurosurgical procedures for the management of ICH (HEM 54% vs. LEM 36%, P = 0.003), and decreased Glasgow Coma Score on arrival (HEM 11.7 vs. LEM 14.2, P <0.001). Conclusion: FFs after HEM events were associated with severe and multifocal injuries. FFs after LEM events were associated with ICH, concussions, and cervical spine fractures. Mechanism-based screening strategies will allow for the appropriate detection and management of injuries that occur concomitant to FFs. Type of study: Retrospective cohort study. Level of evidence: Level III.
