An extensive real world in-depth crash accident data is needed to make a precise occupant injury risk prediction at crash accidents which might be a critical information from the scene of the accident in ACNS(Automatic Crash Notification System). However it is rather unfortunate that there is no such a domestic database unlike other leading countries. Therefore we propose a numerical method, i.e., crash simulation using a sled model to make a virtual database that can substitute car crash database in real world. The proposing crash injury risk prediction is validated against a limited domestic crash accident data.

PURPOSES: Using the collected data for crash, traffic volume, and design elements on ramps between 2007 and 2009, this research effort was initiated to develop traffic crash prediction models for expressway ramps. METHODS: Three negative binomial regression models and three zero-inflated negative binomial regression models were developed for individual ramp types, including direct, semi-direct and loop, respectively. For validating the developed models, authors compared the estimated crash frequencies with actual crash frequencies of twelve randomly selected interchanges, the ramps of which have not been used for model developing. RESULTS: The results show that the negative binomial regression models for direct, semi-direct and loop ramps showed 60.3%, 63.8% and 48.7% error rates on average whereas the zero-inflated negative binomial regression models showed 82.1%, 120.4% and 57.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Conclusively, the negative binomial regression models worked better in traffic crash prediction than the zero-inflated negative binomial regression models for estimating the frequency of traffic accidents on expressway ramps.

This study is to develop the prediction model for the HIC15 in frontal vehicle crash tests. The 28 frontal impact test results of the MY2019 and MY2020 USNCAP are utilized. The metrics for evaluating the crash pulse severity such as moving average acceleration, Restraint Quotient (RQ) and ride-down efficiency are reviewed to find out whether the metrics can predict the HIC15. It is observed that the R² values based on the linear regression of all pairs between the existing metrics and the occupant injuries such as the HIC15, 3 ms chest g's and chest deflection are very low. In this study, using the vehicle crash pulses, the linear regression model for estimating the HIC15 is developed. The vehicle crash pulse is splitted seven 10 ms intervals in 70 ms after impact for extracting the average accelerations in each intervals. The prediction model can predict effectively not only the HIC15 but also the maximum head g's, chest deflection and 3 ms chest g's of 13 vehicles out of 28 vehicles.

An analysis model is proposed for the performance prediction of typical ball and tube type mechanical crash sensors based upon mass-spring-viscous gas damping idealization. Also a construction of mechanical crash pulse generator is suggested as an experimental tool for calibration and verification of model predictions. A sensor tuning procedure for a particular set of crash pulses is suggested based upon the analysis model and the experimental tools.

전통적인 사고예측모형은 통계적 회귀분석에 주로 의존하였으나, 이는 자료 분포 및 함수 형태에 대한 가정에 따른 한계를 가지고 있다. 이에 따라 일부 연구는 신경망 등의 비모수적 기법을 모형 구축에 활용하였으나, 이는 독립변수와 종속변수 간의 직접적인 관계 규명이 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 유전자 프로그래밍 기법은 모형 개발에 특별한 가정이 필요없고, 사고요인 규명이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로의 사고예측에 유전자 프로그래밍 기법을 적용함으로써 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 경부고속도로에서 최근 3년간(2010-2012년) 구득된 자료를 활용하였으며, 보다 세밀한 사고 특성 규명을 위해 고속도로 구간을 직선 구간과 곡선 구간으로 구분하였다. 사고 발생에 중요한 영향을 미치는 변수를 선택하기 위하여 랜덤 포레스트 기법을 이용하였으며, 최종 선택된 변수들을 활용하여 사고예측을 위한 유전자 프로그래밍 모형을 구축하였다. 구축된 모형의 예측 성능을 평가하기 위해 음이항 회귀모형과 비교해본 결과, 유전자 프로그래밍 모형의 예측 성능이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Until now, passenger airbag design is based on the referred car design and many repetitive crash tests have been done to meet the crash performance. In this paper, it was suggested a new design process of passenger airbag. First, key performance factors were determined by analyzing the injury risk effectiveness of each performance factor. And it was made a relationship between injury risk and performance factor by using the response surface model. By using this one, it can be predicted the injury risk of head and neck. Predicted injury risk of optimal design was obtained through this injury risk prediction model and it was verified by FE analysis result within 18% error of head and 9% error of neck. It was shown that a target crash performance can be met by controlling the key performance factors only.

본 논문은 기존 모형들보다 더 정확한 고속도로 사고 예측 모형을 개발하기 위해 수행한 연구 결과를 제시하고 있다. 기존 모형들은 도로 기하구조와 사고 건수 간 연관성을 밝히기 위해 해당 사고 지점 주변의도로 특성만을 고려하는 반면, 본 연구에서는 해당 사고지점 전방에 위치한 도로구간을 합쳐서 고려하는 점이 다르다. 차량교통사고는 주행중인 상황에서 발생하고, 특히 고속도로의 경우 한 지점의 차량 속도는 전방 도로 상황에 따라 민감하게 변하기 때문에 본 연구에서 적용한 기법은 상당히 현실적이라 할 수 있다. 모형을 구축하기 위해 서해안고속도로 4차로 구간 269.3km를 선정하여 기하구조 데이터를 구축하였고, 해당 구간에서 2003~2008년 6년 동안 발생한 1,664건의 교통사고를 매칭시켰다. 본 데이터의 사고발생특성은 포아송분포보다 음이항분포를 따르는 것으로 분석되었으며, 본 연구에서 개발한 모형에 따르면 교통사고 발생은 곡선길이와 곡선반경에 반비례 관계인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 교통사고 발생은 직선부의 직선길이에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 기존 연구 결과와는 다른 결과로서, 본 연구에서 가정했던대로 교통사고 발생은 해당 사고지점 전방에 위치한 도로구간상황에 의존한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그 외에도 본 연구에서는 내리막 직선길이, 과속카메라 설치여부, 분류부와 합류부의 교통사고 발생에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 중요한 결과를 도출했다. 본 연구 결과는 고속도로 도로 설계와 안전 진단 사업에 도움이 될 것으로 기대하며, 향후 본 연구 기법을 일반 국도나 도시내 주요 도로들에 대해서도 적용해 보는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

In a vehicle-to-vehicle accident, the impact posture, braking status, final stopping position, collision point and collision speed are important factors for accident reconstruction. In particular, the speed of collision is the most important issue. In this study, the collision speed and the final stopping position in the tunnel were estimated using PC-CRASH, a vehicle crash analysis program used for traffic accident analysis, and the final stopping position of the simulation and the final stopping position of the traffic accident report were compared. When the Pride speed was 0km/h or 30km/h and the Sorento speed was 100m/h, the simulation results and reports matched the final stopping positions and posture of the two vehicles. As a result of the simulation, it can be estimated that Pride was collided in an almost stationary state.

Purpose - This paper examines the effect of related party transactions on crash firm-specific stock price crash risk. Ownership of a typical Korean conglomerate is concentrated in a single family. In those entities, management and board positions are often filled by family members. Therefore, a dominant shareholder can benefit from related party transactions. In Korea, firms have to report related party transactions in financial statement footnotes. However, those are not disclosed in detail. The more related party transactions are the greater information risk. Thus, companies with related party transactions are likely to experience stock price crashes. Research design, data, and methodology - 2,598 firm-year observations are used for the main analysis. Those samples are from TS2000 database from 2009 to 2013, and the database covers KOSPI-listed firms in Korea. The proxy for related party transactions (RTP) is calculated by dividing total transactions to the related-party by total sales. A dummy variable is used as a dependent variable (CRASH) in the regression model. Logistic regression is used to explain the relationship between related party transactions and crash risk. Then, the sample was separated into two groups; tunneling firms and propping firms. The relation between related party transactions and crash risk variances with features of the transaction were investigated. Results - Using a sample of KOSPI-listed firms in TS2000 database for the period of 2009-2013, I find that stock price crash risk increases as the trade volume of related-party transactions increases. Specifically, I find that the coefficient of RPT is significantly positive, supporting the prediction. In addition, this relationship is strong and robust in tunneling firms. Conclusions - The results report that firms with related party transactions are more likely to experience stock price crashes. The results mean that related party transactions increase the possibility of future stock price crashes by enlarging information asymmetry between controlling shareholders and minority shareholders. In case of tunneling, it could be seen that related party transactions are positively associated with stock crash risk. The result implies that the characteristic of the transaction influences crash risk. This study is related to a literature that investigates the effect of related party transactions on the stock market.

Purpose - This paper investigates whether managerial overconfidence is associated with firm-specific crash risk. Overconfidence leads managers to overestimate the returns of their investment projects, and misperceive negative net present value projects as value creating. They even use voluntary disclosures to convey their optimistic beliefs about the firms' long-term prospects to the stock market. Thus, the overconfidence bias can lead to managerial bad news hoarding behavior. When bad news accumulates and crosses some tipping point, it will come out all at once, resulting in a stock price crash. Research design, data and methodology - 7,385 firm-years used for the main analysis are from the KIS Value database between 2006 and 2013. This database covers KOSPI-listed and KOSDAQ-listed firms in Korea. The proxy for overconfidence is based on excess investment in assets. A residual from the regression of total asset growth on sales growth run by industry-year is used as an independent variable. If a firm has at least one crash week during a year, it is referred to as a high crash risk firm. The dependant variable is a dummy variable that equals 1 if a firm is a high crash risk firm, and zero otherwise. After explaining the relationship between managerial overconfidence and crash risk, the total sample was divided into two sub-samples; chaebol firms and non-chaebol firms. The relation between how I overconfidence and crash risk varies with business group affiliation was investigated. Results - The results showed that managerial overconfidence is positively related to crash risk. Specifically, the coefficient of OVERC is significantly positive, supporting the prediction. The results are strong and robust in non-chaebol firms. Conclusions - The results show that firms with overconfident managers are likely to experience stock price crashes. This study is related to past literature that examines the impact of managerial overconfidence on the stock market. This study contributes to the literature by examining whether overconfidence can explain a firm's future crashes.
