도로 상의 안개는 교통류에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 알려져 있다. 이를 해소하기 위한 방안으로 최근 실시간 도로 및 기상조건에 따라 적절한 제한속도를 제공하는 가변제한속도시스템 VSL(Variable Speed Limit)을 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 하지만, VSL은 운전자가 제한속도를 준수하지 않을 경우 차량 간 속도 편차가 증가하여 오히려 교통사고의 위험도를 가중시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 기상조건별 VSL 유 무에 따른 운전자의 가변속도제한의 순응 경향 및 교통특성 분석을 목적으로 한다. 차량 시뮬레이터를 이용한 주행 환경을 구현하여 실험을 수행하였으며 기상조건은 크게 맑음, 안개로 나누었다. 분석 결과, 피험자의 평균 속도는 대부분 제한속도를 순응하였지만 전체적으로 속도 편차는 가변제한속도를 적용할 경우에 감소하는 것으로 분석되었고 특히, 안개가 발생할 경우 더욱 뚜렷하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 기상조건이 운전자의 전방 시거에 영향을 미치면 VSL에 대한 운전자의 순응도는 높아지고, 속도 편차가 감소하여 교통안전성 향상에 도움을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 향후 가변속도제한 운영속도를 산정하는데 기초자료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : Low visibility caused by dark surroundings at nighttime affects the likelihood of accidents, and various efforts, such as installing road safety facilities, have been made to reduce accidents at night. Despite these efforts, the nighttime severity index (SI) in Korea was higher than the daytime SI during 2011-2014. This study determined the factors affecting daytime and nighttime accident severity through a discriminant analysis. METHODS : Discriminant analysis. RESULTS : First, drowsiness, lack of attention, and lighting facilities affected both daytime and nighttime accident severity. Accidents were found to be caused by a low ability to recognize the driving conditions and a low obstacle avoidance capability. Second, road conditions and speeding affected only the daytime accident severity. Third, failure to maintain a safe distance significantly affected daytime accident severity and nonsignificantly affected nighttime accident severity. The majority of such accidents were caused by rear-end collisions of vehicles driving in the same direction; given the low relative speed difference in such cases, the shock imparted by the accidents was minimal. CONCLUSIONS : Accidents caused by a failure to maintain a safe distance has lower severity than do accidents caused by other factors.

2차로 양방향 도로(이하 2차로 도로)의 주요한 특징은 화물차량 등의 저속차량으로 인하여 발생하는 차량군과 차량추월 행태이다. 차량추종과 차량추월모형이 결합된 2차로 도로 교통류 모형을 개발하기 위해서는 2차로 도로에 적합한 차량추종모형의 개발이 필수적이다. 2차로 도로에서 고속차량은 저속차량의 후미에서 차량추종을 수행함과 더불어 추월을 수행하게 되며, 이 과정에서 짧은 차간거리가 발생하게 된다. 또한 저속차량을 추종하는 차량은 대항교통류의 차두시간분포 내에서 적정 공간을 이용하여 차량추월을 결정하게 된다. 따라서 2차로 차량추종모형은 짧은 차간거리에서 차량주행과 더불어 차두시간분포를 설명해야 한다. 추가적으로 국내의 2차로 도로규모를 고려하면 대규모 도로망을 모의실험할 수 있는 모형이 필요한 실정이다. 국내의 경우, 2차로 차량추종모형에 대한 연구는 거의 보고되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 가로망에 적용이 가능하면서 2차로 도로의 차량추종행태를 보다 현실적으로 구현할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형의 실험적 평가 결과, 혼잡 교통류의 특성 중 하나인 가다서다(stop-and-go) 현상과 차두시간분포를 효과적으로 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 차량추종모형이 차량추월모형과 결합된 경우, 보다 현실적으로 2차로 도로 교통류를 설명할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Road traffic noise causes considerable disturbance and annoyance in exposed inhabitants. Particularly, arterial road noise is a significant environmental problem in many urban areas in which higher traffic volume and higher car speed occur. Arterial road noise became the target of this investigation in Seoul, South Korea. Noise levels were measured at four points that were based on distance from roadside at the same measurement site and under the conditions as reported by the National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) in 1999. The average noise levels ($L_{eq,1h}$) of the arterial road was 80.3 dBA at 5 m, 77.4 dBA at 10 m, 73.7 dBA at 20 m, 70.9 dBA at 30 m. A comparison between 1999 and 2008's measurement values has shown that in 2008 noise level is up by about 1.5 dBA, traffic volume has increased by about 15.7%, while car speed has decrease by about 8%. The relationship between 2008' measured values and predicted values using the NIER Equation is low under 10 m from the roadside. The influence range of arterial noise is calculated at 26 m for road noise limits in daytime. In relation to the comparison between traffic volume and noise level, the equivalence in traffic volume (Light car+10xHeavy car) is higher than other variables.

While commercialization of IoT technologies in the safety management sector is being promoted in terms of industrial safety of large indoor businesses, implementing a system for risk management of small outdoor work sites with frequent site movements is not actively implemented. In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which combined low-power, wide-bandwidth (LPWA) communication and low-power Bluetooth (BLE) communication technologies to support customized risk management alarm systems for each individual (driver/operator/manager). This study was designed to enable long-term low-power collection and transmission of traffic information in outdoor environment, as well as to implement an integrated real-time safety management system that notifies a whole field worker who does not carry a separate smart device in advance. Performance assessments of the system, including risk alerts to drivers and workers via Bluetooth communication, the speed at which critical text messages are received, and the operation of warning/lighting lamps are all well suited to field application.

In a hierarchical road network, all roads can be classified according to their attributes such as speed limit, number of lanes, etc. By splitting the whole road network into the subnetworks of the highlevel and low-level roads, we can reduce the size of the network to be calculated at once, and find a path in the way that drivers usually adopt when searching out a travel route. To exploit the hierarchical property of road networks, we define a convenient path and propose an algorithm for finding convenient paths. We introduce a parameter indicating the driver's tolerance to the difference between the length of a convenient path and that of a shortest convenient path. From this parameter, we can determine how far we have to search for the entering and exiting gateway. We also propose some techniques for reducing the number of pairs of entries and exits to be searched in a road network. A result of the computational experiment on a real road network is given to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Road structures play an important role in collisions involving vehicles and wildlife. Our study aimed to determine the effect of various types of road structures on the risk associated with roadkill. We surveyed 50 previously identified roadkill hotspots, ranked from one to five according to roadkill density. We collected nine types of road structure data on each hotspot road section. Structures with similar characteristics were grouped together, resulting in five categories, namely, median barrier, high edge barrier, low edge barrier, speed, and visibility. We examined the existence of each road structure category at each hotspot rank. The cumulative link model showed that the absence of bottom blocked median barrier increased the roadkill hotspot rank. Our study concluded that a visual obstacle in the middle of roads by the median barrier decreases wildlife road crossing attempts and roadkill risk. We suggest that future roadkill mitigation plans should be established considering these characteristics.

According to the National Police Agency, point-to-point speed enforcement system is being installed and operated in 97 sections across the country. It is more effective than other enforcement systems in terms of stabilizing the traffic flow and inhibiting the kangaroo effect. But it is only 5.1% of the total enforcement systems. The National Police Agency is also aware that its operation ratio is very low and it is necessary to expand point-to-point speed enforcement system. Hence, this study aims to provide the expansion basis of the point-to-point speed enforcement operation through analysis of the quantitative effects and development the accident prediction model. Firstly, this study analyzed the effectiveness of point-to-point speed enforcement system. Naive before-after study and comparison group method(C-G Method) were used as methodologies of analyzing the effectiveness. The result of using the naive before-after study was significant. Total accidents, EPDOs and casualty crashes decreased by 42.15%, 70.64% and 45.30% respectively. And average speed and the ratio of exceeding speed limit decreased by 6.92% and 20.50%p respectively. Moreover, using the C-G method total accidents, EPDOs and casualty crashes decreased by 31.35%, 66.62% and 10.04% respectively. And average speed and the ratio of exceeding speed limit decreased by 3.49% and 56.65%p respectively. Secondly, this study developed a prediction model for the probability of casualty crash. It was dependant on factors of traffic volume, ratio of exceeding speed limit, ratio of heavy vehicle, ratio of curve section, and presence of point-to-point speed enforcement. Finally, this study selected the most danger sections to the major highway and evaluated proper installation sections to the recent installation section by applying the accident prediction model. The results of this study are expected to be useful in establishing the installation standards for the point-to-point speed enforcement system.

본 연구는 차량 운전 중 운전자가 원하는 속도만큼 속도를 내지 못하는 상황이 운전 스트레스에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 실시되었다. 운전자의 속도에 대한 욕구좌절은 희망 주행속도와 실제 주행속도의 차이로 구성개념화 되었다. 연구결과 4가지 도로조건(고속도로, 국도도로, 시내도로, 시골도로) 모두에서 운전자들의 희망 주행속도는 실제 주행속도보다 높게 나타났다. 4가지 도로조건(고속도로, 국도도로, 시내도로, 시골도로)을 종합한 평균 속도 욕구좌절은 운전 스트레스 척도 모든 점수(전체 DSQ점수, 전체 DSI점수, 전체 DSF점수, 진행장애 요인, 운전환경 요인, 사고단속 요인, 교통법규 요인, 시간압력 요인)들에 정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 속도 욕구좌절이 높아짐에 따라 운전 스트레스 척도의 강도 점수와 진행장애 요인, 시간압력 요인 등이 다른 운전 스트레스 척도 점수들보다 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 평균 속도 욕구좌절을 백분위 점수에 따라 4가지 수준으로 구분하여 운전 스트레스 척도 점수들과 과속단속 그리고 가해·피해 교통사고 경험 차이를 분석하였다. 분석결과 속도 욕구좌절이 높은 운전자들은 속도 욕구좌절이 낮은 운전자들보다 운전 스트레스 척도의 점수들도 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 속도 욕구좌절 정도에 따른 과속단속 경험이나 가해·피해사고 경험은 차이가 나타나지 않았다.
