This study analyzes the characteristics of occupational accidents of food delivery via motorcycle in terms of accident probability and work-days. Depending on their employment status, food-delivery workers were divided into "employed" workers (who work for restaurants) and "special-type" workers (who work for delivery platforms). Collected data include occupational accident-information during the last two years (1,468 cases for employed workers and 4,899 cases for special-type workers) and their risk information such as age, work experience, accident location, season of the accident, and weather conditions. The study finds that special-type workers had a significantly higher accident probability for the younger age group (80.8%), while employed workers had more accidents in both 20's or younger (34.9%) and 50's or older (25.4%). The number of work-days-lost was higher for special-type workers with less work experience, and it decreased with increasing work experience. Moreover, the chance for accidents was higher at night time (55%) than for day time (45%) for special-type workers as well as for employed workers. The number of work-days-lost was higher in foreign workers (180.79 days) than in Korean workers (121.44 days). Accident probability (30.7%) and work-days-lost (136.2 days) was higher in winter than in other seasons. In addition, accidents-per-day was higher on snowy days (12.7 cases per day) than rainy (8.1) and windy days (7.1). In addition, it was found that deadly accidents mainly caused injuries to face, head, and chest, while non-deadly accidents affected mainly the legs and feet. This study enables the development of better policies to prevent accidents of food delivery workers.

The total number of Korean restaurants using delivery applications has substantially increased from 7.6% in 2018 to 11.2% in 2019. In 2020, the gross sales in the food delivery service market reached approximately 17 trillion won; this amount is virtually six times that in 2017 (i.e., 2 trillion won). Meanwhile, the annual average death toll of motorcycle riders increased by 3.5%, whereas the number of deaths due to other traffic accidents decreased by 8.2%. Consequently, the foregoing has become a critical social problem. Despite the continuing increase in the number of delivery riders due to the rapid expansion of the delivery industry, no appropriate safety management system has been established. Moreover, the government is experiencing difficulties in assessing the exact situation because of the absence of competent authority. In this study, fundamental data on the characteristics of delivery work and motorcycle accidents were collected through surveys and interviews; then, the influencing factors of traffic accidents were analyzed. Different influencing factors were identified: work experience as a rider; number of deliveries; whether to accept delivery requests in transit; manner of accepting delivery requests; and traffic law violations, such as speeding (for faster delivery) and running a red light. Because the motorcycle delivery industry has a relatively low job-entry barrier (i.e., special qualifications are not required), the riding skills of riders must be improved, and delivery companies must be technically developed to achieve a safe working environment. The results of this study can be utilized as fundamental data for system development or structural improvement of the delivery industry.

Korea has entered to 'aged society', which the elderly people over 65 years old is over 14% of total population. This paper aims to analyze the traffic accident by aging level. In pursuing the above, this paper focuses on modeling the traffic accident severity based on three aging levels. The main results are as follows. First, the ratio of fatal and serious injured persons (FSI) is judged to increase according to increasing aging level. Second, the null hypothesis that there is no difference in FSI among three aging levels (aging, aged, and super-aged) is rejected. Four accident severity generalized linear models which are all statistically significant have been developed. Third, the common variables are analyzed to be median age, the number of hospital beds per persons, and turn signal usage ratio. Fourth, the differentiated traffic safety policies fitted to aging levels are required. The enforcement of traffic law violation and safety enhancement of motorcycle in the region of 'aging society', improvement of traffic facilities in the region of 'aged society', and expansion of transportation facilities in the region of 'super-aged society' are evaluated to be indispensable.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between injury and injury severity score (ISS) in geriatric traffic accident patients transported by 119 emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Methods: The subjects were 240 traffic accident patients over 65 years old transported by 119 rescue services emergency departments in Busan from January 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015. Results: ISS increased in motorcycle traffic accidents (p=.026), truck injuries (p=.005), and head and neck injury (p<.001). Vital signs were evaluated by 119 rescue EMT. ISS increased in cases of unresponsive unconsciousness (p<.001), hypotension (p=.001), and bradycardia (p<.001). The need for bleeding control and dressing by the EMTs increased ISS significantly (p=.022). Conclusion: In the initial evaluation of geriatric traffic patients, ISS can increase in motor cycle accidents and truck injuries. Due to high ISS, patients with head and neck injury, chest injury, hypotension, or tachycardia should be transferred to advanced level hospitals.

우리나라 경찰은 차량순찰을 중점적으로 실시하고 도보순찰 및 오토바이 순찰을 병행하여 활용하고 있으나, 오토바이 순찰은 차량순찰과 도보순찰의 장점을 혼합한 것이어서, 오토바이 순찰을 효과적으로 활용한다면 순찰범위를 더욱 확대하고 지역주민과의 친밀성도 증진시킬 수 있다고 여겨진다. 이 연구의 목적은 경찰 오토바이 순찰활동의 주요요소들 중에서 어떤 요소들이 그 효과성 인식에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고, 분석 결과에 기초하여 경찰오토바이 순찰활동의 효과성 인식을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안들을 제안하는 것이다. 이 연구는 2013년 9월에 오토바이 순찰활동을 집중적으로 실시했던 대전지방경찰청에 근무하는 경찰관 139명을 대상으로 조사하였고, 독립변수로는 경찰관과 주민간 친밀성, 순찰장비의 우수성, 대응의 신속성, 순찰방법의 적절성이라는 4개 변수가 선정되었으며, 종속변수는 경찰 오토바이 순찰활동의 효과성 인식이다. 회귀분석의 결과, 종속변수인 경찰 오토바이 순찰활동의 효과성 인식에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 독립변수는 대응의 신속성, 순찰방법의 적절성, 순찰경찰관과 주민간 친절성 3개 변수인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 이 연구의 분석결과에 기초해서, 경찰 오토바이 순찰활동의 효과성 인식을 향상시키기 위해서는, 대응의 신속성을 증진시키고 순찰방법의 적절성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 마련하고, 순찰경찰관에게 주민간 친절성의 가치를 인식시킬 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 교통사고 가운데 인적피해를 동반한 교통사고에 대해 교통사고의 시공간적 특성과 교통사고 심각도에 영향을 미치는 주요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2012년부터 2015년 까지 4년간 서울시에서 발생한 교통사고 데이터 가운데 인적사고가 있는 데이터를 교통사고 심각도에 따라 경상, 중상, 사망 교통사고로 분류하고, 교통사고의 시공간특성분석은 커널분석, 핫스팟분석, 스페이스타임큐브분석, EHSA(Emerging HotSpot Analysis)를 수행하였으며, 교통사고 심각도에 영향을 미치는 요인 분석은 데이터마이닝 기법중의 하나인 의사결정나무 모형을 활용하였다. 분석결과 서울시 교통사고는 도심부 보다는 외곽지역에서 많이 발생하며 특히 한강 이남의 상업 활동이 많은 곳에서 교통사고가 많음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 서초와 강남의 일부 상업 및 유흥지역을 중심으로 교통사고 집중지역이 나타나며 교통사고 다발지역은 시간이 흐름에 따라 그 현상이 더욱 심화되는 경향을 보이고 있었다. 사망교통사고의 경우 지역적으로는 영등포구, 구로구, 종로구, 중구, 성북구 일부지역에 통계적으로 유의미한 핫스팟지역이 나타나지만 시간대별로 구분해보면 오후 퇴근시간 부터 새벽까지 일부 구간에서 핫스팟이 나타나며 시간 고려 없이 분석된 결과와는 상이한 패턴이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 서울시 교통사고 심각도에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인으로는 사고유형이 가장 중요한 역할을 하며 도로의 종류, 차량의 종류, 교통사고 발생 시간, 법규위반 종류 등의 순으로 중요도가 나타났다. 교통사고 가운데 심각한 교통사고로 이어지는 경우는 차대 사람이나 차량단독으로 사고가 나는 경우 고속도로나 특별광역시도와 같이 폭원이 넓고 차량속도가 높은 곳에서 승합차나 화물차에서 중상의 교통사고가 일어날 가능성이 높으며, 동일한 상황에서 승합차나 화물차가 아닌 승용차, 자전거, 이륜차 등의 경우에는 새벽시간에 심각한 교통사고로 이어질 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Radiography should be used judiciously and should not delay patients resuscitation. In the patient with emergency multiple trauma, three radiography should be obtained-cervical spine, anteroposterior(AP) chest, and AP pelvis. These examinations can be done in the resuscitation area, usually with a portable X-ray unit, but should not interrupt the resuscitation process. A retrospective study was carried on 157 emergency multiple trauma patients who were admitted to Yong Dong Severance Hospital from January, to December in 1995. I analyzed the types of X-ray examinations in emergency multiple trauma patients, and classified the patients by disoriented group of mentality. The results were as follows: 1. The subjects were 7.1%(157patients) of 2,208 trauma patients(7.3%) in total 30,085 emergency patients. 2. Male to female ratio was 2.57 : 1. The age distribution was highest from 31 years to 40 years(28.0% ). 3. The peak time of patient's entrance in emergency center was between 8 : 00 pm and 2 : 00 am(36.9%), and second peak time was between 2 : 00 pm and 8 : 00 pm (29.3%). 4. According to the injury type, traffic accident, motorcycle accident and falling down were 71.3%, 8.3% and 20.4% respectively. 5. According to the exposure rate of Computed Tomography, chest CT, cervical CT pelvis CT and brain CT were 39.5%, 24.2%, 69.4% and 51.6% respectively.

Purpose: Traumatic aortic injuries are rare, but life threatening condition. They usually occur after high velocity impact on the chest or abdomen such as traffic accident or fall. We report the experiences of the traumatic aortic injuries at a single center. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of nine patients with aortic injury resulting from the blunt trauma from Jan. 2010 to May. 2016. Results: The mean age was $51.1{\pm}20.8$ years old, and ten (90.9%) were men. The mechanisms of injury were traffic accidents in seven patients (motorcycle accidents; 3, car accidents; 4), and four in fall injury. Most common injured sites were thoracic aorta (9, 81.8%). Aortic injuries were repaired by endovascular approach in four patients, and by open graft surgery in four. Two patients were managed conservatively. Nine patients survived without any complications. Conclusion: We had experienced different approaches for management of aortic injuries after blunt trauma according to locations and severity of lesions.

Subclavian injuries in blunt trauma are reported in less than 1% of all arterial injuries or chest related injuries. We report a female 68 yr-old patient whom has visited our emergency center due to a motorcycle traffic accident with complaints of right chest wall and shoulder pain. Her injury severity score was 22 and she was found with a comminuted clavicle fracture and subclavian artery injury. She developed delayed symptoms of pallor, pain and motor weakness with loss of pulse in her right arm. Attempts at intervention failed and thus, she underwent emergency artificial graft bypass from her subclavian artery to her brachial artery. Her postoperative course was uneventful and she is happy with the results. Although rare, a high index of suspicion for the injury must be noted and the inevitable surgical option must always be considered.

This 18-year-old male patient had a massive epistaxis after motorcycle traffic accident on 1st day of admission. There were no other significant brain parenchymal lesion on initial brain CT exam, except multiple pneumocephalus and basal skull fracture lines. We treated epistaxis conservatively till vital signs were corrected, and then conventional cerebral angiogram was followed. On angiogram, there was traumatic pseudoaneurysm on C5 portion(by Fischer) of ICA, so we treated it only by endovascular stenting. For the purpose of sparing parent arterial patency, endovascular stenting on pseudoaneurysm may play a role with safety and good results.
