A rapid increase in traffic accidents involving senior vehicle occupants has been an issue in Korea because of the aging of the population occurring at one of the fastest rates in the world; unfortunately, few studies beyond several looking at the effect of senior occupants on the level of accident injury severity can be found in the literature. A Multinomial logit model was estimated with Newton-Raphson algorithm to perform bias-reducing penalized likelihood optimization. Model covariates integral to developing the model were included, but the main focus was on the interaction of seating position and injury to senior vehicle occupants. It was found that the likelihood of an accident resulting in a fatality increased: 2.2 times for the driver seat, 2.7 times for the front passenger seat, and even 6.7 times for the rear seat. A mandatory seatbelt law to be extended to the rear seat needs to pass the assembly as soon as possible, and government, industry, and safety groups should be encouraged to join forces to strongly carry out targeted campaigns for the wearing of seatbelts in all vehicle seats to enhance the safety of senior occupants as well as other occupants who are vulnerable to road traffic accidents.

The KN-12 spent nuclear fuel (SNF) transport cask is designed for transportation of up to 12 assemblies and is in standby status for being licensed in accordance with Korea Atomic Energy Act. To evaluate radiation shielding and criticality safety of the KN-12 cask, each case of study was carried out using MCNP4B Code. MCNP code is verified by performing benchmark calculation for the KSC-4 SNF cask designed in 1989. As a result of radiation safety evaluation for the KN-12 cask, calculated dose rates always satisfied the standards at the cask surface, at 2m from the surface in normal transport condition, and at 1 m from the surface in hypothetical accident condition. Maximum dose rate was always arisen on the side of the cask. For normal transport condition, photons primarily contribute to dose rate between two kinds of released sources, neutrons and photons, from spent nuclear fuel but for hypothetical accident condition, contrary case was resulted. The level of calculated dose rate was 27.8% of the limit at the cask surface, 89.3% at 2 m from the cask surface, and 25.1% at 1 m from the cask surface. For criticality analysis, keff resulting from the criticality analysis considering the condition of optimum partial flooding with fresh water is 0.89708(0.00065. The results confirm the standards recommended by all regulations on radiation safety.

Unattended Train operation(UTO) requires higher safety target than other systems, since all train operations are automatic. The system provider to deliver without accident or failure, and the operator to transport passengers without accident by putting all trains supplied, including them, into service. Safety rates without such failures can be represented as indicators of RAMS, among which availability is continuously controllable to achieve the target, with a clear target. Availability is often required by the licensee from the initial stage of the project to demonstrate that the request for proposal (RFP) is usually specified and to maintain separate availability targets at the operational stage. In particular, unlike unmanned operation light rail in complex systems, simple formulas are often presented to facilitate verification at each stage. This paper presents this method of usability calculation in an integrated manner at all levels and analyzes the existing usability values to ensure reliability of the availability formula for integrated use in unmanned light rail systems.

본 연구에서는 서울시 자치구(행정구역) 중심의 거시적 사고예측모형을 개발하였다. 사고예측모형 개발과정에서 서울시 전체를 하나의 모형식으로 개발하지 않고 지역 토지이용(개발밀도)과 교통사고빈도와의 관계를 분석하여 토지이용 유형에 따른 사고예측모형을 개발하였다. 토지이용과 교통사고빈도와의 관계에서 개발밀도(연상면적)가 높을수록 교통사고빈도가 높게 나타나는 상관성을 파악하였으며 주거연상면적, 상업연상면적, 업무연상면적 모두 교통사고와 반응하는 특징이 다름을 확인할 수 있었다. 총 4개의 유형구분이 가능하였으며 각 유형에 대한 지역특성과 사고특성을 살펴보았다. 4개 유형의 모형에 반영된 설명변수는 공통변수와 각 유형별로 상이한 특성변수가 도출되어 지역적 특성이 모형에 반영된 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 사회 경제적 변수로는 통행을 유발 유입시키는 교통활동을 대변할 수 있는 변수가 채택되었으며 교통여건 변수로는 교통시설 및 안전과 관련된 변수가 채택되었다.

If industrial safety statistics are analyzed, among the total of 2,114 dead people from industrial disasters in 2011, construction workers took 29.4% with 621. The construction industry makes a lot of efforts to reduce the death toll. However, since the measures are not from the analysis of root causes but from superficial countermeasure plans near general matters, it is in a situation that the actual effectiveness is marginal. Therefore, in this paper, improvement measures were intended to be prepared in order to reduce accidents, by inspecting safety control systems of target companies with high accident rates among major construction firms and extracting overall problems of them.

The number of big traffic accident cases of pedestrian death appeared to be minor, however compared to death rate in car to car accidents is very high and quite a few of the pedestrian death rates among all traffic accidents are counted to be almost 40%. Previous pedestrian safety studies were mostly aimed at reducing the degree of pedestrian injuries from a vehicle to pedestrian collision, and less at preventing a collision itself. This research was conducted with a method of using road facilities to prevent vehicles from rushing into the sidewalk. This research used one of the collision analyzing programs, called PC-Crash to simulate the vehicle rushing into the sidewalk. Based on the program, it could derive an optimal safe zone location where the pedestrian can wait for the pedestrian light safely. Also, changing road facilities such as pedestrian light pillars or signal controllers can widen 440% compared to the present safe zone. Accordingly, researchers have to consider a method to analyze and apply pedestrian safe zones along with road facilities location when designing a road.

Each year, it seems inevitable that major accidents will occur on construction sites. Industrial accidents, sometimes involving foreign laborers, have been constantly increasing. Construction laborers have higher hazard rates and higher work intensity than other industries, which means that they experience more job stress, as a result of the subcontracting structure. Therefore, this study performed an influence factor analysis on job stress and its relevance to industrial accidents involving Korean and foreign construction laborers, and proposed its effectiveness with the job stress and construction accident management measures based on the results of those. A questionnaire to measure job stress was performed targeting Korean and foreign laborers, and the results were analyzed. The results of this study can be utilized as important reference materials in efforts to reduce the job stress of foreign laborers on construction sites, and can be expected to contribute to preventing construction accidents related to job stress in the future.

Proportion of falling from height accident at construction work accounts for more than 40%, and the number of injuries is getting increased. So without considering falling from height, we can say that it's hard to achieve our goal(accident prevention). Another critical point that we have to think about theses days is the fact that construction workers are getting older. To be specific, the number of workers who are above 50 years old accounts for 65.6% among the fatalities(2007~2011, KOSHA inspection). Accordingly, to effectively prevent construction accedents, especially falls from height, we need to focus on motion analysis of older construction workers and then make suitable measures for growing accident rates at construction work.

선박, 항해기술 발달과 더불어 안전에 대한 교육 및 법제 강화에도 불구하고 해양사고는 지속적으로 발생하여 큰 피해를 주고 있다. 사고가 발생하면 생명, 재산 그리고 환경적 재해가 수반하게 되므로 예방활동이 강조되고 그를 위한 정책적, 교육적, 법제적 노력에도 예방성과는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 예방활동의 동기와 성과를 촉진하고 체계적인 안전관리를 위한 시각적이고 정량적인 지수를 개발하여 선순환적인 예방문화를 구축하고자 선박사고 예방지수(PISA)와 예방수준(PLSA)을 개념화하고 정량화하였다. 선박사고 예방지수를 설계하기 위하여 지난 5년(2009~2013)간 국내에서 발생한 사고통계 자료를 4개 영역, 즉 교육, 기술, 단속, 정보영역으로 구조화하고 예방요소와 인자를 추출함으로써 지수를 정의하였다. 정의된 지수 산정에 필요한 평가모듈을 설계하였으며, 설계된 모듈을 이용하여 화물선, 여객선, 유조선, 예선, 어선을 대상으로 지수를 측정하였다. 측정된 선박사고 예방지수 결과를 통계적, 사례적으로 위험성(Risk)과의 상관관계를 분석하여 유용성을 확인하였다. 제안된 선박사고 예방지수를 인증제도 등에 활용함으로써 선박별 맞춤형 성과기반 예방활동은 물론 예방중심의 안전문화 촉진과 선박사고 저감효과가 기대된다.
