Abstract

Understanding the relation between characteristics of an accident and its duration is crucial for the efficient response of accidents and the reduction of total delay caused by accidents. Thus the objective of this study is to model accident duration using an AFT metric model. Although the log-logistic and log-normal AFT models were selected based on the previous studies and statistical theory, the log-logistic model was better fitted. Since the AFT model is commonly used for the purpose of prediction, the estimated model can be also used for the prediction of duration on freeways as soon as the base accident information is reported. Therefore, the predicted information will be directly useful to make some decisions regarding the resources needed to clear accident and dispatch crews as well as will lead to less traffic congestion and much saving the injured.

교통사고의 특성과 사고에 대한 지속시간 사이의 관계에 대한 이해는 사고의 효과적인 대응과 사고에 의한 혼잡을 감소시키는데 핵심 요소가 된다. 때문에 본 연구의 목적은 AFT metric 모형을 적용한 사고 지속시간을 분석하는 것이다. 비록 로그 로지스틱 및 로그 정규 AFT 모형이 통계적 이론과 기존 연구 사례를 기반으로 선정되었으나, 로그 로지스틱 모형이 보다 우수하게 추정되었다. AFT 모형은 예측 목적으로도 널리 사용되기 때문에, 추정된 모형은 사고 발생시 사고 관련 기본 정보 접수 즉시 고속도에서의 사고 지속시간 예측에 사용될 수 있다. 결과적으로, 예측된 사고 지속시간 정보는 사고를 처리하기 위한 제반 의사 결정에 도움을 줄 뿐 아니라 교통 혼잡의 감소 및 추가 사상자의 감소로 그 효과가 이어질 것으로 판단된다.
