Abstract

The automobiles in Korea have approximately 60 years of history and this is relatively short compared to advanced countries. However, considering the traffic accident rate or severity related to automobiles, various efforts are required to reduce traffic accidents. Various problems caused by traffic accidents are not only related to individual damages but also have become social problems. In order to resolve this, it is important to analyze the cause of traffic accidents. This study aims to suggest methods to reduce traffic accidents by analyzing driving behavior, which is one of the reasons for a number of traffic accidents that were collected through traffic accident videos reported using DVRs (Driving Video Recorder) and were aired to the public via a SBS TV program for the past two years and four months. In particular, unlike other existing studies that aim at analyzing the causes of traffic accidents simply using data, this study constructed a database by analyzing every single DVR that stores the situation before and after the accident using relatively high-resolution video information to provide practical plans to reduce traffic accidents through statistical analysis.

우리나라 자동차의 역사는 약 60년 정도로 주요 선진국에 비해 자동차의 역사는 짧지만 자동차와 연관되어 일어나는 교통사고의 발생률이나 심각도를 고려한다면 교통사고를 줄이기 위한 여러 가지 노력이 절실히 필요하다. 따라서 교통사고로 인해 발생되는 여러 가지 문제는 단순 개인의 피해를 넘어 사회적 문제로서 대두되고 있으므로 이를 해소하기 위해 교통사고 원인을 분석하는 작업은 무엇보다도 중요하다. 본 연구는 최근 2년 4개월간 SBS 방송 프로그램에서 일반 대중을 대상으로 방송한 차량용 영상기록장치(DVR, Driving Video Recorder) 제보 교통사고 영상을 통해 수집된 다양한 교통사고의 원인 중 하나인 운전자의 행태를 중심으로 분석하여, 교통사고 발생을 감소시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이 연구는 교통사고 원인을 단순 데이터 중심으로 분석하고자 하는 기존의 논문과는 달리 다양한 센싱 정보와 비교적 고해상도의 영상정보 수집 내용을 바탕으로 교통사고 발생 시점 전후의 상황을 명확히 저장하고 있는 차량용 영상기록장치 영상을 개별적으로 일일이 직접 분석한 결과로 데이터베이스를 구축하여 이에 대한 통계학적 분석을 통해 실효성 있는 교통사고 감소 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.
