Abstract

It is important to secure the golden time of emergency vehicles for quick responses in disaster situations, such as fire, rescue, and first aid. This study proposes plans Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) based on the analysis of emergency vehicle operation to secure the golden time of emergency vehicles and increase driving safety. The emergency vehicle dispatch statistics, emergency vehicle traffic accident statistics, and survey were used for the analysis. As a result of the analysis, the frequency of dispatch of emergency vehicles and traffic accidents are increasing gradually, but the rate of securing the golden time of emergency vehicles is approximately half, indicating that improvement measures are urgent. In the questionnaire survey, most citizens consent to the necessity of introducing EVP. In addition, the criteria for the range of emergency vehicles that could provide EVP and the allowable time for waiting were derived. These results could be used to prepare EVP operation strategies, and it is expected to contribute to improving emergency vehicle operation safety and increasing the golden time securing rate through a rapid expansion of EVP.

화재, 구조, 구급 등 재난상황에서 신속한 대응을 위해 긴급차량의 골든타임 확보가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 긴급차량의 골든타임 확보와 운행 안전성 증대를 위하여 긴급차량 운행현황 분석에 기반한 긴급차량 우선신호 운영방안 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 긴급차량 출동 통계자료와 교통사고 통계를 이용하여 긴급차량 운영 현황을 분석하고 설문조사 분석을 통해 긴급차량 우선신호 도입 및 운영에 관한 세부기준을 제시하였다. 분석 결과, 긴급차량의 출동빈도와 교통사고가 점차적으로 증가하고 있으나, 긴급차량의 골든타임 확보율이 절반 수준인 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 개선방안 도출이 시급함을 확인하였다. 긴급차량 우선신호 도입에 관한 설문조사를 통해 우선신호 도입의 필요성에 대해 대다수의 시민이 공감하고 있고, 긴급차량 우선신호 제공 가능한 차량 범위와 신호 대기 허용 가능 시간에 대한 기준을 도출하였다. 이를 통해 긴급차량 우선신호 운영 전략과 세부 기준을 마련하는데 본 연구의 결과가 활용될 수 있으며, 긴급차량 우선신호의 신속한 확대를 통한 긴급차량 운행 안전성 개선과 골든타임 확보율 증대에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
