This study intends to build a traffic accident predictive model considering road geometrics, traffic and enviromental characteristics and identify the relationship of 4-legs intersection accidents in Seoul and Busan metropolitan area. The RPNB(Random Parameter Negative Binomial) model shows improvement over the fixed NB(Negative Binomial) and out of 53 variables, 10 variables (main road number of lane, main road vehicle traffic volume(left), minor road vehicle traffic volume(right), main road drive restriction, minor road sight distance, minor road median strip, minor road speed limit, minor road speed restriction) showed to have significant variables affecting traffic accident occurrences in 4-legs signilized intersections. Also, among 10 significant variables, 2 variables(minor road sight distance, minor road speed restriction) found to be random parameters.

It is important to know pedestrian volume to carry out pedestrian safety analysis and pedestrian friendly design. However, it is too difficult to come across research work related to pedestrian volume analysis in the field of transport, due to lack of interests on pedestrian movement. Most transport research has been focused on vehicles and highways rather than pedestrian. On the other hand, in the field of urban studies, there comes an effective tool to estimate pedestrian volumes using Space Syntax theory. This theory twins out to be effective and economic because it only requires network information, which is easy to acquire from maps and field survey. However, this method is different in the way representing networks from the way that is common in the field of transport. To make up for this point, this paper develops a novel measure for estimating pedestrian volume using Dial's algorithm, and applies the model in the two test networks; Insadong and Soongryemoon networks. The application results reveals that developed measure is an effective tool to explain pedestrian volume; a correlation coefficient between the measure and pedestrian volume is 0.713 in Insadong and 0.492 in Soongryemoon, and the goodness of fit($R^2$) of regression models are 0.893 in Insadong and 0.671 in Soongryemoon. This estimation method is significantly less complicated to estimate the effect of a pedestrian network change than Space Syntax theory, which requires special softwares not readily available.

Gamcheon harbor was developed as a multipurpose port to mix processing functions of exclusive piers for bulk cargo such as marine products, domestic cargoes. Since the container terminal was opened in 1997, maximum $40,000\sim50,000$ DWT containership have been incoming and outgoing. However, bemuse the breakwater entrance in Gamcheon harbor is narrow and the crossed vessels are ever-present at breakwater front, marine accident danger is high that grasping traffic characteristics is required in reply. Therefore marine traffic characteristics were analyzed for Gamcheon harbor and Gamcheon approaching waters, included the track and traffic volumes of peak hours period in inbound/outbound and front sea area of the harbor in present.

국가경제의 기반시설인 지역간 고속도로와는 달리 도시고속도로는 도시내 교통을 담당하는 교통시설로서 대부분의 도시에서 건설중이거나 운용 중에 있다. 연속류 도로라는 시설측면을 지역간 고속도로와 비슷하나 이용주체, 차량구성비, 정시성, 제한속도 등 그 성격에는 다소 차이가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이런 이유에서 현재 도시고속도로의 계획이나 운영에 대한 지침이 지역간 고속도로의 계획 및 운영에 대한 지침과 동일시 되고 있다는 점은 불합리한 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 도시고속도로의 계획과 운영에 대한 지침을 마련하기 위해 현재 운영중인 대구신천대로를 대상으로 교통류특성 등 기초적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과를 간략하게 나타내면 다음과 같다. . 교통류 모형분석에서 기존의 Greenshield 모형이 설명력 90%이상을 나타냈다. . 승용차환산계수 분석에서 중형차량이 1.16, 대형차량이 1.47로 분석되었다. . 용량분석에서 최대관측교통량은 4,684pcphpl, 차두시간분석은 2,432pcphpl, 교통류 모형에서는 2,422pcphpl로 분석되어, 대구신천대로의 서비스용량은 2,300pcphpl에 가까운 것으로 판단되며, 차로폭, 측방여유폭에 따른 보정으로 이상적 조건에서의 용량은 약 2,400pcphpl로 분석되었다. 이 결과는 도시고속도로가 지역간 고속도로의 기본교통용량 2,200pcphpl보다 약 200대 정도 높을 것으로 추정된다.

This paper proposes drivers' rational belief formation under a bounded traffic environment. This is to escape the criticism that excessive rationality (e.g., a driver's calculating ability and memory capacity) is required of drivers. Under bounded traffic environments. drivers do not have structural knowledge of traffic conditions and others' decisions. Simulations are carried out using a program coded in C. Consequently, the author found the learning process of drivers and the value of information can be differentiated by route conditions and the characteristics of driver groups. Also, it was found that rational drivers form different beliefs about traffic conditions even though they have the same traffic environment in a bounded traffic environment.

Mobile sources are one of the most significant contributors to the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG). The administration in Korea has set a goal of cutting GHG emissions of vehicles by 34.3% compared to Business As Usual (BAU) by 2020. To achieve this goal, GHG emission standards for vehicles have been applied since 2012, and now light-duty trucks are under consideration to be included to the vehicle types that will be regulated in the new version of GHG emission standards. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing characteristics of exhaust GHGs (CO2, CH4, and N2O) emissions of diesel light-duty trucks according to their various driving modes. GHGs emissions of diesel light-duty trucks reduced in inverse proportion to the speed of the vehicles. GHGs emissions from the combined mode were 8% and 14% lower than those from the CVS- 75 and NEDC modes, respectively.

세계 교역량이 증대되면서 해상 교통량은 계속 증가하고 있으며, 후발공업국에서는 새로운 항만의 건조가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 우리나라의 경우에도 연안공업단지의 개발과 서해안 개발의 일관으로 기존 항만의 확충은 물론 신항만 건설이 추진되고 있다. 그러나 항만내 계류된 선박의 운동특성을 밝히는 이론이 아직 정립되어 있지 못하여 이에 대한 연구가 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다.(중략)

This paper represents a comparison the difference between existence and nonexistence of soundproof trees for road traffic noise. Also we suggested that the simple equation has been derived using a single regression analysis for predicting levels of $Leq_{th}$ at a given distance from a road in terms of the flow rate, the mean speed of the traffic, and the percentage of the type vehicles in the existence and nonexistence of soundproof trees. We classified a vehicle into four and analyzed contribution rate to traffic volume. As a result, the order showed as followed: light vehicle>medium vehicle>heavy vehicle>motorcycle. However, the results of analyzing contribution rate with between traffic volume and traffic noise by the each type showed as followed; Motorcycle>Light vehicle>Medium vehicle>Heavy vehicle. This study showed that the most a lof of traffic volumes of the three vehicles(light vehicle, medium vehicle and motorcycle) and heavy vehicle were existed in 67 km/h and 61 km/h of car speed, respectively. The total traffic noise to the mean car speed decreased because of the inflow a lot of traffic volumes between 2016 and 2388 in the range of 67 km/h of light vehicle speed, in traffic composition of 4.75% heavy vehicles, and 1.11% motorcycle. the final result for this study showed that statistical paired t-test for between existence and nonexistence of soundproof trees was significant(p<0.05) and the difference between daytime and night in the location of the nonexistence of plant communities with the independent sample T-test was significant(p<0.05). However, the independent sample T-test for analyzing the variance of traffic noise between daytime and night was not significant(p>0.05).

휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds; 이하 VOCs라 함)은 도시대기 중 광화학 스모그의 기인자인 동시에 발암성 혹은 돌연변이원성인 인체에 유해한 물질들이 많으므로 최근 들어 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이러한 VOCs의 발생원은 복잡ㆍ다양하지만 인위적인 주요 배출원은 유기용제와 자동차이다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 배출가스의 영향을 많이 밭고 있는 도시교통밀집지역의 VOCs의 출현양상 및 분포특성을 파악하고 도시교통밀집지역과 교통량의 영향을 비교적 적게 받는 교외 지역에서의 VOCs 분포특성을 비교해 보고자 한다.
