The purpose of this study is to analyze traffic accident reduction effect of the introduction of motorcycle safety inspection. To analyze the effect of motorcycle inspection, we first estimate the number of defective motorcycles, and calculate the probability of accident occurrences caused by the defect using four year traffic accident data. Finally, we estimate the number of reduced accidents due to the introduction of the inspection and the total reduced accident cost. In this study, we analyzed three scenarios. It is analyzed that when the safety inspection system is applied to all motorcycles, 642 cases of traffic accidents and 325 million won per year of traffic accident costs are reduced. It is approximately 0.1% of 2014 total traffic accident cost of 26.5725 trillion won per year. It suggests that the cost of traffic accidents and traffic accidents due to vehicle factors are reduced when the safety inspection system is introduced.

교통사고는 인적피해, 물적피해, 사회적피해와 거시적으로는 심리적 피해까지 일으키며 많은 비용을 발생시킨다. 이처럼 교통사고로 인해 발생하는 다양한 피해요소를 비용으로 환산하여 추정하는 것은 교통안전사업의 절감편익을 산정하거나 기타 교통관련사업의 효과를 적용하기 위하여 활용할 수 있다. 하지만 현재까지 이루어진 사고비용 산출에 대한 연구론은 1당사자와 2당사자 구분없이 사고 전체를 아우르는 피해비용을 산출하는 방식의 접근 방법과, 사상자 1인 기준으로 발생되는 피해비용을 산출하는 방식의 접근 방법으로 나뉘며, 두 접근방법 모두 비용분석의 대상을 단일 객체로 간주하고 분석하는 한계를 지니고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 특정한 상호작용효과가 있을 것으로 예상되는 고연령 구간을 확인한 뒤 고연령 구간과 전체 연령 구간 사이에서 발생된 사고를 비교분석하여 1당사자와 2당사자가 모두 고연령 구간일 때 추가로 발생되는 사고비용을 산출 및 검정함으로서 고령자 사고감소효과 및 절감편익에 활용될 수 있는 상호작용 효과에 따른 추가 절감편익을 산출하였다.

아시아의 도시교통사고는 빠른 인구증가와 경제성장으로 인한 자동차 보급 확대로 인해 OECD 국가에 비해 2${\sim}$3배 높은 수준으로 교통사고절감을 위한 대안 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 이에 본고에서는 ITS기반 도로교통 안전시스템의 정착을 통해서 아시아 도시의 공통된 교통안전문제를 해소하기 위한 공동대응방안을 제시하고 있다. 이를 요약하면, 첫째, 도로사고와 ITS관계를 규명하고 사고요인을 도로상에서 제거할 수 있는 ITS기술을 소개하였다. 교통사고원인의 95%가 운전자관련인자로 나타나 운전자관련 ITS요소기술(HMI 등)의 개발이 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 현재 도로 안전분야에서 적용 가능한 실용기술로는 돌발상황관리시스템, 충돌경고시스템, 비상연락시스템, 단속시스템 등인 것으로 판단된다. 둘째, ITS기반 도로교통 안전시스템의 조기 정착을 위해서는 기존 조직 법 제도의 정비가 필요하다. 아시아 도시에서는 ITS 도입 초기 정부주도형으로 추진하는 것이 바람직한데, 이를 위해서는 정부조직 내 ITS 전담기구 (Headquarter)를 신설하고, 도로안전 ITS관련 법령 및 ITS Master Plan에 근거한 권한과 사업, 예산을 확보해야한다. 또한 인프라 및 ITS 구축 운영과 함께 RSA(Road Safety Audit)와 같은 선진안전제도 시스템을 벤치마킹하여 국내 현실에 맞도록 접목시켜 나가야한다. 셋째, 교통관제 (광역)정보센터, 버스센터, 구간속도단속 등 혁신적인 도로안전사업을 지속적으로 발굴 확충하여 노하우를 축적해야 한다. 넷째, 아시아 도시의 공통된 교통문제를 해소하기 위한 공동대응방안을 마련하기 위하여 각국의 노하우를 전파하고 공유하는 창구로 아시아 태평양지역 ITS포럼을 더욱 육성해야 하겠다.

Korea's traffic congestion costs including other social costs due to accidents, environmental pollution and increased demand is increasing every year. In this regard, direction of government policy was geared toward suppression of vehicle demand and activation of public transportation, which is determined to be the best solution with limited supply of infrastructure such as road facilities. This study aims to implement public transport bus-only Head-Up Display (hereafter called HUD) technology which displays public transport information required for a bus driver on the front glass of a bus. The public transport bus-only HUD not only prevents gaze dispersion of bus drivers but also helps to reduce the heavy workload of bus drivers by providing information required for driving. Ultimately, the final research purpose is a reduction of bus traffic accidents by 50% caused by negligence in keeping eyes forward or sideways.

As the link between traffic accidents and social and economic losses has been confirmed, there is a growing interest in developing safety policies based on crash data and a need for countermeasures to reduce severe crash outcomes such as severe injuries and fatalities. In this study, we select Daejeon city where the relative proportion of fatal crashes is high, as a case study region and focus on the severity of pedestrian crashes. After a series of data manipulation process, we run machine learning algorithms for the optimal model selection and variable identification. Of nine algorithms applied, AdaBoost and Random Forest (ensemble based ones) outperform others in terms of performance metrics. Based on the results, we identify major influential factors (i.e., the age of pedestrian as 70s or 20s, pedestrian crossing) on pedestrian crashes in Daejeon, and suggest them as measures for reducing severe outcomes.

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between traffic accidents occurring at trumpet interchange ramps according to accident type as well as the relevant factors that led to the traffic accidents, such as geometric design elements and traffic volumes. In the process of analysis of the distribution of traffic accidents, negative binomial distribution was selected as the most appropriate model. Negative binomial regression models were developed for total trumpet interchange ramps, direct ramps, loop ramps and semi-direct ramps based on the negative binomial distribution. Based upon several statistical diagnostics of the difference between observed accidents and predicted accidents with four previously developed models, the fit proved to be reasonable. Understanding of statistically significant variables in the developed model will enable designers to increase efficiency in terms of road operations and the development of traffic accident prevention policies in accordance with road design features.

Environmental Impact is getting more attention in many feasibility studies for railroad-related projects and research items. For sustainable growth and green transportation, the benefits typically used for feasibility studies in railway-related projects, are composed mostly of economic criterions which is not considering growing attention on changing paradigm. Based on the analysis of current methodologies, improvements in estimating environmental impact especially on noise and pollution are suggested.
