93% of road traffic accidents result from drivers' fault and Korea has the largest number of deaths from traffic accidents among the OECD members. For this reason, the country is measuring Traffic Culture Index (TCI) in each city, gun and gu annually to improve traffic safety policies and promote safety consciousness, but the influencing relation between TCI and actual traffic accidents is only based on the assumptions and no verification has been carried out, yet. Therefore, this study aims to verify if in reality, TCI represents the traffic culture level and has an influencing relation with traffic accidents and to suggest an improvement plan of research on the present state of TCI, based on the result. For this purpose, bases on data of the report about the present state of TCI from 2010 to 2012, and the influencing relation between the number of traffic accidents and the number of deaths from traffic accidents was analyzed through structural equation model. For influencing relation analysis through structural equation, research 1 to analyze the relation among TCI in each city, gun and gu, the number of traffic accidents and the number of deaths, and research 2 to analyze the influencing relation of the increase in TCI, the number of traffic accidents and the number of deaths were carried out. When verifying the influencing relation with traffic accidents through structural equation, the goodness of fit of the model was low in research 1 and as TCI increased, the number of accidents and deaths decreased in research 2 and thus the effect of TCI was verified.

This study was conducted to derive the traffic accident risk index through the recognition of the elderly driver's driving pattern to reduce the traffic accident rate of elderly drivers and to reflect them in the renewal and return policy of driver's license accordingly. First, the traffic accident risk index is defined by analyzing the behavioral characteristics of older drivers to derive the major factors that lead to traffic accidents. Second, we present a method to measure the traffic accident risk index from the driving pattern of the elderly through the smart-phone, the camera and the distance sensor attached to the car. Finally, we derive three thresholds by computer simulation and determine the accident risk from the measured traffic accident risk index as four steps and suggest ways to ensure safe driving of older drivers. It is required to objectively assess the driving ability of an aged driver in accordance with the proposed method, and to induce the driver to reset the driver's license renewal cycle and voluntarily return the driver's license to minimize social costs due to increased traffic accidents.

우리는 복잡한 현상을 하나의 수치로 표현하는 각종 지표(index)를 생활에서 많이 접하고 있다. 종합주가 지수, 불쾌지수, 소비자 물가지수, 년간 교통사고 건수, 인구 10만명당 교통사고 사망자수 등도 일종의 지표라 할 수 있다. 철도에서도 위험을 평가하는 지표로는 "년간 사고건수", "열차운행 100만-km당 사고건수"와 같이 발생빈도에 초점을 둔 경우와 "년간 사망자수", 혹은 "피해액", "운행지장"과 같이 사고피해에 초점을 둔 경우가 있다. (중략)

A traffic accident analysis method was developed and tested based on the highway alignment risk indices using geographic information systems(GIS). Impacts of the highway alignment on traffic accidents have been identified by examining accidents occurred on different alignment conditions and by investigating traffic accident risk indices(TARI). Evaluative criteria are suggested using geometric design elements as an independent variable. Traffic accident rates were forecasted more realistically and objectively by considering the interaction between highway alignment factors and the design consistency. And traffic accident risk indices and risk ratings were suggested based on model estimation results and accident data. Finally, forecasting traffic accident rates, evaluating the level of risk and then visualizing information graphically were combined into one system called risk assessment system by means of GIS. This risk assessment system is expected to play a major role in designing four-lane highways and developing remedies for highway sections susceptible to traffic accidents.

This study discusses the effectiveness of safety management programs resulted from examining crash data collected during the period of implementation of the programs by a commercial transport company. For the analysis, two tye of comparison approaches are adopted: 1) a study comparing before-after of the implementation of a safety program, and 2) a study comparing a traffic accident index for various target groups. Technically, the effect of the safety management program is derived by eliminating both the 'regression to the mean' and the changing trend in the traffic accident index. The results show that safety management programs are effective to prevent traffic accidents, whereas company type appears irrelevant. The results also show that the effectiveness is significantly different depending on the intensity of safety management program and company size. In addition, a reciprocal effect is very likely to existamong the combination of these variables. This indicates that in order to improve the accident reduction effectiveness of such programs, the development and application of safety management programs based on both safety management strength and company size are required.

Korean government annually estimates and reports the traffic safety index to evaluate the traffic safety of 228 Gu Gun. However, since the traffic safety index is derived from the spatially macroscopic perspective based on collected relative data, there are a couple of problems such as inability to investigate the individual traffic accidents on the spot, insecurity of accuracy and reliability of traffic safety index estimation method, and absence of establishing temporal relationship of traffic accidents. Thus, this study investigated temporal traffic safety in macroscopic manner for Gu Gun in Busan depending on the installation of the traffic safety facility (i.e., urban median), employing meta analysis. As a result, all Gu Gun in Busan except Saha, Buk, Dong, and Busanjin experienced more traffic accidents after installing the urban median, indicating that there are more rooms for improvement of macroscopic traffic safety evaluation.

This study suggests strategies to prevent traffic accidents by utilizing impact factors per each cluster and the typical patterns of 81 cities based on the statistical analysis of the data concerning the TCI which was developed from the partnership of the Traffic Safety Authority and the Green Traffic Movement Corporation in 2002 and 2003. The Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis on impact factors and TCI result in 4 components and 4 clusters. Also as the results of Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis examining the relationship between impact factors and TCI, R2 values of these models show high to all clusters. According to the results, we suggest strategies to prevent traffic accidents per cluster concretely and it is necessary to analyze how effective the invested facilities are in reducing traffic accidents in the future.

하천 유량측정은 대부분의 업무가 야외에서 진행되기 때문에 사고위험에 항상 노출되어 있다. 특히. 교통, 수상안전 사고 등 사회적 안전사고에 대해서는 큰 노력을 기울여 대비하고 있으나, 폭염, 한파 등 자연적 안전사고에 대해서는 아직 대비가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 겨울철 한파로 인해 발생할 수 있는 안전사고를 예방하고자 한파위험지수(CWRI)를 PSR 구조체계를 통해 제안하였다, 압력, 상태, 반응 지수 산정을 위해 각 요인에 대한 세부지표를 선정하고, 각 지수에 대한 가중치는 엔트로피 방법을 이용하여 한파위험지수를 제안하였다. 그 결과, 전국 14개 광역시도 중 서울특별시가 가장 높고 경상남도가 가장 낮은 한파 위험지수를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 겨울철 유량측정 시 측정 인원에 대한 안전 계획을 수립하여 안전사고 예방 효과를 높일 것으로 판단된다.

교통사고의 주요 원인은 운전자의 부주의에서 유발되며운전자의 부주의는 운전환경에 대한 인 식의 결핍에서 유발되어진다. 따라서 교통환경에 대한 정보제공을 위하여 정량적 분석과 위험지 수의 제시가 필요된다. 본 연구는 위험지수 산출을 위한 시험작이라 할 수 있다. 위험지수를 산출하는데 필요한 기본적 자료수집과 분석과정을 보여주었으며, 위험지수 산출로직의 기초를 만드는데 주력하였다. 또한 그 응용에 대한 비젼을 제시를 하였다. 교통환경의 정량적 분석을 위하여 교통환경을 요인별로 나누어 요인분석법을 이용하였으며 분석 패키지로는 SAS 프로그램을 활용하였다. 위험지수는 요인 및 수준별로 분류한 후 각 분류에 따른 가중치에 의해서 주어지며 위험지수는 수치와 문자 및 막대그래프에 의해 표현하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 운전자에게 정량적 정보의 제공으로 운전상황에 대한 좀더 명확한 인식을 심어주고 또한 경각심을 고취시켜 안전운행 에 도움이 되도록 하였다.
