There is a lot of loss of life due to natural disasters. In particular, flood damage caused by heavy rainfall in urban areas causes serious damage. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a study on the optimal evacuation route for safe evacuation of urban areas. We set up a methodology by reviewing Flo-2D model and A* algorithm. A Flo-2D model was used to derive the hazardous area, and we selected the starting points with many people and suggested ways to select safe evacuation sites. And the route was derived from the starting point to the safe evacuation point by using the A * algorithm. This study could be used not only for evacuation route but also for road maintenance and evacuation facilities.

The rapid economic growth in Korea raised the increase of transportation demands about the passengers and the goods, and caused the concentration on cities. By the rise of a nation's income level, a automobile is necessary in our modern life. However, the traffic delays and traffic accidents that are raised by automobiles decrease the evaluation about a nation's economy and then the government practices the traffic safety improvement project. In this study, by performing the improvement project, we expect to achieve the following objectives. First, this study analyses the degree of effectiveness whether or not success in the improvement. Second, to supply the data on the effectiveness of the improvement and to inform the necessity of improvement. Third, to supply the information on the improvement project to the parties concerned. In this paper, through the study about identification of high accident locations, the effectiveness for the number of accidents and accident rates before-after the improvement is analyzed. Also, the B/C analysis about this locations is performed. This study shows that the number of accident and accident rates are decreased after the improvement, and there is economic validity about improvement of high accident locations.

The skid proof pavement is used for safety driving on curved bridges and high level roads. This study analyzed the effect of skid proof pavement on the bridge using actual spot test and computer analysis. In the actual spot test, the natural frequency and dynamic deflection of steel box girder bridges were measured before and after skid proof pavement. Likewise, in the computer analysis, the dynamic response of the finite element model was evaluated. The model was based on real steel box girder bridge according to the skid proof pavement. The analyzed results provide basic data on the effect of skid proof pavement on road structure.

This study dealt with dynamic characteristics by real car crash simulation of composite support structures for road facilities. The effects of different material properties of composites for various car crash speeds are studied using the LS-DYNA finite element program for this study. In this study, the existing finite element analysis of steel support structures using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study dynamic behaviors of the support structures made of various composite materials. Based on the passenger safety assessment, the numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different models with internal energy occurred in the support and car.

The Korea National Police Agency launched a campaign to encourage drivers in stop line observance and to discourage stop line violation by intensively imposing fines. It was to increase stop line observance of drivers and thus traffic safety. According to statistics, the stop line observance rate was increased over 80 % of drivers during the campaign but regressed to the past after the campaign. This paper delivers the effect of the location of traffic signal lights on driver's stop line observance and develops a guideline to improve highway traffic environment in long terms. Statistical tests conducted based on field data showed that the drivers' stop line observance increases when traffic signal lights are closely installed from a stop line. It was proposed from the study that traffic signal lights be installed $10{\sim}20m$ from a stop line.

There are several high technologies applied to the driving cars such as self-driving car and connected car for safe and convenient driving. VANET provides useful information such as route selection and gas price by communicating nearby cars and RSUs. VANET prefers CCN rather than traditional TCP/IP stack because CCN offers inherent multicast communication for sharing traffic information as well as traditional unicast. When all participating node rebroadcasts the Interest packets in a Vehicular CCN, the network may suffer from Broadcast Storm Problem. In order to mitigate the effect of the problem and to improve the Data packet transmission, not all but some selected nodes have to rebroadcast the packet. This paper simulates car movements using SUMO and evaluates data transmission performance using ns-3. According to the simulation results, when some selected nodes rebroadcast the Interest packets, the transmission performance improves 10% to 25% depending on the number of requesting nodes.

Crash cushions are protective devices that prevent errant vehicles from impacting on fixed objects. This function is accomplished by gradually decelerating a vehicle to a safe stop in a relatively short distance. Commonly used crash cushions generally employ one of two concepts to accomplish this function. The first concept involves the absorption of the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle by crushable or plastically deformable materials and the other one involves the transfer of the momentum of a moving vehicle to an expendable mass of material located in the vehicle's path. Crash cushions using the first concept are generally referred to as compression crash cushions and crash cushions using the other concept are generally referred to as inertial crash cushion. The objective of this research is the development of a compression-type crash cushion by employing the two concepts simultaneously. To minimize the number of full-scale crash tests for the development of the crash cushion, preliminary design guide considering inertial and frictional energy absorption was constructed and computer simulation was performed. LS-DYNA program, which is most widely used to analyze roadside safety features, was used for the computer simulation. The developed crash cushion satisfied the safety evaluation criteria for various impact conditions of CC2 performance level in the Korean design guide.

Automated vehicles rely on information collected through sensors to drive. Therefore, the uncertainty of the information collected from a sensor is an important to address. To this end, research is conducted in the field of road and traffic to solve the uncertainty of these sensors through infrastructure or facilities. Therefore, this study developed a traffic cone that can maintaing the gaze guidance function in the construction site by securing sufficient LiDAR detection performance even in rainy conditions and verified its improvement effect through demonstration. Two types of cones were manufactured, a cross-type and a flat-type, to increase the reflective performance compared to an existing cone. The demonstration confirms that the flat-type traffic cone has better detection performance than an existing cone, even in 50 mm/h rainfall, which affects a driver's field of vision. In addition, it was confirmed that the detection level on a clear day was maintained at the 20 mm/h rain for both cones. In the future, improvement measures should be developed so that the traffic cones, that can improve the safety of automated driving, can be applied.
