  • This study introduces the areawide road safety improvement program, which was developed to overcome the weak points of conventional black spot improvement programs. The latter has been criticized in terms of that it can cause the problem of accident migration and that it prevents from identifying causes of road accident in the comprehensive scope. On the other hand, the areawide road safety improvement program can allow us to find the route or areas that have quite a number of road accidents with the common causes. Therefore, we can take countermeasures effectively in a different framework in this approach. This study explains in detail about the concept, procedures, and effects of areawide road safety improvement programs including the example. This study may contribute to bringing a new framework of road safety improvement program in Korea.

  • The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of road safety features by spatial scope Spot & Section-based safety Improvement project. Empirical data was collected from black-spot study of Jeonbuk and "Traffic Safety Improvement Project on National Highway 17". Evaluation model of effectiveness was developed by using Empirical Bayes (EB) method. And Relative Effectiveness was measured by Odds Ratio. The result indicates that Section-based safety improvement was $7.09{\sim}77.27%$ more effective than the spot-based. It means that section-based improvement projects should be expanded while considering the characteristics of the section in spot based improvement.

  • 교통사고가 중요한 사회 문제로 대두되어 정부는 교통안전대책의 실질적인 추진 방안으로 "교통사고 잦은 곳"과 "위험도로" 개선사업을 제시·시행하고 있다. 이에 "교통사고 잦은 곳" 개선사업은 추진현황에 따라 각 년도별 기본 개선계획의 평가 및 경제적 타당성에 대한 효과분석이 이루어지고 있다. "위험도로"'의 경우 모든 사업을 건설교통부 산하 국도유지사무소에서 진행을 하고 있으나, 광범위한 사업으로 인한 업무과중 및 개선사업비 조달 등의 문제로 개선된 현황의 체계적인 효과분석이 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 "위험도로" 개선사업에 대한 효과분석을 수행하여 보다 비용-효율적인 개선사업이 될 수 있는 기반을 마련하고자 한다. 이를 위해 전체 위험도로 구간 중에서 '광주국도유지사무소' 및 '순천국도유지사무소' 관할 구역 내의 "위험도로"로 선정(1995년)된 도로구간 중 1999년 이전에 도로개선공사가 완료된 후 현재 교통소통이 원활하게 진행되는 18개 도로구간을 연구 대상으로 선택하였다. 선택되어진 18개 구간에 대한 도로개선공사 전후의 교통사고건수 및 교통사고율을 효과척도로 삼고 각 사고에 대한 소요비용을 기준으로 경제성 평가를 실시하였다. 이를 근거로 "위험도로" 개선사업에 대한 타당성조사 및 효과분석을 실시한 결과 "위험도로" 개선사업의 타당성이 입증되었다. 연구 분석결과가 전라도 권역의 사업을 중심으로 진행되어져 전국적인 개선사업에 대한 대표성을 가지고 있다고 볼 수는 없으나, 체계적인 분석을 통한 개선사업의 효과를 구체화 할 수 있는 대안을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 더불어 공사 완료된 도로구간에 대한 상세한 공사비 내역과 다수의 개선방안별 자료가 갖추어지면 위험도로의 사고율과 개선방안별 상관관계를 관련 비용을 중심으로 도출함으로서 비용-효율적인 개선 방안을 제시할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 비용-효율적인 개선 방안을 기반으로 한 각각의 사업 투자우선 순위 결정방안에 관한 지속적 인 연구가 요망된다.

  • Road safety audit is the preventive enhancement strategy for safety. : it gets rid of beforehand the potential factor of a traffic accident in the stage of road planning and design and it evaluates the appropriation for road geometric structure or safety facility to prevent traffic accident in the stage of operation after the construction. Since this strategy is introduced to our country in the early 2000s, various projects have been processed and it was legislated recently. And now, the evaluation of past project for its continuation is needed. Therefore, in this study the evaluation of road safety audit on existing freeway is performed. The spatial extent of this study is Yong-dong line on which the safety treatment was executed in 2005 and 2006. And, the temporal range of this study is each 2-year of before and after from 2005 and 2006. The empirical bayes method of observational evaluation studies is applied to analyze. As a result, there is an effect of improvement on most of treated sections. But there is ineffective or negligible on some sections. Compared with the detail of treatment on each section, the effect of multiple or various treatments is good for that section. On the other hand, the section on which effect doesn't appear is the result of single or unimportant treatments. Throughout these results, the concrete analysis can be performed and the countermeasures designed for the section on which effect doesn't appear. Also it is used as reference to the future plan and direction of road safety audit on existing freeway.

  • Accident Black Spot Improvement Project is the representative road safety intervention to eliminate environmental risk factors on the roadway by installing road safety facilities. Although it is one of the main road safety projects in Korea, there has been a lack of effort analyzing the traffic accident reduction effects of this project. In this study, therefore, we selected 4,171 road black spots from 2004 to 2013 and investigated the traffic accident reduction effects of 5 road safety facilities by using "Comparison Group(C-G)" method. Through the analysis, it was found that the number of traffic accidents were lowered by 4.45% with traffic islands, 32.17% with road paved markers, and 24.13% with speed cameras, respectively. However, 0.61% with pedestrian fencing and 1.67% with skid resistant pavement were increased on the other hand. In addition, we also analyzed traffic accident reduction facilities' performance on specific types of collision mentioned in manual on road safety facilities by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It was shown that the number of bad weather traffic accidents were reduced by 52.96% with road paved markers, pedestrians accidents were reduced by 62.77% with pedestrian fencing and rear-end collisions were reduced by 26.00% with skid resistant pavement.

  • The number of traffic accidents at intersections has been increased over the past decade, and in 2014, accounted for 44% of the total traffic accidents. In addition, since most of road accident black spots include signalized intersections, the improvement of safety on signalized intersection is top priority for national road safety program in Korea. For the decision of most effective action plan for the safety of signalized intersection, this study conducted meta-analyses to assess the effects of various road safety facilities at signalized intersection on traffic accidents. We selected 19 articles regarding the prediction of traffic accidents at signalized intersection and calculated 34 individual effect sizes on 8 variables included in the articles. The results found that there was a statistically significant negative relationship between the occurrence of traffic accident and the presence of all of road safety facilities except an exclusive left turn bay. It shows that most of the road safety facilities could prevent traffic accidents, and intersection channelization has the most effective on the reduction of traffic accidents followed by left-turn acceleration lane, lightning, crosswalk, exclusive right-turn lane and median barrier.

  • Recently, the automobile industry is rapidly changing due to autonomous vehicles based on advanced ICT technology. As a result, studies related to autonomous vehicles have also been actively conducted. However, most studies are focusing on the autonomous driving technology so that the prediction of changes in road traffic safety and associated legal system due to the introduction of autonomous vehicles are lacking. The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement methods and priorities of road traffic safety projects according to the introduction of autonomous vehicles. As a result of the AHP analysis using the results of the questionnaire surveyed for autonomous driving car experts, it was analyzed that revision of the traffic safety inspection law and development of education system for autonomous driving motor drivers and operators should be given top priority.

  • The Government presented improvement plans such as "Traffic Accident Frequent Point" and "Hazardous Roads" to reduce traffic accidents on the increase after 1980s. In case of the hazardous roads, they are expressed by grades which are marked by geometric elements such as width, radius, grade. sight distance. and other environmental factors. As each business for improving roads goes by only focusing on improvement of geometric elements, excessive expense can be invested too much nowadays causing economical waste. Therefore, as improvement plans approached by economic access are needed, this paper shows the cost-effective improvement of the business to keep safety related to traffic accident and economical waste. The hazardous roads which authorized by Gwang-ju National Road Preservation Office of Construction and Transportation Ministry in 1995 for business for improvement of roads, were investigated before 1999. First of all, estimating traffic accident models are presented by using existed data statistically. The models help to maximize traffic accident decrease through control of the presented factor. Secondly, optimum construction cost of improvement is presented to prevent overcapitalization. However, this paper is limited because it was difficult to sort the data with various areas and to approach various ways.
