Korea's transportation paradigm is shifting from a vehicle-oriented transportation plan to a pedestrian-friendly environment that emphasizes walking safety. However, the level of pedestrian traffic accidents in Korea is still high and serious. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting the severity of pedestrians traffic accidents using the multilevel logistic regression model based on 2015-2017 pedestrian accidents data provided by the Traffic Accident Analysis System(TAAS). The main results of the multilevel logistic regression model showed that 89% of pedestrian traffic accidents in Seoul were explained by individual characteristics such as drivers and pedestrians, and 11% were explained by neighborhood environmental characteristics. The results are as follows : In the individual characteristics such as pedestrians and drivers, the older the pedestrians and the drivers, the higher the traffic accident severity. The severity of traffic accidents was high when the pedestrians were female and the drivers were male. In the case of accident types, traffic accidents were more serious in the cases of heavy vehicles, inclement weather, and occurring at intersections and crosswalks. The results of the neighborhood environmental characteristics are as follows. The intersection density and the crosswalk density tended to reduce the severity of traffic accidents. On the other hand, the traffic light density and the school zones were founded to related to the higher level of traffic accident severity. This study suggests that both individual and neighborhood environmental characteristics should be considered together to prevent and reduce the severity of pedestrian traffic accidents.

교통사고에 가장 취약한 도로는 이면도로 비신호교차로이며, 이들 취약지점에 AI 및 엣지 컴퓨팅 융합 기술을 적용하여 교통사고를 예방하고자 하는 시도가 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 현장 데이터를 활용하여 AI 및 엣지컴퓨팅 기술이 어떻게 교통사고 감소에 영향을 미칠 수 있고 한계가 무엇인지 교통공학적 측면에서 분석하였다. AI 객체인식으로 20m 후방에서 객체정보를 취득함으로써 운전자는 약 3.6초의 대응시간을 확보하게 되고, 엣지기술에 의해 0.5~0.8초만에 정보가 표출되어 운전자는 교차로 상황에 대응할 수 있는 시간을 얻게 된다. 또한, 교차로 접근로 10m지점에서는 11~12km, 20m지점에서는 20km/h 수준으로 속도관리가 이루어질 때 교차로 진입 전 정지가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 이들 시스템 도입 후 실증 교차로의 데이터를 Taylor 모형에 적용하면 교통사고 확률이 약 40% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로 높은 AI 기술의 높은 객체인식률, 엣지기술의 실시간 정보제공 그리고 교차로 접근로의 적정 속도관리가 함께 이루어질 때 교통사고 감소가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: Objective of this study is to provide characteristics of injury frequency and severity by driving condition in large truck-related traffic collisions. Background: Traffic accidents involving large trucks draw a lot of attention in accident prevention and management policies since they bring about severe human and financial damages. Method: In order to identify the major risk factors of accidents by driving condition, 255 recognized traffic accidents by large truck drivers were analyzed in terms of time of the day, road type, and shape of the road. Results: The driving conditions in the results are represented by the following form of combination, "Road Type (Non-expressway or Express) - Shape of Roads (Straight, Curved, Downhill, or Intersection) - Time of Accidents (Day or Night)". In the analysis of injury frequency, Non-expressway-Straight-Day condition was the most frequent one. Meanwhile, Expressway-Curved-Day, Non-expressway-Curved-Night and Non-expressway-Intersection-Night were evaluated as high level in view of injury severity. Also, Expressway-Straight-Night is the driving condition that is the highest in risk among the conditions that have to be managed as grade "High". Non-expressway-Straight-Night, Non-expressway-Downhill-Day, and Non-expressway-Curved-Day are also categorized as grade "High". Conclusion and Application: Safety managers in the fields require basic information on accident prevention that can be easily understood. The research findings will serve as a practical guideline for establishing preventive measures for traffic accidents.

교차로에서의 교통사고건수는 90년 이후로 계속 증가해오고 있는 추세이므로 교차로의 안전성을 증가시키기 위한 노력이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 신호 교차로의 도로조건, 교통조건 교통운영조건 등을 분석하여 안전성에 방해가 되는 요소들을 찾아내고, 그 요소들과 사고와의 상관관계를 이용하여 각 교차로의 안전을 평가할 수 있는 사고예측모형을 개발하였다. 또한 이 교차로사고예측모형은 사전에 위험요소들을 처리하여 적절한 교통안전 정책을 세우도록 방향을 제시하고, 교차로의 안전성을 높이려는데 목적이 있다. 교차로 내의 사고건수는 2001년 1월부터 2001년 12월까지 1년 간의 원주시 교차로 사고건수 자료를 수집하였고, 각 교차로들의 도로조건, 교통조건, 교통운영조건은 현장 조사하여 수집하였다. 수집한 자료들을 1차 통계 분석한 결과 사고와 상관관계가 높게 나타나는 요소들로는 지역유형, 토지이용, 버스정차활동, 노상 주 정차 활동 전체교통량, 회전 교통량, 차로수, 도로폭, 교차로 면적, 주기, 시거, 회전반경 등으로 나타났다. 또한 위의 요소들을 가지고 2차 상관 분석한 결과 유의확률이 95%이상 만족하고, 각각의 독립변수들 간의 상관관계가 적어 사고율에 영향을 주는 변수로는 차로수, 회전반경, 시거, 주기가 선택되었다. 따라서 위의 요소들로 각 요소들의 분포현황에 알맞은 교통 사고예측 모형 식을 만들고, 일반적인 선형회귀모형과의 정확도를 비교하였다. 또한 국내 사고통계를 이용하여 사고건수의 분포도를 분석한 후 교차로의 위험 수준을 단계별로 분류하였다. 마지막으로 모형의 타당성을 검토하기 위해 Spearman 순위상관계수에 적용하였더니 결정계수 값이 0.985로 매우 유의 하다는 것과 모형식에서 구해진 각 교차로별 위험 순위도가 거의 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 실제사고건 수와 예측사고건수를 본 연구에서 분류한 위험수준으로 비교한 결과 교차로의 80%가 위험수준이 같다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.다는 일반적인 명령과 개별적인 행정행위를 구분하고 명령에 대하여도 취소소송의 대상으로 삼도록 하는 보다 명확하고 일관성 있는 논의전개를 제안하였다.수 있었다.로 첨가하여 48시간 배양한 후 암항원 유전자 발현성을 측정한 결과 세포주에 따라 다소 차이는 있으나 대개 0.2 uM농도에서도 유전자 발현이 유도되었으며 1, 5 uM농도에서 매우 강하게 유도되었다. ADC 처리가 페암세포주의 MHC와 B7 발현을 증가시키는가를 알아보기 위해 1 uM 농도의 ADC를 72시간 처치한 후 FACS 분석을 실시한 결과 4개의 페암세포주에서 MHC 및 B7분자의 발현은 유도되지 않았다. 또 ADC농도가 세포성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 ADC를 0.2, 1, 5 uM농도로 96시간 처치 후 세포수를 측정하여 상대성장지수를 알아본 결과 ADC 처치 농도가 증가함에 따라 세포의 성장은 매우 감소하였다. 결론: 폐암세포주에서 ADC처치는 MAGE, GAGE 및 NY-ESO-1과 같은 세포독성 T 림프구 반응을 유도할 수 있는 암항원의 발현을 증가시킬 수 있으며, ADC의 세포독성과 항원 발현 유발시간을 분석할 때 1 uM 농도에서 48시간 처치한 후 ADC가 없는 배지에서 수일간 배양하는 것이 가장 효과적이라고 생각된다. 그러나, ADC를 처치하여도 MHC 및 B7의 발현의 변화는 없었으므로 ADC를 처치한 폐암세포를 암백신으로 사용하기 위해서는 MHC나 B7 및 cytokine의 발현을 증가시키는 추가적인 처치가 필요하다고 생각된다.ded.한 질소제거를 N-balance로부터 구해보면, R3 반응조의 경우가 가장 높은 제거율(40.9%)을 보였다. 이상의 결과들을 볼 때, Bncillus 균주는 호기적 탈질을 일으킬 수 있는 가능성이 있고, Bncillus 균주를 이용한 B3 공정은 탈질에 이용되는 탄소량이 거의 없고, 적은 alkalinity 소모에 의한 경제적 이익 등 장점을 가진 공정으로 보여 진다.수록 푹신한

Current methods for evaluating unsignalized intersections, and estimating level-of-service (LOS) is determined from efficiency-based criteria such as little or no delay to very long delays. At present, similar procedures to evaluate intersections using safety-based criteria do not exist. The improvement of sight distances at intersections is the most effective way of improving intersection safety. However, a set of procedures is necessary to account for the limitations in current methodology. Such an approach would build upon such methods, but also account for: deficiencies in the current deterministic solution for the determination of intersection sight distances; opportunity for an accident and severity of an accident; and cost-effectiveness of attaining various levels of sight distances. In this research, a model that estimates the degree of safety at two-way stop-controlled intersections is described. Only crossing maneuvers are considered in this study because accidents caused by the crossing maneuvers are the dominate type among intersection accidents. Monte Carlo methods are used to estimate the hazard at an intersection as a function of roadway features and traffic conditions. Driver`s minimum gap acceptance in the crossing vehicles and headway distribution on the major road are used in the crossing vehicles and headway distribution on the major road are used in the model to simulate the real intersectional maneuvers. Other random variables addressed in the model are: traffic speeds; preception-reaction times of both drivers in the crossing vehicles and drivers in oncoming vehicles on the major road; and vehicles on the major roads. The developed model produces the total number of conflicts per year per vehicle and total potential kinetic energy per year per vehicle dissipated during conflicts as measurements of safety at intersections. Based on the results from the developed simulation model, desirable sight distances for various speeds were determined as 350 feet, 450 feet and 550 feet for 40 mph, 50 mph and 60 mph prevailing speed on the major road, respectively. These values are seven to eight percent less than those values recommended by AASHTO. A safety based level-of-service (LOS) is also developed using the results of the simulation model. When the total number of conflicts per vehicle is less than 0.05 at an intersection, the LOS of the intersection is `A' and when the total number of conflicts per vehicle is larger than 0.25 at an intersection, the LOS is `F'. Similarly, when the total hazard per vehicle is less than 350, 000 1b-ft2/sec2, the LOS is `F'. Once evaluation of the current safety at the intersection is complete, a sensitivity analysis can be done by changing one or more input parameters. This will estimate the benefit in terms of time and budget of hazard reduction based upon improving geometric and traffic characteristics at the intersection. This method will also enable traffic engineers in local governments to generate a priority list of intersection improvement projects.

본 연구는 고속도로 교차점의 유형과 교통사고와의 관계를 다루고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 교통사고가 교차점의 유형과 기하구조 설계요소에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있다는 가설을 검증하는데 있다. 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, JCT와 IC 그리고 트럼펫 IC와 기타 유형의 IC 간의 사고 비교는 의미를 갖지 못하지만, 트럼펫 IC의 네 가지 유형별 차이는 의미가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 즉 BO 형태의 트럼펫 IC는 타 형태의 트럼펫 IC보다 월등히 많은 교통사고를 나타내고 있다. 둘째, 가설검정을 통해 본선과의 교차각은 가능한 직각으로 설계하고 연결로 교통량이 많지 않은 한 1차로로 설계하는 것이 바람직하다고 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 장래 고속도로의 설계에서 보다 안전한 인터체인지의 유형결정과 기하구조 설계에 반영될 수 있는 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 도로 안전 측면에서 가능한 BO 형태의 인터체인지는 도입하지 않고, 교차각을 $90^{\circ}$가 되도록 설계하되, 인터체인지의 경우 연결로 교통량이 아주 많지 않다면 1차로로 설계하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.

This study deals with the traffic accidents by weather condition. The objectives are to comparatively analyze the characteristics, and to develop the models of traffic accidents by weather condition. In pursuing the above, this paper gives particular attentions to testing the differences between two groups, and developing the models(Poisson and negative binomial regression) using the data of domestic circular intersections. The main results are as follows. First, three Poisson models and one negative binomial models which were all statistically significant were developed using the number of accident and EPDO by the clear weather and other as the dependant variables. Second, the differences between two models were comparatively analyzed using the chosen variables. This paper might be expected to give some implications to traffic safety policy-making to reduce and prevent the traffic accidents in circular intersections.

This study deals with the traffic accident of truck at circular intersection. The purpose of this study is to develop the truck accident models based on type of accident and conflict. In pursuing the above, the study gives particular attentions to selecting the appropriate models among Poisson and Negative binomial models using statistical program LIMDEP 8.0. The traffic accident data from 2007 to 2014 are collected from TAAS data set of Road Traffic Authority. Such the dependent variable as number of truck accidents and the 24 independent variables as geometry, traffic volume and others are used. The main results are as follows. First, 5 Poisson models (${\rho}^2$ of 0.164~0.351) which are all statistically significant are selected. Second, the common variable based on type of accident and conflict is analyzed to be truck apron width. The specific variables are, however, evaluated to splitter island, area of splitter island, speed limit sign, truck apron, number approach road, circular intersection sign, speed hump and traffic volume. Finally, widening the truck apron width and improving the above specific variables are analyzed to be important for truck accident reduction at circular intersections.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to develop models of accidents occurring at circular intersections related to the time of day and night and driver gender, and to provide countermeasures for safer circular intersections. METHODS : Seventy intersections built before 2008 were surveyed for inclusion in the modeling. Traffic accident data from 2008 to 2014 were collected from the TAAS data set of the Road Traffic Authority. Sixteen variables explaining the accidents including geometry and traffic volume were selected from the literature and seven multiple linear regression models were developed using SPSS 20.0. RESULTS : First, the null hypotheses, that the number of traffic accidents are not related to driver gender or time of day, were rejected at a 5% level of significance. Second, seven statistically significant accident models with $R^2$ value of 0.643-0.890 were developed. Third, in daytime models by gender, when the right-turn-only lane was selected as the common variable, the number of lanes, presence of driveways and speed humps, diagrammatic exit destination sign, and total entering traffic volume were evaluated as specific variables. Finally, in nighttime models by gender, when the diagrammatic exit destination sign was selected as the common variable, total entering traffic volume, presence of right-turn-only lanes, number of circulatory road way lanes, and presence of splitter islands and driveways were identified as specific variables. CONCLUSIONS:This study developed seven accident models and analyzed the common and specific variables by time of day and gender. The results suggest approaches to providing countermeasures for safer circular intersections.

PURPOSES : This study tries to develop the accident models of 4-legged signalized intersections in Busan Metropolitan city with random parameter in count model to understanding the factors mainly influencing on accident frequencies. METHODS : To develop the traffic accidents modeling, this study uses RP(random parameter) negative binomial model which enables to take account of heterogeneity in data. By using RP model, each intersection's specific geometry characteristics were considered. RESULTS : By comparing the both FP(fixed parameter) and RP modeling, it was confirmed the RP model has a little higher explanation power than the FP model. Out of 17 statistically significant variables, 4 variables including traffic volumes on minor roads, pedestrian crossing on major roads, and distance of pedestrian crossing on major/minor roads are derived as having random parameters. In addition, the marginal effect and elasticity of variables are analyzed to understand the variables'impact on the likelihood of accident occurrences. CONCLUSIONS : This study shows that the uses of RP is better fitted to the accident data since each observations'specific characteristics could be considered. Thus, the methods which could consider the heterogeneity of data is recommended to analyze the relationship between accidents and affecting factors(for example, traffic safety facilities or geometrics in signalized 4-legged intersections).
