It is mandatory to use car seats for infants and children in the private vehicles in accordance with the traffic law of Korea. Recently, legislation has also been proposed to expand the use car seats to express and intercity buses. This reflects a growing consensus that mandatory infant and child car seats, both for private and commercial vehicles, are essential. However, Korean laws concerning infants and children on board aircraft allow parents or guardians to hold children under two years of age on their laps without any restraint devices. It is not possible for a parent to physically restrain an infant or child, especially during a sudden acceleration or deceleration, unanticipated or severe turbulence, or impact. The use of CRS provides an equivalent level of safety to infants and children as that afforded to adult passengers wearing seat belts. But there is no regulation even about Child Restraint Systems on board aircraft in Korea. To enhance their safety, infants and children should be restrained in an approved child restraint system that is appropriate to their weight and height. It is necessary to examine whether infants and children in flight can achieve the same level of safety as an adult.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause (70%) of children injury and fatality. 98% of Children under the age of 9 who came to emergency room with a traffic accident are not seated in CRS. Reduction in mortality when using CRS (NHTSA study), 71% for infants of 1-2 years old, 54% for 3-6 years old and 7-12 years old. It is very important and essential to use CRS for child passenger safety. But in Korean market, the CRS fitment rate is relatively low (20~40%). For European market, at the start of 2013, Euro NCAP started to check how easy it is to install the most common seats. And US market, NHTSA is planning a new consumer information program of CRS fitment for near future. This study examines CRS installation performance of 3 vehicles which are produced by GM Korea and 21 CRS which are based on sales volume in Korean market. Purpose of this study is to identify both vehicle and CRS design that causes bad interaction for CRS installation.

Traffic accident involved with the vulnerable pedestrian is one of the significant concerns, which has higher possibility of fatality than any other accident types. Worldwide significant efforts have been made to establish a vehicle safety regulation, which is internationally agreed, in order to reduce pedestrian casualties in pedestrian-vehicle collisions. One of the key issues in deriving the regulation is how to effectively select the parameter values associated with the regulation. This study firstly develops a method to optimize parameter values. An optimizing problem in terms of maximizing safety benefits, which are life-saving effects by the regulation, is formulated. Extensive actual accident data analysis and simulations are conducted to establish several statistical models to be used in the proposed optimization procedure. A set of parameter values that can produce maximizing life-saving effects is presented as the outcome of this study. It is expected that the proposed method would play a significant role in determining parameters as a decision support tool toward ensuring better pedestrian safety.

Recently, the driver can be assisted by the advanced active safety devices such as ADAS from road traffic risks. With this system, driver and passenger may freed from can driving tasks or kept eyes on forward direction while on the road. Help from adoptive cruise control, auto parking and newly develped automated driving vehicles technologies, the driver positions will vary significantly from the current standard driver position during the travel time. On this hypothesis, the objective of this study is analyze the behavior and injuries of drivers in the event of frontal impact under these abnormal driver position. Based on the KNCAP frontal impact testing method, this simulation matrix was set-up with dummies of 5 th tile female Hybrid III dummy and 50 th tile male Hybrid III dummy. The small sedan type passenger car was modeled in this simulation. The series of simulation was performed to compare the injuries and behaviour of each dummy, varying the seating status and seat position of each dummy.

Rockfall and landslide bring about a great social loss with loss of property such as obstruction of traffic and damage of the crops as well as casualty. The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile equipment for local risk factors detecting of road slope. The mobile equipment is designed to receive the sensing data from the measurement sensors, which are installed to detect the dangerous signs from the slopes, as loaded on a vehicle which is moving around to the places where the sensors are installed. In general, more than one mandatory data logger, which is very expensive, must be installed at each slope for the automatic measuring system, but in case of this developmental system, the inexpensive routine measurement can be performed regardless of the number of slopes due to the single unit of information gathering vehicle. This study is going to develop technologies that are expected to be applied to not only slope but also tunnel and bridges which might have the partial risk and need measuring.

Bicycle shares road with various traffic elements like car, pedestrian and, the number of bicycle user is increasing in recent. Therefore, bicycle accident continuously increases. Especially in complex traffic environment, bicycle accident which collides with moving object such as pedestrian occupies many parts of bicycle accident in the reason that the cyclist does not recognize moving object. In this paper, to reduce or avoid the bicycle accident, we propose the architecture of bicycle collision avoidance system in which that cyclist can get the information about moving object by connecting bicycle to network of vehicles and does some action for avoiding collision. In our architecture, when traffic element such as car recognizes moving object, it decides the moving direction of object, and transfers information about moving direction via vehicles network. Bicycle collision avoidance system from our proposed architecture receives this information, and alerts to cyclist when the moving object influences the safety of bicycle.

Recent developments in information and communication technology has enabled the deployment of sensor based data to provide real-time services. In Korea, The Korea Transportation Safety Authority is collecting driving information of all commercial vehicles through a fitted digital tachograph (DTG). This information gathered using DTG can be utilized in various ways in the field of transportation. Notably in autonomous driving, the real-time analysis of this information can be used to prevent or respond to dangerous driving behavior. However, there is a limit to processing a large amount of data at a level suitable for real-time services using a traditional database system. In particular, due to a such technical problem, the processing of large quantity of traffic big data for real-time commercial vehicle operation information analysis has never been attempted in Korea. In order to solve this problem, this study optimized the new database server system and confirmed that a real-time service is possible. It is expected that the constructed database system will be used to secure base data needed to establish digital twin and autonomous driving environments.

Due to the spread of high-definition black boxes and the introduction of mobile applications such as 'Smart Citizens Report' and 'Safety Report', the number of public interest reports for violations of Traffic Law has increased rapidly, resulting in shortage of police personnel to handle them. In this paper, we describe the development of a system that can automatically detect lane violations which account for the largest proportion of public interest reporting videos for violations of traffic laws, using deep learning algorithms. In this study, a method for recognizing a vehicle and a solid line object using a YOLO model and a Lanenet model, a method for tracking an object individually using a deep sort algorithm, and a method for detecting lane change violations by recognizing the overlapping range of a vehicle object's bounding box and a solid line object are described. Using this system, it is expected that the shortage of police personnel in charge will be resolved.

In order to reduce maritime accidents and promote maritime safety and the happiness of the sea people, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has been providing Intelligent Maritime Traffic Information services to the public from the end of January 2021. Various information is generated and collected through this service, and research and development is underway to develop and verify a service algorithm by applying the collected information to data science to realize a safer and more efficient intelligent maritime traffic information service. In order to develop and implement this, a data pipeline system that connects the collected and stored data and can access, use, and store data from multiple systems smoothly is required. Therefore, in this study, a data pipeline that can be used in various systems such as a datascience based service algorithm development environment and an intelligent maritime transportation service test-bed was designed.
