Car crashes are the leading cause of death for persons of every age. Specially, human-related factor has been known to be the primary causal factor of such crashes than vehicle-and environmental-related factors. There are various studies to analyze driver's behavior and characteristics in driving for reducing the car crashes in many areas of car engineering, psychology, human factor, etc. However, there are almost no studies which analyze mainly the human errors in driving and estimate their probabilities in terms of human reliability analysis. This study estimates the probability of human error in driving, i.e. driver error probability. First, fifty driver errors are investigated through DBQ (Driver Behavior Questionnaire) revision and the error likelihoods in driving are collected which are judged by skillful drivers using revised DBQ. Next, these likelihoods are converted into driver error probabilities using the results that verbal probabilistic expressions are changed into quantitative probabilities. Using these probabilities we can improve the warning effects on drivers by indicating their driving error likelihoods quantitatively. We can also expect the reduction effects of car accident through controlling especially dangerous error groups which have higher probabilities. Like these, the results of this study can be used as the primary materials of safety education on drivers.

ITS 기술의 발달에 따라 평균적으로 고속도로 8km마다 도로전광표지가 설치되어 운영중이다. 하지만 도로의 교통상황을 적절히 반영하지 못한 채, 기 설정된 정보를 일방적으로 표출하고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인해 한정된 시간 동안 운전자는 표출되는 정보를 모두 인지하지 못하거나, 자신이 원하는 정보가 표출되기 전에 도로전광표지를 지나감으로써 도로전광표지의 기능을 떨어뜨리고 신뢰성 저하를 가져오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교통류속도 등의 교통상황 및 인적요소를 고려한 도로전광표지 판독소요시간 및 거리 측정을 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 실제 주행환경을 모사할 수 있는 Winroad 패키지를 이용하여 실험환경을 구현하였으며 113명의 피실험자군을 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 대하여 회귀분석을 수행하였으며, 도로전광표지 메시지 판독소요시간 측정 모형을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 도로전광표지 판독소요시간 측정 모형을 이용하여 교통류 속도와 표출 메시지 정보량 등 교통상황과 인적요소를 반영한 메시지셋을 개발하는데 활용 될 수 있도록 한다.

Generally, it is well known that driving in tunnel imposes large burden to driver because of spatial constraint, limited visual field and so on. And such a burden of driver result in high accident occurrence. In this reason, studies dealing with features of driving and traffic flow in tunnel have been performed. However, information about characteristics of drivers and traffic in a very long tunnel is not accumulated yet. The purpose of this study is to identify the relations between tunnel length and burden of driver, driving patterns, traffic flow characteristics using the tunnel simulator that realizing various tunnel situations. For this, the tunnel simulation program was developed along 11km-length section. And biological data of 10 subjects gained from driving condition in simulation program was analyzed and compared with the result of real driving condition.

PURPOSES : This study analyzed the difference in a driver's workload between using a driving simulator and field driving in tunnel, highway. METHODS : Based on the literature review, it was found that a driver's workload could be quantified using biosignals. This study analyzed the biosignal data of 30 participants using data collected while they were using a driving simulator and during a field test involving tunnel driving. Relative energy parameter was used for biosignal analysis. RESULTS : The driver's workload was different between the driving simulator and field driving in tunnels, highway. Compared with the driving simulator test, the driver's workload exhibited high value in field driving. This result was significant at the 0.05 level. The same result was observed before the tunnel entrance section and 200 m after the entrance section. CONCLUSIONS : This study demonstrates the driving simulator effect that drivers feel safer and more comfortable using a driving simulator than during a field test. Future studies should be designed considering the result of this study, age, type of simulator, study site and so on.

현재 고속도로 도로표지의 글자 세로규격은 22~60cm로서 다양한 크기로 규정되어 있으나 글자 크기에 대한 산정근거를 찾을 수가 없고 운전자가 도로표지 정보를 정확하게 판독할 수 있는지 확인할 수가 없다. 운전면허시험에서 운전자가 갖추어야 할 시력은 0.5이상으로서 도로표지 글자크기도 운전자 최소시력인 0.5를 기준으로 설계되어져야 한다. 따라서, 최소시력 0.5의 운전자가 현행 도로표지 글자를 아무 문제없이 판독할 수 있는 지 검토가 필요하고 도로표지 글자크기를 결정할 수 있는 방법론 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 도로표지 글자 크기를 결정하는 방법론에 관한 연구로서 운전자 시각(시력), 제한속도, 행동판단시간, 편도차로수를 고려하여 시나리오를 설정하고 각 시나리오별 도로표지 글자크기를 결정하여 제시하였다. 고속도로 4차로 및 6차로 고속도로에서 행동판단시간 2.0초와 2.5초를 기준으로 시력 0.5인 운전자가 도로표지 글자를 효율적으로 판독하기 위해서는 글자크기 47 ~ 89cm 정도가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 고속도로 도로표지의 기존 글자크기는 운전자 최소시력을 기준으로 볼 때 작아서 판독하기가 어려운 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법론은 운전자 시력을 고려함으로써 도로표지 설계시 인적요인을 고려하였다는 점과 도로표지 글자 크기산정에 대한 근거를 제시하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.

The vehicle navigation system is developed for helping driver to retrieve driving information more easily and lastly. Navigation System informs driver many pieces of driving information - roadway structure and system, on-line traffic condition, the position of vehicle, route guidance, destination and other infor- mation service. As the style of information is diverse and the amount of information is large, driver may have mental and visual overload. The display of information can disturb the driver's attention and this can cause accidents. This state is caused by the defect of human-machine interactions. When the navigation system is designed, human factors - cognitive, judgment, operating -must be considered. The display style must be designed simply and easily, not to be obstacle of human - machine interface. In this study, outside- in view display style and inside-out view display style are compared each other. Tow factors are measured. One is cognitive factor-time of cognition on information that is displayed by screen display, cognition error rate. The other is image of screen display - subject's feeling about several styles of display, degree of subject's preference. The prototype of roadway is four kinds -Cross, T-cross and O-cross. Roadway display for test is taken from paper maps. Traffic condition display style, vehicle position display style and route guidance display style are taken from current display style. Traffic condition display style is symbol. vehicle position display style and route guidance display style are described as color and symbol. The test on screen display is implemented doing given tasks. Then the test is analyzed statistically. The result of test analysis gives the guideline to the designer for the map display of the vehicle navigation system.

The research on autonomous vehicle that expected to greatly reduce accidents by driver's mistakes is increasing in the development of technology. The purpose of this research is to identify the factor that affect trust in autonomous vehicles and analyze the requirements of the driver in autonomous vehicles environment. Therefore, in this study, we defined the information and functions provided by the autonomous vehicles through the investigation of the prior studies, conducted a questionnaire survey and focused group interview (FGI). The results show that competency, error management were important factors influencing trust in autonomous vehicles and identified that driver took safety related information as high priority in autonomous vehicle. Also, it was identified that driver prefer to perform the multimedia function in autonomous vehicle environment. The study is looking forward to be the reference data for design of advanced autonomous vehicle. It will contribute to the improvement of the convenience and satisfaction of the drivers.

An accurate diagnostic marker for detecting early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (eHCC) is clinically important, since early detection of HCC remarkably improves patient survival. From the integrative analysis of the transcriptome and clinicopathologic data of human multi-stage HCC tissues, we were able to identify barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BANF1), procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3 (PLOD3) and splicing factor 3b subunit 4 (SF3B4) as early HCC biomarkers which could be detected in precancerous lesions of HCC, with superior capabilities to diagnose eHCC compared to the currently popular HCC diagnostic biomarkers: GPC3, GS, and HSP70. We then showed that SF3B4 knockdown caused G1/S cell cycle arrest by recovering $p27^{kip1}$ and simultaneously suppressing cyclins, and CDKs in liver cancer cells. Notably, we demonstrated that aberrant SF3B4 overexpression altered the progress of splicing progress of the tumor suppressor gene, kruppel like factor 4 (KLF4), and resulted in non-functional skipped exon transcripts. This contributes to liver tumorigenesis via transcriptional inactivation of $p27^{kip1}$ and simultaneous activation of Slug genes. Our results suggest that SF3B4 indicates early-stage HCC in precancerous lesions, and also functions as an early-stage driver in the development of liver cancer.
