Personal mobility, which was used exclusively for leisure activities, has recently been used as a means of transportation, and it is expected to increase its role as the next generation transportation. Sales of personal mobility are increasing rapidly, but the problem is that traffic accidents are also increasing. In this study, human body injury caused by various collisions between electric wheel users and road users that occur on bicycle or pedestrian roads mainly used by personal mobility is analyzed through collision analysis and collision risk analysis. In the case of the collision accident for electric wheel, it is analyzed that the road users are more likely to be injured on the pedestrian road than the bicycle road. In addition, the head hit each other or fall and hit the floor caused severe head injury.

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).

본 연구는 비계층적 K-평균 군집분석을 이용하여 보행자사고와 토지이용특성에 따른 지방자치단체의 유형을 분류하고 유형별 보행자사고의 세부특성을 Mann-Whitney U검증과 Kruskal-Wallis 검증을 이용하여 분석한 다음 그 결과로부터 보행환경 조성사업에 대한 개선방안을 제안하였다. 지역은 행정시와 행정구를 제외한 기초지방자치단체를 기준으로 230개 시 군 구로 구분된다. 비계층적 K-평균 군집분석 결과 230개 지방자치단체는 유형 1-A(상업지가 상대적으로 우세한 도시형), 유형 1-B(주거지가 우세한 도시형), 유형 2(농촌형)로 분류되었으며, 지자체 유형별 보행자사고 차이 검증결과 9m 미만 생활형 도로의 보행자사고 발생율은 공통적으로 60% 이상으로 도시형에 비해 농촌형에서 발생할 비율이 더 높았다. 또한 유형별로 유형 1-B는 교차로 내 보행자사고 사상자수가 많고 횡단 중 사고 비율도 높은 반면 길가장자리구역 통행 중 보행자 사상자수 비율은 유형 2에 해당하는 농촌형이 가장 높았다.

OECD 국가 중 보행자 사망 비율이 가장 높은 대한민국은 보행자 중심으로 법령이 제정하면서 안전한 보행환경 개선을 위해 노력하고 있다. 이 연구는 노인 인구와 학원이 밀도가 높은 대구광역시를 대상으로 보행자 교통사고 클러스터를 포아송분포를 이용한 스캔통계량으로 파악하고자 한다. 어린이와 노인에 관한 교통사고의 대중 인식을 수집하여 워드클라우드로 살펴본 결과 어린이는 정부와 기업인의 캠페인을 중심으로 노출되고 있고, 노인은 사고감소를 위한 정책연구를 중심으로 노출되고 있었다. 어린이 보행자 교통사고의 상대적 위험성은 공단이 많은 평리·내당·용산동에서 높았고, 학원 밀집도가 높은 만촌·봉무·범어동에서 낮았다. 노인 보행자 교통사고의 상대적 위험성은 도심에 가까운 용산·죽전·두류·내당동에서 높았고, 범어·삼덕·팔공·봉무동에서 낮았다. 대구광역시 내당동과 용산동은 어린이와 노인 보행사고 위험성이 높아 보행 안전 취약지역으로 파악되었다. 이는 스캔통계량이 교통사고 위험 지역 탐색에 효과적임을 의미한다.

In vehicle to pedestrian accidents, cracks occur in the vehicle laminated glass due to impact of a pedestrian's head. In this study, FMH(Free Motion Headform) was used to experiment on and analyze the crack patterns on a vehicle laminated glass that collides with an adult headform at speeds of 20 km/h, 30 km/h, and 40 km/h, respectively. Applying the acquired experimental data and material property of the vehicle laminated glass to the structural analysis program LS-Dyna, we could develop the FE model of vehicle laminated glass similar to real vehicle laminated glass. We could estimate the head impact velocity and pedestrian's vehicle impact velocity using the Madymo program.

Pedestrians involved in traffic accidents manifest unique trajectory characteristics depending on the collision speed, vehicle configuration, and pedestrian postures. However, the existing analytical models for pedestrian movements do not fully include the rotational characteristics of the pedestrians because they assume a two dimensional parabolic trajectory. This faulty assumption in the development of these models limits their applicability and reliability This study investigated the pedestrians movement at collision by computer simulation. The simulations are carried out by using HADYMO, which is a special simulation software system for dynamic movement analysis. Vehicles and pedestrians are modeled and verified via real crash worthiness experiments. Simulations are performed for various collision speeds, vehicle configuration, and pedestrian postures. Since the simulation uses multi-body dynamics, It can express irregular phenomena of the bodies quite well. The results can be exploited for vehicle design and traffic accident reconstruction.

한국의 교통 패러다임이 차량 중심에서 보행 중심의 사회로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 보행자 안전 및 보행환경 개선의 관심 또한 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 한국의 교통안전 수준은 여전히 심각한 수준이다. 따라서 보행자 안전 및 보행환경을 개선하기 위한 노력이 절실한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 어린이 보호구역 내 안전한 보행환경을 조성하기 위해 교통사고분석시스템(TAAS)에서 제공하는 2013-2015년 차대사람 교통사고 데이터를 활용하여 어린이 보호구역 주변 근린환경과 보행자 교통사고와의 연관성을 지리정보시스템(GIS)와 공간계량분석을 통해 파악하였다. 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도로요인과 대중교통요인 모두 어린이 보호구역 내 보행자 교통사고에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 토지이용요인의 경우 주거지역, 상업지역, 공업지역 모두 보행자 교통사고에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 용도혼합도의 경우에는 보행자 교통사고 저감에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 개발밀도가 높은 경우에도 어린이 보호구역 내 보행자 교통사고에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Although automotive safety technologies have been developed steadily, the efforts for pedestrian protection still seems to be insufficient. In a car-pedestrian accident, the structures such as the engine under a hood, the lower part of a windshield and the A-pillar are the major causes of fatal pedestrian injuries. Recently, there have been several studies on the active safety system to reduce the pedestrian injuries. The safety system consists of an active hood lift system and a pedestrian airbag. In this research, the safety performance of the active hood lift system and the pedestrian airbag is investigated by using the finite element method. The finite element model of the system is set up based on the head impact test, and the impact analyses are performed. The necessity and the usefulness of the safety system are verified.

The type of pedestrian accident can be characterized by vehicular frontal shape and the height of pedestrian. The trajectory of pedestrian after collision by passenger car is different from that by bus due to vehicular frontal shape. The frontal shape of SUV vehicles is dissimilar to passenger car and bus. So, the trajectory and throw distance of pedestrian by SUV vehicles is not the same of passenger car and bus. In this paper, a series of pedestrian kinetic simulation were conducted to inspect the difference in throw distance between SUV vehicle and passenger car and bus by PC-CRASH that is the program for kinetic analysis of articulated body. From the results, if the height of pedestrian is taller than 1.70m, there is no difference in throw distance between SUV vehicle and passenger car, but if the height of pedestrian is about 1.55m throw distance of SUV vehicle is about 4m longer than that of passenger car at each impact speed. The throw distance of pedestrian by Bus is shorter than that of passenger car and SUV at each impact speed.

IHRA Pedestrian Working Group has investigated and analyzed the current status of pedestrian-vehicle accidents in IHRA member countries. According to the results, European countries and Japan are working on new regulations to improve passive pedestrian protection on passenger cars significantly. Although IHRA proposed pedestrian test procedures, which may provide a basis of technical regulations in the future, further research and development are necessary to refine the procedures. In order to prepare and satisfy the pedestrian protection requirements, domestic passenger vehicles also should be tested. Among various safety-related studies based on accident data analysis, dealing with pedestrian head injury would be considered one of the keen interests. In this study, the pedestrian headform impact test system is developed. The developed system will be useful to carry out validation study of the test procedures through actual tests using sample vehicles, and to explore the car feasibility level prior to the use of the test methods in legislation.
