In this study, an analysis was conducted on internal and external factors related to fires in electric vehicles in order to improve the safety of electric vehicles against fire accidents. To conduct the analysis, field survey data conducted on actual electric vehicle fire accidents were used, and accident-related statistical data was used. Among them, as a result of analyzing the internal factors related to fire accidents in electric vehicles, it was confirmed that high-voltage batteries are an important factor in fire accidents caused by internal factors of electric vehicles. An analysis of external factors for fire accidents of electric vehicles was also conducted in this study. The largest number of electric vehicle accidents that occurred on public roads were mainly caused by physical external forces such as collisions. Therefore, strengthening the safety of this road infrastructure could be an additional solution to improve the fire safety of electric vehicles. As a result, based on car accident cases, two crash scenarios based on road infrastructure were derived, each of which simulates a high-speed frontal collision situation and a lower-end collision situation. Additionally, detailed test methods for these scenarios were developed.

In recent days, vehicles have become equipped with electric systems that assist and help drivers driving safe by reducing possible accidents. LDWS(Lane Departure Warning System) and LKAS(Lane Keeping Assistant System) are involved in assist systems, especially for lateral motion of vehicles. Sudden and inattentive lateral motion of vehicles due to drivers' fatigue, illness, inattention, and drowsiness are major causes of accidents in highway. LDWS and LKAS provide drivers with warnings or assisting power to reduce any possibilities of accidents. In order to prevent or minimize the possibilities of accidents, lateral motion control of vehicles has been introduced in this research. DGPS/RTK(Differential Global Positioning System/Real Time Kinematics) and GIS(Geographic Information System) have been used to obtain the current position of vehicles and decide when activate controlling lateral motion of vehicles. The presented lateral motion control has been validated with actual vehicle tests.

장래 국내외 자율주행 차량이 보급되면, 자율주행 차량의 사고 역시 발생 빈도가 늘어날 전망이다. 특히, 완전자율주행 자동차가 운행할 경우, 자동차의 사고 자체뿐만 아니라 운행 중 승객 간의 성폭력, 폭행, 사기 등 여러 가지 형사/민사상 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이 경우, 자율주행차량의 운행 사고와 차량 내 승객의 사고에 대한 포렌식 역시 변화할 전밍이다. 이 글은 자율주행차량의 보안 위협에 대한 유형, 블록체인 기술을 이용한 증거 데이터의 무결성 유지 방안, 디지털 포렌식의 연구를 고찰하였다. 이를 통해 블록체인 기술을 활용한 자율주행 차량에서 발생할 위협과 다양한 사고 유형 별 포렌식 기법 등을 시나리오식으로 기술할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 자율 주행 차량 대상 취약점, 공격에 대응하기 위한 국내외 웹사이트의 포렌식 보안 기술 조사 및 연구기관, 정보보안기업의 블록체인 보안 연구를 조사하여 사고 전/후 자율주행 차량의 포렌식을 돕는 블록체인 기법을 제안하였다.

This paper describes a cause of fire accidents on power system for DC electric traction vehicles. We investigated fire scene of power line for DC electric traction vehicles. From analysis results, the cause of fire on power line turned out line to ground fault between a feeder of electric power services(pantagraph) and DC electric traction vehicle roof. Fire accidents of DC electric traction vehicles be assumed that electric sparks had been produced between the pantagraph and the power line conductor by repetitively making contact and separation, maybe if some material like branches get in between connecting rod it make progress line to ground fault. ZnO arresters are widely used to protect DC electric traction vehicles against overvoltages caused by lightning or switching surges. However, the arresters are deteriorated by commercial frequency overvoltages and/or lightning one. Deteriorated arresters could lead power failures, such as line to ground fault by a thermal runaway resulting from the increases in leakage current even in a nominal power system voltage. The power failures, such as line to ground fault would be causative of the fire accidents.

PURPOSES : Climbing lanes on expressways managed by the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) have been hot potatoes due to conflicts between slow-moving vehicles such as trucks and other vehicles at the merging section as well as the less popularity with the slow-moving vehicles. In order to resolve such problems, KEC has altered existing climbing lanes to passing-type climbing lanes in 1999. The new type of climbing lanes showed an apparent improvement in mobility. For example, the speeds of vehicles using both climbing lane and other lanes improved a lot. However, there has been no clear evidence about improved safety. METHODS : This research effort was initiated to evaluate the safety of the new passing-type climbing lanes using the comparison-group(CG) method based on three-year-long traffic accident data sets before and after the change, respectively. RESULTS : The passing-type climbing lanes showed twice increased traffic accidents even though the traffic accidents on old type climbing lanes increased 1.1% during the same periods. In addition, in-depth study, the merging area of the passing-type climbing lanes was found out to be the weakest section where 43.8% traffic accidents out of total traffic accidents happened. It is noted that the merging area of the old type climbing showed only 25.0% traffic accidents. CONCLUSIONS : The new passing-type climbing lanes were found to be weak in terms of safety when compared with the old type climbing lanes. Especially, the merging area should be improved to reduce the risk of traffic conflicts between slow-moving vehicles and other vehicles.

본 연구는 고속도로 교통사고의 사고차량대수에 따른 요인의 영향을 분석하기 위해 다항로짓모형을 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 교통사고 심각도 연구에서는 사고차량대수에 대한 분석이 미흡하였다. 그러나 다중추돌사고는 인명피해 사고로 이어질 가능성이 높고, 사고 지속시간과 사고처리를 위한 사회적 비용이 크기 때문에, 다중추돌사고에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사고차량대수를 사고의 요인이 아닌 사고의 결과로 해석하고, 이에 미치는 사고요인별 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 야간사고와 고속도로 본선, 터널, 교량에서 발생한 사고, 운전자과실, 도로장애물, 노면문제로 인한 사고, 내리막 경사, 중차량 연관 사고가 다중추돌사고로 이어질 가능성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Ensuring the safe arrival of delivery cargo at its intended destination is of utmost importance. Truck drivers play a crucial role in guaranteeing the secure delivery of cargo without any mishaps. However, there are various factors that may lead to delayed arrival of trucks at their destination, such as late departures or prolonged loading operations. The timely departure of cargo transportation is contingent upon several variables, including the driver's experience, cargo volume, and loading time. If the transportation commencement is delayed, it may increase the risk of accidents due to an elevated operating speed. Consequently, we conducted a study to investigate the correlation between cargo loading time, cargo volume, driving experience, and the likelihood of accidents. Our findings indicate that both cargo volume and driver experience can impact the likelihood of vehicle accidents. Furthermore, all factors can have an interactive effect on the occurrence of accidents. However, extending the loading time may mitigate the impact on the likelihood of accidents.

자율주행자동차로 인해 기존의 교통사고 원인의 대부분을 차지하는 '운전자부주의'로 인한 교통사고가 크게 감소할 수 있지만, '트롤리 딜레마', 차량 결함, 도로 함몰 등과 같은 사고를 피할 수 없는 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 이 경우 사람과 같은 윤리적 선택이 필요해진다. 본 연구는 돌발적인 싱크홀이 발생하여 자율주행차가 교통사고를 피할 수 없는 상황을 가정하고, 자율주행자동차의 윤리적 선택에 따른 교통사고비용을 시뮬레이션 분석을 통해 추정하였다. 이 때 자율주행자동차는 (1) 탑승자의 안전을 최우선으로 하는 이기주의, (2) 인명피해를 최소화하는 의무론, (3) 사고비용을 최소화하는 공리주의의 3가지 윤리적 선택 중 한 가지를 선택하도록 하였다. 분석결과, 이기주의의 교통사고비용이 가장 높게 분석되었고, 인명피해를 최우선으로 하는 의무론의 교통사고비용이 가장 낮게 분석되었다.

사업용 자동차 교통사고 특성 분석(도로교통안전관리공단, 2007)에 따르면, 사업용 차량의 1만대 당 교통사고 발생률과 사망률이 비사업용 차량에 비해 각각 6.7배와 5.3배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 최근 10년 동안 전체 교통사고는 연평균 1.5% 감소한데 비하여, 사업용 차량의 교통사고는 연평균 2.0%씩 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 최근 10년 동안 사업용 차량 중 버스와 화물트럭의 교통사고 발생건수는 꾸준히 감소하였다. 그러나 택시의 교통사고 발생건수만은 연평균 5.6%씩 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 상황에서 심리성격 분석 기법인 Q분석을 통하여, 택시 운전자의 운전 성향별 특성을 파악하고, 운전 성향별 교통사고 저감대책을 마련하고자 하였다.

Recently, the number of traffic accidents on trunk roads tends to decrease due to the performance improvement of passenger vehicles. In the commuter rush hour of morning and evening, vehicles via residential road increases without going along trunk roads. Therefore, there are many traffic accidents of pedestrians (or bicycles) and vehicles on residential roads. In order to safeguard residents against traffic accidents, traffic calming devices (TCD), such as chicane, speed hump, and school zone, etc. have been introduced. Investigating these effects repeatedly is not easy since many times and efforts are required, such as observed at the place actually. In this paper, the effects of TCDs in residential areas, such as noise, speed, and emission of a vehicle, using Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) are examined. As a result, it is found that it is possible to reduce the speed of the vehicle by TCD, and the level of noise at the location behind TCD becomes higher than the level of noise at the location of TCD implemented.
