지방부 신호교차로 안전성 판단을 위한 사고예측모형 개발 = Development of Traffic Accident Frequency Model for Evaluating Safety at Rural Signalized Intersections

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Even though accident frequencies in roadway segments have been decreasing since 2000, there has been increasing the number of vehicle crashes at intersections. Due to this increase, safety problems at intersection recently started to be regarded as significant issues. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of road conditions, traffic operational conditions, and other influencing condition on intersection safety. Then a traffic accident frequency prediction model to evaluate the safety at intersections was developed based on the correlations between influencing factors and vehicle crashes. In this research, critically significant factors affecting vehicle crashes at rural four-legs signalized intersections were investigated. It was found that Poisson regression was the best fit method to developing a accident frequency modeling using the collected data in this study. Through this study, it was concluded that exclusive left turn lane, crosswalk, posted speed, lighting, angle, and ADT are significant influencing factors on the intersection safety.

일반도로구간에서의 사고발생건수는 2000년부터 2006년까지 감소추세를 보이는 반면 교차로에서의 교통사고건수는 현재까지 꾸준하게 증가하고 있기 때문에 교차로에서의 안전성을 증대시키기 위한 노력이 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 신호교차로에서의 도로조건, 교통조건, 교통운영상의 조건 등을 분석하여 교차로의 설계 안전성을 저해시키는 요인들을 찾아내고, 그 요인들과 사고와의 상관관계를 이용하여 지방부 4지 신호교차로의 안전성 판단을 위한 사고예측모형을 개발하고자 한다. 또한 사전에 위험요소를 제거하여 교차로에서의 안전성 평가를 위한 가이드라인을 제시함으로써, 교차로에서의 안전성을 높이는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 교차로에서의 사고분석을 위하여 비선형 회귀분석을 통해 사고모형을 개발하였고, 이러한 모형들을 이용하여 차대차 사고에 영향을 미치는 주요 설명변수들에 대한 분석을 시도하였다. 모형분석결과, 포아송회귀분석(Poisson Regression)이 모형개발에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 사고에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 좌회전 전용차로, 횡단보도, 제한속도, 조명시설, 교차각, ADT 등으로 분석되었다.
