구조방정식을 활용한 회전교차로 통행 규칙 준수 여부 평가 = Assessment of Drivers’Compliance with Traffic Rules for Roundabouts Using a Structural Equation Modeling

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since the history of the South Korea roundabouts is short, there is a possibility that drivers’ awareness for the roundabouts (rules of the road, definition, location, etc.) is low, which may affect the compliance with traffic rules. Based on this assumption, the objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the awareness and the compliance of traffic rules for roundabouts using a structural equation modeling (SEM). To carry out this objective, an online survey was conducted for 526 drivers, who reside in Goyang, Korea, and an SEM was estimated based on the survey data. As a result, it is concluded that awareness of roundabout has a positive impact on the compliance of traffic rules. Additionally, the compliance is found to show a positive relationship with driving experience. Based on the analysis results, an affective approach through soft measures such as awareness campaigns and educations is recommended to effectively address and mitigate the negative issues induced by roundabouts.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

국내 회전교차로의 역사가 짧기 때문에 회전교차로에 대한 운전자들의 인지도(통행 규칙, 정의, 위치 등)가 낮을 가능성이 존재하며, 이는 통행규칙 준수에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 이러한 가정을 기반으로 본 연구는 구조방정식모형을 적용하여 회전교차로에 대한 인지도와 회전교차로 통행 규칙 준수 간의 관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 경기도 고양시에 거주하는 운전자 526명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 시행하였으며, 설문항목은 회전교차로 인지도, 운전 경력, 회전교차로 통행 규칙 준수 여부에 대한 내용이 포함되었다. 설문조사 내용은 구조방정식모형을 적용하여 분석하였으며, 분석 결과 회전교차로에 대한 인지도가 높을수록, 운전 경력이 높을수록 통행 규칙을 잘 준수하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과를 기반으로 회전교차로 도입으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 초기 부정적인 영향을 감소시키기 위한 이용자 교육 및 홍보방안을 제시하였다.
