交通死亡事故의 效率的 減少方案에 관한 硏究

Abstract

In modern society,the automobile has become a convenient device of social life. Also, the automobile industry has developed enough to become the backbone of a national industry, making Korea among the top 5 car manufacturers. We can say it is a golden age of the automobile. However, as the sense of security and traffic order has not advanced along with the technological development and the gap between the increasing number of automobiles and the improvement of the traffic environment like roads maintenance is getting more widen, we are facing critical situation such as traffic congestion, parking problem, traffic accidents and pollution. Especially, the cost of traffic accidents in Jeju was over 0.4 billion and nationally 154.2 billion in 2007 alone. With this problem in mind, in this study, I tried to explain the cause of the accidents by collecting the statistics data, examples of foreign countries and published material from 2005 to 2007 and classifying them into human factors, automobile factors and environmental factors. Then the efficient way to reduce traffic accidents was considered. The result is as the following. Firstly, the accidents of car to person are shown higher than those of car to car in human factors. When these results more segmented, the accidents were happening more often when pedestrians cross the cross walk or jaywalk. Therefore, we need to strengthen the sense of security and boost the will of observing traffic laws among drivers and pedestrians. As for children, we need to promote a law-abiding spirit in their daily lives and educate them about the traffic rules in practical way. Also, we need to change the way of supervising law-breaking behavior into rigid punishments, even for a minor violation. Secondly, the traffic accidents by automobiles were shown to be 233.3% higher in farm machines, 19.8% in vans than in other provinces. By the number of fatal accidents according to the purposes of a car, 300% were in rental cars, 233.3% in chartered buses, and 39.1% in taxis. This result shows the accidents in Jeju are closely connected to the fact Jeju is an urban agricultural and tourism city. Consequently, we need to strengthen the customized education for drivers in the sector of agriculture and tourism service. Also, we should create the culture of considering young children and the elderly and showing courtesy to other drivers. Thirdly, traffic accidents by environmental factors were shown to be most frequent between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. and between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. when most people commute. By month, they were shown to be higher in January by as much as 54% and in October by 37.3%. To reduce the accidents, we need to provide the differentiated traffic services which reflect the image of Jeju as a tourism site by improving the color and texture of the protecting equipment, such as the lights for crosswalks, traffic lights, and protection fence in frequent accidents area.
