Abstract

This paper develops pedestrian fatality models capable of producing the probability of pedestrian fatality in collision between vehicles and pedestrians. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) and binary logistic regression (BLR) ave employed in modeling pedestrian fatality pedestrian age, vehicle type, and collision speed obtained from reconstructing collected accidents are used as independent variables in fatality models. One of the nice features of this study is that an iterative sampling technique is used to construct various training and test datasets for the purpose of better performance comparison Statistical comparison considering the variation of model Performances is conducted. The results show that the PNN-based fatality model outperforms the BLR-based model. The models developed in this study that allow us to predict the pedestrian fatality would be useful tools for supporting the derivation of various safety Policies and technologies to enhance Pedestrian safety.

본 논문에서는 보행-차량 충돌사고 시 보행자 사망 여부를 확률적으로 예측할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 베이지안 신경망을 적용하여 보행자 사망확률모형을 개발하고, 로지스틱 회귀분석 기법 기반의 모형과 예측력을 비교하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 개별 교통사고 자료를 수집하였으며, 교통사고 재현을 통해 사고 당시의 충돌속도를 추정하여 보행자 연령, 차종과 함께 모형의 독립변수로 사용하였다. 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 모형개발을 위해 반복적 샘플링기법을 적용하여, 다양한 학습자료 및 테스트 자료를 구성하고 모형의 성능을 평가하였다 본 연구를 통해 개발된 모형은 보행자 보호를 위한 첨단차량기술 개발, 제한속도의 설정 등 다양한 정책 및 관련기술의 개발을 지원하는 유용한 도구로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
