Abstract
This paper analyzed the characteristics of traffic accidents in all tunnels on nationwide freeways and selected some various independent variables related to accident occurrence in tunnels. The study aims to develop reliable accident forecasting models using the various dependent variables such as the number of accident (no.), no./km, and no./MVK. Finally, reliable multiple linear regression models were proposed in this paper. This study tested the validity verification of developed models through statistics such as $R^2$, F values, multicollinearity, residual analysis. The paper selected the accident forecasting models considering the characteristics of tunnel accidents and two models were finally proposed according to two groups of tunnel length. In the selected models, natural logarithm of ln(no./MVK) is used for the dependent variable and AADT, vertical slope, and tunnel hight are used for the independent variables. The reliability of two models was proved by the comparison analysis between field data and estimating data using RMSE and MAE. These models may be not only effective in evaluating tunnel safety under design and planning phases of tunnel but also useful to reduce traffic accidents in tunnels and to manage the traffic flow of tunnel.
본 논문은 고속도로 터널구간을 대상으로 교통사고특성을 다각적으로 분석하여 다양한 독립변수를 선정하고 종속변수를 건, 건/km, 건/백만대km로 다양화하여 다중선형회귀모형을 개발하였다. 그리고 개발된 모형들은 상호 비교 검토하여 최종적으로 교통사고영향요인으로 구성된 신뢰성 있는 교통사고예측모형을 결정하였다. 교통사고예측모형은 모형의 $R^2$, F값 등 검정통계량 수준, 다중공선성, 잔차분석 등 모형검증과정이 수행되었고 터널구간의 교통사고특성 반영여부 등을 검토하여 최종적으로 터널길이에 따라 총 2개의 모형을 선정하였다. 선정된 종속변수는 ln(건/백만대km)이며, 독립 변수는 연평균일교통량(AADT), 종단구배, 터널높이로 구성되었다. 추정모형은 RMSE, MAE를 이용하여 예측한 값과 실제 관측값과의 차이를 분석하여 터널구간의 교통사고를 설명하는데 적합한 모형으로 파악되었다.
