Abstract

The accident of mass transit such as a bus could draw the large casualties and this induces social and economic losses. Recently, severe bus accidents caused by tiredness and inattention of bus drivers occurred and those lead to growing interest in bus accidents and the drivers' work environment. Therefore, this study analyzes the accident based on the work environment of bus drivers and route-bus categories. For the research, this study collected digital tachograph data and the bus company information for 271 domestic bus companies in 2017 and used ANOVA test and chi-square test as statistical methodologies. As a result, we figured out there are statistically significant differences in the accident according to the working environments. Especially, the present study confirmed the intracity bus with working every other day has the most frequent accidents. We expect that the results of this study be used as foundations for the improvement of working conditions to reduce route-bus accidents in the future.

대량수송이 가능한 대중교통 수단의 경우 사고 발생 시 대형인명피해가 우려되며, 이로 인해 다량의 사회적 경제적 손실이 발생할 가능성이 크다. 특히, 최근 들어 버스 운전자의 피로 및 부주의 등으로 인한 중 대형 버스사고가 잇따라 발생하며 버스사고 및 운전자의 근무환경에 대한 사회적 관심이 나날이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 버스운전자의 근로 환경(업종별 근로 형태별)에 따른 근로여건 및 사고 특성을 비교 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 국내 271개 버스회사에 대한 2017년 1월~12월까지의 운행기록계 자료 및 업체 정보(업종구분, 근로형태)를 수집하였으며, 이를 통계적 방법론을 활용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 버스운전자의 근로조건에 따른 사고빈도 및 운행환경의 차이가 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 격일제 근무 형태를 따르는 시내버스(특광역시 제외)에서 교통사고가 비교적 빈번히 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과가 향후 노선버스 사고 감소를 위한 근무여건 개선의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.
