중앙버스전용차로 정류장 주변 보행자 교통사고 요인분석: 서울시 TAAS (2014-2016) 자료를 중심으로

초록

This study examines pedestrian traffic accidents around the exclusive median bus lane (EMBL) station areas using TAAS (2014-2016) in Seoul, Korea. Pedestrian traffic accidents around EMBL stations have recently become a serious problem. The city of Seoul expanded the EMBL system in the context of the public transport reorganization in July 2004. There were 347 EMBL stations by 2014. According to the data from January 2014 to April 2017, 98 cases (14%) of the 685 pedestrian traffic accident fatalities occurred near the EMBL station areas. Analysis results with descriptive analysis and negative binomial regression models indicate that physical environmental factors are more likely to be associated with pedestrian traffic accidents. First, the pedestrian traffic accidents were lower in the EMBL station areas where the median strip was installed. Second, the separated EMBL stations prevent serious pedestrian accidents comparing to integrated EMBL stations. Finally, the EMBL station areas with more than six lanes showed lower pedestrian traffic accidents. This finding indicates the association between pedestrian traffic accidents and jay-walking in the EMBL station areas.
