Abstract

Commercial buses and trucks are mostly large vehicles. Therefore, in case of a buses and trucks related traffic accident, human and physical damage are relatively large. For the safety management of buses and trucks, it is important to understand the factors and relative importance that affect the severity of traffic accidents. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact factors of the severity of traffic accidents in buses and trucks using meta-analysis for comprehensive analysis. As a result, a total of 42 research documents are collected and meta-analysis is performed on 15 variables. Based on the results of the analysis, the effect factors and the effect size contributing to the severity of traffic accidents are drawn. In addition, suggestions are made in terms of safety management policies for buses and trucks based on the derived effect size. It is expected that this study will contribute to reducing the severity of accidents in buses and trucks, which are accompanied by large human lives.

상용차의 상당 부분을 차지하는 버스 및 화물차는 대형차량인 경우가 많다. 따라서 버스 및 트럭 교통사고 발생 시 인적 및 물적 피해가 상대적으로 크게 발생한다. 버스 및 트럭 안전관리를 위해서는 버스 및 트럭 교통사고 심각도에 영향을 미치는 요인 및 상대적 중요도를 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 포괄적인 분석을 위해 메타분석을 활용하여 버스 및 트럭 교통사고 심각도 영향요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 결과적으로 총 42개 연구문헌을 수집하여 15개 변수에 대해 메타분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과를 토대로 버스 및 트럭 교통사고 심각도에 기여하는 영향요인 및 효과크기를 도출하였다. 또한, 도출된 효과크기를 토대로 버스 및 트럭 안전관리 정책 측면에서 시사점을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 대형 인명피해가 따르는 버스 및 트럭 사고심각도 저감에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
