A majority of car crash is affected by careless driving that causes extensive economic and social costs, as well as injuries and fatalities. Thus, the research of precise crash detection systems is very significant issues in automotive safety. A lot of crash detection algorithms have been developed, but the coverage of these algorithms has been limited to few scenarios. Road scenes and situations need to be considered in order to expand the scope of a collision detection system to include a variety of collision modes. The proposed algorithm effectively handles the x, y, and z axes of the sensor, while considering time and suggests a method suitable for various real worlds. To reduce nuisance and false crash detection events, the algorithm discriminated between driving mode and parking mode. The performance of the suggested algorithm was evaluated under various scenarios, and it successfully discriminated between driving and parking modes, and it adjusted crash detection events depending on the real scenario. The proposed algorithm is expected to efficiently manage the space and lifespan of the storage device by allowing the vehicle's black box system to store only necessary crash event's videos.

Many car manufacturers have frequently adopted an aggressive inflator and a lower threshold speed for airbag deployment in order to meet an injury requirement for unbolted occupant at high speed crash test. Consequently, today's occupant safety restraint system has a weakness due to an airbag induced injury at low speed crash event. This paper proposes a new crash algorithm to improve the weakness by suppressing airbag deployment at low speed crash event in case of belted condition. The proposed algorithm consists of two major blocks-crash severity algorithm and deployment logic block. The first block decides crash severity with two levels by means of velocity and crash energy calculation from acceleration signal. The second block implemented by simple AND/OR logic combines the crash severity level and seat belt status information to generate firing commands for airbag and belt pretensioner. Furthermore, it can be extended to adopt additional sensor information from passenger presence detection sensor and safing sensor. A simulation using real crash data for a 1,800cc passenger vehicle has been conducted to verify the performance of proposed algorithm.

Airbag deployment has been responsible for huge death, incidental injuries and broken bones due to low crash severity and wrong deployment decision. This misfortune has led the authorities and the industries to pursue uniquely designed airbags incorporating crash-sensing technologies. This paper provides a thorough discussion underlying crash sensing algorithm approaches for the subject matter. Unfortunately, most algorithms used for crash sensing still have some problems. They either deploy at low severity or fail to trigger the airbag on time. In this work, the crash-sensing algorithm is studied by analyzing the data obtained from the variables such as (i) change of velocity, (ii) speed of the vehicle and (iii) acceleration. The change of velocity is used to detect crash while speed of the vehicle provides relevant information for deployment decision. This paper also demonstrates crash severity with respect to the changing speed of the vehicle. Crash sensing simulations were carried out using Simulink, Stateflow, SimMechanics and Virtual Reality toolboxes. These toolboxes are also used to validate the results obtained from the simulated experiments of crash sensing, airbag deployment decision and its crash severity detection of the proposed system.

For proper release of side airbags, the onset of crash should be detected first. After crash detection, the algorithm has to make a decision whether the side airbag deployment is necessary. If the deployment is necessary, proper timing has to be provided for the maximum protection of driver or passenger. The side airbag release algorithm should be robust against the statistical deviations which are inherent to experimental crash test data. Deterministic optimization algorithms cannot be used for the side aribag release algorithm since the objective function cannot be expressed in a closed form. From this background, genetic algorithm has been used for the optimization. The optimization requires moderate amount of computation and gives satisfactory results.

This paper presents design concepts, specifications and performances of a newly developed Black Box, the reconstruction analysis tool with the records, and results of validation tests. The Black Box can detect crash accidents automatically, and record the vehicle's motion and driver's maneuvers during a pre-defined time period before and after the accident. The items of the Black Box included the acceleration, yaw-rate, vehicle speed, engine RPM, braking application, steering and several digital inputs for recording driver's maneuvers. To detect the accident-related-crash, it is important to understand characteristics of the crash signal, which are much different from those of normal driving. Therefore, analytical considerations should be taken in designing pre-filtering circuits and selecting appropriate parameters for identifying crash accidents. And, it is necessary to select proper combination of motion sensors and design proper pre-filtering circuits in order to describe the vehicle's motion. The analysis algorithms were developed and implemented which can perform accurate detection of crash accidents, simulating pre-crash trajectories, and calculating parameters for reconstruction analysis of crash accidents. The developed Black Box was installed on passenger cars and several types of validation tests were conducted. Through the tests, the accuracy of the recorded data and usefulness of the analysis tool for reconstruction have been validated.

Actually, The present traffic accident detection system is subsisting limitation of accurate distinction under the crowded condition at intersection because the system defend upon mainly the image information at intersection and digital image processing techniques nearly all. To complement this insufficiency, this article aims to estimate the level of present technology and a realistic possibility by analyzing the acoustic characteristic of crash sound that we have to investigate for improvement of traffic accident detection rate at intersection. The skid sound of traffic accident is showed the special pattern at 1[kHz])${\sim}$3[kHz] bandwidth when vehicles are almost never operated in and around intersection. Also, the frequency bandwidth of vehicle crash sound is showed sound pressure difference oyer 30[dB] higher than when there is no occurrence of traffic accident below 500[Hz].

고속도로에서 발생된 교통사고 지속시간은 교통혼잡에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 일반적으로, 교통사고 지속시간은 사고의 검지시간, 대응시간, 처리시간으로 구성되며, 이 중 사고의 검지 및 대응시간은 최근 스마트폰 보급률 증가로 인해 매우 감소된 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 교통사고 처리팀에 의해 수행되는 사고 처리시간의 관리는 교통사고로 인한 교통혼잡 관리에 매우 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구는 고속도로 교통사고 처리에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자를 파악하는 것이 목적이다. 분석을 위해 2013년 전국 30개 주요 고속도로에서 발생한 총 6,870건의 자료를 이용하였다. 고속도로 사고 처리시간에 영향을 주는 인자 분석을 위해 Cox 모형을 활용하였다. 분석결과, 13개의 변수가 교통사고 처리시간에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 사고 처리시간을 증가시키는 요인은 터널에서 발생한 사고, 사망자가 발생한 사고, 사고차량수, 사고 후 상태의 상태가 전도 혹은 화재로 이어진 사고, 차량이 완파된 사고, 화물(대형) 및 트레일러 사고, 야간에 발생한 사고인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 톨게이트에서 발생한 사고, 차-시설 사고, 승용차 사고, 종단구배가 평탄한 구간에서 발생한 사고는 다른 환경에서 발생한 사고보다 사고 처리시간을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 고속도로에서 사고 발생 시 혼잡에 영향을 줄 수 있는 사고 처리시간의 감소 전략 수립을 위한 기반정보로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

현재의 교통사고 검지시스템은 주로 대도시의 혼잡한 교차로의 교통사고를 감지하기 위한 시스템 개발에 초점이 맞추어져 있으며 주로 교차로에서의 영상정보와 디지털 영상처리기술에만 의존하고 있기 때문에 교차로에서의 혼잡한 상황에서는 정확한 판별의 제한이 잔존하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여, 본 논문은 교차로에서의 교통사고 자동검지율의 향상을 위해 검토되어야 할 사고음의 음향특성을 분석함으로써 현재 기술수준과 실현가능성을 가늠해 보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 교차로에서 차량의 사고가 발생할 때, 충돌음의 주파수 대역은 500[Hz] 이하에서 사고가 발생하지 않은 시점보다 높은 30[dB] 이상의 음압차이를 보였다. 또한, 교차로 주변에 차량의 소통이 거의 없을 때 자동차사고 스키드음은 $1[kHz]{\sim}3[kHz}$ 대역에서 특정패턴을 보였다.
