초록

지난 10년간 대한민국에서 발생한 전체 교통사고 수는 감소했지만, 사업용 차량의 교통사고는 꾸준히 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 특히, 연중 많은 관광객이 방문하고 렌터카를 주 교통 수단으로 이용하는 제주도의 경우 렌터카 사고 문제로 심각한 인명 피해와 사회적 비용이 야기되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 제주지역에서 발생한 렌터카 사고의 특성을 비사업용 일반승용차 사고 특성과 비교 분석하였고, 사고 감소 방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 지난 2년간(2014-2015년) 제주지역에서 발생한 918건의 렌터카 사고와 4,201건의 일반승용차 사고 데이터를 카이제곱검정 및 z-검정 등의 통계적 방법론을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 렌터카 사고와 일반승용차 사고의 특성은 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 렌터카 사고는 20-30대 젊은 운전자와 면허를 취득한지 얼마 되지 않은 운전자 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 인적 및 환경적 요인에 관련된 사고특성이 일반승용차와 유의한 수준 하에서 통계적으로 다르게 나타났다. 특히 운전 미숙, 낯선 지리, 익숙하지 않은 차량 등은 렌터카 사고를 유발하는 주요 원인으로 판단된다. 반면, 렌터카 사고 분석결과 차량적 요인에 대한 명확한 특징은 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 제주지역 뿐만 아니라 렌터카 운행이 증가하는 지역, 관광지 특성이 강한 지역에서 교통사고 특성 분석 및 교통안전대책 수립과정에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Each year, a number of tourists visit Jeju Island, a popular tourist destination in the Republic of Korea. A large portion of the tourists (about 61%) use a rental car as a means of transportation. With this reason, the number of rental cars registered in Jeju was 15,517 in 2011, while the total number of the rental car has rapidly increased to 26,338 in 2015. For the same period, the number of rental car involved traffic accidents has been doubled. Thus, this study aims to analyze the rental car accidents' characteristics, clarifying primary factors related to rental car accidents in Jeju Island. To do this, 918 rental car accidents and 4,201 non-commercial passenger car accidents that occurred in Jeju island over the two years (2014-2015) were compared, using statistical methods such as chi-square test and z-test. The results show that the characteristics of rental car involved accidents are different from those caused by the passenger cars. Most of the rental car accidents in Jeju were caused by young drivers and drivers who had just obtained their driver's licenses. This study finds that driver immaturity, unfamiliar geography, and driving an unfamiliar vehicle are the main causes of the rental car accidents. Statistical analysis confirms that the characteristics of these accidents appeared significantly different from the passenger cars in terms of human and environmental factors. On the other hand, there is no clear evidence that vehicle-related characteristics are different between rental car and non-commercial passenger car accidents. The implications on transportation safety analysis and effective solutions to prevent rental car traffic accidents are discussed.
