In modern society, automobile is necessary vehicle. Automobile is a series of modern convenient. And the number of automobile is on the increase. But from you to year, automobile accident is on the increase, also. One of most reason that cause automobile accident is drowsiness driving. So, we plan to construct automobile system for drowsiness accident prevention for decreasing automobile accident. In this research, we built a drowsiness detecting device using EDA (Electro Dermal Activity) signal which is electric response in the human body skin. There are SIL (Skin Impedance Level) and SIR (Skin Impedance Response) in EDA. Mostly, SIL consists of DC element. On the other hand, SIL consists of AC element. We could detect the drowsiness condition with SIL and SIR signal.

Objectives: In South Korea, traffic accident victims can be treated under automobile insurance coverage. Korean medicine (KM) clinics have reported the largest number of automobile insurance fee claims among medical institutions. This study investigated the status of the KM automobile insurance system in a single KM clinic. Methods: We retrospectively surveyed the medical charts of 342 traffic accident patients treated at the Jisung KM clinic between January 2009 and June 2017. Results: Most of the patients were men and in their 30s. The most common method of locating the clinic was an internet search. The most common traffic accident type was collision between vehicles (83.63%), with 70.76% of patients visiting during the most acute phase. The major disease codes included S434, M4836, F072, S0600, and S3350. The most frequent treatment period was within 1 month of the accident, and most patients received 10 or fewer treatments. The mean treatment duration and number of treatments were 37.68 ± 45.11 days and 11.68 ± 10.63 treatments, respectively. The initial pain numerical rating scale (NRS), 7.32 ± 0.96, decreased to 3.57 ± 1.40 at the end of treatment, with a symptom improvement score of 1.87 ± 0.60. Regarding sex, age, disease duration, location at the time of the accident, presence of additional and psychological symptoms, and chuna, there were statistically significant differences in treatment duration and number of treatments. A higher number of treatments and the longer treatment duration was associated with a higher initial NRS, lower post-treatment NRS, and better improvement score. Since the introduction of traffic accident (TA) pharmacopuncture, the rate of use of a single type of pharmacopuncture increased; however, no significant differences in treatment duration and number, NRS before and after treatment, and improvement score were observed between treatment groups before and after TA pharmacopuncture. No adverse reactions were observed for any treatment. Conclusion: This study confirmed the previous findings of a high treatment effect of KM under automobile insurance. We also observed significant correlations based on a detailed medical status, which may explain the increasing use of KM in the automobile insurance system. Additional multi-center studies in different regions are needed.

It is very difficult to evaluate the impact speed, who caused the accident and what the injury risk of the vehicle occupants was from the outcome of the accident. That's the main reason why there are so many insurance fraud related to vehicle accident. In this study, a vehicle crash accident suspected to an insurance fraud had been reconstructed to evaluate crash speed and the relationship between the crash accident and passenger injury risk. To do this, the scene was reconstructed based on accident investigation report and three vehicle crash tests were done at 27kph, 37kph and 70kph. The crash speed of 27kph and 37kph were chosen based on the damaged vehicle and 70kph was chosen based on the driver's statement. Based on the damage of vehicle and dummy injury measure, impact speed is estimated around 20 to 30kph and the dummy measures show that the passengers are not seems to be severely injured in this speed range.

The present study aimed to compare and analyze the particulars of and difference in medical expenses and their composition ratio for 2,026 patients hospitalized at 2 types of medical institutions (443 at a clinic and 1,583 at a hospital) in Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do under coverage of automobile insurance during 2009. From the analysis, it became evident that there were differences in individual characters of inpatients covered by automobile insurance, and details, composition and composition ratio of medical treatment for them depending on types of medical institutions. There was no difference, however, between the total and average medical expenses per capita even when markup rate was applied to the automobile insurance by types of hospitals. The ratio of radiotherapy and physical therapy in the composition of medical expenses was found to be extraordinarily high in clinics compared to that of hospitals. The composition ratio of the fixed cost including charge for hospitalization also turned out to be fairly high in all medical institutions.

ADR has recently been expanded, making it possible to solve traffic accident disputes, which is a matter of urgency for parties to avoid. This point serves as an important procedural element. Such disputes are an area that requires a quick resolution. To try to solve any dispute that occurs in the complex environment of modern times one-by-one through litigation does not make sense. It gives an undue burden on the judicial body and the investigation agency. Like litigation, today's arbitration system, should have effective conflict resolution. The arbitration of automobile traffic accident disputes can be seen as roughly adjusted through the insurance company, the Dispute Coordinating Committee, and the Crime Victims Protection Act. It consists of experts mainly, and the resolution of automobile traffic accident disputes can be resolved through the Sajonsa and workers insurance company. However, adjustments to failure incident mostly need attention. Most of a company's compensation insurance indemnity needs to be processed in practice. In addition, a vicious cycle of litigation and delay period is repeated if a lawyer is appointed. There are unreasonable adjustment systems in the midst of these. Avoiding traffic accidents allows parties to resolve disputes better. Arbitration of disputes in automobile traffic accidents handled by arbitration institutions is desirable. It is determined that the handling of a case by a village attorney is efficient.

Traffic accidents occur in Korea are calculated with the 「Automobile Accident Negligence Ratio Certification Standard」 prepared by the 'General Insurance Association of Korea' and the insurance company's agreement or judgment is made. However, disputes are frequently occurring in calculating the negligence ratio. Therefore, it is thought that a more effective response would be possible if accident type according to the standard could be quickly identified using traffic accident information prepared by police. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model that learns the accident information prepared by the police and classifies it to match the accident type in the standard. In particular, through data mining, keywords necessary to classify the accident types of the standard were extracted from the accident data of the police. Then, models were developed to derive the types of accidents by learning the extracted keywords through decision trees and random forest models.

Automobile black boxes store and provide accident and driving information. The accident and driving information can be utilized to build scientific traffic-event database and can be applied in various industries. The objective of this study is to develop a recognition system of dangerous driving through analyzing the driving characteristic patterns. In this paper, possible dangerous driving models are classified into four models on the basis of vehicle behaviors(acceleration, deceleration, rotation) and accident types from existing statistical data. Dangerous driving data have been acquired through vehicle tests using automobile black boxes. Characteristics of driving patterns have been analyzed in order to classify dangerous driving models. For the recognition of dangerous driving, this study selected critical value of each dangerous driving model and developed the recognition algorithm of dangerous driving. The study has been verified by the application of recognition algorithm of dangerous driving and vehicle tests using automobile black boxes. The presented recognition methods of dangerous driving can be used for on-line/off-line management of drivers and vehicles.

There are trying to reduce damage from automobile accident in many countries. In many automobile companies, there have been active study on development of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) for commercialization, in order to reduce damage from automobile accident. ADAS is the system providing convenience and safeness for drivers. Generally, ADAS is composed of ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System), and AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking). AEB of the ADAS, it is an autonomous emergency braking system and it senses potential collide and avoids or degrades it. Therefore AEB plays a significant role in reducing automobile accident rate. However, AEB safety evaluation method is not established not yet. For this reason, this study suggests safety evaluation scenarios with adding cut-in, sensor malfunctioning scenario that scenario domestic street conditions considered as well as original standard AEB scenario of Euro NCAP for establishment of safety evaluation method of AEB. And verifying validity of suggested scenario by comparing the calculated values of the theoretical formulas presented in the previous study with results of the actual vehicle test.
