Truck driving is known as one of the occupations with the highest accident rate. This study investigates the characteristics of traffic collisions according to road types (expressway and rural road).
Classifying 267 accidents into expressway and rural road, we analyzed them based on driver characteristics (age, working experience, size of employment), time characteristics (day of accident, time, weather), and accident characteristics (accident causes, accident locations, accident types, driving conditions).
When we compared the accidents by road conditions, no differences were found between the driver characteristics. However, from the accident characteristics, the injured person distributions were different by the road conditions. In particular, driving while drowsy is shown to be highly related with the accident characteristics.
This study can be used as a guideline and a base line to develop a plan of action to prevent traffic accidents. It can also help to prepare formal regulations about a truck driver's vehicle maintenance and driving attitude for a precaution on road accidents.
卡车驾驶是事故率最高的职业之一。本研究根据道路类型（高速公路和乡村道路）调查交通碰撞的特征。
将267起事故分为高速公路事故和乡村道路事故，我们基于驾驶员特征（年龄、工作经验、就业规模）、时间特征（事故发生日、时间、天气）和事故特征（事故原因、事故地点、事故类型、驾驶条件）对其进行分析。
当我们按道路状况比较事故时，未发现驾驶员特征之间存在差异。然而，从事故特征来看，受伤人员分布因道路状况而异。特别是，疲劳驾驶与事故特征高度相关。
本研究可作为制定预防交通事故行动计划的指南和基线。它还有助于制定关于卡车司机车辆维护和驾驶态度的正式规定，以预防道路事故。
