ABSTRACT

Bicycle riding becomes more popular as a leisure activity and bicycle accidents by human error have recently increased. To provide safety measure for the accidents, this study performed a risk analysis of bicycle accidents in South Korea. We collected the statistical data of bicycle accidents due to driver’s negligence during 5 years (2014-2018) from Koroad TAAS (Traffic Accidents Analysis System). Bicycle accident types were identified in the 1st and 2nd detailed classifications, and human casualty was weight calculated including fatalities and injuries. The results show that side collision by an automobile is most frequent and driving off the road is the most severe in fatality rate. Considering that most of the bicycle accidents occurred by human error, local and central government should improve road safety education and campaign and enforce safety regulation.
