Presenter’s Name: Seongkyun Cho

Economy: Republic of KOREA

1. Assistant braking system

Increase of bus accidents in downhill slope ways

• (Death toll): 7 (2010) , 15 (2011) , 5 (~5.2012)

• (# of accidents): 21 (2010), 24 (2011), 10 (~5.2012)

• (# of the injured): 128 (2010), 194 (2011), 215 (~5.2012)

Cause: standards of assistant braking system needs to be enforced

• (target) retarder/exhaustion braking system

• UN R 13 based on European road longitudinal gradient (12%)

• Korean road gradient(17%) requires the current standards based

on UN R 13 to be enforced

Plan considered: enforcement of domestic standards and discuss the

possibility to revise UN R 13 as needed. (0.5/0.6m/s2 →0.9m/s2)
