초록

회전교차로는 영국, 프랑스 등에서 70년대 이후부터 발전하여 현재 유럽을 비롯한 호주, 미국 등 세계 여러 나라에서 운영되어 관련 연구가 끊임없이 지속되고 있으며, 최근 회전교차로를 적극 도입하고 있는 우리나라에서도 이에 맞춰 적극적인 홍보 및 연구가 계속 되고 있다. 하지만 선행연구들은 회전교차로의 안전성 및 운영 효율성에 관한 연구들이 대부분을 차지하고 있고, 회전교차로 설계지침 및 관련연구에서 명확한 보행자 관련 설치기준 및 영향을 제시하지 않고 있다. 설계지침에서 제시하고 있는 최대 교통량에서 보행자에 의한 영향까지 고려한다면, 첨두시간과 같은 시점에서는 오히려 회전교차로가 비효율적으로 운영 될 수 있다. 즉, 첨두시 이외의 시간에는 회전교차로가 효율적으로 운영 되지만, 특정 시간대에는 차량 통행량 및 보행자 수에 따라 회전교차로의 운영개선을 검토해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 특정시간이나 첨두시의 교통량 및 보행자수를 가정하여 보행자수에 따른 회전교차로의 접근로별 용량변화를 살펴보고, 보행자 수가 증감함에 따른 회전교차로에서의 보행신호 적용 타당성 및 그에 따른 신호운영 방안을 제시하였다. 현장자료를 이용한 시뮬레이션 분석을 통해 회전교차로 보행신호의 설치효과 및 적용방안을 검토하였고, 보행신호를 적용한 회전교차로의 설치 시, 일반 회전교차로에 비해 지체감소 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Roundabouts have been operated in Europe, America and Australia since the 1970s, and many relevant researches continually was carried out. Though many studies regarding roundabout have been recently conducted in korea, most of them have focused on its operational safety and efficiency. Moreover, roundabout design guideline did not define a clear criteria related to pedestrian in roundabout, but seldom investigate the influences of pedestrian on crosswalk. In this study, we seek ways to operate the pedestrian crosswalk signal on roundabout maximizing their operational effects in exceptional case such as rush hour or intersection near the special facilities. We proved that roundabout signal operation is effective under certain circumstances in according to the number of pedestrian, and suggested the optimal signal timing plan for signalized roundabouts. For pursuing the above, we conducted the simulation test using the VISSIM model. The results show that the operational effectiveness of signalized roundabout was evaluated to be better than non-signalized roundabout in specific pedestrian volume condition. In addition, those results are confirmed using simulation analysis conducted on the real roundabout.
