Abstract

PCE(Passenger Car Equivalents) is used to analysis of road capacity and LOS(Level of Service). In this study calculates PCE by number of lane and 12 vehicle type by MOLIT(Minister of Land, Infra Structure and Transport) using individual vehicle data. The results of the calculation, PCEs are increased when high vehicle classification level, many number of lanes and weekend. Heavy vehicle factors are smaller than KHCM on 4, 6 lane. Also, In this study estimates of PCE variation model by heavy vehicle percentage. Impact of Heavy vehicles on PCEs is the most sensitive on 2 lane. The results of the study, heavy vehicles low impact on PCE on multi-lane and business trips are a little in weekend.

승용차 환산계수는 도로의 서비스 수준 및 용량 분석 등에 활용되는 자료이다. 본 연구에서는 개별차량자료를 활용하여 차로수별로 국토교통부에서 구분하고 있는 12가지 차종에 대하여 승용차 환산계수를 산출하였다. 산출결과 차종의 등급이 높을수록, 차로수가 많을수록, 주말일수록 승용차 환산계수의 값이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 승용차 환산계수를 활용하여 중차량 보정계수를 산출하였으며, 4, 6차로에서는 도로용량편람에서 제시한 결과와 비교했을 때 상대적으로 그 값이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 차로수별로 중차량 비율에 따른 평균 승용차 환산계수 변화 모형을 추정하였으며, 2차로에서 PCE에 미치는 중차량의 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 다차로에서 중차량의 영향이 적고 주말의 통행은 상대적으로 업무통행 차량이 적기 때문으로 판단된다.
