Abstract

This was a study on the ultimate effect and characteristics of introducing a roundabout through a review of literature on the subject of roundabout. In order to examine an effect produced when roundabout is substituted for ordinary signal-controlled intersection operated at Daego Five-way Intersection and Seongmo Five-way Intersection located in Junggu, Daejeon Metropolitan City, site to be studied, the produced effect was analyzed through comparison between before and after introducing roundabouts in series at Daego Five-way Intersection and Seongmo Five-way Intersection by using microscopic traffic simulation program VISSIM widely used for analyzing an effect of roundabout based on a survey of geometric structure, traffic volume and signal interval on the site. As mentioned above, when Daego Five-way Intersection and Seongmo Five-way Intersection was changed to roundabout, a positive effect was produced on average speed and delay time in comparison with the existing status. It is possible to expect that roundabout can be more efficiently operated when 2 places on the site are changed to double roundabout than when separately changed to roundabouts.

본 연구는 대전광역시 중구에 위치한 대고오거리와 성모오거리를 대상으로 회전교차로 도입 시 나타나는 효과에 대하여 미시적 교통시뮬레이션 프로그램인 VISSIM을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 기존 교차로의 구간 별 평균 통행속도는 31.51km/h로 분석되었으며, 평균 지체시간은 32.5초로 분석되었다. 대고오거리만 회전교차로로 전환시 평균 통행속도 35.04km/h, 평균 지체시간 24.5초로 분석되었고, 성모오거리만 회전교차로로 전환될시 구간별 평균 통행속도는 34.79km/h, 지점별 평균 지체시간은 28.0초로 분석되었다. 마지막으로 대상지 2개 지점을 쌍구형 회전교차로로 전환 될 시의 구간 별 평균 통행속도는 38.62km/h, 지점별 평균 지체시간은 20.4초로 분석되었다. 이와 같이 두 개 교차로를 각각 회전교차로로 전환하는 시나리오에서 지체시간이 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 두 개 지점을 모두 회전교차로로 연결하는 쌍구형 회전교차로 전환시 지체시간이 가장 적게 나타나 기존 교차로에 비해 효율적이라고 판단되었다.
