Abstract

Generally, V/C ratio in uninterrupted traffic flow and average travel speed in interrupted traffic flow are utilized as measure of effect for assessing operational situation of roads. The set of road conditions and traffic conditions are considered to be major variables for assessing operational situation in the traffic flow. However, weather conditions such as rainfall also affect the operational situation of roads. The studies reflected by the rainy situation are conducted in the uninterrupted flow, but the related studies are insufficient in the interrupted flow. In this study, the modification factors during rainfall in the interrupted flow were suggested, and the factors could be used when calculating the average travel speed during rainfall in the interrupted flow. By utilizing the data that were investigated in the same road and traffic conditions and the different weather conditions (rainy day or clear day), the modification factors were founded on regression analysis of the travel speed during rainfall as a dependent variable. Modification factors was suggested in dividing peak time, non-peak time, and whole period. Based on this study, the modification factors can be used to complementing the average travel speed model for assessing the operational situation of urban streets during rainfall.

일반적으로 도로의 혼잡상태나 운영상태를 평가하기 위한 효과척도로서 연속류에서는 V/C비를 이용하고, 단속류에서는 평균통행속도를 이용한다. 연속류 및 단속류의 운영상태를 평가하기 위한 효과척도에는 도로조건과 교통조건이 주요한 변수로 적용된다. 그런데 도로 및 교통조건외에 강우시와 같은 기상여건이 도로의 운영상태에 영향을 준다. 연속류에서는 강우시 기상상태를 반영한 보정계수에 대한 연구가 선행되어 있으나, 단속류에서는 관련 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 단속교통류에서 평균통행속도를 산정할 때 반영할 수 있는 강우시 통행속도 감소에 대한 보정계수를 산정하였다. 도로 및 교통조건이 동일하고 강우시 및 비강우시 등 기상조건이 다를 때 강우시 통행속도를 종속변수로 하는 회귀분석을 시행함으로써 강우시 통행속도 보정계수를 산정하였다. 회귀분석을 통하여 산정된 강우시 보정계수는 첨두시간대, 비첨두시간대, 전시간대로 구분하여 산정하였다. 본 연구를 통한 강우시 통행속도 보정계수를 이용하여 기존에 이용되고 있는 도시내 도로의 운영상태를 평가하기 위한 평균통행속도 산정식을 보완할 수 있다.
