Traffic congestion occurs from drivers' human factors such as driver reaction time, reckless lane change, and inexperienced driving. When Automated Vehicles are introduced, human factors are excluded, resulting in increased average vehicle speed, stabilizing traffic flow, and increasing road capacity. This study analyzed traffic flow changes through traffic volume-speed-density plots, and increased road capacity due to Automated Vehicles. As a result of the analysis, when rate of automated vehicles gests higher, the traffic flow became stable. Additionally, it was analyzed that when all vehicles were automated, the road capacity increased by about 120 %. It is expected that there will be a positive expectation in terms of traffic congestion and traffic demand management due to the introduction of Automated Vehicles.

Traffic monitoring method is mainly loop detector and piezo sensor. But this method is only detecting the number of vehicle. Monitoring traffic volume is not checking the number of vehicle but checking the length of access road, width of road, number of passing people,passing vehicle,delayed vehicle. The traffic signal control cycle is not fixed by only passing vehicle number but all related traffic proposal. This paper proposed selecting common characteristic out of each unrelated traffic proposal through Analytic Hierachy Process and this characteristic is applied to compose fuzzy sensor algorithm which find out new traffic volume concept of confusion degree. The accumulated delayed vehicle time is shorter in new fuzzy sensor algorithm applied by AHP than other traffic method

Most existing progression bandwidth models maximize the single or multi weighted sum of bandwidths in the both directions to improve traffic mobility on an arterial, but they cannot be applied to general networks. Even though a few models formulating a looped network problem cannot be applied to networks have not loops. Also they have some defects in optimizing phase sequences. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develope a mathematical formulation of the synchronization problem for a general traffic network. The goal is achieved successfully by introducing the signal phasing for each movement and expanding the mixed integer linear programming of MAXBAND. The experiments indicate that the proposed model can formulate the general traffic network problem mere efficiently than any other model. In conclusion, this model may optimize signal time to smooth progression in the general networks.

In spite of continuous road construction, traffic congestion has been worsening by radical vehicle's increase and development of surroundings near expressway. Thus, the necessity of traffic management and the needs of provision of traffic information to drivers are raised. In order to solve traffic problems, such as traffic congestion, search for optimal congestion management technique and evaluation of the effect of optimal solution should be examined prior to practice of optimal alternative. However, existing traffic analysis model and simulation programs as tools to search and evaluate optimal alternative are not sufficient to reflect traffic flow characteristics, domestic road and traffic conditions and to link up to Freeway Traffic Management Systems (FTMS). Hence, to use existing traffic analysis and simulation tools are followed by hard work to need a lot of time and cost. Therefore, in this research, Expressway TRaffic Analysis Model (ExTRAM) based on Freeway Traffic Management Systems (FTMS) was developed to apply it into congestion management easily.

A climbing lane is installed to separate low-speed traffic from high-speed traffic if drastic traffic capacity reduction is expected due to a large number of vehicles that slow down in the upward section. Existing studies on climbing lanes have focused on the designation, location of starting and ending points, and installation method of climbing lane with regard to road design standards. However, in terms of traffic operation, it was known that the climbing lanes cause traffic congestion due to the increase of traffic volumes. In this regard, this study aims to establish traffic operational guidance as to how much effects temporary closure of climbing lanes can have on traffic improvement according to the volume-capacity ratio, grade, and composition of trucks. A test section of simulated climbing lane was selected in Nakdong JC bound for Masan(136.9K~133.3K, 3.6km, 3.7%) on Jungbunaeryuk expressway to conduct VISSIM analyses, microscopic traffic simulation based on such control variables as traffic volume(v/c), grade and the trucks ratio. As a result of the analyses, it has been found that v/c and the ratio of trucks are the key variables for efficient traffic management of climbing lanes in order to relieve traffic congestion via climbing lane. If ratio of trucks are more than 50% and when v/c would be 0.8, both climbing lane would be closed and non-operated regardless of grade and ratio of trucks when v/c is 1.0. With the increased traffic due to a five-day work week system, continued peak hours during the weekday, increased and various patterns of congestion on expressway, this study would be expected to contribute to facilitating researches on flexible operational standards for road facilities.

Recently, the number of private cars has increased sharply due to the increase in national income. The sudden increase in the number of vehicles in limited territory has caused serious traffic congestion and the traffic congestion cost wasted on the road due to such traffic congestion is increasing every year. To solve this problem, we propose a traffic signal control system using image processing. In this paper, we use the camera installed at the intersection to measure the amount of traffic flowing in and out of each road simultaneously. We propose a traffic signal control system that can prevent traffic congestion before it happens. In the case of applying the traffic signal control system proposed in this paper to the daytime, the traffic volume could be measured accurately. However, the result of the experiment with the night-time general camera and the headlight with the infrared camera at the night-time of 72.8% was 86.6%.

It may be reasonable to consider density per unit area over time rather than analyze traffic volume, which is simply the traffic volume per unit of time, in assessing the maritime traffic congestion of a certain area. This study contributes to the standardization of maritime traffic congestion assessment methods for the maritime traffic safety diagnosis institute while seeking a new method to minimize evaluation error due to converted traffic volume per ship tonnage level. To solve this problem, a method to evaluate maritime traffic congestion by comparing the area occupied by a vessel with the area of its route using vessel identification data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) has been proposed. In this new model, it is possible to use actual data due to the development of information and communication technology, reducing conversion error while allowing for the evaluation of maritime traffic congestion by route.

Sometimes we need to acquire symbolic quantity of information instead of physical quantity for the output of any system. For instance we can not control traffic signal accurately through only the number of vehicles. At that case we can produce better output using symbolic quantity of road length and width and vehicle type. But it is very difficult to aggregate symbolic information from the unrelated and mutually conflicted input after calculating linear and related expression. Moreover that will take much time to produce symbolic output by the physical quantity only. In this paper we implemented the ultimate traffic control information by using fuzzy sensor algorithm and compared our results with the conventional traffic controller after studying the necessity of symbolic information in the traffic control.

최근 도로 네트워크 환경에서 날로 증가하는 교통 수요를 충족시키고 각종 교통 문제를 해결하기 위해서 지능형교통시스템(ITS, Intelligent Transportation System)을 적용하고 있다. 특히, 첨단교통정보 시스템(ATIS, Advanced Traveler Information System)은 개별 차량의 주행을 최적화시키는 시스템으로서 운전자에게 출발지에서 목적지까지 빠르고 쾌적한 주행경로를 제공하는 차량 경로계획 수립을 제공한다. 하지만 이러한 시스템은 도로 구간의 비용으로 정적인 값을 이용하므로 동적으로 변화하는 구간 비용을 가지고 도로 네트워크에서 최단 경로를 제공하기는 어렵다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 교통 혼잡을 고려한 최단 경로 탐색 연산자를 제안한다. 제안된 연산자는 현재 시간 비용과 과거의 시간 비용 변화 량을 더하여 출발지에서 목적지까지 경로를 탐색하는데 이용한다. 이러한 방법은 시간에 따라 변화하는 도로의 상황을 반영하며 출발지에서 목적지까지의 최단 경로뿐만 아니라 예상 도착 시간을 추정할 수 있다. 또한 제안된 연산자는 효율적인 도로 이용, 물류비용 감소, 응급 상황 대체, 연료 절약 및 환경 오염 감소 등의 장점을 가지며 첨단교통정보시스템에서 응용 될 수 있다.
