Delay reduction of vehicles at the intersection is highly dependent on the signal operation method. Most previous traffic operations have focused on minimizing delay by adjust traffic offset. However, these methods have limitation in solving traffic problem if the volume reaches or exceeds the capacity. In this paper, it was analyzed that the effectiveness of various signal operation methods such as left-turn prohibition, and using protected mixed with permitted left turn using the traffic data from Daejeon city. In case of the left-turn prohibition of a intersection, the control delay reduced from 54.2 seconds to 22.7 seconds and especially, the delay of the southbound was drastically reduced. In addition, the delay was highly reduced from 27.0 seconds to 12.1 seconds when the operation system was changed to use protected mixed with permitted left turn.

When pedestrians cross a pedestrian crossing during a pedestrian signal, there is a problem that pedestrians are exposed to the danger of traffic accidents due to permissive-left turning and right-turning vehicles. In order to solve this problem, there is an increasing demand to improve the traffic signal system to increase pedestrian safety at the signal crossing. This study aims to examine the feasibility of introducing a leading pedestrian interval(LPI) to prevent conflict between unprotected left and right turn vehicles and pedestrians. In this study, the need for LPI was surveyed by experts and the general public. As a result of the survey, many opinions indicated that the introduction of LPI was necessary. In addition, after selecting the non-protected left and right turn pilot operation targets, LPI was installed on two signal intersections. After installation, the speed analysis of the arrival vehicle in the pedestrian crossing and the violation rate of the pedestrian signal were analyzed. As a result of analysis, when the walking signal was equalized, the speed of the arriving vehicle in the pedestrian crossing was reduced, and the violation rate of the walking signal was improved.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of drivers' satisfaction over protected and permissive left-turn (PPLT) traffic signal operation. A structural equation model was established for analyzing the effectiveness of various drivers' factors (e.g., personal characteristics, driving attitude, expectation to PPLT, etc.) on the PPLT preference based on questionnaire survey. As a result, the analysis is satisfied with the critical values, such as Q value, RMR, GIF, AGIF, and NFI. The study reveals that PPLT preference increases in case of driver who is male with long social carrier related to transportation affaire and long driving experience without traffic accident involvement. Moreover, PPLT preference increases as the expectation of PPLT to improvement of traffic safety, traffic operation, and traffic environment increases. Therefore, it is recommended that the PPLT should be preferentially operated in urban area of less traffic accidents and the promotion of PPLT be actively conducted for positive effectiveness.

전통적인 신호제어모형은 다음의 두가지 결점을 내포하고 있다. 신호현시의 방법을 적정화하는 점이다. Rouphail(1990)은 전통적으로 행해온 신호주기와 녹색시간분할의 적정화에서 더 나아가 현시방법(signal timing)과 좌회전의 문제를 동시적으로 적정화 시킬 수 있는 모형을 제시한 바 있다. 그러나 Rouphail의 모형은 4개 현시에 국한되었고 현시방법(또는 현시의 선택)도 대단히 제약적이었다. 본연구는 이러한 Rouphail의 모형을 실제상황 에 보다 일반성있게 적용할 수 있도록 확장하는 연구이다. 여기서는 현시방법(또는 선택하는 현시으 형태와 수)을 확대시키고 또 연속변수와 이산변수를 동시에 적정화시키는 혼합정수선형계획법을 적용한 컴퓨터 모형을 구성하고 이를 사례 지역에 적용하엿다. 분석결과는 본 모형이 Rouphail 모형과 비교할 때 현시방법의 선택문제에 있어서 뿐만 아니라 좌회전(비보호, 보호 또는 혼합적)현시의 처리에 있어서 훨씬 더 효율적임을 확인하였다.

The presidential council on national competitiveness and the national police agency have initiated a national project to refresh the road traffic control and operation systems to increase operational efficiency at signalized intersections. It would reduce the number of stops and delay of vehicles at intersections and thus mitigate congestion and emission. Although significant reduction of carbon is expected as a consequential result, such effects has yet been studied since traffic operation was behind of interest in the field of green transportation where planning was mainly involved. This paper delivers the macroscopic effects of carbon reduction of the selected items of the national project: the ones managed by the police agency. The results showed that the studied items yield significant reduction of carbon: pedestrian push button operation, flashing signal operation, progression, lagging left turns, permitted left turn, and actuated left-turn operation would reduce 12.31%, 3.27%, 2.44%, 0.97%, 0.81%, and 0.72% of the total amount of carbon emitted a year in a whole transportation sector, respectively.

The Highway Capacity Manual(HCM) suggests estimating the average green time for the performance evaluation of the traffic actuated operation and Provides the average green time estimation model. However, the model provides with much room for improvements. This document proposes a new analytical model that overcomes the shortage of the HCM model. The average green times estimated by the HCM model and the proposed model were compared. A computer program using the proposed model was coded for the study, while the ACT348 program was used for the implementation of the HCM model Through the comparison study based on the 1,196 hypothetical simulation data surrogating field data, it was found that the average green times estimated by the proposed model yields much nicer one-to-one linear relationship to the simulation results than the ones from the HCM model in both exclusive-only and shared-permitted cases. The R2 values of the proposed and the HCM models with those cases are 0.90 and 0.56, and 0.86 and 0.57, respectively.

This study was intended to increase efficiency of traffic flow management on intersection. The result suggested to establish a left-turn at own risk lane to increase efficiency of traffic flow on intersection. The scope of the research was to investigate the geometric structure of a signal-controlled intersection, traffic volume(density) with respect to directions and traffic signal display, and to select a signalling intersection into which a car waiting for a traffic signal enters by adjusting the display sequence of traffic signal. The delay with respect to directions and for the whole intersection was compared for the current situation and an improvement plan. Using TSIS, a traffic analysis package, the traffic situation on an intersection was investigated. Based on the simulation result for Seok-Jeon intersection in Ma-San selected from the field investigation of intersections to which an improvement plans would be applicable, the waiting time in the direction without a entering traffic signal was decreased to be 78.6 seconds per car and that of the direction expecting the increase of waiting time was increased by 4 seconds per car only. It was confirmed that the waiting time for the whole intersection was improved.
