This paper estimates relationships between the supply of national highways, measured in lane-km, and the quantity of traffic, measured in vehicle-km traveled. The analysis uses a panel data set of annual observations for the years 1984 to 2003. By using a log-linear lag effect model designed to capture short and long term effects, the paper estimates that national highway vehicle-km traveled has a lane-km elasticity of 0.268 at the country level (Non-Seoul Metropolitan area) and 0.41 at the Seoul metropolitan area for the short term. For the long term, the paper estimates 0.8 for the country level and 1.23 for the Seoul metropolitan area. This paper finds conclusive evidence that increases in highway lane-miles have generated traffic over the period of study, however the increasing ratio of the generated traffic decreases gradually, particularly during the late 1980s.

교통영향평가는 1985년 서울시에서 실시된 이후 사업 시행자에 의해 개발지 주변 도로 교통상황을 개선하는데 크게 기여하여 왔으며 향후 이러한 교통유발 원인자 부담원칙 에 의한 교통개선체제는 지방 자치화 시대를 맞이하여 계속 유지될 전망이다. 하지만 교통 영향 평가시 도로개선의 판단 기중이 되는 개발에 따른 교통발생 예측량이 평가자에 따라 상이한 결과가 나타나고 이에 따른 상이한 주변 도로 서비스수준(LOS)이 도출되어 합리적 교통처리 방안 제시에 문제가 되고 있다. 이러한 문제는 광역적 교통량 예측 프로그램 이 용, 상이한 통행 발생원단위 사용, 그리고 일률적 교통량 예측범위에 기인한다. 따라서 본 연구는 교통영향 평가시 국내와 미국의 교통량 예측 방법 비교·분석을 통해 합리적 교통량 예측방법을 제시하였다.

An important factor that causes delays at roundabouts is unbalanced traffic conditions. The majority of domestic studies have tendedto focus on the proportion of entering traffic rather than conflicting traffic in order to explain unbalanced traffic conditions. Also, there is scant research on the proper distance between a signalized intersection and a roundabout. In this study, therefore, unbalanced traffic conditions and optimal distance between two intersections were analyzed using SIDRA software based on the Gajwa-ro roundabout in Icheon, where unbalanced traffic conditions occur during afternoon peak hours, and its position is 295 m from a signalized intersection. It was found that a state of unbalanced traffic conditions in the form of conflicting traffic caused delays at Gajwa-ro roundabout, and the queuing length on each approach was removed when there was 850 m of distance between two intersections.

In case of land development projects constructed, to solve induced transportation volume needs analysis of traffic demand. Trip-generation of land development projects is exactly predicted by using traffic instigating-basic-unit in each facility of land developments. But in case of a phase of trip-distribution, because a range of destinations is very enormous and it needs enormous data to reflect all of its characters, whenever trip-distribution is predicted, the method which assumes the rate of trip-distribution is same both before completion of land development projects and after is often used. But because there is no exact criterion, the method suggested above is also affected by subjective opinion. Accordingly, this study look over using trip-distribution of specific areas's DB and suggests a size of zone to predict a distribution of land development projects exactly. Also production - constrained gravity model which uses the gap between a distribution of suggested ranges and induced land development project is suggested for more exact prediction of trip-distribution. Besides accuracy of prediction is scrutinized by using Mean Squared Error.

산업이 고도화 되면서 기계장비의 중량화와 고속화가 가속되어지고 있으며, 이로 인하여 과다한 진동과 소음을 유발시키고 있다. 특히 교통량이 많은 도로변의 건물 및 주택가에 소음공해가 심하며, 고속도로 및 철도연변의 건물 및 주택가는 비록 차음벽을 설치하여 많은 소음을 차단해 주지만 미흡한 상태다. 또한 철도 진동이 주위 건물 기초로 전파하여 건물의 진동을 유발하여 건물벽체가 갈라짐의 원인이 될 수 있다. 따라서, 교통 소음이 심한 장소에서는 차음율이 높은 재료를 사용하여 공기음을 차단하며, 건물의 유리창은 가능한 한 2겹유리(pair glass)를 사용한다. 또한 철도 연변의 건물기초는 베어링 페드를 사용하여 지반으로 전파되는 진동을 차단하여 줌으로써 안락한 주거환경 및 근무환경을 조성하리라 생각한다.

서울을 비롯한 대도시의 자동차에 대한 대기환경 오염물질 배출량은 앞으로도 계속 가속화될 것이며 교통량의 증가에 따른 교통난, 각종 사고유발과 함계 환경오염 문제는 심각한 요인으로 등장할 것이다. 도로에서 자동차는 이제 사고뿐만이 아닌 달리는 오염물질 생산기로서 자동차의 배출가스를 줄이기 위해서는 기술적 연구 못지않게 자동차 생산 및 정비에 종사하는 사람들 그리고 운전자 개개인의 바람직한 운전습관, 운전자세 등의 노력이 매우 중요하다.

현재의 철도, 도로망 등의 각 중심측 및 간선측의 주요 교통시설은 이미 포화 상태가 되어 물류비용의 증가를 초래하고, 배기 가스를 비롯한 환경오염 문제를 유발하고 있기 때문에 이에 대한 해결방안이 시급한 실정이다. 이러한 상황에서 고속전철은 대기 오염을 일으키지 않으면서 신속$.$대량 수송이 가능하여 교통량을 대량으로 흡수할 수 있는 주요 교통 수단으로 인식되고 있다.(중략)

This research focuses on the warrants for the Two-Way Left-Turn Lanes (TWLTL). Using a microscopic traffic simulation tool, two key parameters were investigated herewith. One is a wide range of the Design Hourly Volume (DHV), reflective of recent Korean roadway volume characteristics, that is conventionally reduced from the Average Daily Traffic (ADT). The other is driveway spacing, the length of the middle-lane section where two conflicting left-turn demands often compete for space. In addition, unlike previous researches, the way and the procedure the TWLTL operation is realized in the VISSIM S/W with its add-on application such as VISVAP is clearly stated and described in detail. According to the result of simulations for 10 volume scenarios, as expected, the higher the volume level is, the more delay the left-tuner experience. The Level Of Service (LOS) for most cases was in the range of C and D based on the non-signalized intersection LOS criteria. Furthermore, the TWLTL was found operable up to the volume level of 1,116 and 1,860 vph in heavy direction (equivalent of volume level 7) for 3-lane and 5-lane facility respectively, which covers significant portion of existing two to four-lane highway volumes in Korea.

The adverse weather is known as a factor that interrupts traffic flow and causes traffic accidents and traffic congestion by lowering visibility of drivers. Especially, in case of fog unlike any other weather conditions, traffic accidents lead to serious accidents and the fatality of the accidents is known to be high. This paper aims to analyze uninterrupted traffic flow characteristics under foggy conditions among adverse weathers. The traffic volumes and speeds under foggy and normal conditions were analyzed. Results indicated that fog with low visibility causes the most insignificant reduction in traffic volumes. On the other hand, the reduction in the speeds due to low visibility was evident. In addition, the relationship between flow, speed, and density in fog were analyzed. Analysis results showed that the fog with less than 200m visibility had clear impact on traffic flow.
