첨단 교통정보 시스템(ATIS)의 핵심요소라고 할 수 있는 동적경로안내 시스템 (Dynamic Route Guidance System)은 운전자가 목적지에 도착하기까지 실시간 교통정보를 토대로 최적경로를 안내해줌으로써 날로 심화되고 있는 교통혼잡을 최소화 할 수 있으리라 기대를 모으고 있다. 특히 교통사고나 긴급 도로공사 등으로 인해 발생하는 돌발적 교통혼잡하에서는 DRGS의 역할이 더욱 커질 것으로 예상되고 있다. 본 논문은 돌발적 교통혼잡하에서 보다 효과적인 DRGS의 경로안내 전략을 수립하고 평가하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 우선 하부구조기반 DRGS와 개인차량기반 DRGS의 장단점을 비교하고 시스템 아키텍쳐와 경로안내전략의 관계를 규명하였다. 또한 효율적인 경로안내를 위해 사용자평형 (User Equilibrium) 경로안내전략과 시스템 최적화(System Optimal) 경로안내 전략을 이상형교통망 (Idealized Network)을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 그리고 돌발적 교통 혼잡하에서 사용자평형 경로 안내를 사용할 경우 야기될 수 있는 Braess Paradox 문제와 시스템 최적경로안내를 사용할 경우 일어날 수 있는 사용자 호응도(User Compliance) 문제를 동시에 감안한 적응 형 경로안내 전략을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 위의 경로 안내 전략들이 가지고 있는 장단점을 상황에 따라 평가하여 경로안내 전략을 선택하는 과정을 수행시간을 절약하지 못할 것으로 평가되면 사용자 호응도를 고려하여 사용자 평형 전략을 선택하도록 하였다. 돌발적 교통 혼잡하에서 통행 시간을 동적으로 예측하기 위해서는 이산 확정적 대기행렬모형 (Discrete Deterministic Queueing Model)이 적용되었다. 한편, 적응형 전략의 효율성을 평가하기 위 해 이상형교통망과 실제 미국 Virginia 주의 Fairfax Country에 소재한 주간 고속도로 66번 과 인접 교통망을 대상으로 각종 돌발교통혼잡상황을 전제로 한 Traffic Simulation과 정보 제공 시나리오를 INTEGRATION Model을 사용하여 실행하였다. 그 결과 적응형전략이 단지 사용자평형 경로안내전략만 사용하는 경우에 비해 교통 혼잡도와 유고상황의 체류정도에 따라 3%에서 10%정도까지 전체통행시간을 절약할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

The purpose of this study is to contribute the use of special taxi for the transportation vulnerable such as elderly and pregnant woman in terms of improving transportation mobility and extending social participation. We analyzed the DB users of STS system operating in Suwon, and surveyed the preference statement. Specifically, we have built transportation mode choice models for the elderly and pregnant woman, and then we drew the activating STS plan by comparing influence factors for each model. Based on the results of the study, 23% of STS user was the elderly people and pregnant women, 31% of user was for hospital passage purpose, and short-haul passage within 2 ~ 5km was 70% level of the passage. According to preference survey results between STS and Bus, fare was the highest impact factor in the mode choices for the elderly, and the participants who are older and car owners have been found to prefer the special taxi. For the pregnant woman, travel time and fare were the main influence factors of choices, and it was discovered that they preferred the special taxi when they are car owners and trips was frequented. Also, if the fare of special taxi is about 70% of the regular taxi fare, The share rates of Special Taxi comparing to bus for the elderly and pregnant woman are analyzed to be 51.1% and 63.6% each. Therefore, the adjustment of the fare would be effective to encourage the use of the special taxi. The results of this study can be used as a basis for establishing the rational fare structure of the special taxi.

VMS(Variable Message Sign) helps drivers to choose their path to destinations on roadways. Some types of VMS often provide traffic information with clearly visible and comprehensible graphical route diagrams. Currently many diagramed types of VMS are installed on urban arterial and highways. This type of VMS surely enhances drivers' ability to comprehend traffic route information while they are driving on the roadway. Nevertheless, some of them are presented with so much information and design elements and they sometimes lead to decline of drivers' comprehensible level for traffic information. Drivers would fail to decide their preferable route in this state of information overflow. The purpose of this paper is to develop a drivers preference model for effective design principle including size and height of displaying font, and the amount of information in the route diagram considering driving speed, sex and age of the driver. This model is developed using structural equation modeling techniques. This model considers driver's emotional factor and, human factor and design component of route diagram. To collect data, we built driving simulator which is able to replicate real driving condition. 72 people who participated in the simulation were selected considering gender and age. The developed model showed that the amount of information, and visibility are more influential factors to the drivers' preference of the route diagram on VMS than design elements such as the shape and the font of the diagram.

The homogeneous road section is defined as one consisted of similar traffic characteristics focused on demand and supply. The criteria, in the aspect of demand, are the diverging rate and the ratio of green time to cycle time at signalized intersection, and distance between the signalized intersections. The criteria, in that or supply, are the traffic patterns such as traffic volume and its speed. In this study, the effective method to generate valuable data, pointing out the problems of removal method of obscure data, is proposed using data collected from Gonjiam IC to Jangji IC on the national highway No.3. Travel times are collected with licence matching method and traffic volume and speed are collected from detectors. Futhermore, the method of selecting homogeneous road section is proposed considering demand and supply aspect simultaneously. This method using outlier filtering algorithm can be applied to generate the travel time forecasting model and to revise the obscured of missing data transmitting from detectors. The point and link data collected at the same time on the rational highway can be used as a basis predicting the travel time and revising the obscured data in the future.

Gyeongbu and Namhae expressways in the country, are the major arterial highways which are connected with the Busan port in the north-south and east-west directions, respectively, and required to study the traffic characteristics about the hourly volume factors(K-factor) by concentrated midium-size and large-size cargo trucks of 20% or higher in expressways. We therefore attempted to predict the K-factor in expressways through the correlation analysis between K-factor and K-factor estimates on the basis of the short-term VDS data collected at the basic segments of the above major expressways. As a result, power model appeared to be appropriate in predicting K-factor by the K-factor estimate based on VDS data for 7 days with a high explanatory power and validity.

The congestion of pedestrians impedes the utilization efficiency of a subway station. Conflicts among pedestrians due to unseparated pedestrian flows not only increase the impedance of pedestrian mobility but also negatively affect on pedestrian safety. This paper analyzes the travel characteristics of bi-directional pedestrian flow based on microscopic movements, and evaluates the operation efficiency on separating the traffic line. The subway station was simulated in a 2-D grid structure by applying Discrete Element Method, and the movement is organized in each cell of the grid. As a result, the model explicates that separating the traffic line and encouraging the 'Keep right rule' would be mostly effective for the conflicting flows. Therefore, applying the 'Walking Guidance System' would be efficient to improve the pedestrian convenience and mobility.

The conventional method for solving transportation problems were mainly based on numerical methods, where the understanding of outputs is not easy. Some difficulties come from the seperation of three key steps-the preparation of input for transportation traffic simulation, and model output interpretation. GSIS can help to eliminate some of thoses difficulties by combining graphics, database, and transportation plaining models. As pilot study, this study shows an application of Geovision GSIS to TRANPLAN transportation planning model that is based on four-step travel demand forecasting procedure. Accrued benefits and procedure are presented.

The variable message sign(VMS) is a facility to smoothen traffic flows and enable safe passing by providing real-time necessary information on roads, weather, transportation, and traffic regulations. The VMS also solves a feeling of uneasiness and gives a sense of psychological security by providing information to drivers. However, the VMS has a strong character of being a non-market product but a public product, so it has not normally been evaluated for its value. This research has evaluated a value of satisfaction level for traffic information users, using a contingent valuation method(CVM). As a result of evaluating the value of satisfaction level for users through division into an urban roadway and an urban highway for the cities where an intelligent transportation system(ITS) has been established, the urban highway had a value of 96.7 won/system and the urban roadway had a value of 76.3 won/system.

Roundabouts have been spreading out all over the world quickly with their attractions including capacity enhancement, safety increase and pollutant emission decrease. The history of Korean roundabout has already been 10 years. However, due to the accumulation of unclear right of way and insufficient data, the advantages of the roundabout are not fully utilized so far. Moreover, there are some differences in the capacity model of roundabouts compared to overseas capacity models. In addition, most research tend to concentrate in evaluation of roundabout performance using computer software. This paper, therefore, investigated overseas typical roundabout capacity models; empirical model and gap acceptance model, and then KHCM 2013 was compared to SIDRA model and USHCM 2010 model. It is expected that this paper will assist and guide practitioners in analyzing and estimating roundabout capacity more precise.
