본 논문의 목적은 링크통행시간 자료를 수집하는 시스템에서 소요 프로브차량대수에 영향을 주는 요소들을 규명하고. 최적의 소요 프로브차량대수를 결정하는 모형을 개발하는데 있다. 자가용승용차, 택시, 버스, 택배차량 등 여러 종류의 차량들이 프로브차량으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 일정한 정확도 이상의 교통정보를 수집하기 위해서 얼마나 많은 프로브차량이 필요한지에 대한 연구는 그다지 깊이 있게 이루어지지 않았다. 적정 소요 프로브차량대수는 링크통행시간 자료수집 기술 수집대상 링크의 공간적 범위, 프로브차량의 종류 및 운행 특성, 자료수집 시스템의 신뢰도, 수집되는 자료의 정확도 등에 영향을 받게 된다. 소요 프로브차량대수를 결정하는 링크당 평균 통행시간 자료수, 프로브차량 밀도의 최소 확률, 그리고 자료 미수집링크의 허용비율의 3가지 결정기준이 정의되었다. 또한 이러한 결정기준에 대해 소요 프로브차량대수를 산출하는 모형이 개발되었다. 일반적으로 주기당, 링크당 평균 필요 통행시간 자료수$(d_R)$, 단위길이당 프로브차량의 대수 또는 밀도$(n_{min} or {\alpha})$, 일정 프로브차량밀도 이상의 확률($\beta$), 그리고 자료 미수집링크의 비율($\gamma$)이 클수록 소요 프로브차량대수는 증가한다. 민간 교통정보회사의 통행시간 수집시스템에서 소요 프로브차량대수를 산정하는 사례연구가 수행되었으며, 여러가지 조건에서 소요 프로브차량대수가 산출되었다.

This study aims to calculate reliable sectional travel speeds with the consideration of the characteristics of the probe data collected in the interrupted traffic flow. First, in order to analysis the characteristics of the probe data, we looked into the distribution of the sectional travel times of each probe vehicle and compared the difference in the sectional travel speeds of each probe vehicle collected by DSRC. As a result, it is shown that outliers should be removed for the distribution of the sectional travel times. However, The comparison results show that the sectional travel speeds from the DSRC probe vehicles are not significantly different. Finally, based on the distribution characteristics of the sectional travel speeds of each probe vehicle and the representative values counted during a collection period, we drew the optimal outlier removal procedure and evaluated the estimation errors. The evaluation results showed that the DSRC sectional travel speeds were found to be similar to the observed values from actually running vehicles. On the contrary, in the case of the sectional travel speeds of intra-city bus, it was analyzed that they were less accurate than the DSRC sectional travel speeds. In the future, it will be necessary to improve BIS process and make use of the travel information on intra-city buses collected in real time to find various ways of applying it as traffic information.

열.유체유동 중 난류에 대한 유동현상은 매우 광범위한 영역에서 나타나기 때문에 그 응용성이 매우 크게 작용되어 상업용 설비, 항공기, 자동차, 연소기 및 각종 스포츠 등에 이르기까지 넓게 적용되고 있다. 본 계측법은 특히 기하학적 형상에 좌우되지 않는 범용데이터 처리와 결부시켜 이용하는 것으로 최근 컴퓨터의 보급이 활발히 정착됨에 따라 보다 정확한 방법으로 난류의 정량적인 자료와 정성적인 난류구조를 계측하기 위하여 컴퓨터와 온라인으로 연결한 열선한 열 선유속계의출력을 통계해석에 의해 분석하는 방법이 시도되고 있는 것이다. 끝으로 이 글에서 언급한 삼축 열선 프로브는 프로브의 제작에 대한 고도의 기술과 프로브의 겁사체적을 되도록 작게 해야 하는 과제를 안고 있으며, 이러한 문제들은 제작기술의 발달로 점차 해결되고 있으며 적용대상이 크기 때문에 앞으로 많이 이용 될 것으로 기대되는 바이다.

유속을 측정하기 위한 다양한 기법들 가운데 양방향 저속 차압 프로브(bi-directional low velocity pressure probe)는 고온의 연소생성물이 존재하는 조건에서 화재유동장의 속도 측정에 가장 적합한 방법으로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 양방향 유속계의 프로브 상수(probe constant)는 레이놀즈 수와 유동과 프로브의 받음각(attack angle)에 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 화재유동장 측정 기법들을 비교 평가하고 양방향 유속계의 받음각에 따른 프로브 상수의 변화를 실험적으로 평가하여 양방향 유속계의 측정 오차를 정량함으로서 화재 유동장 측정의 신뢰성 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

Bicycle is a useful transportation mode that is healthy, emission-free, and environmentally compatible. Although large efforts have been made to promote the use of bicycling to date, there still exist various hurdles and limitations. One of the key issues to increase bicycling is how to gather bicycle-related data from the field and to generate valuable information for both users and operations agencies. This study proposes a method to process bicycle trajectory data which is obtained from tracing global positioning systems(GPS) equipped bicycle, which is defined as the probe bicycle. The proposed method is based on the concept of statistical quality control of data. In addition, a data collection and processing scenario in support of public bicycle system is presented. The outcomes of this study would be valuable fundamentals for developing bicycle traffic information systems that is a part of future intelligent transportation systems(ITS).

Information collection systems and applications in a ubiquitous environment has emerged as a leading issue in transportation and logistics. A productive application example is a traffic information collection system based on probe vehicles and wireless communication technology. Estimation of hourly OD pairs using probe OD data is a possible target. Since probe OD data consists of sample OD pairs, which vary over time and space, computation of sample rates of OD pairs and expansion of sample OD pairs into static OD pairs is required. In this paper, the authors proposed a method to estimate sample OD data with probe data in Jeju City and expand those into static OD data. Mean absolute percentage difference (MAPD) error between observed traffic volume and assigned traffic volume was about 22.9%. After removing abnormal data, MAPD error improved to 17.6%. Development of static OD estimation methods using probe vehicle data in a real environment is considered the main contribution of this paper.

Probe-based systems have been gaining popularity in advanced traveler information systems. However, the high possibility of providing inaccurate travel-time information due to the inherent time-lag phenomenon is still an important issue to be resolved. To mitigate the time-lag problem, different prediction techniques have been applied, but the techniques are generally regarded as less effective for travel times with high variability. For this reason, current 5-min aggregated data have been commonly used for real-time travel-time provision on highways with high travel-time fluctuation. However, the 5-min aggregation interval itself can further increase the time-lags in the real-time travel-time information equivalent to 5 minutes. In this study, a new scheme that uses both individual probe and 5-min aggregated travel times is suggested to provide reliable real-time travel-time information. The scheme utilizes individual probe data under congested conditions and 5-min aggregated data under uncongested conditions, respectively. As a result of an evaluation with field data, the proposed scheme showed the best performance, with a maximum reduction in travel-time error of 18%.

In this study, we used individual trip data to estimate a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) that relates flow (or production) to density (or state) in Daegu metropolitan city. The individual trip data were generated by processing data that were collected from DSRC-based (dedicated short range communication) traffic data collection system. Using the processed individual trip data, we first examined whether the assumptions for MFD are valid, and then the relation between outflow and accumulation was estimated in our study site. As a result, we found that i) the assumptions are valid to construct MFD; and ii) the reproducible and well-defined MFDs exist in the network level.

Understanding various casual factors affecting the occurrence of freeway traffic crash is a backbone of deriving effective countermeasures. The first step toward understanding such factors is to identify crash risks on freeways. Unlike existing studies, this study focused on the unsafe vehicle maneuvering that can be detected by in-vehicle sensors. The recent advancement of sensor technologies allows us to gather and analyze detailed microscopic events leading to crash occurrence such as the abrupt change in acceleration. This study used an accelerometer to capture the unsafe events. A set of candidate variables representing unsafe events were derived from analyzing acceleration data obtained by the accelerometer. Then, the crash risk was modeled by the binary logistic regression technique. The probabilistic outcome of crash risk can be provided by the proposed model. An application of the methodology assessing crash risk was presented, and further research items for the successful field implementation were also discussed.
