PURPOSES : In this study, the effects of when median exclusive bus lanes were applied to Daejeon trunk road (Wolpyeng crossway~Seodaejeon crossway, 6.3km) and (Daeduck Bridge 4~Kyeryong 4, 2.6km) by Microscopic Simulation VISSIM (5.0) was studied. The median exclusive bus lanes are one of the measures of transportation system manage techniques that can especially improve the efficiency of public transportation facilities. METHODS : According to the analysis of VISSIM on the Gyerong mainroad and Daedeok mainroad, when the median exclusive bus lanes were applied unlike when the roadside bus-only lanes were applied, the average travel speed of vehicles decreased but the average delay time and travel time increased. This arised from the changes in the geometric structure of the road which occurred the reduction of vehicle lane in the center of the road. RESULTS : In the case of bus, on the other hand, the average travel speed increased but the average delay time and travel time decreased. This is because the problems such as illegal parking and stopping, secondary road in out vehicle, and conflict of intersection right turn that roadside bus-only lanes occurred was solved. CONCLUSIONS : Although the introduction of median exclusive bus lanes will have a negative effect on general traffic flow due to the aggravation of travel, decrease of passenger car usage will lead to decrease of traffic volume. Therefore, smooth vehicle travel is expected.

Recently, road traffic congestion is becoming a serious urban phenomenon, leading to massive adverse impacts on the ecology and economy. Therefore, solving this problem has drawn public attention throughout the world. One new promising solution is to take full advantage of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In this study, we propose a new traffic congestion detection and quantification method based on vehicle clustering and fuzzy assessment in VANET environment. To enhance real-time performance, this method collects traffic information by vehicle clustering. The average speed, road density, and average stop delay are selected as the characteristic parameters for traffic state identification. We use a comprehensive fuzzy assessment based on the three indicators to determine the road congestion condition. Simulation results show that the proposed method can precisely reflect the road condition and is more accurate and stable compared to existing algorithms.

Today freeway is thought to be a very important transportation facility carrying tremendous traffic flow as the main corridor within the area of between the areas. However freeway is experiencing severe congestion and accidents by increased entrance ramp flow especially at peak time period. Ramp meters on the freeway entrance ramps that supply traffic to the freeway in a measured or appropriately regulated amount are needed for alleviating freeway congestion. Because ramp meters can be operated to discharge traffic at a measured or regulated rate thus maintaining more uniform speed on the mainline section maximizing the throughput to the freeway within the capacity of a downstream bottleneck and reducing the congestion related accidents. Thus the objectives in this study were to analyze the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 with ramp metering system before/after ITS technology in Detroit (Michigan) area compare shifts of the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 before/after ITS technology and finally suggest a better ramp metering strategy for the freeway system The following results were obtained: i)Flow occupancies and speeds on the mainline merge section of freeway were shown to be a big difference depending on the peak periods areas and directions based on the distribution of traffic flow characteristics on the freeway. ii)Reduced speed was shown to be more than 5 mph and ramp flow was also shown to be more than 240 vph at peak periods if there was the ramp metering system constructed on the freeway. iii)Ramp metering system was shown to be optimally operated on the freeway if ramp flow could be maximized within the range of over 900 vph and reduced occupancy could be also maximized by no more than 2 percent at peak periods. iv)The average flows on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be a decrease of over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those flow on the freeway before the ITS technology. over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those speeds on the freeway before the ITS technology. vi)The average metering rates on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be an increase of over 10% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those metering rates on the freeway before the ITS technology.

In this research, the behavior of weaving traffic is studied in terms of lane-changing behavior and gap acceptance characteristics. General trends in lane-changing behavior and gap acceptance characteristics are investigated by analyzing descriptive statistics and the factors affecting weaving behavior are determined by means of the multiple linear regression analysis. The results of analysis show that the behavior of weaving traffic is generally similar to that in a basic freeway section and an on- or of- ramp section. Traffic density and speed appear to be better parameters than traffic volume for explaining the behavior of weaving traffic. For the same purpose, using the traffic conditions of the origin and the destination lanes are found to be more effective than using the average traffic conditions of the freeway. A detailed analysis of the gap acceptance characteristics of late merging vehicles shows that there is no significant difference between the size of gaps accepted by late merging vehicles and that accepted by early merging vehicles.

Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS), so called "Hi-Pass" in Korea, has improved traffic flow at toll gate of highways. It is known that the improvement of traffic flow should reduce air pollutants and $CO_2$ from vehicles. In this study, real driving emission of a light duty truck with Portable Emission Measurement System(PEMS) has been measured to evaluate the emission reduction effect due to ETCS. The correlations between driving variables and emissions have been analyzed to verify its effect on traffic flow improvement and emission reduction at toll gate. We considered average vehicle speed, Relative Positive Acceleration (RPA), and the distance of queue as driving variables. Compared to passing Manual Toll Collection System (MTCS) lane without queue, ETCS was able to reduce 38.7% of $NO_x$, 21.6% of soot, and 27.7% of $CO_2$. The results showed that the higher the average vehicle speed, the lower RPA and no queue in ETCS contributed to the emission reductions. Linear equation models with RPA and queue have been established by the multiple linear regression method. The linear models resulted in the higher coefficient of determination than those with only average vehicle speed used for establishing vehicle emission factors.

화물차 군집주행이 화물교통량 증가에 따른 문제를 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 떠오르는 가운데, 화물차 군집주행이 교통류에 미치는 영향과 군집주행 전용차로 도입 효과를 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 교통량이 많고 화물차 혼입률이 높아질수록 화물차의 군집비율이 높아지고 최대 군집형성 규모가 증가함에 따라 군집주행으로 인한 평균속도 증가효과가 더 크게 나타났다. 하지만, 진출입 등으로 대기행렬이 발생한 경우에는 평균속도 증가효과는 기대하기 어려우며 오히려 처리량이 감소할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었으므로 접속부의 용량 확보 등 접속도로와 연계된 교통운영 전략이 필요하다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 군집 전용차로의 효과는 자율주행화물차 비율(MPR)이 100%가 되어 한 개 차로가 완전히 자율주행화물차만으로 운영될 경우에만 미 도입 시 보다 긍정적 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구는 국내 도로·교통 조건을 시나리오에 반영하여 군집주행의 영향을 종합적으로 분석하였으므로 구간별, 시간대별로 군집주행 및 전용차로의 영향을 가늠해 볼 수 있으며, 이는 향후 화물차 군집주행을 고려한 도로 운영전략 수립이나 관리에 기초자료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 버스정보가 도로의 통행속도 정보로 활용될 수 있는지를 검토하기 위한 연구이다. 도로통행속도를 파악하기 위해 설치된 지점검지기, 구간검지기로부터 수집되는 정보와 경기도에서 수집되는 버스정보를 속도정보로 가공하여 비교하였다. 버스정보가 교통정보 검지기의 기능을 할 수 있다면, 통행속도 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 도로구간의 교통류에 대한 패턴을 인식할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 접근방법보다는 기존에 검증된 방법을 중심으로 버스정보를 이용한 교통류 패턴 인식 방법을 적용하여 버스정보의 활용 가능성을 제시하였다. 또한 버스정보를 이용하여 모형을 추정하였는데, 단순이동, 지수평활법과 이중이동, 이중지수평활법, ARIMA(p,d,q)모형을 적용하였다. 이 모형들은 평가지표인 100-MAPE, MAE, EC로 비교한 결과 상호 비슷한 결과를 나타냈으나, 단순평균이동법이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 이로서 버스정보를 구간의 통행속도로 이용할 경우, 모형의 추정도 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

PURPOSES : Two-lane highways have one lane in each direction, and lane changing and passing maneuvers take place in the opposing lane depending on the availability of passing sight distance. 2001 Korea Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM) is classified into two classes of two-lane highways (Type I, II), and average travel speed and time-delayed rate are used as measures of effectiveness (MOEs). However, since existing two-lane highways have both uninterrupted and interrupted traffic flow-system elements, a variety of free-flow speeds exhibits in two-lane highways. In addition, it is necessary to check if the linear-relationship between volumes and time-delayed rate is appropriate. Then, this study is to reestablish the relationship between average travel speed, time-delayed rate, and flow. METHODS : TWOPAS model was selected to conduct this study, and the free-flow speeds of passenger cars and the percentage of following vehicles observed in two-lane highways were applied to the model as the input. The revised relationships were developed from the computer simulation. RESULTS : In the revised average travel speed vs. flow relationship, the free-flow speed of 90km/h and 70km/h were added. It shows that the relationship between time delayed-rate and flow appeared to be appropriate with the log-function form and that there was no difference in time-delayed rate between the free flow speeds. In addition to revise the relationships, the speed prediction model and the time-delayed rate prediction model were also developed. CONCLUSIONS : The revised relationships between average travel speed, time-delayed rate, and flow would be useful in estimating the Level of Service(LOS) of a two-lane highway.

본 연구에서는 끼어들기 위반단속시스템 개발을 위한 교통정체판정방법에 대한 실험적 연구결과를 제시하였다. 해당 정체판정 방법은 정체를 검지하여 끼어들기 위반단속시스템의 최적 구동기준을 결정하는데 목적이 있다. ITS 분야에서 일반적으로 정체판정은 구간통행속도를 기준으로 한다. 그러나 영상검지 방식적용 시 속도오차 등으로 인해 정체판정의 오류가 높게 나타날 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 현장실험을 통해 속도와 점유율을 종합적으로 고려한 방식을 제시하였다. 현장실험 결과 영상검지체계 기반의 끼어들기위반 단속시스템에서 정체판정 기준으로 속도의 경우 20km/h, 점유율의 경우 60% 이상의 조건을 적용할 경우 실제 정체상황과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었고, 정확도를 높일 수 있었다.

Herman과 Prigogine에 의해 제안된 Two-fluid Model은 네트워크에서 거시교통류를 분석하는데 유용하다. Two-fluid Model은 정지차량 비율과 네트워크 평균속도의 관계를 통해 네트워크를 분석하는 것으로, 주로 신호 혹은 비신호교차로가 다수 존재하는 도시부 교통망에 적용되어왔다. 일반적으로 네트워크의 교통수요가 증가함에 따라 네트워크 내 평균주행속도와 평균통행속도 모두 감소하며, 네트워크 내 정지차량의 비율과 정체로 인한 저속차량의 비율도 증가한다. 본 연구는 정체상황을 고려한 Two-fluid Model을 제안하였다. 정체상황을 구분하는 임계속도와 정체상황이 네트워크에 미치는 가중치는 평균 제곱근 편차(RMSE)를 최소화하도록 값을 정산하여 적용하였다. 서울시 네트워크의 임계속도는 약 34 kph로 나타났으며, 정체상황이 네트워크에 미치는 영향의 가중치는 약 0.61로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 Model은 기존 Model에 비하여 $R^2$가 0.78에서 0.99로 크게 증가하였으며, 파라미터의 값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이는 제안한 Model이 네트워크 및 신호운영 평가에 사용될 가능성이 있음을 의미한다.
