The objective of study is to examine relationship between traffic flow characteristics of two lane entrance terminal and acceleration length, and to suggest the acceleration length by level of service. The relationship between the speed ratio and the distance from the ramp appeared to be a quadratic concave from. In the case of two lane entrance ramp, the acceleration length is suggested as 1.4~2.0 times longer than the acceleration length of one lane entrance ramp. It is also recommended that acceleration length for two lane entrance ramp should be designed according to the level of service at the right most lane (level of service A : 1.4 B : 1.6 C : 1.8 D : 2.0 times of the one lane entrance ramp acceleration length) on freeway.

본 논문에서는 주행차량의 차선이탈상태를 경보해 주는 차선이탈경보시스템을 제안하였다. 도로상의 황색차선의 컬러값을 흑백레벨로 변환한 후 원래의 그 픽셀에 대한 흑백레벨과 더함으로서 황색차선에 대해 강조하는 방법을 이용하여 특정의 유색정보에 대한 인식률을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구의 컬러정보처리를 이용한 차선이탈경보시스템은 차량의 도로 주행 시 황색차선에 대한 강조처리로 차선인식률을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 컬러영상정보를 처리함에 있어서 실시간 고성능으로 처리하는 고속의 시스템을 얻을 수 있게 되었다. 따라서 본 시스템을 이용한 차선이탈경보장치는 도로주행 차량의 안전주행을 보장할 수 있을 것이다.

Lane-level vehicle positioning is an important task for enhancing the accuracy of in-vehicle navigation systems and the safety of autonomous vehicles. GPS (Global Positioning System) and DGPS (Differential GPS) are generally used in navigation service systems, which however only provide an accuracy level up to 2~3 m. In this paper, we propose a 3D vision based lane-level positioning technique which can provides accurate vehicle position. The proposed method determines the current driving lane of a vehicle by tracking the 3D position of traffic signs which stand at the side of the road. Using a stereo camera, the 3D tracking paths of traffic signs are computed and their projections to the 2D road plane are used to determine the distance from the vehicle to the signs. Several experiments are performed to analyze the feasibility of the proposed method in many real roads. According to the experimental results, the proposed method can achieve 90.9% accuracy in lane-level positioning.

Two-Lane, two-way roads account for approximately 92% of total road length in Korea and accomplish the majority of regional transport activities. Nevertheless not too many research have been made on two-lane roads particularly efficiency related topics such as capacity and travel time studies. In this study a full scale data collection was conducted using video equippments on rural two-lane roads to determine capacity Passenger Car Equivalents(PCE) and Level of Service criterion. Various PC programs were utilized to reduce traffic data and Walker ME? and Headway Method were employed to determine PCE's for heavy vehicles. The reseach has shown that capacity and PCE's for two-land two-way roads in Korea are 3200 pcph and 1.1∼1.9 resectively. In addition percent time delay was used as the basis of developing Level of service criterion on two-lane roads in Korea.

Presently, Weekend Buses only lane system is in force in Gyung-Bu Highway causes traffic delay at the northern of Su-won IC and have reduced the efficiency of Highway. To solve this problems, Buses only lane system is working at the northern of Su-won IC should be charged over from Median Buses only lane system to Curb Buses only lane system. It makes good effects on reducing weaving occurs when cars change lane, traffic accidents, ease control on violation cars, improving Level of Service in the Ramp, etc.

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 논문에서는 주행하는 차량에 탑재된 카메라에서 획득한 도로 영상에서 차선의 색상을 판별하는 방법을 제안하였다. 자동차의 자율주행기술에 있어 차선 정보는 차선이탈방지(ldws), 능동적 차선유지(lkas), 고속도로주행보조(hda) 등의 자율주행의 레벨(level)이 올라갈수록 중요하다. 특히 차선의 색상, 특히 흰색 및 황색 차선의 구별은 교통사고와 직접적인 관련이 있는 정보이기에 더욱 필요한 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 주행 차선 검출 결과를 기반으로 차선 및 도로의 관심 영역을 추출하고 각 영역의 컬러 정보를 2차원 S-색상 공간으로 투영하였다. S-공간에 투영된 색상의 특징 분포에서 개선된 mean-shift 알고리즘을 이용하여 특징의 무게중심을 구하였다. 좌, 우 차선과 도로영역의 색상특징의 중심점들 사이의 거리 정보를 이용하여 차선의 색상을 판별하였다. 다양한 조명환경에서 약 97%의 색상 인식 성공률을 보였다.

현재 HCM 신호교차로의 운영평가는 차로군 단위로 이루어져 차로별 고유 특성을 일반화하여 실제교통류 특성을 반영하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 별도의 추가적인 자료수집을 요구하지 않고 현 HCM 분석방법과 관련 software를 활용하여 신호교차로 운영을 차로별로 분석하는 단계별 절차를 제시하였다. 차로별 분석결과는 현재 HCM 차로군 분석결과와 차로별 분석이 가능한 호주 HCM 분석방법을 따르는 aaSIDRA의 결과와 비교분석하였다. 차로별 분석방법은 현 HCM 방법에 비해 HCM 지체도 산정공식중 증분지체의 민감도에 따른 영향으로 미미하게 높은 지체도를 보였다. 포화도와 대기행렬길이 등의 부가적인 효과척도는 두 방식이 유사한 결과를 보였고 aaSIDRA와의 결과비교에서는 비보호좌회전차로의 분석결과를 제외하고는 유사한 결과를 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 차로별 분석방법은 보다 미시적인 신호교차로 분석을 통해 현 분석 방법의 취약점을 보완할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

PURPOSES : This study analyzed the lane-by-lane traffic flow characteristics in Korea by using real-world data, including congestion levels, for 2-, 3-, and 4-lane freeways. METHODS : On the basis of a literature review, lane flow and speed characteristics were analyzed using flow measurements and speed ratios. In addition, the effect of congestion levels on traffic flow were visualized using rescaled cumulative plots. RESULTS : Driver behavior varied depending on the congestion level. During free-flow conditions, the lane-use ratio of individual lanes varied largely, whereas during congestion, the ratio was nearly the same for all lanes (i.e., equilibrium). During maximum-flow and congestion conditions, the median lane was used more than the shoulder lane, whereas during all other conditions, the shoulder lane had a higher lane-use ratio. In 3- or 4-lane freeways, the lane-use ratio of the median lane always exceeded 1 and was the highest during free-flow conditions. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the present analysis can be used as an index to predict congestion before a lane is overcapacitated. Moreover, the results can be applied in variable lane guidance systems, such as car navigation systems and variable message displays, to control traffic flow.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology to estimate level of service of arterial including Exclusive Median Bus Lanes. METHODS : On 6 Exclusive Median Bus Lanes routes in Seoul, bus travel time and number of bus-stop per km were investigated. Also whether or not passing lane exists at bus-stop was checked. Based on the data from sites, bus travel time was estimated according to length of segment, number of bus-stop per km and whether or not passing lane exists at bus-stop. RESULTS : A bus travel time table was developed according to length of segment, number of bus-stop per km and whether or not passing lane exists at bus-stop. After bus travel speed and passenger car travel speed is estimated based on each travel time table and length of segment, two speeds are combined with weighted average speed using traffic volume of each lane group. Then weighted average speed is a measure of effectiveness of arterial including Exclusive Median Bus Lanes. CONCLUSIONS : It can be concluded that the proposed methodology can estimate level of service of arterial including Exclusive Median Bus Lanes considering the operation characteristics of Exclusive Median Bus Lanes.
