This study aims to evaluate the performance of Hook-turn operation with various sizes of bicycle waiting zone(WZ) and to determine the optimal size of bicycle WZ under various traffic and control circumstances. An extensive simulation study was performed to examine bicycle and vehicle delay trends for given experimental design. Results showed that vehicle delay was insensitive to the size of waiting zone, but bicycle delay was reduced as the size of waiting zone increased in general. The delay performance indicated a similar trend between with RTOR and without RTOR operation, but vehicle delay slightly increased and bicycle delay slightly decreased without RTOR. Regarding to optimal waiting zone size, 6 WZ was recommended for general conditions with RTOR, but 9 WZ was recommended when bicycle left-turn volume was greater than 120 v/h. 6 WZ was recommended for general conditions without RTOR, but 12 WZ was recommended when bicycle left-turn volume was greater than 90 v/h.

Korean Highway Capacity Manual applies 7 adjustment factors to estimate saturation flows at signalized intersections. Among the adjustment factors, the right-turn adjustment factor uses equation hard to understand and requires complicated computing process comparing other adjustment factors. Thus. this study was conducted in order to suggest a new technique of estimating the right-turn adjustment factor which is easy to understand and simple to computer by having reasonable degree of accuracy. In this study the right-turn saturation flow ratios which are important in estimating the factor are suggested and the equation to estimate the volume of right-turn on red signal(RTOR) is developed based on observed data. The right-turn saturation flow rates can be estimated according to turning radius and number of lanes of crossing road dividing right-turn lanes into canalized and uncanalized lanes. The RTOR volume is estimated using the proportion of the time during which RTOR is possible to the whole time of red signal according to the through traffic volume per lane of the approach at signalized intersections. The technique of estimating the right-turn adjustment factor suggested in this study, which follows the HCM2000 of U.S. in principal, first judges the right-turn lane to be used exclusively for right-turn or not by employing the RTOR factor and the judging equation developed in this study. Next, if the right-turn lane is not exclusive right-turn lane, the shared right-turn lane is classified into single lane approach or multi lane approach. Thus, a total of three methods of estimating the right-turn adjustment factor to the three cases are suggested in this study.

This study is about throughput analysis of the shared right turn lane at signalized intersection with lane width change. It is expected that the increased width of the right turn shared lane causes to increase the volume of right turn on red(RTOR) In this study, the throughput computation is designed to take into account the lost time which is caused by the blocked right turn due to the stop of through traffic. The saturation flow rate of right turn using the rest of lane after through traffic stops is included as well. Results show that the different RTOR volume levels due to the various shared lane width leads to a difference in throughput. For the shared right turn lanes. throughput capacity for various lane widths is bigger than that of the KHCM as much as from 1.1 to 2.1 times.

본 연구에서는 인터넷통신에서 트래픽의 혼잡 제어를 억압하여 성능을 향상시키는데 중점을 둔다. 무선통신에서 미디어 액세스 제어를 제공하지 않기 때문에, ATM이나 인터넷 네트워크에 혼잡이 발생하면 쓰루풋이 낮아지는 것이 경우가 있다. 이런 효과를 입증하기 위해서 인터넷 네트워크 혼잡 발생 시 트래픽에서 TCP 쓰루풋 반응을 발생하기 때문에 링크사용 및 버퍼점유에 정보를 사용하여 혼잡을 알릴 수 있고, ACK 지연을 다양한 네트워크 노드를 통하여 트래픽 제어를 구현하며 버퍼에서 패킷 손실을 RTOr을 응용해 성능을 평가하고 시뮬레이션을 응용하여 안정적인 성능 향상을 입증한다.
