본 연구는 FTMS와 TCS를 실시간으로 통신하여 톨게이트 운영에 관련된 다양한 교통정보를 제공하는 교통상황 모니터링과 미래의 교통상황을 예측하고 이를 바탕으로 톨게이트 교통상황을 예측하는 톨게이트 시뮬레이션 시스템(TGSS)을 개발하는 것이다. 교통상황 모니터링은 실시간 교통자료를 통계처리하고 분석하여 사용자에게 그래픽하게 교통정보를 제공하고 교통류의 예측은 톨게이트에 도착하는 교통류를 60분 후까지 예측하여 톨게이트 운영자에게 제공한다. 또한 톨게이트 예측시스템은 서울톨게이트에 도착하는 교통류 패턴을 이용하여 미래 톨게이트 교통상황을 시뮬레이션하고 이에 대한 톨게이트 운영 대안을 제시하는 기능을 수행한다. FTMS 및 TCS와 실시간으로 통신하기 위하여 별도의 통신프로그램을 작성하였고 통신에 의해 수집된 실시간 교통자료들은 모니터링 시스템과 연계하여 서울 톨게이트 주변구간의 교통상황과 톨게이트 운영 현황을 제공한다. 교통류 예측 시스템에 사용되는 모형은 거시적 교통류 모형인 Simple Continuum 모형과 시계열 모형을 이용하였고 이를 통해 서울 톨게이트에 도착하는 미래 교통류를 예측 할 수 있다. 톨게이트의 교통상황을 구현하기 위하여 미시적 모형인 차량추종모형과 차로변경모형을 톨게이트 예측 시스템에 반영하였고 현재의 톨부스 운영안과 사용자가 입력하는 톨부스 운영대안에 따라 시뮬레이션 함으로써 미래 톨 플라자내 교통상황을 톨게이트 운영자에게 애니메이션으로 보여줄 수 있다. 톨게이트 시뮬레이션 시스템을 이용하여 현재의 톨게이트 운영안과 최적화된 운영안을 상호 비교함으로써 톨게이트 운영자는 좀더 과학적인 톨게이트 운영을 모색할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 실용적 측면에서 볼 때, 톨게이트 시뮬레이션 시스템(TGSS)은 실시간 통신을 통한 모니터링과 교통류 예측으로 톨게이트 상황을 시뮬레이션하고 톨게이트 운영 대안을 제시·평가함으로써 서울톨게이트 운영을 효율화하고 이로 인한 고속도로 소통 증대를 도모할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Prediction of vehicle traffic volume is very important in planning municipal administration. It may help promote social and economic interests and also prevent traffic congestion costs. Traffic volume as a time-varying trajectory is considered as functional data. In this paper we study three functional regression models that can be used to predict an unseen trajectory of traffic volume based on already observed trajectories. We apply the methods to highway tollgate traffic volume data collected at some tollgates in Seoul, Chuncheon and Gangneung. We compare the prediction errors of the three models to find the best one for each of the three tollgate traffic volumes.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method for estimation of reliable path-travel time using data obtained from the toll collection system on freeways. The toll collection system records departure and arrival time stamps as well as the identification numbers of arrival and destination tollgates for all the individual vehicles traveling between tollgates on freeways. Two major issues reduce accuracy when estimating path-travel time between an origin and destination tollgate using transaction data collected by the toll collection system. First, travel time calculated by subtracting departure time from arrival time does not explain path-travel time from origin tollgate to destination tollgate when a variety of available paths exist between tollgates. Second, travel time may include extra time spent in service and/or rest areas. Moreover. ramp driving time is included because tollgates are installed before on-ramps and after off-ramps. This paper describes an algorithm that searches for arrival time when departure time is given between tollgates by a Progressive Iterative Forward and Backward (PIFAB) search method. The algorithm eventually produces actual path-travel times that exclude any time spent in service and/or rest areas as well as ramp driving time based on a link-based procedure.

Crashes that occur at tollgates have different characteristics compared to those of the mainline on expressways in terms of crash cause, crash type, and vehicle type. Due to this fact, the safety performance function (SPF) focused on the expressway tollgates, apart from the mainline, should be developed. The aim of this study is, therefore, to identify the influential factors and develope a SPF for crashes at tollgates. Firstly, we established independent variables affecting crashes at tollgates through literature review and descriptive statistical analysis. Based on these variables, two negative binomial regression models with different form of independent variables were developed and goodness-of-fits of each model were compared. According to the results, the number of crashes increases i) as AADT, Hi-pass rate, and heavy vehicle rate increase, ii) as average lane width decreases, iii) on the mainline tollgate type. The safety performance function developed in this study could be applied to select hot-spots for expressway tollgates.

Automatic detection of vehicles in front is an integral component of many advanced driver-assistance system, such as collision mitigation, automatic cruise control, and automatic head-lamp dimming. Regardless day and night, tail-lights play an important role in vehicle detecting and status recognizing of driving in front. However, some drivers do not know the status of the tail-lights of vehicles. Thus, it is required for drivers to inform status of tail-lights automatically. In this paper, a recognition method of status of tail-lights based on video processing and recognition technology is proposed. Background estimation, optical flow and Euclidean distance is used to detect vehicles entering tollgate. Then saliency map is used to detect tail-lights and recognize their status in the Lab color coordinates. As results of experiments of using tollgate videos, it is shown that the proposed method can be used to inform status of tail-lights.

PURPOSES : The rumble strip installed at the highway near the tollgate has the purpose to reduce the vehicle velocity or prevent sleepiness by awakening people to the danger. These rumble strip has different vibration decibel from the rumble strip shapes, resulting in some fatigue damage to human because a driver suffers from a lot of stress and displeasure. In this connection, the objective of this paper is to analyze the vibration decibel perceived by a driver in the vehicle under some conditions. METHODS : The vibration decibel conveyed from the tire can be analyzed. The frequency analysis methods were used according to DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) analysis, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis, CPB (Constant Percentage Bandwidth) analysis. But the frequency analysis method in this paper is the 1/24 OCT(Octave) band analysis because of the convenience of the analysis and the overall vibration amplitude along the frequency. RESULTS : By using the results of the vibration decibel after analyzing the 1/24 OCT band analysis, these results can be compared from some conditions (e.g., rumble strip shape, uniform velocity of a vehicle, road condition, mass of a vehicle). As a result, the numerical values of decibel are not directly proportional to the vehicle velocity. CONCLUSIONS : At the condition that a vehicle is passing by the rumble strip, the value of a vibration decibel at the rumble strip of the cylinder shape is smaller than the rumble strip of rectangular shape regardless of the rumble strip depth and width. At the mass condition, the more a vehicle is massive, the more the vibration decibel increases. At the road condition, the vibration decibel at the wet road is smaller than the value at dry road condition.

현재 국내에서 ITS(Intelligent Transport Systems) 통신방식으로 이 용되고 있는 DSRC 방식은 TTA(한국정보통신기술협회)의 기술표준으로서 대전시,전주시에 적용되어 BIS(Bus Information Service)에 이용되고 있고,최근 고속도로 ETCS(Electronic Toll Collection System)가 DSRC방식으로 전국고속도로 Tollgate 에서 2007년 연말에 개통될 예정이다. DSRC 방식은 2000년에 TTA(한국정보통신기술협회)에서 기술표준이 제정되어 현재 1Mbps 의 Data 용량을 가진다. DSRC 방식의 물리링크 변조방식은 ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying)로 ITS 확장 서비스 적용을 위해 변조방식을 QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying )로 개선하게 되면 이론적으로 4배의 Data Rate 향상이 이루어진다. 물리적인 RF 변조방식을 ASK에서 QPSK로 바꿔 간단히 Data Rate을 개선하게 되면 회로구현의 경제성이 향상되어 DSRC 응용 서비스가 활성화 될 것이다.
