In this paper, we propose a fuzzy traffic controller that is able to cope with traffic congestion appropriately. In order to consider such situation as loss of green time caused by spillback of upper crossroad, it imports a degree of traffic congestion of upper roads which vehicles on a crossroad are to proceed to. We constructed the equal-partitioned fuzzy traffic controller that uses the membership functions of the same size and shape, and modified the size and shape, and modified the size and shape of its membership functions by the membership function modification algorithm. In experiment, we compared and analyzed the fixed signal controller, the fuzzy traffic controller with the membership of the same size and shape, and the modified fuzzy traffic controller by using the delay time, the proportion of entered vehicles to occurred vehicles and the proportion of passed vehicles to entered vehicles. As a result of experiment, the modified fuzzy controller showed more enhanced performance than others.

For the smooth flow of traffic vehicles and its effective management, it is necessary to have an exact information on traffic condition, i.e., the volume of traffic, velocity, occupancy and classification of vehicles. In particular, for classification of vehicles, there has been only image processing method using camera, where the method can obtain much information but rather expensive. In this paper, an algorithm for the measurement of velocity and total length of vehicles has been proposed to develop a general traffic management system, which is necessary to discriminate the class of vehicles. In order to realize the proposed algorithm, we have developed an ultrasonic spatial filtering method, which has better performance than that of using the traditional vehicle detector. To have this system to be constructed, we have introduced three sets of ultrasonic devices where each has one transmitter and two receivers which are arranged to obtain the spatial difference of objects. The velocity of vehicles can be measured by analyzing the occurrence time of pulses and their time differences. The total length of vehicles can be given by multiplying velocity with time interval of pulses sequence. To confirm the effectiveness of this measuring system, the experiment by the spatial filtering method using the ultrasonic sensors has been carried out. As the results, it is found that the proposed method can be used as one of measurement tools in the general traffic management system.

교통혼잡은 운전자의 인지반응시간, 운전미숙, 무리한 차로변경 등 인적요인으로부터 발생된다. 자율주행자동차가 도입되면 이러한 인적요인들이 배제되고 군집주행으로 인해 평균주행속도 상승, 교통흐름 안정화, 도로용량 증대 효과가 예상된다. 본 연구는 자율주행자동차도입으로 인한 교통흐름 변화를 교통량-밀도-속도 산포도 그래프를 통해 분석하고, 도로용량 증대 효과를 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 자율주행자동차의 혼입율이 높아질수록 교통량-밀도-속도의 그래프 곡선이 완화되며, 폭이 줄어들어 교통류가 안정적으로 변화하였다. 또한 자율주행자동차 혼입율 100%에서는 도로용량이 약 120% 증대되는 것으로 분석되었다. 자율주행자동차 도입으로 인한 교통혼잡개선 및 교통수요관리 측면에서 긍정적인 기대효과가 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

The nodes constituting the vehicle ad hoc network (VANET) are vehicles moving along the road and road side units (RSUs) installed around the road. The vehicle ad hoc network is used to collect the status, speed, and location information of vehicles driving on the road, and to communicate with vehicles, vehicles, and RSUs. Today, as the number of vehicles continues to increase, urban roads are suffering from traffic jams, which cause various problems such as time, fuel, and the environment. In this paper, we propose a method to solve traffic congestion problems on urban roads and demonstrate that the method can be applied to solve traffic congestion problems through performance evaluation using two typical protocols of vehicle ad hoc networks, AODV and GPSR. The performance evaluation used ns-2 simulator, and the average number of traffic jams and the waiting time due to the average traffic congestion were measured. Through this, we demonstrate that the vehicle ad hoc-based traffic congestion management technique proposed in this paper can be applied to urban roads in smart cities.

This study aims to provide a methodological framework to estimate the travel demand of hazardous materials transporting vehicles by link and analyze daily traffic patterns on an expressway to develop safety roadway management strategies. Traffic volume of hazardous material vehicles is counted through the on-site investigation at twenty-five tollgates on the expressway, and their demands by a link are predicted through origin-destination flows estimation. The result shows that the number of the domestic hazardous materials vehicles is approximately 51,207 vehicles per day and it indicates that hazardous materials transport vehicles account for 1.5% of total daily traffic on the internal expressway and 6.2% of total cargo traffic volumes. This study roughly estimated how many hazardous materials vehicles pass through the expressway segment. Thus it is expected to be utilized for establishing a systematic highway management strategy in the future by calculating the traffic volume of the hazardous material vehicles traveling on the interstate expressway.

신호교차로는 차량들의 회전 등으로 인한 상충이 빈번히 발생하고 차량의 주행이 교통신호에 의해 통제되기 때문에 자율주행차에게 가장 도전적인 공간이다. 교통신호가 존재하는 도시부 도로에서 안전한 주행을 도모하기 위해서는 자율주행차가 V2I 통신을 통하여 교통신호정보를 인프라로부터 제공받을 필요가 있다. 이러한 배경 하에 경찰청 교통신호제어기 표준규격서에는 교통신호정보 제공을 위한 규약이 추가되었다. 하지만, 기존 규약이 아날로그 교통신호제어기 위주로 정의되어 있어 현재 개발되고 있는 디지털 교통신호제어기에 적용하는 것에는 기술적 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 디지털 교통신호제어기로부터 자율주행차에게 교통신호정보를 제공하기 위한 신호정보연계모듈 개발 방안과 교통신호 전이 시의 정확한 교통신호정보를 제공할 수 있는 알고리즘 개선 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Road traffic noise is not produced by any one factor rather it occurs as a composition of various factors. Its occurrence is made by running engine noise, tire frictional, and exhaust noise etc. The quality of the noise depends on the size of the vehicles, rotation and engine speed, vehicle load, package state of the road and incline etc. The occurrence of any noise level of heavy trucks appears louder than smaller vehicles and the noise levels produced differs according to speed and load etc between similar size vehicles. Other factors such as traffic density, average speed, mixing rate of heavy vehicles, and the distance between vehicles also generate road traffic noise. In this paper we examine 2, 4, and 6-lane roads in Jeonju. Consequently, this study examines the means used to measure road traffic noise. It was found that when there is a large traffic density and the average velocity is below 70 km/h, the noise level could receive a relative proper value by the current measuring means. But in the case of night-time, it was found that the current measuring method is inapposite.

This paper presents a simulation tool for developing and evaluating automated driving systems' lane change algorithm in urban congested traffic. The behavior of surrounding vehicles was modeled based on driver driving data measured in urban congested traffic. Surrounding vehicles are divided into aggressive vehicles and non-aggressive vehicles. The degree of aggressiveness is determined according to the lateral position to initiate interaction with the vehicle in the next lane. In addition, the desired velocity and desired time gap of each vehicle are all randomly assigned. The simulation was conducted by reflecting the cognitive limitations and control performance of the autonomous vehicle. It was possible to confirm the change in the lane change performance according to the variation of the lane change decision algorithm.

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.
