The two-lane, two-way highway simulation program(TWOPAS) is evaluated for Korean Highway Capacity Manual Study. TWOPAS program input variables, especially related vehicle performance, traffic flow relationship, car-following model and passing logic are examined and modified through the analysis results of our two-lane, two-way highway traffic characteristics. Simulation outputs with and without modification are compared with the field data. The results show that improved TWOPAS program(TWOPAS KI) is well suitable for simulating our two-lane, two-way highway condition.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this paper is to estimate expected effects on traffic operational and economic aspects of 2+1 roads application in Korea. METHODS : Micro simulation study using VISSIM 5.0 was used to analyze the operation efficiency of 2+1 roads compared to two-lane highways and four-lane highways. Some scenarios for various traffic volumes were set up in order to analyze the effect of 2+1 roads under various traffic situations. Also imaginary road networks were set up for each type of roads. The MOEs to measure the operation efficiency were selected with average travel speed and delay. For analyzing economic effect of 2+1 roads, construction cost of a specific imaginary 2+1 road was compared to construction cost of a four-lane highway with same conditions. RESULTS: The results of study show that a 2+1 road is more effective with 19 percents higher average travel speed and 39 percents lower average delay than a two-lane highway. In the economic analysis, construction costs to construct a 2+1 road are saved as approximately 26.4~40.7 percents when compared to construction of four-lane highway. CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that 2+1 roads can improve the traffic operational level of service for two-lane highways and 2+1 roads can be applied as an effective design alternative for higher-volume two-lane highways in Korea.

OBJECTIVES : This study aims to review a plan to reduce the shoulder width of a deformed round-trip two-lane highway with low traffic volume. METHODS : Installation of a passing lane on a round-trip two-lane (one-way one-lane) highway, and reduction of a shoulder for a round-trip four-lane highway. RESULTS : It is necessary to establish a design criterion for various highways, because the plan to reduce the lane or shoulder width of a highway with low traffic volume was analyzed to have an economic efficiency of 6.8~7.0%. CONCLUSIONS : It is necessary to seek for a plan to establish a national trunk net early by efficiently using the limited financial resources to cope with the traffic demand elastically.

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.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to establish the traffic volume-based warrants of right-turn lanes at unsignalized intersections and to introduce a risk probability methodology based on the warrants. METHODS : In this study, a risk probability of a potential rear-end collision is applied between a right-turn vehicle and the immediately following through vehicle. Using the shifted negative exponential model and the compound probability theorem, the risk probability can be expressed as the function of directional volumes and the percentage of right-turns for a two-lane and four-lane highway, respectively. RESULTS : Based on the risk probablity, guidelines for installing right-turn lanes on two-lane and four-lane highways were developed. The risk probability also showed rationality by comparing with right-turn same-direction conflicts observed in-situ. CONCLUSIONS : The results of our study define the total approaching volumes to encourage a right-turn lane as a function of operating speed, percentage of right-turn, and number of lanes.

국도와 지방도의 2차로도로에서 정면충돌사고, 교행시 측면접촉 고정물체 충돌 사고 비율이 매우 높게 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차로도로의 횡단면과 평면선형에 대한 문제점과 개선점을 찾아내 2차로도로의 교통소통과 안전성을 개선하는 방향을 찾고자 하였다. 이를 위해 평면곡선 구간에 대한 안전성 평가지표를 선정하여, 선형개량, 확폭, 편경사의 효과를 평가하고, 사례연구를 통해 이를 검증하고 경제성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 2차로도로 평면선형구간의 안전성 평가지표로 "직선부 평균주행속도-곡선부 평균주행속도 차이(${\geq}10km/h$)"를 선정하였으며, 선형이 취약한 구간의 안전성 향상을 위해서는 선형개량이 가장 큰 효과를 거둘 수 있으며, 그 후에 편경사 개선과 확폭이 병행되어야 운영적 측면과 안전성 측면에서 큰 효과를 거둘 수 있음을 밝혀냈다. 또한 본 연구는 선형개량이 막연히 시설 및 간단한 개선보다 얼마나 좋은지를 정량적으로 제시하였다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

현재 우리나라 2차로도로 횡단면 설계기준은 설계속도별 최소 차로폭과 길어깨 기준은 있으나, 다양한 횡단면 구성안이 없어 전국이 획일적인 도로구조 형태를 보이고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차로도로의 사고유형별 원인을 규명하고 그에 따른 교통운영 및 안전성 측면에서 횡단면 개선 방안을 수립하고, 평가척도를 선정하였으며, 평가과정을 통해 새로운 횡단면 설계기준을 제시하고 이를 검증하였다. 연구결과 같은 2차로도 도로폭 $9{\sim}12.9m$ 보다 $6{\sim}8.9m$ 도로가 사고율이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 대표적 사고유형들의 개선점은 차로 및 길어깨 확장으로 나타났다. 시뮬레이션 결과 도로폭 6$\sim$7m 는 교통량 1,000vph에서 급격한 지체 시간 상승을 보이고 있으나. 도로폭 10$\sim$11.5m도로는 1.200vph에서 약간의 변화를 보였다. 이 결과(pcu/일)를 국도와 지방도 일평균교통량(대/일)분포와 비교분석 하여 다양한 횡단면 기준을 제시하였다.

The effects of passing lanes on traffic flow on rural two-lane highways have been investigated in this research. Field study results were compared with the computer simulation model, TRARR, TRARR model appears to be in good agreement with field study results except that average speed and distribution of platoon sizes showed a small amount of discrepancy, which is believed to be caused by too large a headway definition of 6 second for a vehicle platoon. Using the TRARR model, 4 situations including the existing condition, installation of passing lanes, improvement of design speed, and expansion to a four lane highway were evaluated. Traffic volume levels of 500,1000, and 1500 vph and truck composition of 20 and 40% were also considered making a total of 24 computer runs. It is concluded in this research that the installation of passing lanes is the most effective method to improve traffic operation on two-lane high ways except the alternative of four lane highway expansion.

전기자동차의 보급 활성화를 촉진시키기 위해서는 전기자동차를 위한 교통기반시설의 공급과 효율적인 정책결정이 필요하다. 하지만 이를 뒷받침할 수 있는 전기자동차의 시설표준화 및 지침구축은 미비한 상태이다. 시설표준화 및 지침 구축을 위해서는 다양한 연구를 통한 기준지표와 자료가 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 2차로도로 시뮬레이션모형(TWOPAS)을 이용하여 이상적인 조건에서 저속전기자동차가 혼입되었을 때의 교통특성을 평균통행속도, 추종시간백분율, 총지체를 통해 분석하고 교통류에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 시나리오는 교통량을 기준으로 설정하였으며, 저속전기자동차 혼입율을 1%~30%로 적용하여 분석하였다. 각 시나리오 별로 분석한 결과, 교통량이 650대/시인 시나리오 1의 경우와 교통량이 2,600대/시인 시나리오4가 교통량이 1,300대/시, 1,950대/시인 시나리오2, 시나리오3보다 교통영향이 작게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 교통량이 적은 경우 추월이 비교적 원활해 영향이 작게 나타나며, 교통량이 많은 경우는 기존의 교통류가 전기자동차 주행특성과 비슷하기 때문에 영향이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 비교적 원활한 교통소통을 보이는 시나리오2와 시나리오3은 저속전기자동차의 혼입에 따른 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 도시내 도로와 같이 교통량이 많은 도로와 교통량이 비교적 한산한 지방부 2차로 도로의 경우는 저속전기차동차에 대한 친화도가 높은 반면 교통량이 1,300대/시~1,950대/시인 도로는 저속전기자동차에 대한 친화도가 낮아 기하구조의 개선 등이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

There are many inductive loop detectors under the highways in Korea. Among the other detectors, some are image detectors. Almost all image detectors are focused one or two lane of the road and are measuring traffic information. This paper proposes to an algorithm for detecting traffic information automatically from CCTV camera images installed on the highway. The information which is counted in one lane or two contains some critical errors by occlusion frequently in case of passing larger vehicles. In this paper, we use a tracking algorithm in which the detection area include all lanes, then the traffic informations are collected from the vehicles individually using difference images in this detection area. This tracking algorithm is better than lane by lane detecting algorithm. The experiment have been conducted two different real road scenes for 20 minutes. For the experiments, the images are provided with CCTV camera which was installed at Kiheung Interchange upstream of Kyongbu highway, and video recording images at Chungkye Tunnel. For image processing, images captured by frame-grabber board 30 frames per second, 640${\times}$480 pixels resolution and 256 gray-levels to reduce the total amount of data to be Interpreted.
