Today travel demand continues to increase with spread of economic zones. Also, urban freeway plays an important role in intra-zone transportations as a major corridor in a big city. However, most of urban freeways experience a severe congestion with the excess of inflowing or outflowing traffic through freeway ramps. The purpose of this study is to identify the traffic characteristics, analyze the relationships between the traffic characteristics and finally construct the speed predictive models on the ramp junctions of urban freeway under the intelligent transportation system(ITS) settings. From the analyses of traffic characteristics following results were obtained: ⅰ) 24 hours average traffic characteristics flow, occupancy, speed under the ITS settings showed about 40%, 38%, 8.8% increase each on urban freeway junctions period when compared with that under the non-ITS settings each other. Free flow speed and traffic flow on the mainline sections of urban freeway under the ITS settings also showed about 20% and 17% increase when compared with that under the non-ITS, respectively. ⅱ) The upstream when compared speed( $S_{u}$)and downstream occupancy( $O_{d}$) were especially shown to have higher explanatory powers on the stable flow ramp junctions, but the upstream speed( $S_{u}$) and downstream flow( $V_{d}$) were especially shown on the unstable flow ramp junctions of urban freeway under the ITS settings.ngs.ngs.

Today freeway is thought to be a very important transportation facility carrying tremendous traffic flow as the main corridor within the area of between the areas. However freeway is experiencing severe congestion and accidents by increased entrance ramp flow especially at peak time period. Ramp meters on the freeway entrance ramps that supply traffic to the freeway in a measured or appropriately regulated amount are needed for alleviating freeway congestion. Because ramp meters can be operated to discharge traffic at a measured or regulated rate thus maintaining more uniform speed on the mainline section maximizing the throughput to the freeway within the capacity of a downstream bottleneck and reducing the congestion related accidents. Thus the objectives in this study were to analyze the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 with ramp metering system before/after ITS technology in Detroit (Michigan) area compare shifts of the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 before/after ITS technology and finally suggest a better ramp metering strategy for the freeway system The following results were obtained: i)Flow occupancies and speeds on the mainline merge section of freeway were shown to be a big difference depending on the peak periods areas and directions based on the distribution of traffic flow characteristics on the freeway. ii)Reduced speed was shown to be more than 5 mph and ramp flow was also shown to be more than 240 vph at peak periods if there was the ramp metering system constructed on the freeway. iii)Ramp metering system was shown to be optimally operated on the freeway if ramp flow could be maximized within the range of over 900 vph and reduced occupancy could be also maximized by no more than 2 percent at peak periods. iv)The average flows on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be a decrease of over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those flow on the freeway before the ITS technology. over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those speeds on the freeway before the ITS technology. vi)The average metering rates on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be an increase of over 10% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those metering rates on the freeway before the ITS technology.

국내의 경우 현재 연결로 접속부의 서비스수준 분석은 2005년에 제정된 우리나라의 도로용량편람(KHCM)에서 제시하고 있는 영향권 내 밀도를 효과척도로 하여 분석하고 있다. 국내의 경우 현재 연결로 접속부의 서비스수준 분석은 2005년에 개정된 KHCM에서 제시하고 있는 영향권 내 밀도를 효과척도로 하여 분석하고 있다. KHCM의 영향권 내 밀도추정모형은 고속도로만을 대상으로 구축된 것으로 도시고속도로와는 특성의 차이가 상당하여 KHCM에서 제시한 모형을 도시고속도로에 적용하는데 검증이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 고속도로와는 다른 특성을 가진 도시고속도로상의 유입연결로 합류영향권내 실시간 교통특성 자료를 바탕으로 연결로 접속부의 서비스수준 평가를 위한 효과척도인 영향권 내 밀도를 보다 정확하게 추정하는 분석모델을 개발하고 2005년 의 KHCM모형과 더불어 2000년에 개정된 미국의 도로용량편람(USHCM)에서 제시하고 있는 모형을 도시고속도로(번영로)에 적용하여 그 타당성을 검토하는데 있다.

일반적으로 평균속도란 어느 도로구간을 이동하는 차량의 평균통행시간에 기초한 통행속도를 의미하고, 도로의 서비스수준 평가를 위해 도로용량편람에서 제시하고 있는 평균통행속도가 효과척도로 사용되고 있다. 국내 대부분의 도시고속도로는 제한속도 80Km/h이하의 고속화도로로서 출퇴근시간대에 관계없이 체증문제를 안고 있다. 특히, 도시고속도로의 연결로 접속구간역내에서의 교통정체는 통행량 증가와 주변 간선도로와의 연계성이 부족하여 더욱 악화되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 도시고속도로의 연결로 접속구간역내에서의 교통특성을 파악하고, 파악된 교통특성을 중심으로 연결로 접속구간 내 평균속도를 추정하며, 추정된 평균속도의 타당성을 입증하는데 있다.

도시고속도로란 도시지역 내 고속의 자동차 전용도로로서 대량의 교통량을 신속하게 처리하기 위해 높은 설계기준이 요구되는 4차선 이상의 도로를 의미한다. 그러나 대부분의 도시고속도로는 오전 오후첨두시 또는 도심 부도심방향에 관계없이 도로의 용량을 초과하는 교통량의 증가로 인하여 심각한 교통혼잡을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 부산항과 연계된 도시고속도로의 연결로 접속영향권을 대상으로 실시간 교통특성을 수집하여 교통특성을 파악하고, 연결로 접속영향권내 각 차로에 대한 교통특성관계를 비교 분석하며, 마지막으로 연결로 접속영향권내 각 차로에 대한 최적의 용량을 평가하여 차로별 소통능력을 제시하고자 한다.

Based on the traffic and accident data collected on a 4.2km (2.6mile) section of Interstate highway 35W in Minneapolis the relationship between traffic operation variables and safety measures is investigated. An aggregate specification that could be integrated into an urban freeway safety prediction methodology is proposed as a multiple regression model. The specification includes lane occupancy and volume data, which are the control parameters commonly used because they can be measured in real time. The primary variables that appear to affect the safety of urban freeway are : vehicle-miles of travel, entrance ramp volumes and the dynamic effect of queue building. The potential benefits of freeway traffic control strategies on freeway safety are also investigated via a simulation study. It was concluded that improvement of urban freeway safety is achievable by traffic control strategies which homogenize traffic conditions areound critical occupancy values.

Freeway Corridors consist of urban freeways and parallel arterials that drivers can use alternatively. Ramp metering in freeways and signal control in arterials are contemporary traffic control methods that have been developed and applied in order to improve traffic conditions of freeway corridors. However, most of the existing studies have focused on either optimal ramp metering in freeways, or progression signal strategies between arterial intersections. There have been no traffic control systems in Korea that integrates the freeway ramp metering and arterial signal control. The effective control strategies for freeway operations may cause negative effects on arterial traffic. On the other hand, traffic congestion and bottleneck phenomenon of arterials due to the increasing peak-hour travel demand and ineffective signal operation may generate an accessibility problem to freeway ramps. Thus, the main function of the freeway which is the through-traffic process has not been successful. The purpose of this study is to develop an integrated control model that connects freeway ramp metering systems and signal control systems in arterial intersections. And Optimization of integrated control model which consists of ramp metering and signal control is another purpose. Optimization results are verified by comparison with the results from MATDYMO.
