Abstract

One of the most important steps of the design, capacity and operation analysis stapes in the two-lane two way highways is the effect of heavy vehicle to traffic flow quality. This heavy vehicle's effect on traffic flow can be represented as PCE, which is the number of passenger cars that are displaced by a single heavy vehicle of a particular type under prevailing roadway, traffic, and control conditions. In this paper, we focus on the heavy vehicles effect on volume, speed, delay, and the maneuver of freedom which are major MOE's in traffic operation analysis and PCE criterion which should be measurable, determinable and able to reflect the traffic flow characteristics. Therefore, the objective of the paper is to determine the PCE criterion and to develop a new PCE determination method. In this study, delay is adopted as PCE criterion and, for calculation of delay, the highway is divided into the passing zone and the no-passing zone. PCE is determined by comparing the delay due to total traffic flow interaction with the delay due to a single heavy vehicle, Also, this paper proposes a new method to determine the average PCE on the highway that has the passing zones and no-passing zones.

양방향 2차로 도로의 설계, 용량 및 운영분석의 단계에서 고려되어야 할 핵심사항으로 화물차와 같은 중차량이 교통류에 미치는 영향을 들 수 있다. 중차량이 교통류에 미치는 영향은 승용차환산계수로 표현할 수 있으며, 이는 교통류 운영분석의 주 MOE's로 사용되는 교통량, 운행속도, 지체시간, 주행의 자유 등에 대하여 중차량이 미치는 영향을 계산하여 승용차 몇 대에 해당하는가를 나타낸 것이다. PCE환산에 있어서 중요한 것은 중차량을 승용차로 환산하는 척도이며, 이러한 승용차 환산 척도는 계량화가 가능하고 교통류특성을 반영할 수 있는 특성을 지녀야 한다. 본 연구에서는 PCE 산정의 척도로서 지체시간을 선정하였으며, 이의 계산을 위하여 도로구간을 추월가능구간과 추월금지구간으로 나누어 지체시간을 계산하였다. PCE의 환산은 Werner와 Morrall이 제시한 것처럼 Walker's Method를 이용하여 교통류 상호간에 발생하는 지체시간과 중차량 1대의 유입으로 인해 유발되는 지체시간을 비교하여 결정하였다. 또한 추월가능 및 금지구간 뿐만 아니라, 추월가능구간과 추월금지구간이 조합되어 연속적으로 나타나는 도로구간의 평균 PC료를 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.
