Abstract

Traffic congestion has become severe in large metropolitan areas by the travel behavior of employees as the low rate of vehicle occupancy and the high rate of Private auto using. In order to relieve traffic congestion, central and local government plan to implement diverse transportation demand management strategies. The governments want to know what employment types and locations in different metropolitan areas lead to the highest rate of vehicle occupancy and Private auto use. This study suggest that in large metropolitan areas, the employment locations of urban and suburban as well as the employment type of service show low vehicle occupancy. In medium metropolitan sizes. low vehicle occupancies are observed in service employment as well as in the employment locations of CBD. CBD fringe. In small metropolitan areas, a low rate of vehicle occupancy exists in service employment as well as in the employment locations of urban and suburban areas. A high rate of auto use shows not only in basic employment but also in the employment locations of CBD and CBD fringe.

도시 근로자들의 높은 승용차 이용율과 낮은 재차인원율으로 인해 대도시에서의 교통혼잡이 가중됨에 따라 중앙정부 및 지자체에서는 적극적인 도시 교통수요관리 정책을 시행할 계획이며 이에 따라 다양한 교통수요관리 정책을 어디에 어떻게 적용해야 하는가에 대한 관심이높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 미국 텍사스 주 근로자의 통행특성 변화를 분석하여 도시규모, 직장위치, 그리고 직업종류 변화에 따른 낮은 재차인원율과 높은 승용차 이용율을 나타내는 직장 소재지 및 직업종류를 도출하였다. 연구 결과 대도시에서는 도시 및 도시주변 직장 근로자들이 낮은 재차인원율을 나타냈으며 중도시에서는 도심 및 도심주변 근로자들이 낮은 재차인원율을 나타냈고 소도시에서는 도시 및 도시주변 근로자들이 낮은 재차인원율을 나타냈다. 서비스업 근로자는 모든 도시규모에서 낮은 재차인원율을 나타냈다. 한편 승용차 이용율은 대도시 서비스업 근로자들이 높은 승용차 이용율을 나타냈으며 소도시의 도심과 도심주변 소재 직장 근로자와 기본업 근로자들이 높은 승용차 이용율을 나타냈다.
