Abstract

The headway of vehicles entering an intersection is closely related with the saturation flow rate and is a basic parameter required for determining the saturation headway and the start-up lost delay. Since such headway value reflects the drivers' behaviors and features of the intersection, all intersections don't have an equal value, but are affected by number and location of their lanes, changing types, local characteristics and time zone. Accordingly, this study attempted to suggest proper values on the basis of data by investigating headway in lanes. Number of exclusive through lanes was divided into single lane, double lanes and triple lanes, the locations of lanes were divided into inside lane, central lane and outside lane. As a result of investigating the headway, single through lane, double through lanes-inside lane, and triple through lane-outside lane showed as 1.73 sec., 1.71 sec. and 1.93sec., respectively. The result of calculating the area factor of business areas by fixing 1.00 for the residental area and applying relation between headway and saturation flow rate was 0.96. In the case of start-up lost delay lead dual left turn and directional separation were 1.41 sec. and 3.27 sec., respectively, showing the great difference. Therefore, different start-up lost delay according to changing type should be applied.

교차로에 진입하는 차량의 차두시간은 포화교통류율과 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 포화차두시간과 출발손실시간을 구하기 위한 기본 파라메터이다. 이러한 차두시간은 운전자의 행태 및 교차로의 특성을 반영하는 것이므로 어느 교차로에서나 일정한 것이 아니라 교차로의 차로수 차로위치, 현시방법, 지역특성 및 시간대 등에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 각각에 대해 교차로의 특성을 고려하여 적절한 값을 제시하였다. 직진차로수는 1차로, 2차로, 3차로로 분류하고 차로위치는 상위차로, 중간차로, 하위차로로 분류하여 차두시간을 조사한 결과 직진1차로와 직진2차로-상위차로 및 직진3차로-하위차로의 경우 각각 1.73초, 1.71초, 1.93초로 나타났다. 또한 차두시간과 포화교통류율의 관계를 이용하여 주거지역을 1.00로 가정하고 지역특성계수를 산정한 결과 0.96으로 나타났다. 출발손실시간의 경우 방향보호좌회전이 1.41초, 직좌동시신호가 3.27초로 큰 차이가 있었으므로 현시방법에 따라 다른 출발손실시간이 적용되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다.
