Abstract

It is implicated in the current road design manual that design speed is well representing the operating speed of drivers. On the contrary, the disparity between the design speed and operating speed means that current road design cannot guarantee the safety and comfort of driving. In this context, operating speed was observed at the two lane rural roadways to find out the relation of operating speed and design speed. In addition to this, the friction factor from supply and demand which was derived from the operating speed was compared in terms of the dynamics in driving safety factor. It was concluded that the actual speed was consistently exceeding the design speed at the horizontal curves having the radius less than or equal to 200 m. Similarly, the demanded side friction was also consistently exceeding the supplied side friction at the horizontal curves having the radius less than or equal to 200 m and the amount of difference was also inversely proportional to the radius of the horizontal curves.

현 도로설계기준은 설계속도가 주행속도를 대표하는 값임을 내재하고 있다. 역으로, 설계속도와 주행속도의 불일치는 현 도로설계가 주행 안전 및 쾌적감을 보장하지 못함을 의미하게 된다. 이런 맥락에서, 지방부 2차로 도로를 대상으로 운전자의 주행속도를 조사하여 설계속도와 주행속도 사이의 관계에 대해 검토하였다. 추가적으로, 주행속도로부터 도출된 수요 횡방향 미끄럼 마찰계수와 공급 횡방향 미끄럼 마찰계수를 주행 역학적 안전성 관점에서 비교하였다. 주행속도와 공급 설계속도를 비교한 결과, 평면 곡선반경 약 200m 이하 구간에서 주행속도가 공급 설계 속도를 초과하는 것으로 나타났으며, 평면 곡선반경에 작을수록 두 속도 사이의 차이가 큰 경향을 나타냈다. 유사하게, 평면 곡선반경 약 200m이하 구간에서 수요 횡방향 미끄럼 마찰계수가 공급 횡방향 미끄럼 마찰계수를 초과하는 것으로 나타났으며, 평면 곡선반경이 작을수록 두 값 사이의 차이가 큰 경향을 나타냈다.
