초록

지금까지 고속도로 상에서 반복 및 비반복정체에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔지만 이들이 독립적으로 발생했을 때 교통정체의 영향에 대한 연구는 활발히 진행되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 가장 큰 이유는 반복 및 비반복정체시 교통상황에 자료수집이 부족했으며, 뿐만 아니라 이들의 영향을 독립적/정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 분석도구의 효과적인 사용이 미비했기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 미국 고속도로 구간의 교통정체시 수집한 교통자료를 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 이용한 반복 및 비반복정체의 독립적인 영향을 분석하는 방법을 제시하였다. 분석결과로서 대상구간에 따라 비반복정체가 반복정체보다 고속도로기능을 크게 악화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 교통정체시 실시간 교통정보제공을 위한 기존 ITS기술들의 현장평가결과로서 안정적인 교통정체에서는 정보의 정확성은 높으나, 정체가 시작되거나 해소되는 시간대 또는 비반복정체시 제공되는 교통정보의 정확성은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 비반복정체의 중요성과 더불어 제시하고 있는 반복 및 비반복정체의 영향분석 방법론은 향후 대상 고속도로의 정체해소를 위한 개선사업의 투자우선순위를 판단할 수 있는 기초연구로서 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

There have been few studies on the impacts of independent recurrent and non-recurrent congestion on freeway networks. The main reason is due partly to the lack of traffic data collected during those periods of recurrent and non-recurrent congestion and partly to the difficulty of using the simulation tools effectively. This study has suggested a methodology to analyze the independent impacts of the recurrent and non-recurrent congestion on target freeway segments. The proposed methodology is based on an elaborately calibrated simulation analysis, using real traffic data obtained during the recurrent and non-recurrent congestion periods. This paper has also summarized the evaluation results from the field tests of two ITS technologies, which were developed to provide drivers with real-time traffic information under traffic congestion. As a result, their accuracy may not be guaranteed during the transition periods such as the non-recurrent congestion. In summary, this study has been focused on the importance of non-recurrent congestion compared to recurrent congestion, and the proposed methodology is expected to provide a basic foundation for prioritizing limited government investments for improving freeway network performance degraded by recurrent or non-recurrent congestion.
