Abstract

It has been employed TRANSYT-7F and NETSIM to evaluate the validity and effectiveness of improvement on TSM(Transportation Systems Management). But T7F is hard to describe platoon compression and dispersion in actually, and NETSIM takes a long time for network coding, calibration and have difficulty in setting up saturation flow. While Shockwave Model have advantage which can describe platoon compression and dispersion in actually and shorten hours, convenience of application. But Shockwave Model apply unrealistic traffic flow relation ship(U-K curve) and simplify platoon because of difficulty in calculating shockwave's position and cross. For solving limitation of existing shockwave models, It develop new model with 2-regime linear model, New platoon model, Extended shockwave, etc. For verifying the validity of the proposed model, it was compared with delay of T7F and NETSIM by offset variation. In conclusion, it is thought that proposed model have outstanding performance to simulate traffic phenomenon.

단속류의 교통시설 운영개선(TSM, Trasportation Systems Management)의 타당성 및 개선효과 분석을 위해 TRANSYT-7F(T7F)와 NETSIM이 많이 사용되고 있으나, T7F는 현실적인 차량군의 압축 분산효과가 미흡하고, NETSIM은 구축시간이 과다하게 소요되고, 용량설정의 어려움 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 이에 반해, 충격파 모형은 T7F에 비해 차량군의 압축 분산을 더욱 사실적으로 묘사할 수 있으며, NETSIM에 비해서는 분석시간 단축, 적용용이성 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 우수하다. 하지만, 수리적 계산의 어려움으로 인해 비현실적인 교통류관계식(Q-K곡선) 적용, 단순한 차량군 적용 등의 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 충격파이론을 이용한 기존 분석모형의 문제점을 해소하기 위해보다 현실적인 교통류관계식 적용, 새로운 차량군모형 개발, 연장충격파 개념 도입 등 새로운 분석모형을 개발하였으며, 개발모형의 유효성 검증을 위해 다양한 시나리오를 구성하여 T7F와 NETSIM과 비교 평가한 결과 우수한 성능을 보였다.
