Abstract

This paper discusses models for estimating dynamic travel times based on probability theory. The dynamic travel time models proposed in the paper are formulated assuming that the travel time of a vehicle depends on the distribution of the traffic stream condition with respect to the location along a road when the subject vehicle enters the starting point of a travel distance or with respect to the time at the starting point of a travel distance. The models also assume that the dynamic traffic flow can be represented as an exponential distribution function among other types of probability density functions.

이 논문은 확률론적인 방법을 이용하여 동적 통행시간(dynamic travel time) 모형을 도출한다. 동적 통행시간 모형은 차량의 통행시간은 도로 공간상에서의 교통흐름 분포에 따라, 또는 통행구간 출발점에서 시간에 대한 교통흐름의 분포에 따라 결정된다고 가정하여 얻어진다. 이 모형들에서 교통흐름의 분포가 차량의 통행시간에 미치는 정도를 나타내는 확률밀도함수(probability density function)는 여러 가지 형태의 도입될 수 있으나 지수분포를 따른다고 가정한다.
