Abstract

Due to growing interests in the distribution of traffic volume through information dissemination such as VMS and traffic broadcasting system, the research on the driver's reaction and effect of the traffic report has continued. In this study, we propose a methodology, which estimates the traffic volume of diversion and the consequential diversion rate using FTMS data and TCS data, and the estimation is based on the analysis of the national highway and IC, in which real-time FTMS and TCS data are established. We also calculate the diversion rate of actual targeted sections and analyze the changes in time and spatial diversion rate. In this study, we define a deviation (considering a deviation due to dynamic properties of traffic conditions) found when the outflow traffic volume is temporarily higher than the average outflow traffic volume on a relevant time slot after providing traffic information. The diverting volume is considered to be caused by the traffic information, and the study determines the ratio of traffic volume on highways to that of route diversion as the diversion rate. The analysis on changes in the diversion rate in accordance with the time flow, the initial change in the diversion rate on upstream IC that first acquires the report on the traffic congestion is significant. After that, the change in the diversion rate on upstream IC affects the route diversion on downstream IC with spatial and time flow, and this again leads the change in upstream IC. Thereby, we confirmed that there is a feedback-control circulation system in the route diversion.

VMS, 교통방송(라디오), SNS 등 교통정보제공을 통한 교통량 분산에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 교통정보에 대한 운전자의 반응행태 및 효과에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 FTMS 및 TCS 데이터가 구축되어 있는 전국 고속도로 본선부를 분석 대상으로, FTMS 데이터와 TCS 데이터를 이용하여 경로전환 교통량과 그에 따른 경로전환율을 추정하는 방법론을 제시하고, 실제 대상구간의 경로전환율을 산출하여 시간 및 공간적 경로 전환율 변동에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 교통정보 제공 이후, 해당 시간대의 평균 유출교통량에 비해 유출교통량이 일시적으로 증가한 경우 이 편차(도로교통상황의 동적인 특성으로 인한 편차 고려)는 교통정보 제공으로 인한 경로전환 교통량이라 정의하고, 본선 교통량과의 비율을 경로전환율로 계산하였다. 시간흐름에 따른 경로전환율 변화를 분석한 결과, 혼잡상황에 대한 교통정보를 먼저 얻게 되는 상류부 IC에서의 초기 경로전환율(유출교통량) 변화는 일시적으로 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이후 공간적 시간적 흐름에 따라 상류부 IC에서의 경로전환율의 변화는 하류부 IC에서의 경로전환에 영향을 미치고, 이는 다시 상류부 IC에서의 변화를 유도하는 등의 경로전환 순환체계(feedback control loop)가 있음을 확인하였다.
