Abstract

Because of short length between interchanges, traffic congestion has been caused by a lot of short trip traffic in the urban section of interregional expressway. Also, in case of expressway with Bus Only Lane, bus causes dangerous situation by conflicting between vehicles and buses in order to access from Bus Only Lane to IC. Therefore, this study aims to propose Express Lane applied by Bus Only Lane as a new lane operation in order to efficiently operate and to analyze the effectiveness on constructing Express Lane to the Pangyo-Hannam section in Gyeongbu Expressway. The study analyzes effectiveness by scenario using the micro traffic simulation tool, VISSIM 5.4. For this, the indicators which evaluate construction effect of Express Lane, are used by average delay time, average speed and total travel time. The results of the study showed the best effectiveness when Express Lane installed one, and it represented an ideal traffic condition when long distance trip traffic of the whole traffic is 25% in the study section. Therefore, the construction of Express Lane using Bus Only Lane achieves positive effectiveness on safety and expense aspect as well as uncongested flow.

고속도로의 도시부 구간에서는 IC간 구간의 길이가 짧아 단거리 통행 차량의 많은 이용으로 지 정체 현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 그리고 중앙버스전용차로가 시행되고 있는 고속도로는 버스가 버스전용차로에 진출입을 하면서 일반차로 차량 흐름에 방해를 주며 차량 간의 상충으로 위험한 상황을 초래하기도 한다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 고속도로의 도시부 구간에서 효율적으로 운영하기 위한 새로운 차로운영 방안으로 버스전용차로를 활용한 Express Lane을 제안하고, 경부고속도로의 판교-한남구간을 대상으로 구축한 Express Lane에 대한 효과를 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 VISSIM 5.4를 활용하여 시나리오 설정에 따른 효과 분석을 실시하였다. 효과를 평가하기 위한 지표로 평균지체시간, 통행속도, 총 통행시간 등을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 대상구간에서는 Express Lane의 수를 1개 설치할 경우에 가장 좋은 효과를 나타나고, 전체교통량 중 장거리 교통량이 25%를 차지할 때 가장 이상적인 교통상황이 구현되는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 버스전용차로를 활용한 Express Lane 구축은 도로의 소통을 원활하게 할 뿐만 아니라 안전적, 비용적 측면에서도 긍정적인 효과를 나타내므로 의미있는 연구라고 판단된다.
