Abstract

This paper develops a travel time prediction algorithm that can be used for real-time application. The algorithm searches for the most similar pattern in historical travel time database as soon as a series of real-time data become available. Artificial neural network approach is then taken to forecast travel time in the near future. To examine the performance of this algorithm, travel time data from Gyungbu Highway were obtained and the algorithm is applied. The evaluation shows that the algorithm could predict travel time within 4% error range if comparable patterns are available in the historical travel time database. This paper documents the detailed algorithm and validation procedure, thereby furnishing a key to generating future travel time information.

현재까지 통행시간 예측과 관련된 다양한 연구들이 수행되었지만, 한국고속도로 특성에 맞는 예측방법론에 대한 실증연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실제 통행시간을 기반으로한 DSRC 자료를 바탕으로 한국고속도로에 적절한 예측방법론을 도출한다. 경부고속도로 안성 JC~오산IC 구간의 24시간 DSRC 자료를 이용하며 단주기 통행시간 예측 및 비선형 관계에서 높은 정확도를 보이는 인공신경망 기법을 적용한다. 이어서 랜덤난수를 이용한 통행시간 예측결과의 정확도 검증을 실시한다. 통행시간 예측결과 오차율이 약 4%로 우수한 예측력을 보였으며, 이는 패턴기반 인공신경망 예측시 이력자료의 전처리 과정과 최적의 입력층 및 은닉층의 선정으로 인한 결과로 판단된다. 통행시간 예측결과의 검증을 위해서 랜덤난수를 이용하였으며, 랜덤난수가 이력자료 패턴에 포함되지 않은 경우 실측치와의 오차율이 18.98%로 높게 도출되었다. 이는 인공신경망을 이용한 통행시간 예측시 패턴DB가 예측의 정확도에 주요하게 작용한 결과로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해서 한국고속도로 특성에 맞는 통행시간 예측 및 정보제공이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
