Abstract

Currently the highest speed limit on the road traffic congestion or because you can not cope with climate change to cause a traffic accident may be a factor. According to the Road Traffic Act as well as 20% to 50% in case of inclement weather, but the driver must slow speed left to the judgment of the difficulties, and to slow the vehicle and the relative velocity between the vehicle does not run longer be a big influence on the environment and safety. Thus, variable speed control for drivers on the road, specify the appropriate maximum speed limit in bad weather It keeps motorists slowed the run rate to prevent accidents or reduce the severity of accident damage is expected to be possible. The purpose of this study is the frequent traffic accidents Continuous Busan (City Freeway) around the variable speed control in the appropriate sections so that it can be done by analyzing the characteristics of traffic accidents were the severity of the accident. Highway and urban environment, the geometry of the structure because it has a lot of Curved planar point compared to wet and dry road surfaces by simulated rain wet had bom the more the speed the greater the risk of an accident was the result. Based on these results, the primary section, first urban highway tunnel, near the lamp, near Toll Plaza, near binary Outlet after considering various factors such as speed reduction is needed in the first period by conducting awareness and recognize the need for the participation of the driver and the future city installation and operation of highways in all sectors is expected to be expanded.

현재 도로상에서의 최고속도제한은 교통 혼잡이나 기상변화에 대처하기 힘들기 때문에 교통사고를 유발하는 요인이 될 수 있다. 물론 도로교통법에 따르면 악천후 시 20~50% 속도를 감속시켜야 하지만 운전자들의 판단에 맡겨야 하는 어려움이 있고, 감속하는 차량과 하지 않는 차량들간의 상대속도가 달라져서 주행환경과 안전에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 따라서 가변속도제어는 도로상의 운전자들에게 적절한 최고속도제한을 지정해 줌으로서 운전자들이 악천후 시에 감속된 속도로 달리게 하여 사고를 미연에 방지하거나 사고피해 심각도를 낮출 수 있을 거라 예상된다. 본 연구의 목적은 교통사고가 잦은 부산광역시의 연속류(도시고속도로)를 중심으로 적절한 구간에서 가변속도제어가 실시될 수 있도록 교통사고의 특성을 분석하여 사고 심각도를 조사하였다. 그리고 도시고속도로의 기하구조상 많은 곡선부 환경을 가지고 있으므로 평면 곡선부 지점을 건조한 노면과 젖은 노면을 비교 시뮬레이션 해봄으로써 비에 젖은 노면일수록 속도에 따른 사고위험이 크다는 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 먼저 도시고속도로에서 기본구간, 터널부근, 램프부근, 요금소 부근, 진 출입부 등 다양한 요인을 고려한 뒤 속도감소가 필요한 구간에서 우선 실시하여 운전자들의 참여의식과 필요성을 인식시키고 향후 도시고속도로 전 구간에 설치 및 운영이 확대되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
