Abstract

This study aims to calculate reliable sectional travel speeds with the consideration of the characteristics of the probe data collected in the interrupted traffic flow. First, in order to analysis the characteristics of the probe data, we looked into the distribution of the sectional travel times of each probe vehicle and compared the difference in the sectional travel speeds of each probe vehicle collected by DSRC. As a result, it is shown that outliers should be removed for the distribution of the sectional travel times. However, The comparison results show that the sectional travel speeds from the DSRC probe vehicles are not significantly different. Finally, based on the distribution characteristics of the sectional travel speeds of each probe vehicle and the representative values counted during a collection period, we drew the optimal outlier removal procedure and evaluated the estimation errors. The evaluation results showed that the DSRC sectional travel speeds were found to be similar to the observed values from actually running vehicles. On the contrary, in the case of the sectional travel speeds of intra-city bus, it was analyzed that they were less accurate than the DSRC sectional travel speeds. In the future, it will be necessary to improve BIS process and make use of the travel information on intra-city buses collected in real time to find various ways of applying it as traffic information.

본 연구는 단속류에서 수집된 프로브 자료의 특성을 고려하여 신뢰성 있는 구간 통행속도를 산출하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 먼저, 프로브 자료의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 각 프로브 차량의 구간 통행시간 분포를 살펴보았고, 단거리전용통신(DSRC)을 통해 수집된 프로브 차량별 구간 통행속도 차이를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 구간 통행시간의 분포는 이상치를 제거하여야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, DSRC 프로브 차량의 구간 통행속도는 뚜렷한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로, 프로브 차량의 구간 통행속도 분포 특성과 수집 주기 동안에 집계된 대표값을 토대로 본 연구에서는 최적의 이상치 제거 절차를 도출하였고, 추정 오차를 평가하였다. 평가 결과, DSRC 구간 통행속도는 실 주행차량의 관측값과 유사한 값으로 나타났다. 반면에, 시내버스 구간 통행속도의 경우는 DSRC 구간 통행속도보다 덜 정확한 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 BIS 프로세스 개선과 실시간으로 수집되는 시내버스의 운행정보를 이용하여 도로소통정보로도 활용할 수 있는 다양한 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다.
