Abstract

Recent proliferation of advanced technologies such as wireless communication, mobile, sensor technology and so on has caused significant changes in a traffic environment. Human beings, in particular drivers, as well as roads and vehicles were advanced on information, intelligence and automation thanks to those advanced technologies; Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and autonomous vehicles are the results of changes in a traffic environment. This study proposed considerations when designing a simulation model for future transportation environments, which are difficult to predict the change by means of advanced technologies. First of all, approximability, flexibility and scalability were defined as a macroscopic concept for a simulation model design. For actual similarity, calibration is one of the most important steps in simulation, and Physical layer and MAC layer should be considered for the implementation of the communication characteristics. Interface, such as API, for inserting the additional models of future traffic environments should be considered. A flexible design based on compatibility is more important rather than a massive structure with inherent many functions. Distributed computing with optimized H/W and S/W together is required for experimental scale. The results of this study are expected to be used to the design of future traffic simulation.

최근 첨단기술의 발전은 교통환경에 커다란 변화를 일으키고 있다. 지능형교통시스템(ITS), 자율주행차량 등은 도로 및 자동차는 물론 운전자까지 정보화, 지능화, 자동화하여 안전하고 효율적인 교통운영에 공헌하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 첨단기술의 도입으로 변화하는 미래 교통환경을 위한 모의실험 모형 설계시 고려해야 하는 사항을 제안하였다. 우선 거시적인 설계 방향으로 현실 유사성, 모형 수용성, 규모 확장성을 제안하고 각각에 대한 구체적 고려사항을 나열하였다. 현실에 유사한 실험을 위하여 정산(calibration) 기능이 중요하며, 통신 특성을 위하여 물리 계층(physical layer) 및 맥 계층(MAC layer)에서 발생하는 현상을 구현하여야 한다. 미래의 새로운 교통환경 실험을 수용하려면 API 등 다른 모형의 추가적인 결합을 위한 인터페이스가 고려되어야 한다. 예측하기 어려운 미래 교통환경을 위한 모의실험 모형은 많은 기능을 내재한 거대한 구성보다는 호환 중심의 설계가 필요하며, 실험 규모 확장을 위하여 H/W와 S/W는 함께 최적화되어야 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 미래 교통환경의 모의실험 모형 설계시 가이드라인으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
