Abstract

In general, design of urban intersections are fundamentally different from rural intersections, but current urban intersection design has been appled to rural standards. This study has suggested the design standard for urban intersection grades based on the existing literature, field investigating and comparative analysis. Moreover, this study analyzes and compares the differences between urban and rural intersections, and intersections have been derived by appropriate design standards after reviewing the domestic and international grades design criteria. Site survey was performed to validate the derived design criteria by analyzing statistically to establish the design standards. Results were produced for the intersection portion grade standards by comparing the number of instructions which produced appropriate slope degree from 2.5% to 3% in normal condition and slope can be extended to 5% in some critical cases. In-situ investigation was performed to validate the produced data where slope was found from 0.0~8.6%. Additional data of accident analysis were also collected for the validation of the suggested data and correlation analysis was performed using the SPSS tool. Data were analyzed statistically using 95% significance level for vehicle-to-vehicle collided, head-on collision accident rates, where accident rates significantly correlated with the grade. Therefore, appropriate grade at the intersection should be designed and applied in order to reduce the number of accidents at the intersection. Finally, appropriate grades for urban intersections are suggested from 1-3% for normal cases and grades could extend up to 5% for unavoidable cases where extra care must be taken when designing.

도시부 교차로의 설계는 지방부 교차로와 근본적으로 달라야하나, 현행 도시부 교차로 설계는 지방부 교차로 설계기준을 준용하고 있다. 이에 국내외 교차로 종단경사 관련기준 문헌고찰, 현장조사 및 비교분석 등의 연구를 통해 향후 도시부에 적용할 적정 교차로 종단경사를 제시하였다. 본 연구는 도시부 및 지방부 교차로의 차이점을 비교 분석하고, 국내외 교차로 종단경사 설계기준을 검토한 후 적정 설계기준(안)을 도출하였다. 도출된 설계기준(안)의 검증을 위해 현장조사를 시행하고 통계분석을 시행하여 설계기준을 정립하였다. 여러 지침들을 비교하여 분석한 결과 도시부 교차로 종단경사 기준은 2.5~3% 정도가 적절할 것으로 판단되고, 부득이한 경우 5%정도가 적정경사인 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 결과를 검증하기 위해 현장조사를 시행한 결과 0.0부터 8.6까지 다양한 종단경사 데이터를 확보하였다. 통계검증을 위한 사고데이터를 추가로 수집하여 SPSS를 활용한 상관관계 분석을 시행하였다. 95% 유의수준으로 분석한 결과 정면충돌사고율과 차대차추돌사고율이 종단경사와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 교차로 사고건수를 줄이기 위해 해당 변수들의 영향을 최소화 하기위한 노력을 하여야 하고, 그러한 노력의 일환으로 적정 교차로 종단경사를 적용한 설계가 이루어져야 함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 도시부 교차로의 종단경사는 1~3%의 적정수준을 유지할 필요가 있고, 부득이한 경우에도 3~5%를 넘지 않도록 설계시 주의를 기울여야 한다.
