Abstract

The climate of Korea has clear rainy and dry season due to seasonal wind. In general, The rainy season in Korea is from early summer through to early fall. And precipitation accounted for more than half of the total annual rainfall in this period. This study is aiming to analysis of variation in saturation flow rate at signalized intersection during rainfall. The range of spatial is urban signalized intersections in Seoul and temporal is rainfall or ideal condition in daylight. Traffic data are collected through CCTV of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and on-site video recordings directly. Weather condition data are collected from the Korea Meteorological Administration. In addition, the value of saturation headway and saturation flow rate, in rainfall condition, are derived through video frame analysis. As a results of analysis, decrease of saturation flow rate and increase of saturation headway during rainfall were confirmed by comparison with non-rainfall. The higher rainfall rate is, the more decreased saturation flow rate at the intersections. Rainfall rate is divided three area by the results of statistical test, and saturation flow rate decrease 7%, 17%, 21%, respectively.

우리나라는 지리적으로 중위도 온대성 기후대에 해당하며, 초여름부터 초가을까지 집중호우가 발생한다. 집중호우는 도로의 용량 및 서비스 수준에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 이에 대한 분석의 필요성이 대두되었다. 본 연구는 신호교차로에서의 강우에 따른 포화교통류율 변화를 측정하여 강우가 도로용량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 영상자료를 구축하였고, 영상의 프레임분석을 시행하여 차두간격을 조사하였으며, 조사된 결과를 바탕으로 포화교통류율을 산정하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 일반적인 기상상황에 비해 강우상황에는 포화차두시간이 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며 시간당 강우량이 증가함에 따라 포화교통류율이 점차 감소하는 것을 통계적으로 검정하였다. 통계적 검정 결과 일정 시간당 강우량 범위 내에서는 포화교통류율의 변화가 크지 않으므로 각 시간당 강우량의 범위에 따라 세 영역으로 분류하였으며 각 영역에 따라 포화교통류율은 약 7%, 17%, 21% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
