Abstract

Roundabouts face a congestion problem when there are unbalanced traffic conditions, especially during peak times. The congestion at roundabouts results in long delay times and low level of service. Some research has addressed congestion problems of the metering roundabout, however, few studies have focused on the congestion issues of the double signals metering roundabout. This research bridges this gap through analyzing the congestion issues of the Old Belair double signals roundabout in Adelaide. The research proposes a new analysis method based on a four-nodes intersection in order for double signals roundabout analysis to be carried out as follows: firstly, at the modeling stage, a connection of four individual intersections, adjustment of lane geometry, input of directional traffic volumes, priority and phase time set up are proposed. Secondly, for calibration, PFF, critical gap, follow-up headway and extra bunching values have been applied. The results from the analysis show that the new method is able to analyze the delay time, level of service, degree of saturation and allow for further analysis.

회전교차로는 각 접근로의 진입교통량이 불균형할 경우 주 접근로의 대기행렬이 길어지게 됨으로 회전교차로 전체의 용량이 감소되는 단점이 있다. 이에 보통 1대의 신호등으로 운영되는 Metering 회전교차로의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만 2대의 신호등에 의해 운영되는 Metering 회전교차로의 연구는 미흡하다. 교차로 분석에 널리 사용되는 SIDRA6 또한 2대의 신호등으로 구성된 회전교차로의 분석에 제약이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 2대의 신호등으로 운영되는 호주 Adelaide의 Old Belair 회전교차로를 대상으로 4-nodes Intersection을 이용한 새로운 분석방법을 제시하고 분석을 실시하였다. 모형 구축 방법에서 4개의 독립 교차로 연결, 기하구조 반영, 방향별 교통량 입력, 우선권 및 신호현시에 대해 설명하였으며 정산방법에서는 PFF, Critical Gap, Follow-up Headway 그리고 Extra Bunching 값의 적용에 대하여 제시 하였다. 그 결과 회전교차로의 효과척도인 지체시간 및 서비스 수준의 분석이 가능하며 그 외 포화도 및 상충교통량 등 다양한 분석이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
