Abstract

The median exclusive bus lanes with the purpose of improving public transport as part of a public transport promoting policy propel to improves the speed of the bus and guarantee punctuality security of public transportation for citizen satisfaction. In Median Exclusive bus lanes, Intersection operational methods are classified as turn prohibition, left turn, left turn U-Turn after turn prohibition. However, there are not clear criteria for applying for turn left U-Turn and related researches. The purpose of this study is to search a method for more safely operation when we operate turn left U-Turn in median exclusive bus lanes intersection. As a result, Bus stop in median exclusive bus lane should set back 12m for left turn, 17m for left turn U-turn during 60km/h and set back 13m for left turn, 17m for left turn U-turn during 50km/h.

중앙버스전용차로제는 버스의 통행속도를 향상시키고, 대중교통의 정시성 확보를 통하여 버스를 이용하는 시민의 만족도를 향상시키는 목적으로 대중교통 활성화 정책의 일환으로 추진하고 있다. 교차로 운영방식은 회전 제약, 좌회전 허용, 회전 제약 후 좌회전 U-Turn 허용으로 구분된다. 그러나, 현재 좌회전 U-Turn 등 회전차로를 적용하기 위한 명확한 기준이나 연구가 미미한 실정으로 본 연구는 중앙버스전용차로 교차로 특성요인을 고려한 버스정지선 후퇴거리를 제시하였다. 그 결과, 운영속도 60km/h에서 좌회전 허용시에는 12m를 후퇴하여야 하며 좌회전 U-Turn 허용시에는 17m를 후퇴하여야 하며, 50km/h에서 좌회전 허용시에는 13m를, 좌회전 U-Turn 허용시에는 17m를 후퇴하는 것으로 분석되었다.
