Abstract

This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of methodologies to estimate the space mean speed(SMS) using the time mean speed(TMS) which was collected from the vehicle detection system(VDS) in expressways. To this end, the methodologies presented in prior studies were firstly summarized. It is very hard to achieve exact SMSs and TMSs due to mechanical and communication errors in the field. Thus, a microscopic traffic simulation model was utilized to evaluated the performance. As a result, the harmonic mean and volume-distance weighted harmonic mean were close to the SMS in the case in which the TMSs of individual vehicles were used. However, when the 30-second-interval aggregated TMS were used, the volume-distance weighted harmonic mean was outstanding. In this study, a radar detector was installed in the Joongbu expressway to collect the SMS. The trajectory of individual vehicles collected from the detector were used to calculate the SMS, which was compared with the estimates using other methodologies selected in this study. As a result, the volume-distance weighted mean was turned out to be close to the SMS. However, as the congestion becomes severe. the deviation between the two speed becomes bigger.

본 연구에서는 고속도로 VDS에서 수집된 시간평균속도를 이용하여 공간평균속도를 산출하는 방법들의 성능을 비교하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 먼저, 이전 연구들에서 제시된 시간평균속도를 이용한 공간평균속도 추정방법들을 정리하였다. 현장에서 수집된 시간평균속도와 공간평균속도 자료는 기계 혹은 측정 상의 오차로 정확한 값을 보장하기 힘들다. 따라서 미시교통시뮬레이션모형을 이용하여 이상적인 상황에서 공간평균속도 값을 산출한 후, 본 연구에서 선정된 공간평균속도 산출방법론을 통해 산출된 추정값과 비교하였다. 비교 결과, 개별차량의 시간평균속도 자료를 이용하는 경우, 조화평균 값과 교통량-거리가중 조화평균 값이 공간평균속도 값에 가장 근사하게 분석되었다. 그리고 30초 단위 시간평균속도를 사용하는 경우에는 교통량-거리가중 조화평균 값이 가장 유사하였다. 현장에서 공간평균속도를 구하는 것이 매우 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 중부고속도로에 레이더검지기를 설치하여 개별 차량의 경로자료를 수집한 후, 경로자료를 이용하여 공간평균속도를 산출하였다. 분석 결과, 교통량-거리가중 조화평균을 이용한 추정값이 공간평균속도에 비교적 유사한 것으로 나타났다.
