Abstract

One of most shocking headlines is a serious chain collision accident (CCA). The development of CCA has a temporal and spatial locality, and the information of the CCA is time-critical. Due to these characteristics of CCA, traffic accident information should be rapidly propagated to drivers in order to reduce chain collisions, right after the first accident occurs. Inter-vehicle communication (IVC) based on ad-hoc communication is one of promising alternatives for locally urgent information propagation. Despite this potential of IVC, research for the effects of IVC on the reduction of CCA has not been reported so far. Therefore, this study develops the parallel platform of microscopic vehicle and IVC communication simulators and then analyses the effects of IVC on the reduction of the second collision related to a series of vehicles. To demonstrate the potential of the IVC-based propagation of urgent traffic accident information for the reduction of CCA, the reduction of approaching-vehicle speed, the propagation speed of accident information, and then the reduction of CCA were analysed, respectively, according to scenarios of combination of market rates and traffic volumes. The analysis results showed that CCA can be effectively reduced to 40~60% and 80~82% at the penetration rates of 10% and 50%, respectively.

충격적인 헤드라인 중 하나는 심각한 연쇄추돌 교통사고(chain collision accident, CCA)이다. CCA의 진행과정은 시공간적으로 국부성을 가지며, 그 정보는 시간 임계적(time-critical)이다. 따라서 연쇄추돌을 감소시키기 위해서는 1차 사고 발생 직후 교통사고 정보를 운전자에게 신속하게 전파시켜야 한다. 국부적 긴급 정보전파의 유력한 대안 중 하나는 Ad hoc 통신에 기반을 둔 차량 간 통신(Inter-Vehicle Communication, IVC)이다. 이러한 IVC의 잠재력에도 불구하고, CCA 감소에 대한 IVC의 효과에 대한 연구는 현재까지 보고되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 미시적 차량 시뮬레이터와 IVC 시뮬레이터가 결합된 병렬 플랫폼을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 CCA 감소에 대한 IVC의 효과를 분석하였다. CCA를 감소시키기 위한 IVC기반 긴급 교통사고정보 전파의 가능성을 증명하기 위하여, IVC 장치의 시장 점유율과 교통량 시나리오에 따른 차량의 접근속도 감소, 사고정보의 전파속도, 그리고 CCA의 감소를 분석하였다. 분석결과, IVC 장비의 시장 점유율 10%와 50%에서 CCA는 40~60% 그리고 80~82%로 각각 감소될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
