Abstract

Aggressive driving leads to a greater crash potential because it threatens surrounding vehicles. This study conducted traffic simulation experiments using driving behavior data obtained from multi-agent driving simulations. VISSIM traffic simulator and surrogate safety assessment model (SSAM) were used to identify the impacts of aggressive driving on traffic stream in terms of safety and operational efficiency. Market penetration rates (MPR) of aggressive driving vehicle, coupled with various traffic conditions, were taken into consideration in analyzing the impacts. As expected, it was identified that aggressive driving vehicles tended to deteriorate the traffic safety performance. From the perspective of operational efficiency, interesting results were observable. Under level of service (LOS) A, B, and C, it was observed that the average travel speed increased with greater MPRs. Conversely, the average travel speed decreased with under LOS D and E conditions. The outcome of this study would be effectively used for developing safety-related policies for reducing aggressive driving behavior.

공격운전은 주변차량 운전자를 위협하며 주행하기 때문에 교통사고 발생 개연성이 높다. 따라서 공격운전의 법제도 마련, 검지, 관리방안 등 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 공격운전의 주행행태가 교통류에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. Multi-agent 주행 시뮬레이션과 교통류 시뮬레이션 VISSIM을 이용하여 공격운전의 거동을 구현하였다. 교통류 시뮬레이션과 상충분석을 이용하여 공격운전이 교통운영효율성 및 교통안전성 측면에서 교통류에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 시나리오는 다양한 교통상황과 공격운전차량 비율을 고려하여 설정하였다. 상충분석 결과 일반적으로 공격운전 주행행태는 교통안전성을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 교통운영효율성 분석결과 흥미로운 점은 서비스 수준 A, B, C 경우 공격운전차량 비율이 증가할수록 평균주행속도가 증가하였다. 이와 반대로 서비스 수준 D와 E인 경우 공격운전차량 비율이 증가할수록 평균주행속도가 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과는 공격운전을 줄이기 위한 교통안전정책 마련 시 기초자료로서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
