초록

회전교차로의 서비스수준은 관측값을 통해 얻은 기하구조 특성과 파라메터 값을 이용한 분석적 모형을 통해 산정하고 있다. 분석적 모형을 통해 회전교차로 관련 연구가 많이 진행되고 있지만, 변수조합 경우의 수가 방대하여 시뮬레이션을 통한 사례연구 또는 한정적인 특성에 따른 적정 교통량의 범위와 서비스수준을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 변수조절이 보다 다양하고 용이하도록 Visual Basic Application을 활용한 회전교차로 서비스수준 분석 모형을 구축하였다. 구축한 모형으로 다양한 상황에 따른 교통류 상태를 분석하고 회전교차로의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 좌회전, 유턴의 비율이 많아질수록, 접근로별 교통량 분포가 한쪽으로 치우칠수록 회전교차로의 한계 교통량이 감소해 혼잡이 빨리 나타나는 특성을 보였다. 특히, 교통량 분포가 균일하지 않을수록 한계 교통량의 감소가 회전비율의 영향을 덜 받는 것으로 분석되었다.

The service level of the roundabout is estimated through an analytic model using the geometrical characteristics and parameter values obtained from the observations. Although a lot of researches have been conducted on the rotational intersection through an analytical model, the case of variable combinations is enormous, suggesting the range and service level of appropriate traffic volume according to the case study or limited characteristics through simulation. Therefore, in this study, the roundabout analysis model was constructed by using Visual Basic Application to make variable adjustment more easily. The constructed model analyzes traffic conditions according to various situations and analyzes the characteristics of roundabouts. As the result of analysis, the more the ratio of left turn and U-turn, the more the traffic distribution of each approached road was biased to one side, the limit traffic volume of the roundabout decreased and congestion appeared quickly. In particular, the more uneven the distribution of traffic was, the less the Saturation traffic volume was affected by the turnover rate.
