초록

주도로 차량 위주의 좌회전감응신호운영은 보행대기시간은 더 늘어날 수 있기 때문에 이는 보행자의 불편 또는 스트레스를 유발하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 좌회전감응신호 적용 전·후의 보행대기시간과 설문조사를 통해 보행자가 느끼는 스트레스를 살펴보았으며 이를 개선하기 위하여 보행자우선 감응신호 시뮬레이션(VISSIM) 분석을 하였다. 좌회전감응신호 적용 후 보행대기시간은 비첨두시간에 37% 증가했다. 설문 결과 보행대기시간이 길어졌다가 62.1%, 그 중 78%는 그로 인하여 스트레스를 받는거로 나타났다. 한편 보행자우선 감응신호 시뮬레이션(VISSIM) 분석 결과, 차량 통행속도는 1.07km/h(2.5%)로 소폭 감소한 반면 보행 평균대기시간은 15.51초(28%) 감소하여 크게 개선되었다. 따라서 보행자우선 감응신호는 보행 대기시간을 감소시켜 보행자 스트레스를 완화할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Since the operation of an reft-turn actuated signal driven mainly by vehicles may increase the waiting time for walking, this signal causes inconvenience or stress to pedestrians. Therefore, in this study, the change in waiting time for walking before and after the application of an reft-turn actuated signal and the stress on the pedestrians were investigated through a questionnaire. The investigation showed that the waiting time for walking increased by 37% during non-peak time. Also the waiting time for walking of 62.1% of pedestrians became longer and 78% of them were stressed because of it. Meanwhile, simulation(VISSIM) showed that the vehicle travel speed slightly decreased to 1.07km/h(a 2.5% decrease), and the average waiting time for walking decreased by 15.51sec(a 28% decrease) with a pedestrian priority actuated signal. Therefore, it is expected that the pedestrian priority actuated signal can reduce the waiting time for walking and relieve pedestrian stress.
