초록

제한속도는 주행속도에 영향을 주기 때문에 교통흐름은 물론 교통사고와도 밀접한 관계에 있다. 기존 제한속도 산정 방법은 공학적 판단요소로 차로수, 교차로 간격, 진출입로 수, 횡단보도 수, 85백분위 속도, 토지이용 형태, 도로기하 특성 등 다양한 요소들을 고려하지만 대부분이 교통시설에 해당되고 교통량을 고려한 교통영향분석이 이루어지지 않고 있어 공학적 분석이 미흡하다고 할 수 있다. 또한 지점속도인 85%속도만으로는 도로 전체의 교통류 특성을 잘 반영해주지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 교차로 간격과 교통량 조건에서 제한속도 변화가 순행속도와 통행속도의 크기와 그 차이에 미치는 영향을 상세하게 분석하였다. 그리고 그 결과를 활용하여 제한속도 변경 전과 동일한 서비스수준을 유지토록 하여 속도개선효과를 높이고 순행속도와 통행속도의 차이를 줄이는 제한속도 산정방안을 제안하였다. 그리고 교통량 변화에 따른 가변적 제한속도 운영방안도 제시하였다. 본 방안은 속도개선효과를 확보하면서 교통사고 심각도에 영향을 주는 속도 차이를 줄이고 교통량 변화에 따른 주행속도 변화를 반영한 제한속도 운영으로 운전자들의 제한속도 준수율을 높여 안전측면에서도 효과가 기대된다.

Because the speed limit affects moving speed, it is closely related to traffic accidents as well as traffic flow. The existing speed limit calculation methods consider various engineering factors such as lanes, intersection spacing, driveways, crosswalks, 85 percentile speed, land uses, and roadway geometric characteristics etc. However, it can be said that the engineering analysis is insufficient because the traffic impact analysis considering traffic volume is not carried out. In addition, only 85 percentile speed, which is the spot speed, does not reflect the characteristics of the traffic flow on the road. In this paper, the effect of the speed limit change on the moving speed and the travel speed was analyzed in detail accordinr to the variation of intersection spacing and traffic volume. And by using the results, we proposed a speed limit calculation method that maintains the same service level as before the speed limit change, thereby increasing the speed improvement effect and reducing the difference between moving speed and travel speed. In addition, a variable speed limit operation method according to the change in traffic volume was also suggested. This method is expected to be effective in terms of safety by reducing the speed difference, which affects the severity of traffic accidents, while securing the speed improvement effect, and increasing the speed limit compliance rate of drivers by operating the speed limit that reflects the speed change due to the variation of traffic volume.
