Abstract

This paper concentrated on estimating the travel time value of individual regional bus passengers in various in-vehicle crowding conditions. In the analysis model, the traffic-selection data of individual transportation passengers based on smart-card data were used. Variables which reflect the level of in-vehicle crowding and the variables of in-vehicle travel time that reflect the level of in-vehicle crowding were included in the model using Box-Cox transformation. The result of this paper indicates that the travel time value experienced by individual users would increase as the in-vehicle crowding level increases. The smart card data used in this paper is considered to have significant implications in terms of conducting more sophisticated and realistic qualitative research to reflect the values of variables for in-vehicle traffic hours and in-vehicle crowding levels, which previously had limitations in observation and quantification. It is expected that the effects of improvement measures for reducing congestion on regional buses can be considered quantitatively by applying the estimation results of crowding multiplier.

차내 혼잡은 대중교통 이용자들의 통행의 질과 관련된 주제라고 할 수 있다. 차량의 제한된 용량과 배차간격 등의 이유로 주로 이용수요가 많은 교통수단 및 운영노선에서 차내 혼잡이 발생되며 이는 실제로 이용자들이 경험하는 통행시간의 가치에 차이를 유발시킨다. 본 연구에서는 오후 첨두시 분석노선 광역버스를 이용하는 개별 통행자의 스마트카드 자료 정보를 기반으로 차내 혼잡에 따른 개별 통행자의 시간가치를 추정하였다. 특히, 차내 혼잡이 개별 통행자가 느끼는 시간가치에 미치는 영향의 크기와 그 형태에 대해서 정교하게 분석하기 위해 Box-Cox transformation로 변환한 변수를 포함하여 모형을 구축하였다. 추정 결과에서 도출된 혼잡승수를 이용하여 2층 버스 도입 시 차내 혼잡 감소에 따른 편익을 산정하였으며 이를 통해 본 연구에서 제시하고 있는 추정 결과의 유의미성과 적용방안에 대해 논의하였다.
