Abstract
This study investigates the effect on automobile traffic flow of the bike lane configuration via the road diet implemented in Nam-Gu, Busan using the microscopic simulator TransModeler. The results show that the increases in average delay time and stopped time experienced by automobile vehicles after implementing the road diet during the peak period are significant, but those during the non-peak period are insignificant at alpha=0.1. The results in peak period are consistent with the results of the past studies, which concluded that a road diet can contribute to deteriorating the level of service when the automobile traffic flow rate on the existing roadway is relatively high. For the non-peak period, the analysis results may reflect the fact that the automobile traffic flow is not severly affected by the road diet due to the reserved capacity.
