Truck demand analysis based on TCS data has limitation in that TCS data can not provide truck O/D data for each type of truck vehicle. This study conducted video survey for classifying truck vehicle types. By using TCS data and vehicle ratio by region/cities type, truck O/D data on expressway were estimated. It was found that average travel distances of small truck, medium truck and large truck were 52km/veh, 56km/veh and 97km/veh, respectively by analysing truck O/D data estimated in this study. The reliability analysis showed that check points where error rate is lower than 30% comprise of 87.3%. It is considered that estimated O/D data by truck vehicle types would be useful for the analysis of truck demand of expressway.

최근 고속도로의 길이와 운전 차량 수가 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있어 운전자들에게 고속도로 교통상황를 신속하고 정확하게 제공하는 것이 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 고속도로통행료수납시스템(TCS: Toll Collection Systrem)은 전국 고속도로를 주행하는 차량의 통행 정보를 실시간으로 제공하므로 교통 상황 예측에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. TCS 자료는 차량이 입구영업소를 통과한 후 출구영업소를 통과하는 데 소요된 시간으로서, 운전한 시간, 휴게소 체류시간 등을 모두 포함한 통행시간으로 운전자의 운전 특성, 통행 목적, 피로의 정도에 따라 편차가 크게 나타난다. TCS 자료의 통행시간을 기초로 예측된 정보는 이러한 불확실성을 포함하고 있기 때문에 이를 활용하기 다양한 데이터처리 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 TCS 자료의 효율적인 전처리 및 교통 예측 기법 현황에 대하여 기술하고 향후 발전 방향을 제시하였다.

현재 사용되고 있는 통행시간 분류방법은 하나의 통행시간을 대푯값으로 가지고 있다. 이에 문제점은 고속도로 특성으로 규정 속도 이상의 속도로 주행하는 차량, 규정 속도 및 휴게소 이용차량, 운전자의 운전 습성, 통행 목적, 피로의 정도, 운전자 성향과 도로상황에 따라 통행시간이 다르게 나타나는 점이다. TCS(Toll Collection System) 자료는 고속도로의 다양한 특성이 포함되어 있으며, 대상 구간의 거리가 멀수록 목적지에 도달하는 통행시간의 분산이 커지는 특성 또한 보인다. 따라서 이를 처리하기 위한 효율적인 통행시간 분류, 구간대표통행시간 추출 알고리즘이 필요하다. 기존의 방법은 전체 통행차량의 통행시간을 감안한 방법으로 통행시간 예측시 정확성이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 TCS 자료를 Fuzzy c-means 알고리즘을 이용하여 일일 고속도로 통행시간의 시간별 주행특성을 고려한 대푯 값을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실제 서울-청주 구간을 운행한 TCS 자료를 가지고 실시한 실험으로, 주행특성 및 도로상황을 고려한 Fuzzy c-means를 이용한 통행시간 분류방법과 기존의 통행시간 분류 방법을 통한 통행시간을 PIFAB를 사용 TCS 자료의 실제 통행시간과 경로통행시간을 비교 평가하였다. 평가한 결과 본 연구에서 제안하는 Fuzzy c-means기법은 기존 방법인 MAD기법보다 75%, 신뢰구간(95%) 추출법 대비 81%의 정확성을 제고하였다.

Traffic data by vehicle classification is difficult for mutual exchange of data due to the different vehicle classification from each other by the data sources; as a result, application of the data is very limited. In Particular. in case of TCS vehicle classification in national highways, passenger car, van and truck are mixed in one category and the practical usage is very low. The research standardize the vehicle classification to convert other data and develop the model which can estimate national highway traffic data by the standardized vehicle classification from the raw traffic data obtained at the highway tollgates. The tollgates are categorized into several groups by their features and the model estimates traffic data by the standardized vehicle classification by using the point estimation and bootstrap algorithm. The result indicates that both of the two methods above have the significant level. When considering the bias of the extreme value by the sample size, the bootstrap algorithm is more sophisticated. Using result of this study, we is expect the usage improvement of TCS data and more specific comparison between the freeway traffic investigation and link volume on freeway using the TCS data.

In 2002, the 5-day workweek policy was effective in Korea. As we have expected, the 5-day workweek policy has changed people's travel behavior during weekdays and weekends. Several studies have been done to understand these changes and impacts on transportation systems. However, these studies have only focused on travel pattern changes without considering spatial factors. Said in another way, although individual travel pattern changes are usually investigated, indices adopted cannot describe travel pattern changes in a proper way due to lack of the spatial distribution measure. This study aims to analyze travel change since the 5-day work week policy in effect using a new index (i.e. Travel Vector Index) developed in this study, which can explain travel pattern changes in terms of magnitude and spatial point of views. The new index uses a GIS technology and TCS (Toll Collection System) databases in Korea. The results in this study show that the index is very useful and reliable to measure the travel patterns changes. They are applied to TCS data set and the results show that the 5-day workweek policy significantly affects on travel behaviors.

Path travel time based on departure time (PTTDP) is key information in advanced traveler information systems (ATIS). Despite the necessity, forecasting PTTDP is still one of challenges which should be successfully conquered in the forecasting area of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). To address this problem effectively, a methodology to dynamically predict PTTDP between motorway interchanges is proposed in this paper. The method was developed based on the relationships between traffic demands at motorway tollgates and PTTDPs between TGs in the motorway network. Two different data were used as the input of the model: traffic demand data and path travel time data are collected by toll collection system (TCS) and dedicated short range communication (DSRC), respectively. The proposed model was developed based on k-nearest neighbor, one of data mining techniques, in order for the real applications of motorway information systems. In a feasible test with real-world data, the proposed method performed effectively by means of prediction reliability and computational running time to the level of real application of current ATIS.

Travel time estimation under given traffic conditions is important for providing drivers with travel time prediction information. But the present expressway travel time estimation process cannot calculate a reliable travel time. The objective of this study is to estimate the path travel time spent in a through lane between origin tollgates and destination tollgates on an expressway as a prerequisite result to offer reliable prediction information. Useful and abundant toll collection system (TCS) data were used. When estimating the path travel time, the path travel time is estimated combining the link travel time obtained through a preprocessing process. In the case of a lack of TCS data, the TCS travel time for previous intervals is referenced using the linear interpolation method after analyzing the increase pattern for the travel time. When the TCS data are absent over a long-term period, the dynamic travel time using the VDS time space diagram is estimated. The travel time estimated by the model proposed can be validated statistically when compared to the travel time obtained from vehicles traveling the path directly. The results show that the proposed model can be utilized for estimating a reliable travel time for a long-distance path in which there are a variaty of travel times from the same departure time, the intervals are large and the change in the representative travel time is irregular for a short period.

The occupancy based O/D is essential for measuring efficiency of various transportation policies like HOV/HOT lane, ramp metering, and public parking station. There has been many studies on occupancy survey methodology and O/D estimation using TCS (Toll Collection System) data separately. The occupancy O/D estimation methodology using TCS data has not been attempted thus far. An overall process from data collection stage to the occupancy O/D estimation stage has been suggested. Field survey was performed at the northbound Seoul toll station of Gyeongbu Expressway by each 2 hours of AM peak, PM non-peak, PM peak, midnight periods on a day. The process of matching the TCS data and field survey data classified by tollbooth ID, car type/mode, and arrival time was also performed. One typical output of the results showed that the ratio of single occupancy vehicles bounding for Seoul during the AM peak amounted to 60%. With the key output of this study and the specific O/D estimation methodology suggested, the whole centroid-to-centroid occupancy O/D of the country could be available, and then various applications in which the occupancy information is required could be possible.

The expressway network includes a total of about 1,899 km in our country The only 1,016 km of that is being managed by the closed Toll Collection System(TCS) which is composed of 74 tollgates. We obtain inter-tollgate O-D matrices from that system everyday. But, they are not traffic-zonal O-D matrices. So they have not been used for the expressway traffic analysis and the traffic demand estimation despite of their accuracy. If we could estimate the traffic-zonal O-D matrices from TCS O-D ones, we could perform expressway traffic analysis more efficiently. Moreover we could obtain more precise expressway O-D matrices and traffic-zonal O/D ones by this approach than by the conventional ones. In this paper. we proposed the model estimating traffic-zonal O/D matrices from TCS O-D ones. The assigned volumes with the estimated traffic-zonal O-D matrices produced the only 17.9% error all over the TCS expressway section when compared to the real traffic volumes. So, the proposed model enables for us to estimate more accurate O/D matrics than any other existing methods.
