The roundabout was developed in the United Kingdom to rectify problems associated with these traffic circles. In 1966, the United Kingdom adopted a mandatory "give-way" rule at alt circular intersections, which required entering traffic to give way, or yield, to circulating traffic. However, the roundabout used in United States or Europe do not common use in Korea. The purposes of the study is to comparatively analyze the effectiveness of roundabout. In pursuing the above, this study designs the scenarios which can reflect the directional traffic volumes, and analyzes the average control delay of roundabout and 4-leg signalized intersection by SIDRA. The main study results are as follows. First, when the entering traffic volume are less than 2,000pcph, the single-lane roundabout is analyzed to be more effective than 4-leg signalized intersection. Second, when the entering traffic volume are less than 3,200pcph, the double-lane roundabout is evaluated to be more effective than 4-leg signalized intersection. Third, which is installed left and right turn lane at intersection, area for the roundabout is analyzed to be less than that for general intersection area.

This study analysed the center control emergency vehicle preemption[EVP] test result on the 1.782 km section around Gangbuk Fire Station. The pros and cons between center control and site control EVP was compared through the review of existing research. The test site was selected based on the higher link speed for choosing low congested area and 4 to 6 lane road. EVP operates green extension under the estimated arrival time to each intersection. This study is about EVP system field application and its evaluation by analyzing EVP operation result with the emergency vehicle's trace, GPS data. The impact on the surrounding traffic was analysed in delay from the queue length survey. Analysis showed the decrease in averge travel time 41.81%, but the increase in delay of surrounding traffic slightly. It is expected that EVP can be applied to the expanded area by researching EVP compensation scheme.

In this paper, we propose an intelligent signal control method based on fuzzy logic applicable in real time. We design membership functions to model occupied time and the number of vehicles for each lane. A priority for each signal phase is computed by the popular Max-Min fuzzy inference based on control rules and membership degrees of prepared two functions at any given time. A tie breaking scheme is considering weighted sum of the rate of occupied time per number of vehicles in that block and the standard deviation of these blocks. Only a signal phase with the highest priority is opened and all others are closed and the duration of the phase opening is computed proportional to the rate of number of weighting vehicles in that signal per all weighted vehicles. The simulation result shows that the proposed method is more efficient than the static control in all simulation conditions in $2{\times}3$ experimental designs with the number of vehicles in intersection and congestion degrees that have all three levels.

유전 알고리듬은 NP-Hard 문제의 해결이나, 함수 최적화, 복잡한 제어기의 파라미터 값 추적 등, 광범위한 분야에 걸쳐 이용되고 있다 일반적인 유전 알고리듬은 적합도 함수를 통해 해들의 품질을 결정하고, 해들의 품질에 따라 선택 연산을 거쳐, 교차나 돌연변이를 통해 우수한 품질의 해를 찾는 과정을 가진다 현재 이 과정은 대부분 소프트웨어적으로 구현되어 범용 프로세서를 통해 수행된다. 그러나 높은 소프트웨어 의존성은 해집단의 크기가 커질수록 교차/변이 연산과 해들의 품질비교에 수행되는 시간을 크게 증가시키는 약점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 순위 기반 선택과 일점 교차(one-point crossover)를 사용한다는 제약하에, 해들의 순위를 정렬 네트워크를 통해 결정하고 해들을 Residue Number System(RNS)로 표현하여 하드웨어적으로 교차연산을 처리하는 프로세서 구조를 제안한다 이러한 접근을 통해 해들의 품질비교에 걸리는 시간을 크게 줄이고 교차/변이 연산의 효율을 높일 수 있다.

This paper discusses a fitness of the control on intersection using fuzzy analytic hierachy process. The validity of control of traffic signal on intersection is the fitness of phase and cycle on the intersection. The validity of the controller is cleared by the comparison of the delay time of vehicle. Fuzzy analytic hierachy process clears the grade of validity of the fixed cycle time controller and adaptive fixed cycle time and fuzzy trafic controller and proposes a new control type a traffic signal by this fuzzy analytic hierachy process.

This paper discusses a fitness of the control on intersection network using fuzzy analytic hierachy process. The validity of control of traffic signal on intersection is phase, cycle of intersection. But the aigent of traffic intersection network is relative of intersection article. Therefor the aigent of traffic network intersection is before intersection passing vechile number, delayed vechile number. Fuzzy analytic hierachy process clears the grade of validity of the fixed cycle time controller and adaptive fixed cycle time and fuzzy traffic controller and proposes a new control type a traffic signal by this fuzzy analytic hierachy process.

The roundabout is a green transportation system which reduces the accident, the congestion cost and greenhouse effect. The purpose of the study is to analyze the multi-legged roundabout's efficiency. In pursuing the above, this study gives particular attention to building the optimal network of multi-legged roundabout and intersections, developing the scenarios for analysis reflected by the proportion of entering traffic volume of main and minor roads, and comparatively analyzing the average delay per car using VISSIM. The main results are as follows. First, when the entering traffic volume are less than 3,500pcph, the 5-legged single and double-lane roundabout are all analyzed to be more effective than intersection. Second, when the entering traffic volume are less than 3,600pcph, the 6-legged single-lane roundabout is analyzed to be more effective than intersection. The 6-legged double-lane roundabout is analyzed to be more effective than intersection. The 6-legged double-lane roundabout is analyzed to be more effective than intersection in all cases of entering volume.

Seoul metropolitan government has been operating traffic signal control system with the name of COSMOS since 2001. COSMOS uses the degrees of saturation and congestion which are calculated by installing loop detectors. At present, inductive loop detector is generally used for detecting vehicles but it is inconvenient and costly for maintenance since it is buried on the road. In addition, the estimated queue length might be influenced in case of error occurred in measuring speed, because it only uses the speed of vehicles passing by the detector. A traffic signal control algorithm which enables smooth traffic flow at intersection is proposed. The proposed algorithm assigns vehicles to the group of each lane and calculates traffic volume and congestion degree using traffic information of each group using VANETs(Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks) inter-vehicle communication. It does not demand additional devices installation such as cameras, sensors or image processing units. In this paper, the algorithm we suggest is verified for AJWT(Average Junction Waiting Time) and TQL(Total Queue Length) under single intersection model based on GLD(Green Light District) Simulator. And the result is better than Random control method and Best first control method. In case real-time control method with VANETs is generalized, this research that suggests the technology of traffic control in signalized intersections using wireless communication will be highly useful.

The time delay is used as a major indicator of the level of traffic congestion on traffic crossroads. For this purpose, the Daechi Station intersection where traffic congestion occurs and the Yeongdong 5 Bridge intersection where the traffic condition is relatively good, and the average lag time based on the field survey with the lag time calculated various simulation programs. comparison of the average control delay of the field survey data the signal intersection analysis model the KHCS Dechi intersection 7.7 second / vehicle Young dong 5 bridge intersection 7.9 second / vehiclehe VISSIM showed a difference Dechi intersection 21.1 second / vehicle and Young dong 5 bridge intersection 8.1 second / vehiclehe T7F showed a difference Dechi intersection 3.3 second / vehicle and Young dong 5 bridge intersection 9.3 second / vehicle. Analyzing the same intersection proved that the results differed from one simulation model to another.
