For the evaluation of roadway safety, diverse methods, including before-after studies, simple comparison using historic traffic accident data, methods based on experts' opinion or literature, have been applied. Especially, many research efforts have developed traffic accident prediction models in order to identify critical elements causing accidents and evaluate the level of safety. A traffic accident prediction model must secure predictability and transferability. By acquiring the predictability, the model can increase the accuracy in predicting the frequency of accidents qualitatively and quantitatively. By guaranteeing the transferability, the model can be used for other locations with acceptable accuracy. To this end, traffic accident prediction models using non-linear regression, artificial neural network, and structural equation were developed in this study. The predictability and transferability of three models were compared using a model development data set collected from 90 signalized intersections and a model validation data set from other 33 signalized intersections based on mean absolute deviation and mean squared prediction error. As a result of the comparison using the model development data set, the artificial neural network showed the highest predictability. However, the non-linear regression model was found out to be most appropriate in the comparison using the model validation data set. Conclusively, the artificial neural network has a strong ability in representing the relationship between the frequency of traffic accidents and traffic and road design elements. However, the predictability of the artificial neural network significantly decreased when the artificial neural network was applied to a new data which was not used in the model developing.

This paper deals with the passenger transfer trips counted from smart bus-card data from Seoul transit network to understand the current operational condition of the system. Objective of this study is to relocate the location of the transit transfer centers. It delivers a bi-level programing model. The upper model is a linear 0-1 binary integer program having the objective of total travel cost minimization constrained by the number of transfer centers and the total construction budget. The lower model is an user equilibrium assignment model determining the passengers' route choice according to the transfer center locations. The proposed bi-level programming model was tested in an example network. The result showed that the proposed was able to find the optimal solution.

Earthquakes damage roadway bridges and structures, resulting in significant impacts on transportation system Performance and regional economy. Seismic risk analysis (SRA) procedures establish retrofit priorities for vulnerable highway bridges. SRA procedures use average daily traffic volumes to determine the relative importance of a bridge. This research develops a cost-effective transportation network analysis (TAN) procedure for evaluating numerous traffic flow analyses in terms of the additional system cost due to failure. An important feature of the TNA Procedure is the use of an associative memory (AM) approach in the artificial intelligence held. A simple seven-zone network is developed and used to evaluate the TNA procedure. A subset of link failure system states is randomly selected to simulate synthetic post-earthquake network flows. The performance of different AM model is evaluated. Results from numerous link-failure scenarios demonstrate the applicability of the AM models to traffic flow estimation.

ATIS(Advanced Traffic Information System) provide valuable information as the travel time and traffic congestion, detour, traffic accident information to drivers, so it is being in the spotlight. But so far, the study on the consumer satisfaction with providing traffic information is incomplete. So, this study run a Canonical discriminant analysis and a Canonical correlation analysis by a QuantificationIItheory based on a Traffic Information Satisfaction image data through questionnaires, and found out the factors with influence on the consumer satisfaction. And this study definitely found out the correlation between consumer's recognition and traffic information satisfaction through understanding the change on the recognition about traffic information satisfaction by a QuantificationItheory. Finally, this study found out the change on the sensibility recognition of drivers by running the principal component anlysis, developed the traffic information satisfaction evaluation model considering the change on the recognition by using the structural equation model.

This research deals with the multi-modal continuous network design problem to resolve the transportation policy problems for constructing and operating transportation facilities with considering the mutual decision-making process between transportation operator and user in the multi-modal network. Particularly, in the consideration of changes in travel pattern between transport modes due to the changes in transportation policy, road network for passenger car and transit network for public transportation are considered together. In the development of network design model, more rational Stackelberg equilibrium(cooperative game) rather than more general Nash equilibrium(non-cooperative game) approach is used and sensitivity analysis considering transport mode is used. A multi-modal continuous network design model in this study is developed for the arbitrary continuous network design parameters(${\epsilon},\hat{\epsilon},p$) of transportation policy decisions. As examples of application and evaluation for these design parameters, the developed model is applied to calculate 1)the optimal capacity of road link in the road transport policy, 2)the optimal frequency of transit line in public transport policy and 3)the optimal modal split in transport modal share policy.

지체함수는 교통량과 속도의 관계를 단조 증가함수로 단순화하여 교통수요예측의 교통배정모형에 사용되게 된다. 이 지체함수를 구하는 방법은 두가지로 구분할 수 있는데, 첫째는 교통배정을 통해 구해지는 추정 링크통행량과 실측 교통량을 비교해 가면서 정산하는 방법이고 둘째는 교통량-속도 관계로부터 직접 구하는 방법이다. 첫째 방법은 구해진 O/D 통행량표의 부정확성과 모형에 내재하는 오류가 이 지체함수에 포함될 가능성이 매우 높은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교통량-속도 관계로부터 직접 도로유형별 지체함수를 구하여 교통배정에 적용하는 새로운 방법을 정입하였다. 교통망 전체에 대하여 단일 지체함수를 적용하는 기존의 방법은, 교통량 변화에 따른 통행시 간의 변화가 보다 둔감한 고급도로에 변화는 고급도로일수록 둔감하게 나타나며, 교통배정에 도로유형별 지체함수를 적용할 경우 단일 지체함수 적용시에 비하여 고급도로에 더 많은 교통량이 배정되게 된다. 본 연구의 결과, 교통망상에서 보다 현실적인 도로유형별 분담을 이룰 수 있는 방안이 정립됨으로써, 지금까지 교통배정에 있어 상대적으로 과소평가되어 왔던 고속도? 등 고급도로의 실제 타당성을 반영할 수 있게 되어 도로의 기능적 배차구조가 확립된 효율적인 교통망을 구성할 수 있는 계기를 마련한 것으로 판단된다.

도시확산과 지방분권화의 시대적 추세는 도시경제 및 교통-토지이용모형의 구조에 도 영향을 미치고 있다. 첫째, 도시의 공간적 확산과 고밀도화로 인한 도시내 제반 경제.사 회활동이 이전보다는 훨씬 다양해지고 복잡해지고 있다. 둘째, 지방분권화로 인해 대도시내 작은 지역단위별 주민들이 자신의 지역문제에 대한 관심과 요구들이 증가하고 있다. 또한 대부분의 도시계획 및 정책은 대도시내 공간적으로 뿐만 아니라 서로 다른 이익집단에 상이 한 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 이러한 요인으로 인해 대도시 모형은 1) 도시내 제반활동의 흐름을 체계적으로 분석할 수 있어야 하며, 2) 도시계획 및 정책의 효과를 도시 내 세분화된 공간별, 업종별로 분석할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구는 Wilson의 모형에 도시내 중요한 경제활동인 통근과 shopping변수를 추가하여 Wilson의 모형이 대도시모형으로 이용 될 때 발생하는 문제를 해결하였다. 또한 모형을 구성함에 있어 Matrix Inversion과 Non-linear Programming Model의 두 가지 방법을 도입하고 그 장단점을 비교하였다. Matrix Inversion의 경우 해 (Solution)을 찾기가 쉬워 실질적이고 승수계산과정에서 각 Round마다 승수의 크기를 알 수 있는 반면 Programming을 통한 모형의 경우 제약식의 도 입이 용이하고 목적함수의 형태를 바꾸는 것이 가능하므로 이론적 기틀을 세우는데 유리한 접근방법으로 분석되었다.

The Purpose of this study is to develop a simulation model for large-scale network with interrupted flow as well as uninterrupted flow. The Cell Transmission(CT) theory is used to simulate traffic flow. Flow transition rules have been newly developed to simulate traffic flows at merging and diverging sections, and signalized intersections. In the model, it is assumed that dynamic OD table is exogenously given. Simulation results for toy network shows that the model can explain queue dynamics not only in signalized intersections of urban arterials, but also in merging and diverging sections of freeway. In case study, the model successfully simulated traffic flows of 145,000 vehicles on CBD network of city of Seoul with 74 traffic zones, 133 signalized intersections among 395 nodes and 1110 links.

교통수요와 공급은 상호 밀접한 연관성을 지니고 있다. 교통수요는 교통시설 서비 스수준 및 교통시설의 이용가격에 영향을 미치는 반면에 교통시설 공급비용과 서비스수준은 교통수요에 영향을 준다. 또한, 교통수요와 공급간의 상호작용은 도시공간상에서 발생하기 때문에 교통시스템의 공간적 구조 및 도시의 공간적 특성은 공급, 가격 및 수요를 통합한 교통균형모형에 있어서 매우 중요한 영향인자로 작용하게 된다. 그러나, 이제까지 개발된 교통균형모형에서는 통행인의 통행시간가치 및 교통체증의 도시공간상 변화가능성을 적절하 게 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시공간상에서 통행인의 통행시간가치 변화패턴 을 반영한 수 도시공간상에서의 교통시설의 최적 서비스 수준, 교통수단별 최적요금체계를 도출할 수 있었다. 단핵도시구조를 지닌 도시공간상에서의 최적버스요금은 통행거리에 따라 할증되는 체계를 가져야 한다. 선행연구에서는 승용차에 대한 통행혼잡세 부과는 소득역분 배적인 효과를 초래하는 것으로 알려졌다. 그러나 버스의 요금구조나 서비스 수준이 최적수 준에서 제공된다면 통행혼잡세는 소득역분배적 결과를 초래하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Various researches have been performed on the topic of pedestrian traffic flow. At the beginning, the modeling and simulation method for the vehicular traffic flow was simply applied to pedestrian traffic flow. Recently, CA based simulation models are frequently applied to pedestrian flow analysis. Initially, the square Lattice Model is a base model for applying to pedestrians of counterflow and then Hexagonal Lattice Model improves its network as a hexagonal cell for more realistic movement of the avoidance of pedestrian conflicts. However these lattice models express only one directional movement because they express only one directional movement. In this paper, MLPM (the Multi-Layer Pedestrian Model) is suggested to give various origins and destinations for more realistic pedestrian motion in some place.
