Density is applied both three major macroscopic traffic variables (traffic volume, speed, and density) and two measures of effectiveness (MOE) for level of service (LOS) on highway (density and V/C). Especially, it is known for the most accurate MOE on evaluating the LOS of highway. Despite such importance, there is a lack of study on density relatively than other variables for its difficulty of measurement. Existing density estimation methods have some limitations such as density values of same traffic flow vary with collecting time. In this study, we researched actual density measuring method with panoramic image, after each CCTV images in the Sapaesan Tunnel on Seoul Ring Expressway are matched into one panoramic image. Analysis through the Central Limit Theorem shows that density of 24 1 km-images, which means 24 second, applies traffic situation well. That is to say that reasonable density value regardless of collecting time, and practical density which represents actual traffic flow can be taken in case of measuring density by suggested collecting cycle.

Traffic Density is the most important of the three primary macroscopic traffic stream parameters, because it is most directly related to traffic demand(Traffic Engineering, 2004). It is defined as the number of existing vehicles within a given distance at a certain time. However, due to weather, road conditions, and cost issues, collecting density directly on the field is difficult. This makes studies of density less actively than those of traffic volume or velocity. For these reasons, there is insufficient attempts on divers collecting methods or researches on the accuracy of measured values. In this paper, we used the 'Density Measuring System' based on the synthesise technology of several camera images as a method to measure density. The collected density value by the 'Density Mesuring System' is selected as the true value based on the density define, and this value was compared with the density calculated by the traditional measurement methods. As a result of the comparison, the density value using the fundamental equation method is the closest to the true value as RMSE shows 1.8 to 2.5. In addition, we investigated some issues that can be overlooked easily such as the collecting interval to be considered on collecting density directly by calculating the moment density and the average density. Despite the actual traffic situation of the experiment site is LOS B, it is difficult to judge the real traffic situation because the moment density values per second are observed max 16.0 (veh/km) to min 2.0 (veh/km). However, the average density measured for 15 minutes at 30-second intervals was 8.3-7.9 (veh/km) and it indicates precisely LOS B.

해양사고는 도로교통과 달리 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 인명피해가 주로 발생하는 주요 사고의 치사율은 도로교통의 11.7배 이상이다. 해양사고는 외부 환경에 따라 사고 위치가 변하고 즉각적인 조치가 어려워 타 교통에 비해 대형 사고로 이어질 가능성이 매우 크다. 그러나 여전히 사고가 발생하고 난 후 대응하는 등 사후적 관리 단계에 무르고 있어 사고의 주요 요인을 사전에 식별·관리하는 선제적 관리단계로의 전환 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해양사고 발생 지점 밀도 기반의 가변 공간 군집체계를 반영한 해양사고 예측모델을 개발하였다. 반복적인 공간 가산분석을 통해 밀도가 높을수록 작은 규모의 격자 체계를 가질 수 있도록 상세한 공간 군집체계를 구성하였으며, 단순 사고 위험도 예측뿐만 아닌 사고 인과관계를 설명할 수 있는 BN(Bayesian Network) 기반의 모형을 사용하여 해양사고 위험예측 모델을 개발하였다. 또한, Cost-of-Omission을 통해 해양사고 예측확률의 변화와 각 변수들의 영향력을 확인하였으며, 월별 해양사고예측 결과를 GIS를 활용하여 2D/3D 기반으로 시각화하였다.

It is crucial in traffic flow management to maintain productivity and the traffic stability at the same time especially under congested traffic conditions. This issue has not been explicitly addressed under the intelligent transportation system environments. However, the ubiquitous transportation system environments make it possible to collect the data for each vehicle's position and velocity and to perform more sophisticated traffic flow management at individual vehicle or platoon level through V2V and V2I communications. In this paper, a preventive traffic flow management scheme is proposed, in which the objective is to maintain traffic flow stability while the productivity of the system is not decreased. The management scheme is proposed based on Greenshield's model because it is simple and easy to handle. It is considered that further research should be performed to evaluate the various traffic flow models.

The adverse weather is known as a factor that interrupts traffic flow and causes traffic accidents and traffic congestion by lowering visibility of drivers. Especially, in case of fog unlike any other weather conditions, traffic accidents lead to serious accidents and the fatality of the accidents is known to be high. This paper aims to analyze uninterrupted traffic flow characteristics under foggy conditions among adverse weathers. The traffic volumes and speeds under foggy and normal conditions were analyzed. Results indicated that fog with low visibility causes the most insignificant reduction in traffic volumes. On the other hand, the reduction in the speeds due to low visibility was evident. In addition, the relationship between flow, speed, and density in fog were analyzed. Analysis results showed that the fog with less than 200m visibility had clear impact on traffic flow.

본 연구는 식생밀도와 흐름에 따른 수치모형(Nays2D) 하상변동 모의 결과를 서식처 적합도 분석 모델(PHABSIM:Phsical Habtiat Suitability Model)의 입력자료로 활용하여, 식생밀도에 따른 하상 지형 변화가 어류 서식처 적합도에 미치는 영향을 검토한다. 금강 부용리 인근 2km를 대상으로 2차원 모형인 Nays2D를 적용하여 흐름(댐 방류량, 2년 빈도 유량, 100년 빈도 유량 등)과 식생밀도(식생미반영, 현재 밀도, 밀도 감소, 밀도 증가 등)에 따른 하상변동 모의를 실시하였고, 모의 결과값(단면 표고, 유속, 수위)을 물리적 서식처 평가 모델인 PHABSIM의 입력자료로 활용하였다. 피라미 서식을 위한 적정 유속과 수심의 서식처 적합도 지수를 이용하여 각 시나리오 별가중가용면적(WUA: Weighted Usable Area)을 산정하여 비교 분석하여, 식생밀도에 따른 단면 구조의 변화가 WUA 면적과 피라미 서식처 적합도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 검토하였다. 그 결과, 수목 밀도를 미반영한 하상변동 모의 결과를 PHABSIM의 입력 자료로 활용하였을 때 가중가용면적이 가장 높았고, 식생 밀도를 증가시킨 하상변동 모의 결과를 입력 자료로 활용하였을 때 WUA값이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이는 피라미의 서식처 적합도 측면에서 식생이 적어 특정 유량에 따른 하상변동의 폭이 커지면서 저수로 최저하상과 고수부 하상과의 표고차가 상대적으로 낮은 하상 단면이 피라미의 서식처 측면에서 유리할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

Density is the most important congestion indicator among the three fundamental flow variables, flow, speed and density. Measuring density in the field has two different ways, direct and indirect. Taking photos with wide views is one of direct ways, which is not widely used because of its cost and lacking of proper positions. Another direct density measuring method using two point detectors has been introduced with the concept of instantaneous density, average density and measurement interval. The relationship between accuracy and measurement interval has been investigated using the SIMULATION data produced by Paramics Application Programming Interface function. We analyze the affect of segment density accuracy by sensing gap each road condition such as sensing segment length, lane and LOS after gathering data by Paramics Application Programming Interface.

In this paper, we watch out key measure of the level of transportation service about travel time and delay time. And we measured vehicle traffic by moving vehicle method using CCTV which is one of the travel time measure. We should be measured in place of continuous traffic flow characteristics with wide traffic light interval. In addition, traffic flow on the other side of the interval must be sufficiently identifiable and at the end of this section must be possible U-turn. This method it requires only the driver of the vehicle because of the CCTV measure. In addition, We cannot require time, distance, and traffic equipment that can be recorded. Because equipped with the software to do that. In addition to traffic, average travel time, average space speed, traffic density are also available.

Traffic congestion occurs from drivers' human factors such as driver reaction time, reckless lane change, and inexperienced driving. When Automated Vehicles are introduced, human factors are excluded, resulting in increased average vehicle speed, stabilizing traffic flow, and increasing road capacity. This study analyzed traffic flow changes through traffic volume-speed-density plots, and increased road capacity due to Automated Vehicles. As a result of the analysis, when rate of automated vehicles gests higher, the traffic flow became stable. Additionally, it was analyzed that when all vehicles were automated, the road capacity increased by about 120 %. It is expected that there will be a positive expectation in terms of traffic congestion and traffic demand management due to the introduction of Automated Vehicles.
