There are many problems and limits in equipments being used for traffic-volume analysis in the country. And traffic-volume information acquired through existing equipments is not provided in real-time. In the case of urban, there are limits on guarantee of trust on comprehending a appropriate road-volume because of difficulty on analyzing traffic-volume density and time series. And it is difficult to applicate in deciding a road policy as existing equipments don't provide the control information of traffic-flow. Therefore, it is necessary to build a road-flow policy rapidly and accurately through the road-flow information that analyze post-processed statistics data using traffic-flow investigation based on real time. In this study, we developed TICS(Traffic Information Collection System) based on GPS which could transmit traffic information transformed from car location information to traffic control center. And we developed TCS(Traffic Control System) based on Web GIS, which could manage and analyze transmitted traffic information, and it could offer handled road-flow information to Web-site in realtime.

In this paper, we analyzed the impacts of road traffic conditions and speed limit changes on traffic flow and safety. Travel speed and moving speed were set as traffic flow indicators and'moving speed-travel speed',speed deviation, large speed deviation ratio, and number of conflicts were set as safety indicators, and the impacts of changes in road traffic conditions and speed limits on these were analyzed. According to the analysis results, the speed limit had a significant impacts on the traffic indicators, but did not significantly affect the safety indicators. As a result of the statistical validity test, it was proven that the traffic flow index increases as the speed limit increases. However, although safety indicators often increase, their validity has not been proven statistically. Therefore, if the speed limit is set and operated by properly considering the traffic flow status according to various road conditions and changes in traffic volume, it can be said to match the speed at which drivers drive and improve traffic flow and safety. Therefore, it is expected that calculating the speed limit considering the traffic flow indicators and safety indicators presented in this paper and operating the speed limit according to changes in traffic volume will contribute to stabilizing the traffic flow on the road.

대도시지역은 인구와 경제활동의 밀집도가 매우 높은 지역이나 계속되는 교통혼잡의 가중에의한 신속한 물자이동의 제약과 화물작업을 위한 공간의 부족 등으로 인하여 원활한 수송활동과 물류활동을 제한하는 장애요인들이 화물의 이동에 비하여 많은 실정이다. 도시가 존속하고 생산활동, 소비활동을 하기 위해서는 원자재, 에너지, 제품 등이 도시내·외를 통해 생산부문간과 개인·집단간에 원활한 수송이 이루어져야 한다. 하지만, 서울과 같은 대도시는 우리 나라 전체 경제에 미치는 영향이 매우 큼에도 불구하고 급속하게 증가하는 승용차 위주로 교통소통, 교통체계개선(TSM), 도로망 구축 등의 정책이 시행되어 왔다. 대규모 물류이동이 필수적인 서울의 남대문시장, 동대문시장, 용산전자상가 등 오래전부터 형성되어 온 도심상가지역은 굳이 언급하지 않더라도 서울 근교 신도시에 점차 확산되고 있는 대형 할인매장 등의 유통업무지구, 대형 사무용 건물 등에 원활하고 적시의 수송지원을 위해서는 체계적이고 합리적인 물류체계와 화물시스템 못지 않게 그에 따른 도로의 기하하적 구조나 화물차량을 고려한 신호체계 등이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 일반적인 도시 TSM기법 중에서도 화물차량 위주의 TSM기법에 중점을 두고 대도시에 적용 가능한 도로상의 화물차량 소통기법을 연구하여 그 적용성과 기대효과를 살펴보는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 크게 도시외곽을 경유하는 화물차량에 관한 도시외곽 화물 TSM 기법과 도시내 통과차량 소통기법, 주·정차 및 조업차량관리기법의도시내 화물TSM 기법으로 구성되어 있다. 도시외곽 화물 TSM 기법의 주내용은 신호체계 개선과 도로의 기하구조 개선 등이며, 도시내 화물 TSM 기법은 화물차량의 도시내 교통소통 기법과 화물차량의 주·정차 관리 및 조업차량 관리에 대한 연구를 수행한다. 대부분의 TSM 개선방안의 시행주체가 경찰청과 시이므로 본 연구의 결과는 도시의 원활한 화물교통소통을 위하여 적용가능할 것으로 예상된다.

Due to increasing interest in dispersion of traffic flows through providing traffic information, there has been much research of driver behavior and effectiveness of diversion. In this paper the authors intend to analyze how a diversion was determined and its effects through correlation analysis between diversion rates estimated by actual surveys and the traffic conditions. Through speed-flow analysis, the diversion mechanism was found. When travel speed decreased, detour volume increased. Then when the traffic volume was decreased through an increase of diversion and traffic conditions got better, the detour volume decreased again. In addition, the authors found negative correlation between the diversion rate and travel speed through correlation analysis. It shows that there were various relationships between diversion rates and traffic conditions according to congestion level and direction of traffic. Finally, it is suggested that the regression equation for calculating the diversion rate with the traffic flows, travel speed, and travel time as variables has a coefficient of determination of 38.5%. It means that traffic conditions on expressways take about 40% of driver's decision-making for diversion.

Favorable policies for freight vehicles (i.e., trucks), such as exclusive "Truck-ways," have been proposed, and at the same time restricted policies for freight vehicles have been suggested because transportation of goods by truck aggravates traffic congestion and environmental conditions in urban areas. This study discusses the limitations of assessment processes for freight vehicle route management systems which have been carried out from limited perspectives such as physical distribution efficiency and traffic circulation. The objective of this study is to propose an assessment method of truck route management systems in urban areas which includes more varied criteria. This research modified the two existing assessment indices of physical distribution efficiency and traffic circulation. In addition two new assessment indexes are proposed: (i) exposure indices for population directly influenced by nitrous oxide, a representative pollutant, and (ii) a friction index between trips for attending elementary school and freight vehicle trips. It was found that from the perspective of physical distribution efficiency and traffic circulation, the "before" alternative is better than "after". However, from the aspect of traffic safety and environmental impacts the "after" alternative is better than "before". It is expected that the proposed evaluation method in this study would be useful when identifying reasonable policies for truck route management in urban areas.

On the many highways, severe traffic congestions happen chronically and make traffic problems like reduction of mobility because of rapid increase of vehicles though road construction has been last. In order to solve these traffic problems, it is needed to find the trend and the symptom of traffic congestion and to analyze the cause of congestion and the(spatial) range affected by congestion. To develop the traffic condition monitoring index prior to doing all those things is most important. With this reason, many countries including U.S. had been developed the congestion criteria and indices. In this paper, applicability and characteristics of existing traffic congestion indices were considered and the direction for development of a new traffic condition index was suggested to achieve an effective traffic management.

Currently average daily traffic using Hi-pass has increased over 3 times that of 2008 and more than half of highway traffic now uses High-pass. At this juncture, reassessment on the overall operation of Hi-pass is required to improve the safety aspect of toll booths and the flow of traffic. Although existing Hi-pass operation manual presents the methods of alignment, they do not reflect actual forms of vehicles and do not properly take the safety of toll booth and flow of the traffic into consideration. In order to compensate these problems, this study classifies highway tollbooths into two categories of mainline type and interchange type, and establishes the standard of lane alignment by traffic conflict analysis based on the types divided according to geometric structure or environment around the tollbooths. In addition, traffic flows around the tollbooths were reflected with the stage to arrange Hi-pass lanes according to the volume of traffic on the lanes for Hi-pass.
