In order to understand and manage traffic flows in urban areas in the past, a variety of traffic engineering theoretical indicators such as intersection lag and highway speed have been applied. However, these theories and indicators have been developed under the constraints of traffic engineering research before the construction of intelligent transportation system. Since the ATIS system currently exists, it is necessary to introduce a separate traffic engineering technology that utilizes the data. In this paper, it is aimed to confirm whether it is applicable to intermittent flow (approach road, intersection, control group, main road axis) by using 'congestion intensity' which is already used in traffic engineering field. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The traffic signal improvement effect of urban road access road, intersection road, control group, Two verification studies were performed to verify the derived congestion intensity index. (1) verification of congestion intensity threshold value analysis and (2) crossing improvement using the congestion intensity. Through verification, it was confirmed that it is possible to apply the congestion intensity in the inter - city intermittent flow using the 5 - minute unit speed data so as to be able to escape from the existing traffic signal operation management which is past passive and manpower limit.

서울시는 선진 대도시와는 달리 노면교통이 도시고속도로 중심이 아니라 신호교차로와 좌회전이 많은 일반 간선도로에 대한 의존도가 높기 때문에 일부 구간에서의 정체는 공간적으로 파급효과가 크게 나타나는 도로교통체계를 갖고 있다. 따라서 통행량 유발이 집중되는 시설이 많이 위치한 강남과 도심의 일부구역의 정체는 강남과 도심 전체의 교통소통에 악영향을 주고 있고 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위해서는 교통zoning제도의 한 방식인 교통특별관리구역 제도의 도입을 통한 강력한 블록별 통행규제가 절대적으로 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구의 목적은 서울시에서 $\ulcorner$교통특별관리구역$\lrcorner$ 제도를 성공적으로 도입하기 위해 아시아-유럽 정상회담 개최장소인 강남의 ASEM지구에 대한 사례연구를 통해 그 적절한 시행방안을 사전적으로 검토하는데 있다. 본 연구결과 특별관리구역의 공간적 범위를 크게 하고 통과교통도 규제하는 것이 교통개선효과 측면에서는 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 공간적 범위를 크게 할 경우에는 직접적으로 혼잡유발에 책임이 없는데도 불구하고 규제의 대상이 되는 형평성 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 한편, 공간적 범위를 혼잡유발시설 주변으로 축소하고 도착통행만을 규제할 경우에는 전이교통이 늘어나서 규제의 효과가 잘 나타나지 않고 오히려 규제대상만 불편하게 하는 문제점이 나타났다. 연구결과 나타난 문제를 보완하기 위해서는 가능한 구역의 범위는 혼잡유발정도가 큰 건물이 밀집되어 있는 블록 주변으로 한정하되, 교통개선효과를 높이기 위해서는 구역 내를 통과하는 교통도 규제의 대상이 될 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 통과교통도 규제의 대상이 되기 때문에 구역을 범위를 설정할 때 구역 주변도로의 교통상황을 신중하게 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The study proposed a new type of bus information, Real-time Bus Crowdedness (RBC) information, to meet various demands of users and improve the convenience level of using public transportation, while existing bus information provided by bus information systems(BIS) were limited to bus operating information such as predicted bus arrival time. To analyze the impacts of providing the proposed RBC information, stated preference(SP) survey was performed and a methodology of disaggregate analysis (e.g., binary logit) was applied to develop passenger choice models. Additionally, passenger choice models incorporating the heterogeneity of different user groups(i.e., by age or trip purposes) were developed to evaluate the different responses on RBC information. The results showed that providing RBC information was significantly related to users' bus choices and the responses of user groups were significantly different, especially the age group of more then 60 was most affected by the RBC information on their bus choices. Also trip purposes were significantly related to users' bus choices, for instance the impacts of providing RBC information was bigger for non-business trips(leisure/meet friend/personal business, shopping, hospital) compared to business trip.

With advanced technologies applied to transportation, realtime traffic information has been necessary for not only drivers but also agencies. In normal, traffic conditions have been represented to three levels according to congestion: "free", "slow", and "jammed". Those categories and criteria are set up for traffic management even though traffic information is provided for drivers. This study examines how drivers feel current congestion levels and delves into traffic categories and criteria which they recognize. To collect data for drivers' recognition, a survey of freeway travellers is conducted answering the question about traffic flow speed from video image on a freeway section. In the result of the survey, the surveyee preferred a 4-level traffic condition including "delayed" to 3-level traffic condition. As its criteria, 20 km/h, 50 km/h, and 75 km/h were obtained. These results are expected to contribute to building more appropriate traffic information for drivers and providing an operational guideline for Traffic Monitering Centers.

This study proposes a policy for urban railway travel demand management system in order to decrease the load factor of the Seoul metro Circle line, particularly for the segment between Sadang and Samsung stations, through analyzing the transit smart card data. We propose mixed train operations of the existing Circle line and a line that goes toward Samsung station in order to transport passengers that have two distinct groups: those with the destination of Samsung station and those with destinations after Samsung station. The introduction of a mixed train operation that encourages passengers passing through Samsung station to take a Circle line train will decrease the congested load factor by 11.3% during the morning peak hours using the mixed train operation of the Circle and Samsung lines. This policy could be an effective method to decrease the load factor and improve the comfort of rail passengers without extra investment in the railway facilities.

최적 경로 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 구간 통행속도, 구간 통행시간, 회전 정보, 혼잡도 등과 같은 교통정보가 필요하다. 또한, 고객에게 신뢰성 있는 최적 경로를 제공하기 위해서는 실시간 교통정보 수집은 반드시 필요하며, 이러한 실시간 교통정보 수집 방법들에 대한 고찰과 검토가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 교통정보 수집방법을 살펴보면 지점검지 방식의 경우, 수집되는 정보가 검지기 설치 지점의 지점속도(Spot Speed)이므로 해당 링크를 주행한 통행속도(통행시간)의 대표값으로 채택하기에는 다소 무리가 있으며 구간검지 방식의 경우, 일반적으로 급격한 교통류 변동에 따른 대기행렬 검지가 늦다는 단점이 있다.(중략)

To prevent serious maritime accident and eliminate the cause of the potential maritime accidents, Maritime Safety Audit Scheme was formally institutionalized through amendment of Maritime Traffic Safety Act(May 27, '09). At the initial step of the enforcement of the law, it has risen the necessity of amending the present institution concerning with the range of applicable business, method of practice, detailed technical standards in the assessment articles, etc. Among them, the assessment of marine traffic congestion has been practiced as a mandatory assessment article, but it is analyzed that the assessment doesn't reflect current variation of ships' size and its speed. By analyzing the status of assessments on marine traffic congestion so far and collecting experts' opinion, this paper suggests draft amendments to improve technical standards on the assessment of marine traffic congestion.

This paper develops a differentiated pricing strategy over each segment of expressways based on the second-best pricing method for reducing congestion. To this end, a bi-level problem is proposed, in which the upper level of the model is formulated to determine toll level of each segment for minimizing traffic congestion, whereas the lower level of the model is formulated as a variable demand assignment problem. The sensitivity analysis based algorithm is took placed to find optimal solutions of upper level model. An application of the proposed model uses the modified Sioux-Falls network. The results show that the segment-based differentiated pricing strategy performs better than the existing uniform pricing strategy in reducing traffic congestion. This study can be applied as a demand management method to relieve disutility of excessively congested segments of expressways.
