The purpose of this study is to reduce a high speed driving, it is a large scale traffic accident as the most dangerous fact on the highway. So traffic accidents related to high speed driving, a number of automated speed enforcement system has been established up to now. At present automated speed enforcement system in Korea control overspeed vehicle only in the specific spot. Because the drivers generally recognize the previous stated fact. therefore, we need speed control by new system. it is necessary to establish the automated traffic enforcement system based on the travel time speed. In conclusion, we obtain the desired results about automated traffic enforcement system based on the travel time speed. it is important that the number of traffic accidents has decreased and try to secure the safety of traffic.

기존 과속단속카메라의 한계와 더불어 차량의 속도 거동이 더욱 순화될 필요가 제기됨에 따라 국내에서는 2007년 12월 16일 영동고속도로 둔내터널에서 처음 구간과속단속시스템을 도입하였다. 현재 고속국도 6개소를 포함하여 총 8개소에서 구간과속단속시스템을 운영하고 있다. 하지만 해당 시스템의 도입효과가 명확하지 않아 시스템의 효과에 대한 의문도 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국 Los Alamos연구에서 개발된 TRANSIMS(TRansportation Analysis and SIMulation System)의 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용해 시스템 적용 전 후의 거시적 교통류 특성을 수집하여 효과에 대하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 구간과속단속시스템의 효과를 분석하기 임의의 네트워크를 제작하여 모의실험을 해 보았다. 네트워크는 총 연장 12km의 직선형 구간으로 제작하였다. 모의실험에 사용되는 링크의 Cell크기는 3m로 설정하여 TRANSIMS의 내정값인 7.5m보다 더욱 상세한 결과가 나오도록 설정하였다. 링크는 편도 3차로로 설정하여 모의실험을 실시하였으며, 구간단속이 미치는 영향을 실제와 유사하게 적용하기위해 모의실험을 하는 링크의 제한속도를 구간단속 실시 전에는 160km/h, 실시 후에는 100km/h로 설정하였다. 구간단속 실시 전 링크의 제한속도를 160km/h로 높게 설정한 것은 실제 통행이 발생하는 속도를 구현하기위해서이며, 차종별 최대 속도를 제한하여 속도분포를 나타내었다. TRANSIMS를 통한 구간과속단속시스템의 효과를 분석하는 모의실험 결과 그림 1의 그래프에서 나타나는 것과 같이 구간단속 전 후에서 속도저감효과가 나타나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 특히, 교통류율이 낮을 때 속도가 높게 나타나던 부분이 구간단속 실시 후 속도가 낮아지는 것을 보아 실제로 교통류율이 낮은 고속국도에서는 높은 효과를 기대할 수 있다고 판단된다. 표 1에서 구간단속 전 후의 주행차량의 속도변화를 살펴보면 과속운행의 비율이 상당히 주는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 특성 때문에 교통량이 비교적 적은 고속국도에서는 뛰어난 효과를 발휘할 것이라고 예상된다.

The Korean government introduced an automated speed enforcement system (ASES), which uses traffic enforcement cameras, to counteract safety issues that are caused by speeding. As the information of the traffic enforcement camera locations is provided to the drivers via navigation systems and mobile applications in a timely manner, drivers can avoid enforcement by momentarily diminishing their speeds only near the camera locations. To prevent drivers' evasional behavior and improve the effectiveness of ASES, section control, which enforces speeding vehicles by measuring their average travel speeds over a stretch of road and checking against the speed limit, has been recently implemented. In this study, Section Speed Enforcement Zone and Comparison Zone are compared in terms of traffic stream characteristics under free flow conditions. To this end, loop detector data were obtained from the three study sites and analyzed. The study results demonstrated that drivers maintain their speeds below the speed limit over the enforcement section with a lower variance of speeds.

We frequently confront with cars interfering into our lane on the ramp. We suffered from serious traffic congestion due to the interfering cars. But the police enforcement has not done actively because it's hard to enforce. In this study, we have evaluated the systems to enforce cutting-in cars through the field test. Generally, the image processing method depends on the weather. To overcome this limitation we proposed a new algorithm combined with section detection method. In the filed test we concluded the results as follows. Whereas the violation detection rate of the general image processing was 58.2%, a new algorithm proposed by this study was 74.5%. And, an error rate enforcing vehicles that do not violate was 0.0%. Also, we can use the existing facilities, such as street light because of compact and lightweight systems which are integrated camera with controller. Therefore, we concluded that it is possible to enforce the interfering Cars using vehicle enforcement systems.

The frequency and severity of traffic accidents related to signalized intersections in urban areas have been more serious than those in both arterial segments and crosswalks. Especially, traffic accidents involved with injuries and fatalities have caused by traffic signal violations within intersections. Therefore, many countries including Korea have installed the red light enforcement camera (RLE) to reduce traffic accidents associated with the traffic signal violation. Meanwhile, many methodologies have been studied in terms of safety impacts estimation of red light enforcement, which, however, cannot be easy to conduct. In this study, safety impacts was estimated for intersections of Chicago downtown area using SPF models and EB approach. As a result, for all crash types and target traffic accident types such as "angle", "rear end", "sideswipe in the same and other directions", "turn", and "head on", fatal crashes were reduced by 26% and 38%. However, RLE may increase property-demage-only-crashes by 3.23% and 1.16%, respectively.

This study was reviewed the noise reduction effects with installation of 'point to point speed camera' for controlling the speed of the car. The multiple regression analysis was performed to know how the relationship between the noise level and these parameters, such as measured traffic volume and rate of heavy vehicle and weighted average speed was changed with and without the 'point to point speed camera'. In the analysis results shows that the less traffic volume, the more noise reduction effect has been increased and the more traffic volume, the more noise reduction effect has been reduced. And noise reduction effects by the 'point to point speed camera' was different from each measured point. The cause of the difference was determined that inadequate 'point to point speed camera' position to see the effect of noise reduction. It is determined to require a more study to improve the noise reduction effects of the 'point to point speed camera' such as the camera position adjustment.

This study focuses on development of a risk level evaluation model for the intersection dilemma zone based on vehicle speed distribution approaching the intersection. The study results show that dilemma zone exists for all approaches selected for the study because the values of amber time have not been properly set, and that re-optimized values significantly reduce the dilemma zone risk level. It is also found that when normal distribution is assumed for vehicle approach speed the risk values similar to those for actual speed distributions can be obtained. When the risk level is found to be high, the amber time must be adjusted to reduce the length of the dilemma zone, or speed calming measures must be introduced so that vehicle speed be maintained under the speed value used when determining the amber time.

The Road Management Administration is cracking down on overloaded vehicles by installing low-speed or high-speed WIMs at toll gates and main lines on expressways. However, in recent years, the act of intelligently evading the overloaded-vehicle control system of the Road Management Administration by illegally manipulating the variable axle of an overloaded truck is increasing. In this manipulation, when entering the overloaded-vehicle checkpoint, all axles of the vehicle are lowered to pass normally, and when driving on the main road, the variable axle of the vehicle is illegally lifted with the axle load exceeding 10 tons alarmingly. Therefore, this study developed a technology to detect the state of the variable axle of a truck driving on the road using roadside camera images. In particular, this technology formed the basis for cracking down on overloaded vehicles by lifting the variable axle after entering the checkpoint and linking the vehicle with the account information of the checkpoint. Fundamentally, in this study, the tires of the vehicle were recognized using the Mask RCNN algorithm, the recognized tires were virtually arranged before and after the checkpoint, and the height difference of the vehicle was measured from the arrangement to determine whether the variable axle was lifted after the vehicle left the checkpoint.

It is important to study on the traffic accident severity reduction because traffic accident is an issue that is directly related to human life. Therefore, this research developed countermeasure to reduce traffic accident severity considering various factors that affect the accident severity. This research developed the Accident Severity Prediction Model using the collected accident data from Seohaean Expressway in 2004~2006. Through this model, we can find the influence factors and methodology to reduce accident severity. The results show that speed limit violation, vehicle defects, vehicle to vehicle accident, vehicle to person accident, traffic volume, curve radius CV(Coefficient of variation) and vertical slope CV were selected to compose the accident severity model. These are certain causes of the severe accident. The accidents by these certain causes present specific sections of Seohaean Expressway. The results indicate that we can prevent severe accidents by providing selected traffic information and facilities to drivers at specific sections of the Expressway.
