The noise problem became more serious by the rapid urban population growth and traffic. This study estimates the noise level considering actual traffic volume and building shape and location. Based on the state of the arts noise level, changing amount of noise that was controlled by the speed control and truck and passenger car restriction is calculated. Some conclusion is found out. The 2-D type more than 3-D type is more than over standard of noise pollution and night time's over rate is larger than day time. And in the case of various solutions are used instead of applying one solution, noise pollution is effectively reduced.

Since the urbanization process has been taking place, negative outcomes such as environmental pollution and traffic congestion have produced as well. Reflecting the phenomenon, our study assumed that physical structure of urban form were implicit in relation to both economic performance and cost. It can be interpreted that as the urban space has been growing bigger, economic performances such as regional product output, economy of scale and the effect of agglomeration economies are increased. On the contrary, the negative effects such as environmental pollution and traffic congestion were incurred as economic loss and expenses. It means that even though economic performance can help increase regional product output, we should consider the loss on economic expenses which are paid for social problems such as environmental pollution and traffic congestion, which are caused by urbanization. Therefore, this study aims to statistically validate the relationship between traffic congestion as the most representative economy costs and physical characteristics of urban in a large city such as Seoul and to suggest its implications. As a result of model development for empirical analysis, GRDP(0.604), the population(0.582), employment GINI coefficients(0.296), population GINI coefficients(0.254) in order led to congestion cost. We can come to the conclusion that in case of scale factor such as the population, if the population tends to concentrate, urban becomes more crowded and that if GINI coefficients (the population, employment) which are variable on inequality according to region have the disparity with surrounding areas, congestion cost is caused a lot on account of movement related with employment. In addition, this phenomenon was caused if both the population and employment were geographically biased on one side.

Noise is defined to be unwanted (or undesirable) sounds, and it can be subdivided into occupational and environmental noises. The occupational noise is largely emitted from workplaces, but the environmental noise is produced from various sources such as transportation, construction, and even neighborhood. Transportation, particularly road vehicles, has been recognized to play a major role in emitting environmental noise and having adverse effects on urban communities. Considering this issue, this research investigated how severe the impacts of road traffic noise on a variety of land uses in a highly urbanized area, Fulton County, Georgia, United States. Daytime and nighttime road traffic noise maps were derived with Traffic Noise Model that was developed by Federal Highway Administration at United States Department of Transportation. Individual noise maps were overlaid on three-tiered land use type maps in order to evaluate the magnitude of noise impacts on the study area, as a noise exposure assessment. This study found that many land use parcels and buildings were exposed to noise levels exceeding the guideline values of the World Health Organization and the Atlanta Code of Ordinance. Therefore, it would be required to take an action that can protect many urban residents from ill effects of road traffic noise.

Generally, density is used as a measure of effectiveness (MOE) of the level of service (LOS) for the basic segment of the roadway facility, but can not express the operational condition of the roadway facility properly because there can be an error in the computed density compared with the density measured in the field. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the real-time traffic characteristic data (traffic flow, speed, occupancy, headway, spacing, etc.) from the detectors installed on the mainline section of urban freeway under the study, analyze the maximum flow rate from the relationship between the real-time traffic characteristics collected, and evaluate the LOS criteria within the basic segment of the urban freeway based on the relationship between the occupancy and the v/c ratio depending on the level of service.

The purpose of this paper is to pursue a case study of urban land use and transportation linkage policies based on a British city of Cardiff, Wales. To this end, the paper combines a review and synthesis of available land use and transportation planning sources, and a series of interviews with planners and a extensive survey of planning policy documents to assess the effectiveness of policy instruments in the city context. Considerable emphasis is placed on the analysis of the British land use and transportation planning in terms of the Policy guidance notes 11, 12 and 13 as well as the local transport policy guidance. The paper highlights the fact that the Cardiff unitary development plan and the local transport plan form a policy framework of integrating land use and transportation planning process, employing travel demand management schemes and implementing the various strategy components on the overall aim of achieving and maintaining a sustainable city.

도시로의 집중현상에 따라 차량이 증가함으로 한정된 공간에서의 도시교통난이 계속 악화되고 있는 실정이다. 도로상의 불법 주ㆍ정차위반차량으로 인해 차량소통에 불편을 주고, 주거 및 교통환경을 저해하기 때문에 견인업무는 주차정책을 실현시키는 강력한 수단으로써 반드시 필요하지만, 우리나라에서 불법 주ㆍ정차 차량의 견인부분에 대한 연구 및 결과는 극히 미비한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 우리나라 주요 도시를 대상으로 불법 주ㆍ정차 차량의 견인운행 실태 및 특징을 비교, 견인제도의 문제점을 분석하여 개선방안을 검토하고자 하였다. 이의 내용으로는 각 시에서 추진 및 계획중인 지능형 교통체계(ITS), 버스 정보시스템(BIS) 및 차량 위치 자동 표시기(AVM)를 연계시켜 공차거리를 줄이는 등의 첨단체계를 구축하여 견인차량에 대한 운영을 효율적으로 하여야 할 것이고, 요금의 구조도 서울을 제외한 기존의 3단계 톤급별 요금구조에서 장래 대형차의 견인을 감안한 4단계의 톤급별 요금구조로의 조정방안이 필요하다. 견인비용에 있어서도 대부분의 도시가 수년전의 여건을 근거로 산출한 결과를 기준으로 요금을 징수하고 있어 현실에 맞지 않는 요금체계를 적용시키고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 견인비용부분에 대하여도 장래의 경제여건을 감안한 탄력적 요금체계를 설정하여 경영합리화를 유도함이 바람직하다. 부가하여, 견인원가에 대한 사례분석 결과는 부천시를 중심으로 하여 현실성 있는 견인비용을 제시코자 하였다.

일반적으로 댐의 홍수분석을 할 경우에 댐의 운영초기수위는 댐의 만수위로 분석하고 있다. 댐 하류지역의 홍수에 대한 안전성을 확보하는 측면에서 댐의 극한 상황인 만수위 상태에서 홍수사상에 의한 댐 유입량이 유입될 때 하류지역의 방류량을 분석하여 결정함으로써 하류지역 하도의 피해를 저감하기 때문이다. 그러나 최근의 지속적인 가뭄으로 인해 태풍이나 장마와 같은 집중호우발생에도 댐의 수위는 만수위에 다다르지 못하고 전량 저류하거나 일부 방류를 통해 댐의 용수확보를 위한 저류용량의 증가효과를 가져오는 경우가 대부분이다. 이러한 이유로 인해 본 연구에서는 댐의 홍수기 운영에서 초기조건을 변화하여 실제 호우사상을 분석하여 방류량과 저류량의 변화를 분석하고 홍수조절 지표를 평가하여 댐 운영에 따른 홍수조절 효과와 댐의 용수확보를 통한 이수기능에 대한 평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 대상 댐은 안동댐으로 안동댐에 발생한 5개의 호우사상에 대해 초시 수위를 만수위인 EL. 160m에서 0.5m씩 감소하여 EL.150m 까지 분석하여 홍수조절과 저류기능을 검토하였다.

Recently, TOD gains popularity as a traffic solution measure of high density urban regeneration projects. The purpose of this study is to investigate traffic impacts of high density TOD projects, and to identify the issues to be resolved. For a case study, it chooses Gangnamgucheong station in Gangnam area served by two subway lines, and designates 400m radius from the station as a site for high-density development. The MOEs chosen for this study is traffic volume, time, distance, speed, and mode share. The SECOM model is adopted for traffic simulation. The analysis results show that high-density TOD is an effective tool for traffic improvement even with only one station area being implemented. It is found that the traffic volume increases near the station in nature where high-density development occurs, but it declines overall in the rest of Gangam area. The total travel time and distance of passenger vehicles decline, meaning that the traffic condition becomes better than before. With regulation on parking supply, the improvement becomes more vivid. In terms of the changes of traffic speed, both alternatives show 4.1% increase in speed, but the difference between alternatives is not quite noticeable because of the induced vehicle demand driven to the streets with improved traffic condition. The mode share changes occur for the benefit of subway ridership, because the study station is equipped with two subway line services. When mixed with parking supply restriction, the impact becomes clearer.

Urban transport demand is derived from activity participation. A variety of individual daily activities based on the decisions on activity participation result in collective spatial behavior. The travel derived from the effort to overcome the spatially distributed locations of adjacent activities represents the detailed structural relationships among activities. An activity-based approach provides an important framework of analyzing contemporary urban daily life in the sense that it studies the interaction between individuals' daily decision making and social practice in time and space, on the one hand, and socio-spatial environment on the other. The current study identifies representative patterns of urban daily activity implementations and analyzes the correlation between representative patterns and individuals' characteristics and contextual characteristics. The study shows that urban daily activity patterns can be grouped in a limited number of representative patterns, which are systematically correlated with socio-spatial characteristics. The results provide related transportation policy implications.

신호교차로 교통사고는 90년대 이후 도시가 발달하고 산업이 고도화됨에 따라 교통 혼잡 문제와 함께 심각한 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 특히 신호교차로의 교통사고는 인적요인, 차량요인, 환경적 요인 등이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생하는데, 교통량의 집중과 도로의 기하구조, 운전자 과실 등이 교통사고의 주요 인자로 작용하고 있다. 본 연구에서 교통사고 예측모형을 개발하기 위해서 2003년부터 2006년도까지 실제 경기도의 신호교차로에서 발생한 교통사고자료를 기초로 하였다. 구체적으로는 시내가 아닌 지방부 성격을 지닌 일반국도를 대상으로 하였다. 지방부 일반국도의 신호교차로 교통사고 분석에 단순통계분석과 다중회귀분석을 사용하였다. 사고와 관계가 높은 신호주기, 방향별 접근 교통량, 회전교통량 둥과 같은 도로, 교통, 운영조건들로 변수를 정하여 교통사고 예측모형을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서는 도로조건, 교통조건, 운영조건들과 사고와의 관계를 이용하여 경기도 일반국도의 신호교차로 교통사고예측모형을 개발하였고, 이는 지방부 성격을 지닌 교차로에 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.
