현재 고속도로 교통관리시스템(FTMS)에 사용되고 있는 차량 검지기는 주로 루프 식 검지기가 이용되고 있으나, 유지관리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제 점을 갖고 있는 루프 검지기를 대체하기 위한 대체 검지기를 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 자기 검지기 신뢰도 평가는 현장 실험으로 이루어지며 비디오 촬영 및 루프 검지기, test car를 이용하여 교통량·속도·점유율의 기준자료를 마련하고 자기 검지기 자료와 비교·분석 및 통계적 검정을 실시하였다. 1차 실험과 2차 실험의 결과, 교통량과 속도는 실측자료와 유사했으나 점유율은 실측치와 다소 차이가 발생함을 보였다. 향후 점유율에 대한 보정이 이루어진다면 현재 사용중인 루프 검지기를 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

With the increase in image detectors, concerns about the reliability of traffic information are increasing. In this paper, we propose a method to generate reliable traffic volume using analysis of the point detector data as a representative value. Therefore, targeting expressway, we analyzed the difference in traffic volume collected by loop and image detector, and verified statistically using t-test, and finally analyzed the error rate compare to the real traffic volume. Analysis revealed that there was a statistically difference the traffic date collected by the loop detector and the image detector, in the same period, the same time, respectively. In addition, the difference between the actual traffic volume and traffic that have been collected in a loop detector was the lowest Therefore, creating a traffic volume of representative value, we proposed a method to use loop detector than the average traffic volume collected by each detector. It shows that it is more important to use one high-quality data rather than various low-quality data to produce a representative value.

우리나라의 경우 교통정보수집용 검지기는 루프검지기가 주종을 있으며, 지금까지 한국에서 루프검지기를 대체할 수 있는 영상 및 초단파검지기와 같은 대체검지기에 대한 평가는 단속류 보디는 연속류 상황에 대한 평가로 제한되어 왔다. 한편 최근들어 점차 고속도로를 중심으로 영상검지기의 설치개소수가 급속히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이 영상검지기의 경우 연속 교통류 상황의 15 분 혹은 5 분 단위의 점유율, 교통량, 속도등의 교통변수 측정정확도는 검지시스템의 요구사항을 충족하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 장래 교통관리 첨단화에 요구되는 교통자료 수집수준을 시가지도로 및 고속도로를 중심으로 파악하고, 루프검지기의 대체 검지기로서 영상검지기에 대한 성능평가 및 분석을 실시하였다.

In this paper, we suggested a vehicle classification algorithm using pattern recognition method. At present, Inductive Loop Detector is rarely used for vehicle classification because of its low accuracy. To improve the accuracy, we suggest a new algorithm for Loop Detector using neural networks. In the developed algorithm, the inputs to the neural networks are the variation rate of frequency and occupancy-time. The output is classified vehicles. The developed algorithm was assessed at test sites and the recognition rate was 91.3percent. The results verified that the proposed algorithm improves the vehicle classification accuracy compared to the conventional method based on Loop Detector.

This study has determined optimal type, and location of loop detector to measure accurately traffic condition influenced by traffic variation with real time. Optimal type of loop detector for through vehicle at stop bar was determined by confidences of occupancy period, and nonoccupancy period, and so appropriate detector type for application to real time traffic control system has been decided on special loop detector.

Loop detection systems have been used in real-time signal control system to collect traffic information for estimating queue lengths. The queue length algorithm uses speed as a key variable estimated from occupancy time and average vehicle length. The measurement of average vehicle length is affected from the lengths of feeder cable, but their effects have not yet been evaluated. In this study, the variability of average vehicle length due to the lengths of feeder cable is assessed through a field study, and a practical guidelines is proposed. By applying this result, the operational performance of real-time signal control system could be improved.

Speeding has been reported as one of the major causes for fatal traffic accidents in Korea. The resolution against this dangerous speeding comes to make the automated speed enforcement system an enforcement tool. The speed detection device, which measures speeds of each incoming vehicles using double loop sensors, requires high accuracy. The object of this study is to develop an accurate speed measurement algorithm using double loop detectors. Some important findings are summarized as follows: 1) It was found that speed measurement errors are caused by scanning rate, distance of two loops, irregular vehicle trajectories, multiple vehicles in detection zone. 2) A proposed algorithm using two signal set proved to reduce variance as well as mean of speed measurement. 3) A proposed filtering algorithm was effective to filter irregular driving vehicles and multiple vehicles in detection zone. A comprehensive field test of developed algorithm resulted in significant improvement of speed measurement accuracy.

This research aims at developing a new method which can replace the existing method. known as the quality factor(Q factor) method by an L-R-C test for use in the performance test of inductive loop detectors(ILD) being installed and maintained. In this study, a sensor to detect a magnetic field in terms of frequency and intensity, a method to collect field data, the method of analysis, and the method of diagnosis were developed. An automatic diagnosis system which was developed to overcome those drawbacks has the following features : First, field data is collected automatically by a test vehicle equipped with magnetic field sensors that is running can be said to along the roadway and. thus, the new system completely overcome the roadway and, thus, the new system can be said to completely overcome the inefficiency of the existing method second, since the magnetic fold generated from the ILD is the final output of the whole system of ILD, the existing problem has been solved. third. since each of the detection area by height is collected by the magnetic sensors installed by height. a basic for the identification of the vehicle types to be detectable and the setting of adjustment factors has been made. For the automatic diagnosis system developed during in this study, a reliability test was carried out by comparing vehicle times of ILD installed ideally.

Since the late of 1990, there have been number of studies on the required number of probe vehicles and/or optimal aggregation interval sizes for travel time estimation and forecasting. However, in general one to five minutes are used as aggregation intervals for the travel time estimation intervals for the travel time estimation and/or forecasting of loop detector system without a reasonable validation. The objective of this study is to deveop models for identifying optimal aggregation interval sizes of loop detector data for travel time estimation and prediction. This study developed Cross Valiated Mean Square Error (CVMSE) model for the link and route travel time forecasting, The developed models were applied to the loop detector data of Kyeongbu expressway. It was found that the optimal aggregation sizes for the travel time estimation and forecasting are three to five minutes and ten to twenty minutes, respectively.
