This research focuses on the warrants for the Two-Way Left-Turn Lanes (TWLTL). Using a microscopic traffic simulation tool, two key parameters were investigated herewith. One is a wide range of the Design Hourly Volume (DHV), reflective of recent Korean roadway volume characteristics, that is conventionally reduced from the Average Daily Traffic (ADT). The other is driveway spacing, the length of the middle-lane section where two conflicting left-turn demands often compete for space. In addition, unlike previous researches, the way and the procedure the TWLTL operation is realized in the VISSIM S/W with its add-on application such as VISVAP is clearly stated and described in detail. According to the result of simulations for 10 volume scenarios, as expected, the higher the volume level is, the more delay the left-tuner experience. The Level Of Service (LOS) for most cases was in the range of C and D based on the non-signalized intersection LOS criteria. Furthermore, the TWLTL was found operable up to the volume level of 1,116 and 1,860 vph in heavy direction (equivalent of volume level 7) for 3-lane and 5-lane facility respectively, which covers significant portion of existing two to four-lane highway volumes in Korea.

2차로 도로에서 양보 차로를 설치하면 고속차량이 저속차량을 추월할 수 있는 공 간을 제공하여 도로를 효율적으로 이용할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 안전사고를 감소시키는 데도 큰 효과가 있다. 우리 나라에서는 양보 차로가 설치된 예가 없기 때문에 TWOPAS simulation model을 우리 나라 조건에 맞도록 수정한 TWOPASK1을 이용하여 양보 차로의 운영효과를 평가하였다. 효과 척도로는 현재 도로용량편람 2차로 도로의 서비스수준 평가에 사용되는 차량군 백분율을 이용하였다. 다양한 유효길이, 양보 차로 길이, 교통량 수준의 총 84 조합의 simulation을 분석한 결과 양보 차로가 있는 경우가 양보 차로가 업는 경우보다 차량군 백분율이 감소하였으며 양보 차로 길이가 길수록 차량군 백분율이 많이 감소하였다. 추천되는 양보차로 길이는 양방향 교통량이 400~1,000대/시일 때 800~1,200m, 1,000~2,000대/시일 대 1,200~2,000m가 적정하며, 2,000대/시 이상일 때는 양보 차로의 효과가 적으며, 이 때는 4차로으로의 확장이 요구된다.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is providing maritime safety services using combine limited artificial intelligence technologies through the operation of the Korean e-Navigation service, and research is needed to improve reliability and quality to secure the competitiveness of the system. However, linking real-time operating systems requires a separate system configuration that can be linked after processing personal information security with minimal performance impact. To solve this problem, this study will make a basic design of a big-data maritime information gateway system of the Korean e-Navigation service that minimizes the impact of performance and reflects the security of personal information.

Two-lane roads that occupy more than a half of rural highways in Korea have operational problems such as traffic congestion problems due to relatively high traffic volume and safety problems due to overtaking risks in two-lane highways. To solve these problems, a 2+1 road pattern that enables to improve traffic safety and operational efficiency of two-lane highways has been applied in Europe. In this study, in-depth applicability of 2+1 roads to Korean rural highways was investigated based on review results of the successful experience of European 2+1 roads. Then, given the Korean two-lane highway conditions, the service traffic volumes for Korean 2+1 roads was estimated. The analysis results showed that 17,000 veh./day might be the maximum traffic volumes for Korean 2+1 roads.

최근 이동 컴퓨팅 기술이 급속도로 발전하면서 이동 객체의 위치정보를 활용한 위치 찾기 서비스, 교통 정보 서비스, 긴급 구조 서비스, 모바일 광고 서비스와 같은 위치 기반 서비스가 부각되고 있다. 이와 같은 다양한 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 이동 객체의 위치정보를 신속하게 저장, 검색, 갱신할 수 있는 이동 객체 데이타베이스 시스템이 필수적으로 요구된다. 그러나, 기존의 데이타베이스 시스템을 사용할 경우에는 저장 공간을 많이 차지게 되고, 불필요한 트랜잭션 연산으로 인하여 대용량의 위치 데이타 관리에 큰 오버헤드가 발생한다는 문제가 있다. 그러므로, 이동 객체의 위치 데이타를 저장하고 관리하기 위하여 화일 기반의 저장 시스템을 사용하는 것이 보다 더 효율적이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 대용량의 위치 데이타를 효과적으로 저장 및 검색할 수 있는 화일 기반 이동 객체 저장 컴포넌트를 설계하고 구현하였다. 화일 기반 이동 객체 저장 컴포넌트는 다중 연결 관리자, 단순 질의 처리기, 메타데이타 관리자, 데이타 화일 관리자, 인덱스 화일 관리자, 로그 관리자, 관리툴로 구성된다.

Traffic data such as traffic volume, speed, and vehicle Class are very important basic data for the plan and design of highway. Based on traffic data, the future service level of a specific highway and geometry of newly constructed or expended road is predicted and determined. The Ministry of Construction & Transportation has simultaneously surveyed coverage count and permanent count at highways since 1985. Traffic volume survey sections were determined at jointed nodes of highways and jointed nodes of highways and other roads such as freeway and local highway. Volume survey was performed at these sections. The premise to decide these sections is assumed that links between jointed nodes of main highways exhibit similar traffic characteristics. Recently, due to the change of highway geometries such as construction of detour road and installations of traffic facilities such as installation of media, traffic characteristics of the existing traffic volume survey sections was changed. To reflect these changes, traffic characteristics at homogeneous road sections was widely evaluated and analyzed. Using Genetic Algorithms, a model was developed for the evaluation of traffic characteristics at homogeneous road sections. Traffic volume survey sections were then determined through the application of the developed model for current traffic system.

This paper suggests a sensor's placement method for detecting the dilemma zone problem when real-time driver's safety service is provided at signalized intersections by multiple pointed traffic sensors using USN environments. For detecting the dangerous situations from vehicles accelerating through yellow intervals, red-light running and stopping abruptly like as dilemma zone problem, VISSIM(microscopic, behavior-based multi-purpose traffic simulation program) is used to perform a real-time multiple detection situation by changing the input data like as various inflow-volume, design speed change, driver perception and response time. As a result, the optimal interval of traffic sensors is 20~27m, and the initialized sensor location from stop-line is different according to road design speed. Moreover, the pattern of detection about dilemma zone is also different according to inflow-volumes. This paper shows that the method is useful to evaluate the sensor's placement problem based on micro-simulation and the results can be used as the basic research for USN services.

Road traffic noise is closely related to road traffic environment, including traffic volumes by type and travel speed. In this study, we stated some issues and analyzed the relationships between road traffic noise and traffic flow characteristics. First, in attempt to find the answer to the question "When does the loudest traffic noise occur?" we reviewed the issue in the terms of traffic flow. As a result of analyzing level of service through Korea Highway Traffic Noise model, the actual maximum noise occurred in level of service D rather than level of service E, on the capacity state. It shows that maximum noise would be most likely to occur right before and after the peak hours. Second, this paper was looking for the method of a more easy and accurate traffic speed estimation to predict traffic noise. This paper proposed sketch planning techniques of speed-volume curve by level of service on Korea Highway Capacity Manual. As a result of trend line modeling, it was judged that quadratic form is a suitable function, and coefficient of determination ($R^2$) was higher than 0.96, respectively.

Freeway FFS (Free-Flow Speed) under the state of LOS (Level of Service) A has been regarded as a homogeneous state to all levels of traffic volume. The features of low-density FFS is served as the basic data for a decision on limited maximal speed, accident analysis, simulation modeling etc. A few researches for the macroscopic characteristics of design and operation speed have been reported, and any study for the microscopic features of freeway free-flow speed under the state of low density has not been done. Therefore, the characteristics of low-density FFS according to the level of traffic volume (1-3 veh/30 sec) and daily hour periods (0-5, 6-8, 9-11, 12-19, 20-23) is microscopically analyzed in this study with huge volume and speed data. It was found that speed distributions are changed and show different behaviors under the conditions of traffic volume levels and daily time periods. V85s (85th percentile speed) at early morning and night periods decrease when levels of traffic volume increase, whereas V85s at day time do not show considerable differences. Especially, FFSs of levels of traffic volume at early morning and night periods, despite low density, is analyzed as heterogeneity, but homogeneity at day time.
