  • Controlled traffic intersection is critical point in terms of transportation network performance, where the most of traffic congestion arises. One of the most important and favorable measure of effectiveness in the signal controlled intersection is approach delay. Although lots of efforts to develop traffic delay estimation models have been made throughout the years, most of them were focusing on homogeneous traffic flow. The purpose of this research is to develop a traffic delay estimation model for traffic flow mixed with bus based on the horizontal shockwave theory. Traffic simulation is performed to test the adaptation level of the model in generic environment. The result shows that the delay increases with increasing bus traffic. Overall model accuracy comparing simulation result is acceptable, that shows the error range around 10 percent.

  • 교차로 접근지체의 산정은 간선도로의 서비스수준 평가에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 교차로 접근지체는 상류부 교차로에서 진입하는 교통에 대한 균일지체와 그 이외 단일로 상에 존재하는 세가로등에서 유입되는 교통에 대한 무작위지체, 1회의 신호주기에 교차로를 통과하지 못한 교통에 대한 잔여지체 등과 연동보정계수를 이용하여 산정된다. 우리나라를 비롯한 대부분의 나라에서는 미국에서 차량의 지체와 연동보정계수를 이용하여 개발된 교차로 접근지체 산정식의 구조를 그대로 수용하고 있다. 그러나 도심부 신호교차로 사이의 단일로에 보행자를 위한 횡단신호가 설치되어 있는 경우, 이러한 단일로 횡단신호가 하류부 교차로의 접근지체에 미치는 영향이 있을 것으로 판단한다. 따라서 미국과는 달리 신호교차로간의 간격이 크고, 단일로 상에 보행자용 횡단시호 설치가 빈번한 우리나라의 실정에서는 이에 대한 영향을 분석하여 교차로 접근지체 산정 시 이를 반영하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 단일로 횡단신호가 하류부 신호교차로에서의 접근지체에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여, 상류부 교차로와 단일로 중간부 횡단보도와의 거리, v/c 비, 신호 offset 등 상황을 설정하여 TRANSYT-7F를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 본 연구에 의하면 단이로 중간의 횡단신호가 상류부 교차로의 신호와 연동되지 않는 경우에는 하류부 교차로의 접근지체에 미치는 영향이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 연동 시에는 상류부 교차로와의 거리, v/c 비, 신호 offset 등에 따라 최고 80% 이상 까지 접근지체가 증가하였다. 일반적으로 신호 offset이 40%에서 60% 사이로 연동상태가 불량할수록 하류부 교차로에서의 접근지체가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 그 외에 변수에 대하여서도 신호 offset에 따라 다른 정도로 접근지체에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재 우리나라의 신도시 개발 시 일반적으로 나타나는 대규모 구획(super block)과 이로 인하여 불가피한 단일로 중간부의 횡단신호의 설치는 교통운영 측면에서 재고되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 신호연동화모형에서 통과폭모형은 지체를 최소화하지 못하고 지체도모형은 좌회전현시순서를 최적화하지 못한다. 이러한 모형의 단점을 극복하고자 개발된 KS_SIGNAL은 지체를 최소화하는 신호연동화모형이지만 지체를 산정하는데 있어 많은 한계를 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 KS_SIGNAL의 지체모형을 개선하여 보다 우수한 연동신호시간과 현시순서를 산정해주는 신호최적화모형(KS_SIGNAL II)을 개발하여 FORTRAN 언어로 전산화하였다. 개발된 모형은 다양한 평가를 통하여 기존 모형들보다 전반적으로 우수한 것으로 입증되었다. 본 모형을 통하여 차량 출발 및 도착형태에 따른 대기차량 소거시간을 고려하는 옵셋 산정이 가능해져 지체를 최소화하는 간선도로의 신호최적화모형으로 활용될 경우 도로기능제고 및 지체도 감소에 의한 편익을 얻을 수 있다.

  • This study develops a real-time signal control algorithm based on sectional travel times and includes a field test and evaluation. The objective function of the signal control algorithm is the equalization of delay of traffic movements, and the main process is calculating dissolved time of the queue and delay using the sectional travel time and detection time of individual vehicles. Then this algorithm calculates the delay variation and a targeted red time and calculates the length of the cycle and phase. A progression factor from the US HCM was applied as a method to consider the effect of coordinating the delay calculation, and this algorithm uses the average delay and detection time of probe vehicles, which were collected during the accumulated cycle for a stabile signal control. As a result of the field test and evaluation through the application of the traffic signal control algorithm on four consecutive intersections at 400m intervals, reduction of delay and an equalization effect of delay against TOD control were confirmed using the standard deviation of delay by traffic movements. This study was conducted to develop a real-time traffic signal control algorithm based on sectional travel time, using general-purpose traffic information detectors. With the current practice of disseminating ubiquitous technology, the aim of this study was a fundamental change of the traffic signal control method.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a cycle-free signal timing model for minimizing delays based on Third-generation control concept using Genetic Algorithm. A special feature of this model is its ability to manage delays of turning movements on the cycle basis. The model produces a cycle-free based signal timing(cycles and green times) for each intersection to minimize delays of turning movements on the cycle basis. The performance of cycle-free signal timings was evaluated on normal (v/c = 0.7) and oversaturated (v/c=1.0) conditions. The performance measures are throughput and the number of queued vehicles at the end of green time. The result shows that the cycle free signal timing is superior to the fixed signal timing to manage traffic flows of intersections; (1) the proposed model accomplishes the basic objective of the research, producing cycle free signal timings on the cycle basis, (2) on normal conditions, cycle free signal timings produce less queued vehicles at the end of green time, and (3) on oversaturated conditions, the cycle free signal timing is superior to the fixed signal timing to manage saturated traffic flows of intersections.

  • Unlike its archetype predecessor such as the Highway Capacity Manual of the United States, the Korean Highway Capacity Manual of 2013 provides the analytical models for estimating the saturation flow rates for the lane-occupying work-zones in the proximity of the signalized intersections. Direct application of the revised saturation flow rates into the classic control delay models, however, appears to produce unreasonable delay amount as traffic demand approaches lane-group capacities and surpasses them, which is common phenomena in the work-zones. Complex interaction among vehicles, lane-dropping work-zone geometry and signal operations were never accounted in the traditional control delay models, and considerable differences between the delay model outcomes and field observations are repeatedly experienced. This paper proposes the modified approaches to the delay models in the manual, exerted on all three elements of control delay, and particularly focuses on the temporal and spatial boundary expansion in comparing the simulated results to the estimated ones. Extensive microscopic simulation work and calibration effort supports the modified approaches well enough to use them in the work-zone planning and evaluation.

  • This study is aimed to analyze the overall effects of the additional delay caused by the vehicle in front of the queue, at the signal, to the total delay estimation. To estimate the average vehicle delay at the signalized intersection, as survey of the queue length at the intersection and traffic counts were conducted. As a result of this analysis, all of the three delay estimation methods turned out to be similar in that the estimation of the average delay for the test vehicle was less than 60 sec/vehicle. However, the average delay time for the vehicle in front of the queue only, was estimated at 60-70 sec/vehicle which is similar to the average delay of the test vehicle.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a traffic assignment model where the variable of signal intersection delay is taken into account in assigning traffic in large-scale network settings. Indeed, despite the fact that the majority of the increase in travel time or cost involving congested urban network or interrupted flow are accounted for by stop delays or congested delays at signal intersections, the existing traffic assignment models did not reflect this. The traffic assignment model considering intersection delays presented in this study was built based on the existing traffic assignment models, which were added to by the analysis technique for the computation of intersection delay provided in Korea Highway Capacity Manual. We can conclude that a multiple variety of simulation tests prove that this model can be applied to real network settings. Accordingly, this model shows the possibility of utilizing a model considering intersection delay for traffic policy decisions through analysis of effects of changes in traffic facilities on large urban areas.

  • This research suggested the traffic signal calculation model of active transit signal priority using a shockwave model. Using this signal priority timing optimization model, the shockwave area is computed under the condition of Early Green and Green Extension among active transit signal priority techniques. This study suggested the speed estimation method of backward shockwave using average travel time and intersection passing time. A shockwave area change is calculated according to signal timing change of transit signal priority. Moreover, this signal timing calculation model could determine the optimal signal priority timings to minimize intersection delay of general vehicles. A micro simulation analysis using VISSIM and its user application model ComInterface was applied. This study checked that this model could calculate the signal timings to minimize intersection delay considering saturation condition of traffic flow. In case studies using an isolated intersection, this study checked that this model could improve general vehicle delay of more over ten percentage as compared with equality reduction strategy of non-priority phases. Recently, transit priority facilities are spreading such as tram, BRT and median bus lane in Korea. This research has an important significance in that the proposed priority model is a new methodology that improve operation efficiency of signal intersection.

  • This research suggested the traffic signal timing calculation model for signal intersections based on sectional travel time. A detection system that collects sectional travel time data such as Urban Transport Information System(UTIS) is applied. This research developed the model to calculate saturation flow rate and demand volume from travel time information using a deterministic delay model. Moreover, this model could determine the traffic signal timings to minimize a delay based on Webster model using traffic demand volume. In micro simulation analysis using VISSIM and its API ComInterface, it checked the saturation conditions and determined the traffic signal timings to minimize the intersection delay. Recently, sectional vehicle detection systems are being installed in various projects, such as Urban Transportation Information System(UTIS) and Advanced Transportation Management System(ATMS) in Korea. This research has important contribution to apply the traffic information system to traffic signal operation sector.
