The increase in the traffic demand and behavioral pattern of its use reached the limit for the only means of road construction to bear; thus the multilateral efforts to find a solution to this problem together with the examination and research on this issue, among which the most representative strategy is Ramp Metering System controlling access traffic volume to connection roads. The operation standard and running time was re-established in consideration of geographical conditions and traffic circumstances by considering the standard of operation and running time of the currently operated Jangsu- Jungdong section of the outer ring expressway of Seoul. For this purpose, this research analyzed the operative standard of RMS home and abroad and suggested a new operative standard of ramp metering through the analysis of break points.

This study develops model for analysis of relationship between major node (Interchange in expressway) and land price formation of apartments along with Seoul Belt Expressway by using CHAID analysis. The results show that first, regions(outer side: Gyeongido, inner side: Seoul) on the line of Seoul Belt Expressway are different and a graph generally show llinear relationships between land price and traffic node but it does not; second, CHAID analysis shows two different spatial distribution at the point of 2.6km in the outer side, but three different spatial distribution at the point of 1.4km and 3.8km in the inner side. In other words, traffic access does not necessarily guarantee high housing price since the graphs shows land price related to composite spatial distribution. This implies that residential environments (highway noise and regional discontinuity) and traffic accessibility cause mutual interaction to generate this phenomenon. Therefore, the highway IC landprice model will be beneficial for calculation of land price in New Town which constantly is being built along the highway.

This Study deals with effect of low visibility condition at nighttime on traffic accident. Roads for experiment of this study are Gyeongbu expressway, Seohaean expressway, Yeongdong expressway and Seoul beltway in Gyeonggi province. For this study, I subdivided basic straight section of them into 58 short section. And I analyzed effect of low visibility condition by darkness at nighttime on traffic accident by using 410 traffic accidents between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2012 on those sections. The Quasi-experimental and negative binomial regression were applied to analyze effect of low visibility condition at nighttime on traffic accident. In this study, I only analyzed visibility difference of daytime and nighttime on traffic accident except other effective variables on traffic accidents. As a result, I have found that it is for low visibility condition at nighttime to have effect on traffic accidents at such specific conditions as Los A speed is maintained in basic straight section of expressway in fine weather. And I tried to do various analysis on types and causes of traffic accidents using the result of analysis.

This study explores passengers' travel characteristics at six bus stops on the Seoul Ring Expressway using smart traffic card data. Based on the characteristics, political strategies to improve bus facilities on expressway are suggested. Firstly, among them two bus stops of Guri and Uiwang-Cheonggye have higher transfer rate of passengers, 37.56% and 36.9% of the total intercity (red) bus passengers on the expressway, respectively. Secondly, Uiwang-Cheonggye bus stop has the highest transfer rate, and Guri bus stop has also higher transfer rate and the highest on-and-off passengers. It implies that both bus stops need to be prioritized for improving bus stop facility, access roads, and connection facility between the bi-directional stops. Thirdly, Guri (down) bus stop has relatively longer waiting time for transfer, thus shorter bus headways running the bus stop should be considered. Lastly, most passengers using both stops come to and from Bundang-gu in Geongnam City. Overall, the results of this study would be helpful for transport planners to develop effective bus route policies and bus operation.

Ramp metering has been used to solve recurrent or non-recurrent congestion on many highways. However, the existing ramp metering methods cannot control non-recurrent congestion like incident and don't have any methods to solve congestion after congestion. In addition, the methods cannot solve congestion quickly because ramp metering operates independently for each ramp. In this study, we developed SARAM which is ramp metering technique with shockwave theory in order to solve the problems. In simulation from Jangsoo IC to Joongdong IC, we confirmed that speed increased by 7.32km/h and delay time reduced by 39.14sec.

Density is applied both three major macroscopic traffic variables (traffic volume, speed, and density) and two measures of effectiveness (MOE) for level of service (LOS) on highway (density and V/C). Especially, it is known for the most accurate MOE on evaluating the LOS of highway. Despite such importance, there is a lack of study on density relatively than other variables for its difficulty of measurement. Existing density estimation methods have some limitations such as density values of same traffic flow vary with collecting time. In this study, we researched actual density measuring method with panoramic image, after each CCTV images in the Sapaesan Tunnel on Seoul Ring Expressway are matched into one panoramic image. Analysis through the Central Limit Theorem shows that density of 24 1 km-images, which means 24 second, applies traffic situation well. That is to say that reasonable density value regardless of collecting time, and practical density which represents actual traffic flow can be taken in case of measuring density by suggested collecting cycle.

1968년 경인고속도로를 시작으로 국내 도로환경이 변화하면서 교통소음이 주거환경에 문제로 제기되었으며, 80년대부터 시작된 포장재질의 콘크리트화 추세는 교통소음의 증가요인이 되었고, 신도시 고속도로 및 도시외곽 순환도로 등의 확충 사업은 주거환경 내에서도 교통소음을 발생시키고 있다. 이와 같이 도로교통소음은 주거환경의 쾌적성을 침해하는 가장 큰 요인으로 1993년 국내 환경오염 피해진정 건수중 소음.진동의 민원이 약 44%로 가장 높게 나타나고 있는 실정이며. 문제가 교통소음의 발생원은 자동차 발생소음(power level)은 각 음원별 소음특성을 검토 하는 것이 중요하나 소음의 평가방법에 대한 연구는 국내.외에서 각 음원별 특성을 포함한 연구로 1970년대 이후 급속히 전개되어 왔으나, 최근 도로변 건물의 고층화 현상은 방음(전파경로)대책 수립에 한계를 나타내고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같은 문제 점을 해결하기 위해서는 그동안 체계적인 연구가 이루어지지 않은 노면(포장)형태에 따른 자동차 주행소음의 특성에 관한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단한다.

본 연구는 지속적인 교통량의 증가로 인해 발생되고 있는 고속도로의 혼잡을 해결하기 위해 한국도로공사에서 도입, 시범사업을 실시하고 있는 자동요금징수시스템의 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 하이패스라고 하는 자동요금징수시스템의 시범운영이 실시되고 있는 서울외곽순환고속도로의 판교, 청계, 성남 톨게이트를 대상으로 정량적 측면과 정성적 측면에 대해 시범사업 시행 전.후의 상황에 대해 비교.분석하였다. 시행 전.후를 비교해 본 결과, 정량적 측면에서 각 톨게이트 별 시간대별로 다른 결과를 보이긴 하지만 이용율이 비교적 높은 오전 첨두시에는 3개 톨게이트 모두 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나, 일정수준 이상의 이용율이 있는 경우는 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 정성적 측면의 이용자 만족도 조사에서는 하이패스 이용자의 84%가 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며 비이용자 선호도 조사에서는 응답자의 91%가 하이패스 이용의사가 있는 것으로 조사되어 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로 7,000대의 단말기 과소 보급으로 아직까지는 평균 3.9%의 저조한 이용율을 보여 시범사업의 전반적인 사업효과가 제대로 나타나지 알고 있지만, 비교적 하이패스의 이용율이 높은 오전첨두에는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타난 점을 보아 2000년 12월부터 시행되고 있는 단말기의 추가 보급이 완료되는 시점에는 그 효과가 분명하게 나타날 것으로 예상된다. 따라서. 이용자의 만족도와 비 이용자의 선호도가 매우 높은 상황에서 현재의 시범운영상에서 발생된 문제점을 개선하여 하이패스를 확대.보급한다면 고속도로의 혼잡을 해결할 수 있는 좋은 방안이 될 것으로 판단된다.
