When the queue length of congestion vehicles in tunnel fire is extended beyond tunnel length, the capacity of smoke control system needs to be increased in line with ventilation resistance. However, the vehicle queue length is not defined, so a rational equation is necessary in current fire prevention guideline. This study is intended to propose an equation to calculate the queue length considering the number of vehicles in queue in tunnel fire and evaluate the applicability by tunnel length as well. When it comes to normal tunnel, it is necessary to compare the vehicle queue length with tunnel length up to the length of 1,200 m in a bid to avoid applying the vehicle queue length excessively in case of fire. As a result of evaluation of applicability to model a tunnel, saving the number of jet fan for smoke control appeared to be effective. Besides, quantitative approach to explain the vehicle queue length through the relationship between the percentage of large vehicles and tunnel length was presented. Consequently, when the queue length of the congestion vehicles exceeds the tunnel length in determining the capacity of smoke control system in case of fire, the number of vehicles beyond the tunnel length needs to be excluded from estimating the ventilation resistance by vehicles.

This study is to investigate the effects of driving anger and traffic congestion on drivers' behaviors. Driving anger is the propensity to become angry while driving, and people differ in the tendency to get angry when encountering frustration and provocation on the road. Individual differences of the propensity contribute to anger on the road and aggressive driving leading traffic vaiolations and accidents. In the experiment three traffic conditions (an open road condition, a bumper-to-bumper traffic condition and a being stuck behind a slower driver condition) were simulated and driving behaviors were collected with RTSA-DS(Road Traffic Safety Authority-Driving Simulator). The results were as follows: Most of high anger drives drove at higher speeds in an open road condition, and in the bumper-to-bumper condition they drove faster and had an higher crash rate, which suggests they did aggressive driving, and risky and unsafe behaviors.

The ubiquitous transportation system environments make it possible to collect each vehicle's position and velocity data and to perform more sophisticated traffic flow management at individual vehicle or platoon level through V2V and V2I communication. It is necessary to develop a new traffic management paradigm to take advantage of the ubiquitous transportation system environments. This paper proposed a preventive congestion management algorithm for uninterrupted flow, whose goal is to minimize the incident potential and maximize the productivity by maintaining traffic flow stability. The algorithm includes the following steps: Processing the raw data to produce the 3-dimension speed/flow/density profile and to produce the platoon profile and the shock wave profile, Determining the traffic state and the flow stability based on the processed data, Deciding the desirable speed the according the traffic flow state, and finally Providing the desirable speed information. It remains as further work to perform field experiments and calibrate the algorithm parameters.

영상 검지기를 통한 차량 탐지 방법은 날씨와 같은 환경에 민감하게 반응하여 차량의 미탐지 및 오탐지가 발생하게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 다양한 일기조건하에서 차량 추적 방법에 대해 제안한다. 다양한 일기 조건하에서의 차량 추적은 눈, 비, 안개 환경에서 각 날씨의 특징을 분석, 반영하여 차량을 탐지하고 추적한다. 눈이 내리는 환경에서는 눈이 카메라 가까이에서 차량 blob으로 잘못 탐지되는 blob을 제거하기 위해 카메라와의 거리에 따른 실제 크기를 구하는 size filtering 방법을 사용한다. 비, 안개 환경에서는 흐릿해진 영상 때문에 차량이 교통신호등에 의해 차량 정체시 여러 차량이 하나의 blob으로 탐지되는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 이전 영상에서의 차량 위치 정보를 이용한 재 blob화 방법을 사용한다.

This study focuses on resolving traffic congestion caused by a large scale event based on the case of ROK Joint Officer Commissioning Ceremony, and it was conducted through literature review as well as Arena Simulation. The study purpose is to appropriately allocate and disperse the traffic by utilizing nearby parking lots of facilities. The annual event draws about 7,400 vehicles to a limited number of parking lots, and all vehicles leave the parking lots concurrently, causing a severe bottleneck near the exit and a few roads. In order to resolve the issue, the optimal number of cars in the event area was analyzed. After the analysis, the study found that the overflow of cars in the event area should be allocated to nearby parking lots of facilities with shuttle buses operating to transport the attendees. As the proposed result of the simulation, the traffic congestion time was reduced from 150 minutes to 64 minutes, a total reduction of 86 minutes.

In this paper, we propose a new background generation method for image detector for traffic information collection. Conventional methods result in bad performance when there are frequent traffic jams due to heavy traffic. To improve on this, we use high level information from vehicle detection. Only part of the image that is not considered as vehicle is used in background generation. The proposed method finds background more robustly than that of the conventional methods even in the presence of heavy traffic.

The ubiquitous transportation system environments make it possible to collect each vehicle's position and velocity data and to perform more sophisticated traffic flow management at individual vehicle or platoon level through V2V and V2I communications. The VISSIM simulation experiments were performed to address the issues in developing the preventive congestion management algorithm proposed in the companion paper. Traffic flow stability measures were developed based on the platoon profile, which enables us to explicitly consider traffic flow stability in traffic flow management. Traffic flow management strategies according to the traffic flow states were proposed: Maintain the equilibrium speed for free flow state, maintain the traffic flow stability by platoon control for critical state, and surpress the shock wave propagation for congested state. And finally potential benefit of the proposed traffic flow management scheme was evaluated based on the simulation experiment results. It is considered that extensive field experiments should be performed to confirm the simulated results.

Korea, the traffic and transportation problems are significant because private cars are increasing constantly. Therefore, it is imperative to improve traffic condition so as to solve the problems such as traffic congestion and accidents which may occur due to the increase of vehicles in a limited area through the signal control. However, the current operating system for traffic control cannot provide car users the optimal signal but it generates a time delay of vehicles, traffic congestions etc. In this paper, we propose and implement the system based on V2X based automatic controller, which reduces the waste of time and the driver's psychological stress on the road intersection.

영상검지기에서 차량 탐지를 위해 사용하는 방법은 배경차이(Background Differencing), 장면차이(Frame Differencing), 공간차이(Spatial Differencing), 밝기값 비교(Gray-Level Comparison) 등이 있다. 이 방법들중에서 배경차이 방법은 기준이 되는 배경영상과 입력영상의 차를 구해 차량을 탐지하는데 대부분의 영상검지기에서 채택 되어 사용되는 방법이다. 배경차이 방법에서 가장 중요한 것은 매번 기준이 되는 배경영상을 정확하게 구하는 것 인데, 영상내 차량의 흐름이 원활하다면 어느 배경생성 방법을 사용해도 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있지만 차량의 정체 가 심하거나 장기간 지속되면 좋은 배경을 생성하기가 어렵다 특히 교차로의 경우 진행중인 차량 및 신호 대기중 인 차량이 통시에 존재하므로 배경생성에 더욱 어려움을 겪게된다. 이상에서 제시된 세 가지 배경생성 방법을 고속도로와 교차로에서 적용시켜 각 배경영상 생성 방법을 비교 분석한다.
