Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provides an analytical delay estimation model to assist the evaluation of traffic at a signalized intersection. The model revised and included in the HCM published in the year 2000 reflects the results of recent studies and is utilized in various fields of transportation studies. For the implementation of the model in the case of permitted left turns, the HCM supplement provides a computational procedure to adjust the saturation flow rate of permitted left toms. The model however, is originally designed for a protected movement and thus underestimates the delay of permitted left turns due to its difference right-of-way nature. This document describes (1) a review of the theoretical background of the HCM delay estimation model, (2) problems embedded in the model for the delay estimation of permitted left turns, (3) a proposed model developed in this study to improve the delay estimation for permitted left turns and (4) a set of verification tests. In order to reflect various traffic and control conditions in the test, simulation studies were performed to by using the field data based on 120 different permitted left-turn scenarios. Comparison studies conducted between sets of delays estimated by the HCM and the proposed models against a set of the CORSIM delays and showed that the proposed model improved the estimation of the permitted left-turn delays. The explanatory variable of the relationship between the HCM delay and the simulation delay was 0.47 and the one between the delay estimated by the proposed model and the simulation delay was 0.77.

Signalized intersection analysis using lane groups often generalizes distinct characteristics of individual lanes. An individual lane level analysis procedure is proposed. The method can assess individual lane LOS without additional data collection efforts. Analysis results of the proposed method were compared with the current HCM analysis results and outputs of aaSIDRA, which can calculate intersection performance lane-by-lane. The results showed individual lane analysis mostly produces similar results with HCM and aaSIDRA. However, lane analysis results for permitted left lanes showed some differences with aaSIRDRA due to the different method of assessing saturation flow rate of the permitted left turn movement. It is expected that the proposed method could complement the weaknesses of current HCM signalized intersection analysis.

충주댐 및 소양강댐 유역에 대해 현재 한국수자원공사에서 개발 사용되고 있는 저류함수 유출모형에 최적화 기법을 적용하여 모형을 효율적으로 자동보정 하기위함이 본 연구의 목적이다. 최적화 기법으로는 다양한 조건하에서도 해의 안정성이 Gradient-Based 방법보다 우수한 직접 탐색법(Direct Search Method)의 하나인 Pattern-Search법으로 선정하였으며 목적함수로는 산정된 유출과 관측치의 편차의 제곱에 대한 누계치로 정의하였다. 합성유입량(Synthetic Inflow)을 이용한 민감도 분석에 의해 매개변수 5개(유역 저류상수 및 지체시간, 포화우량, 하도의 지체시간)를 결정변수로 선정하였다. 또한 실시간 모형의 보정을 위하여 최적화 모형의 수렴조건을 분석한 결과 P-S 법의 증분 감소횟수 2회가 합리적으로 나타났다. 본 모형을 충주댐 및 소양강댐의 과거 홍수사상에 대해 적용하였으며 댐지점에서 전체유역을 일괄 보정하는 방법과 댐 상류 수위국을 기준으로 나눈 중유역별로 일괄 보정하는 방법을 채택하여 분석하였다. 실시간 보정된 모형의 예측기능을 시험한 결과 상당한 오차발생의 여지가 충분하며 중유역별 매개변수의 보정은 대유역 일괄보정에 비해 예측에 따른 오차를 줄일 수 있는 방법의 하나이다. 또한 최적화 기법에 의한 매개변수의 자동 보정은 시행착오에 의한 수동보정의 경우보다 시간 및 노력면에서 효율적이며 보다 신뢰성 있는 보정을 실시 할 수 있다.

Peace dam constructed against the water attack had stopped in the first step, linked with Hwacheon dam through bypass tunnels and had an effect of flood surcharging in its pocket on Hwacheon dam downstream. To study the utility of Peace dam, the flood control effects of Peace dam and the restricted water level (RWL) in Hwacheon dam were reviewed and identified with operating Hwacheon dam system. Analysing the results the ideas of expanding the usability of the water resources in Hwacheon dam system were suggested. To do that, the criteria and the model of reservoir operation were established frist and the optimization of the operation have done. Based on the results the performance of the optimization was evaluated as an reference coefficient with relative value of the registered data to the optimized. And examining several alternatives for the RWL in Hwacheon reservoir operation made more feasible RWL suggested. And its economic benefit was also reckoned.
