전산기술의 발달에 힘입어 근래에 모의실험을 이용한 연속교통류의 미시적 분석이 활발히 수행되고 있고 다양한 모의실험 전산모형이 소개되고 있다. 미시적 연속교통류 전산모의실험은 차량추종모형과 차로변경모형을 적용하여 다양한 운전자들의 차량운행행태를 모사하여 분석하는 실험이다. 전산모형은 난수를 토대로 차량의 자유속도와 초기 발생 차로를 배정하기 때문에 낮은 자유속도를 할당받은 차량이 높은 속도의 차로(예:1차로)로 발생되는 경우가 발생한다. 많은 모의실험모형이 사용하고 있는 차로변경의 가정이 "운전자는 자신이 원하는 속도(자유속도)를 유지한다"는 것이며 그러한 가정만의 적용으로 인해 현실적이지 않은 차로 이용률이 결과되고, 따라서 전산모형을 통한 교통류 흐름분석에 문제를 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 미국 도로국에서 20여년 동안 개발되고 수정되어왔으며 현재 실용적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Freeway Simulation(FRESIM) 전산모형이 내재한 차로변경모형을 토대로 고속도로 기본구간에서의 선택적 차로변경모형을 제시한다. 제시된 모형에서는 (1)저속의 선행차량이 고속의 후행차량에게 차로를 양보하는 가정이 새롭게 추가되고 (2)FRESIM모형에서 사용하는 상수값을 국내 현장조사를 통하여 도출된 분포식을 통한 값으로 대체하였다. 수집된 자료분석결과 연속 교통류에서의 15% 차두시간은 1.34초이며 차로변경시간은 평균 2.22초인 F분포를 따르고, 자유속도는 정규분포를 따르는 것으로 결과되었다. 모의실험결과 무작위난수를 토대로 배정된 차로로 생성된 차량들이 새롭게 제시된 차로변경모형의 적용으로 현장 차로이용률을 95% 신뢰수준에서 모사하는 것으로 분석되었다.

There are two goals in this paper. The one is development of existing CA(Cellular Automata) model to explain more realistic deceleration process to stop. The other is the application of the updated CA model to forecasting simulation to predict short term link travel time that takes a key rule in finding the shortest path of route guidance system of ITS. Car following theory of CA models don't makes not response to leading vehicle's velocity but gap or distance between leading vehicles and following vehicles. So a following vehicle running at free flow speed must meet steeply sudden deceleration to avoid back collision within unrealistic braking distance. To tackle above unrealistic deceleration rule, “Slow-to-stop” rule is integrated into NaSch model. For application to interrupted traffic flow, this paper applies “Slow-to-stop” rule to both normal traffic light and random traffic light. And vehicle packet method is used to simulate a large-scale network on the desktop. Generally, time series data analysis methods such as neural network, ARIMA, and Kalman filtering are used for short term link travel time prediction that is crucial to find an optimal dynamic shortest path. But those methods have time-lag problems and are hard to capture traffic flow mechanism such as spill over and spill back etc. To address above problems. the CA model built in this study is used for forecasting simulation to predict short term link travel time in Kangnam district network And it's turned out that short term prediction simulation method generates novel results, taking a crack of time lag problems and considering interrupted traffic flow mechanism.

The travel behavior can be analysed microscopically using GPS because the travel characteristics can be found out by travelling two test cars loaded with GPS equipments. The speed difference and spacing variation between the lead vehicle and the following's in uninterrupted flow are the important variables related to capacity and safety. This study analysed these with data obtained by travelling the 4th Line and 28th Line of the national road. The variation width in speed difference in the run time is below 3.0%. But, related to the speed difference in the situation of acceleration and deceleration the difference after 4second is bigger than that just after the start. The spacing variation is similar to this. The spacing just before deceleration concerning safety was analysed. When the theoretical values by the modeling method and observed values were compared, the observed values were analysed 12.52% shorter than the other in average.

This study developed a methodology that can reflect more realistic traffic flow to understand platoons on highways. The understanding of the phenomenon nay secure highway safety and authoritative credibility in highway planning. In this study platoons generated by 'random effects' of cars are modeled, and this model is validated using a real data set acquired from the Jayu Expressway in Kyonggi Province, Korea.

In this study an ANFIS-based trajectory tracking motion control algorithm is proposed for autonomous garage and parallel parking of a model car. The ANFIS controller is trained off-line using data set which obtained by Mandani fuzzy inference system and thereby the processing time decreases almost in half. The controller with a steering delay compensator is tuned through simulations performed under MATLAB/Simulink environment. Experiments are carried out with the model car for garage and parallel parking. The experimental results show that the trajectory tracking performance is satisfactory under various initial and road conditions

The linear traffic model(Vertical queueing model) that is adopted widely in traffic flow estimation assumes that all vehicles have the identical motion before joining a queue at the stop-line. Thus, a queue is supposed to form vertically not horizontally. Due to the simplicity of this model, the departure time of the leading vehicle is assumed to coincide with the start of effective green time. Thus, the delay estimates given by the Vertical queueing model is not always realistic. This paper explores a microscopic traffic model(a Kinematic Car-following model at Signalised intersections: a KCS traffic model) based on the one dimensional Kinematic equations in physics. A comparative evaluation in delay and sensitivity of delay difference between the KCS traffic model and the previously known Vertical queueing model is presented. The results show that the delay estimate in the Vertical queueing model is always greater than or equal to the KCS traffic model; however, the sensitivity of delay in the KCS traffic model is greater than the Vertical queueing model.

The two characteristics of two-lane-and-two-way traffic flow are platoon and overtaking triggered by low-speed vehicle. It is crucial to develop a robust model which simultaneously generates the behaviors of platoon by low-speed vehicle and overtaking using opposite lane. Hence, a microscopic two-lane and two-way vehicle model was introduced (B. Yoon, 2011), which is based on CA (Cellular Automata) which is one of discrete time-space models, in Korea. While the model very reasonably explains the behaviour of overtaking low-speed vehicle in stable traffic flow below critical density, it has shortcomings to the overtaking process in unstable traffic flow above the critical density. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develope a vehicle model to more realistically explain overtaking process in unstable traffic flow state based on the model developed in the previous study. The experimental results revealed that the car-following model robustly generates the various macroscopic relationships of traffic flow generating stop-and-go traffic flow and the overtaking model reasonably explains the behaviors of overtaking under the conditions of both opposite traffic flow and stochastic parameter to consider overtaking in unstable traffic flow state. The vehicle model presented in this study can be expected to be utilized for the analysis of two-lane-and-two-way traffic flows more realistically than before.

The purpose of this study is to verify the safety issue of the tinted vehicle based on the field study as well as the issue of the capacity reduction from the tinted vehicle. Through this study, an innovative experimental method to verify the issues was developed using RTK GPS receivers, and a data collection was conducted using the developed experimental method. Using the collected data, the effects of the ahead vehicle with the windows tinted on the traffic condition such as headways and acceleration noise were analyzed to test that the ahead vehicle with windows tinted too darkly affects the increasing vehicle maneuver as following the degree of tinting. This study was conducted as a frontier study and more studies, for example, full scale analyses considering various road and vehicle conditions need to be conducted in the future.

Traffic flow which is prescribed under previous traffic effect/access act is analyzed by traffic volume, V/C, mean speed on road and LOS on the intersection. These indexes based on analytical method can not consider stochastic characteristics of traffic flow. Moreover it is hard to analyze traffic flow visually in whole traffic effect area because only individual road and intersections are targeted. In this study, it is devised to show traffic flow analysis method within traffic effect area visually applying microscopic-simulation by car-following theory, and then based on this, effect analyze ways are studied according to space range plan, improvement measure establishment and etc. To execute this study, effect area is set up using V/C, and the change of traffic current around development area is analyzed using microscopic-simulation program.
