The application of PPLT is difficult to analyze and judge only from the effects of the delay time. In this study, the application of PPLT was proposed using not only the delay time of PLT and PPLT due to the change in traffic volume and the number of opposite straight lanes but also the traffic volume of passing a left turn and the number of conflict risks as indicators. According to the analysis, the more left-turn traffic than capacity and the less opposite-straight volume, the greater the PPLT effect. On the other hand, if the left-turn traffic is below capacity, the delay time will be reduced partially, but the overall passing left turn volume will not increase, and the conflict risk will increase. In addition, the conflict risk increases in the third lane or higher. Moreover, the difference of passing left-turn volume between PLT and PPLT showed a pattern similar to the delay time difference, and the PPLT coverage was wider than the difference in delay time and was associated more with the conflict risk numbers. Therefore, it would be reasonable to use passing left-turn traffic primarily, consider the delay time below the left-turn capacity, and consider the conflicting risk numbers simultaneously at or above the opposite straight three lanes.

The objective of this thesis is to develop a capacity analysis and to develop a methodology to evaluate Level of Service over the entire freeway sections by single MOE (Measure of Effectiveness) This study set forth from a following viewpoint. to analyze entire freeway sections as freeway facility system, it is important to identify the exact point where congestion would occur and the extent of the congestion. Therefore, in this thesis, congestion mechanism on freeways was figured out and congestion analysis methodology was developed. Thereby maximum possible throughput rate and maximum throughput rate in bottleneck sections were calculated and a congestion analysis was carried out. The difference between the new method and existing Procedures is that maximum possible throughput rate and maximum throughput rate. that can be considered as capacities of un-congested and congested flow in the bottleneck section, are variable capacities dependent on demand flow.

일반적으로 교통수요가 용량보다 적으면 모든 교통량이 지체없이 신호교차로를 통 과 할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 비포화 상태에서는 어떻게 Delay나 Stop을 최소화시키느냐가 신호처리의 목적함수가 될 것이다. 그러나 교통수요가 용량보다 많아지면 신호교차로가 모 든 교통량을 통과시키지 못하므로 시간이 갈수록 대기 행렬이 점점 길어질 것이다. 이러한 과포화상태에서는 늘어나는 대기 행렬을 조절하지 못하면 결국에는 Spillback이 상류 교차 로로 확대되어 최악에는 교차로에서의 모든 방향의 움직임을 정지시키는 Gridlock상태로까 지 악화 될 수 있다. 따라서 과포화 상태에서는 비포화 상태와는 달리 늘어나는 대기행렬을 조절하여 통과 교통량을 최대화 시키는 것이 신호처리의 목적 함수가 될 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 과포화시의 간선도로를 신호처리에 의해 일정한 대기행렬을 유지하므로써 시 스템을 최적화 하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. IMPOST(Internal Metering Policy to Optimize Signal Timing)는 논문에서 개발한 알고리즘을 C언어로 프로그래밍한 model이다.

The warrants to install traffic signals used in U.S.A. are well specified comparing to those in other countries. Among the eleven warrants of the U.S.A., the Warrant 9, 10, and 11 are especially fit in practice. The warrant relaxed to traffic volumes used presently in Korea have been adopted from the U.S.A. Those may not have been reliable in the traffic situation of Korea. The rules required passing through intersections are not kept well at intersections controlled without signals. The purposes of this study are to test and evaluate the reliability of the Warrant 9 and 11 adopted form U.S.A.n Korean traffic situation and to propose new traffic signal warrants related to traffic volumes fitted in here. The traffic volume warrants are proposed considering the situation of rules not being kept well(current situation) and that of vice versa(ideal situation). The results of this study are following; 1) The total volumes warranted to traffic signals are 1600vph, 1700vph, and 1800vph at 4-legs intersection having 1 by 1 lane, 1 by 2 lanes, and 2 by 2 lanes respectively. The total volumes warranted are 1400vph and 1600vph at 3-legs intersection haying 1 by 2 1anes, and 2 by 2 lanes respectively. 2) Another traffic warrants proposed are transformed from the currant warrants 9 and 11. These warrants are composed of the total volumes and the ratio of the volume of the minor street to that of the major street.

This study is about throughput analysis of the shared right turn lane at signalized intersection with lane width change. It is expected that the increased width of the right turn shared lane causes to increase the volume of right turn on red(RTOR) In this study, the throughput computation is designed to take into account the lost time which is caused by the blocked right turn due to the stop of through traffic. The saturation flow rate of right turn using the rest of lane after through traffic stops is included as well. Results show that the different RTOR volume levels due to the various shared lane width leads to a difference in throughput. For the shared right turn lanes. throughput capacity for various lane widths is bigger than that of the KHCM as much as from 1.1 to 2.1 times.

교통수요가 용량보다 많아지면 신호교차로가 모든 교통량을 통과시키지 못하므로 시간이 갈수록 대기 행렬이 점점 길어질 것이다. 이러한 과포화상태에서는 늘어나는 대기행렬을 조절하지 못하면 결국에는 Spillback이 상류 교차로로 확대되어 최악에는 교차로에서의 모든 방향의 움직임을 정지시키는 Gridlock상태로까지 악화될 수 있다. 따라서 과포화 상태에서는 비포화 상태와는 달리 늘어나는 대기 행렬을 조절하여 통과 교통량을 최대화 시키는 것이 신호처리의 목적 함수가 될 수 있을 것이다. 6월호의 논문에서는 Static 한 상태의 과포화 간선도로를 신호처리에 의해 일정한 대기행렬을 유지하므로써 시스템을 최적화하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 그러나 과포화 간선도로의 교통수요는 매 Cycle 마다 Dynamic 하게 변하고, 과포화의 교통상황에서는 미미한 교통 변화가 우리가 염려하는 Spillback 을 야기시킬 수 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 6월호에서 개발한 알고리즘에 기초하여 실시간으로 신호처리 하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 과포화 상태의 5개의 신호교차로를 가진 간선도로를 Simulation 하여 비교한 결과 본 논문에서 개발한 알고리즘이 PASSER II 나 TRANSYT 7F 보다 차량 한 대당 평균 운행시간이 각각 30%, 20% 줄어들었다.

This study develops a $CO_2$ emissions estimation method, which considers different O/D travel patterns and through traffic volumes, in different regions for $CO_2$ emissions management in the field of transportation. In the research, O/D and network data provided by the Korea Transport Database (KTDB) Center are used as basic data. The results show that the total emission was similar to the Metropolitan's total emission which was estimated by KTDB (2009). With the analysis focusing on Gyeonggi-do, the results show that $CO_2$ emission from through traffic volumes was greater than $CO_2$ emissions of the Intra-Regional in southern regions; By contrast, $CO_2$ emissions of the Intra-Regional was greater than that from through traffic volumes in northern regions. Therefore, the $CO_2$ emissions management needs to be segregated into local government and nation with each travel pattern.

터널의 경우 도로교통용량이 일반구간에 비해 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 연속되는 터널의 경우에 있어 도로교통용량감소에 대한 연구는 아직 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로의 2지점에서 연속되는 터널의 도로교통용량의 감소특성을 이용한 터널보정계수를 산정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 도출하였다. (1) 터널을 통과하는 경우의 도로교통용량은 통과전보다 감소하는 것을 알 수 있으며, 연속되는 터널을 통과하는 경우 감소량은 이보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. (2) 터널보정계수$(f_{tu})$를 도출한 결과 하나의 터널을 통과하는 경우의 터널보정계수$(f_{tu1})$는 0.95, 연속되는 터널을 통과하는 경우의 터널보정 계수$(f_{tu2})$는 0.90으로 산정되었다.

The analytic methodology of a merging area in KHCM(2004) supposes that congestion nay occur when traffic demand is more than capacity However, in many cases, congestion on merging area occurs when summation of traffic demand of main line and ramp is less than capacity, and in present methodology analysis of how main line and ramp flow effect on congestion occurrence is difficult. In this study, the model that is able to estimate traffic flow condition on merging area in accordance with the combination of main line and ramp demand flow is developed. Main characteristic of the model is estimation of maximum possible throughput rate and maximum throughput rate according to the combination of main line and ramp demand flow. Through the estimation of maximum possible throughput rate and maximum throughput rate. it was Possible to predict whether congestion would occur or not and how much maximum throughput rate and congestion would be on merging area. On one hand, in present LOS evaluation methodology on merging area, congestion state is determined as un-congested flow if demand flow is less than capacity. Therefore, to establish more reasonable In evaluation method, new criterion of LOS evaluation on merging area was searched based on the model of this study.

Maximum traffic flow rate is an important performance measure of operational status in transport networks, and has been considered as a key parameter for transportation operation since a bottleneck in congestion decreases maximum traffic flow rate. Although previous studies for traffic flow analysis have been widely conducted, a detection method for changes in dynamic traffic flow has been still veiled. This paper explores the dynamic traffic flow detection that can be utilized for various traffic operational strategies. Turning point analysis (TPA), as a statistical method, is applied to detect the changes in traffic flow rate. In TPA, Bayesian approach is employed and vehicle arrival is assumed to follow Poisson distribution. To examine the performance of the TPA method, traffic flow data from Jayuro urban expressway were obtained and applied. We propose a novel methodology to detect turning points of dynamic traffic flow in real time using TPA. The results showed that the turning points identified in real-time detected the changes in traffic flow rate. We expect that the proposed methodology has wide application in traffic operation systems such as ramp-metering and variable lane control.
