Wireless communication technologies including vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) enable the development of more sophisticated and effective traffic information systems. This study presents a method to estimate vehicular travel times in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) environment. A novel feature of the proposed method is estimating individual vehicle travel times through advanced on-board units in each vehicle, referred to as self-estimated travel time in this study. The method uses travel information including vehicle position and speed at each given time step transmitted through the V2V and V2I communications. Vehicle trajectory data obtained from the VISSIM simulator is used for evaluating the accuracy of estimated travel times. Relevant technical issues for successful field implementation are also discussed.

Trip distribution is the second step of the conventional travel demand estimation process, which connects trips between origin and destination, while transport mode choice is the third step of the process, which chooses transport mode among several modes serving for each origin-destination pair. Although these two steps have closely connected, they have been estimated independently each other in the estimation procedure. This paper presents an integrated model combining trip distribution and transport mode choice, and also presents its solution algorithm. The model integrates gravity model adopted for the trip distribution process with logit model employed for the mode choice process. The model would be expected to cope with the inconsistency issue existing in the conventional travel demand estimation procedure. This paper also presents an equilibrium condition, sensitivity of the model, and compares them with those of existing models.

The bus probe-based link travel times were more readily available due to bus' fixed route schedule and it was different from that of taxi-based one in its value for the same link. At the same time, the bus-based one showed less accurate information than the taxi-based link travel time, in terms of reliability expressed by 1-RMSE(%) measure. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a heuristic algorithm for mixing both sources-based link travel times. The algorithm used both real-time and historical profile travel times. Real-time source used 4 consecutive periods' average and historical source used average value of link travel time for various congestion levels. The algorithm was evaluated for Seoul urban arterial network 3 corridors and 20 links. The results based on the developed algorithm were superior than the mere fusion based link travel times and the reliability amounted up to 71.45%. Some limitation and future research agenda have also been discussed.

Facing congestion, people want to know traffic information about their routes, especially real-time link travel time (LTT). In this paper, as a sequel paper of the previous non-taxi based LTT generating study by Choi et al. (1998), taxi based GPS probes have been tried to produce LTT for urban arterials. Taxis in itself are good deployment mode of GPS probes although it by nature experiences boarding and alighting time noises which should be accounted. A heuristic real-time dynamic outlier filter algorithm for taxi GPS probe has been developed focusing on urban arterials. An actual traffic survey for dynamic link travel times has been conducted using license plate method for the test arterials of Seoul city transportation network. With the algorithm, it is estimated that 70% of outliers have been filtered and the relative error has been improved by 73.7%. The filtering algorithm developed here would be expected to be in use for other spatial sites with some calibration efforts. Some limitations and future research agenda have also been discussed.

이 논문은 O-D 접근방법과 P-A 접근방법을 이론적으로 서로 비교한 연구이다. O-D 접근방법은 전통적인 교통수요 4단계 분석기법의 모든 과정에서 통행수 산출을 통행 유출과 통행유인의 개념을 적용하여 O-D 통행량을 사용한 기법으로 정의되었다. 이러한 O-D 접근방법은 우리 나라에서 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 기법이다. P-A 접근방법은 통행 발생, 통행분포, 교통수단선책 분석과정까지 통행생성과 통행유인의 개념을 적용하여 P-A 통행량을 사용한 기법으로 정의되었으며, 노선배경 분석단계에 앞서 P-A 통행량을 O-D 통 행량으로 전환되어져야 한다. P-A 접근방법은 구미국가들에서 보편적으로 사용되는 기법이 다. 이러한 두 접근방법은 통행목적 분류에서 귀가통행이 별도로 분류되어있는가 혹은 아닌 가에 따라 쉽게 구분되어 질 수 있다. 만일 귀가통행이 통행목적의 분류에서 별도로 구분되 어 있으면 O-D 접근방법이 적용되고 있음을 의미하는 것이다. 이 연구는 전통적 교통수요 4단계 분석과정 중 통행발생, 통행분포 및 교통수단선택의 각 분석과정에서 두 접근방법간 의 이론적 차이점을 명확히 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 그러므로써 형태적 통행패턴을 상대적 으로 잘 설명하며 또한 집합적 오차를 상대적으로 초 lth화할 수 있는 기법이 어느 것인가 를 이론적으로 찾고자 하였다. 이 연구에서는 행태적 측면에서 통행패턴을 P-A 접근방법이 더 잘 표현하고 있으며 또한 집합화 오차도 P-A 접근방법이 더 적으므로 P-A 접근방법이 O-D 접근방법보다 이론적으로 더 우수하다고 결론지었다. 또한 이 연구는 통행발생, 통행 분포, 교통수단선택 분석과정이 끝난 후 P-A 통행량에서 O-D 통행량으로 전환하는 것이 통행발생, 통행분포의 분석과정이 끝난 후에 O-D 통행량으로 전환하는 것보다 더 바람직하 다고 추천하였다.

The recent trend in transportation planning information is to reduce traffic survey costs and enhance accuracy by using and converging various sources of external data. In Korea, mobile phone data can help generate useful transportation planning information, thanks to the universal use of mobile phones, which are present in a number greater than that of the population. This paper addresses measures to derive trip generation information from mobile phone data and verifies the value of the system for practical use by correlation analysis with KTDB trip generation data. The results show that trip generation information produced by mobile phone data correlates with existing (KTDB) trip generation data.

In general, based on traffic data in a ideal traffic condition, BPR cost function is used to a variety of transportation policies. However, Some researchers have reported that BRP cost function is not appropriate for analyzing traffic pattern as well as forecasting future demand.(Spiess, 1989 ; Singh, 1999) Therefore, in this paper to solve this problem, a methodology based on data through Micro traffic Simulator Based(MSB) is developed. As a result following outputs are obtained ; (1) presenting a methodology to develop a travel cost function through VISSIM in order to assess transportation policies and (2) developing BRP cost function and MSB cost function from data analysis through VISSIM and verifying availability of MSB function by comparative analysis.

In this paper, a dynamic prediction algorithm using the cumulative distribution function for traffic volume is presented as a new method for predicting highway traffic rate more accurately, where an approximation function of the cumulative distribution function is obtained through numerical methods such as natural cubic spline interpolation and Levenberg-Marquardt method. This algorithm is a new structure of random number generation algorithm using the cumulative distribution function used in financial mathematics to be suitable for predicting traffic flow. It can be confirmed that if the highway traffic rate is simulated with this algorithm, the result is very similar to the actual traffic volume. Therefore, this algorithm is a new one that can be used in a variety of areas that require traffic forecasting as well as highways.

The main goal of this paper is to develop a methodology for increasing the reliability of truck OD matrices in Seoul Metropolitan Area. We propose a Hybrid Method made up of five processes by using Non-Traffic Assignment and Gradient Method. A Hybrid Method and Gradient Method have applied for comparison and estimation in Seoul Metropolitan Area. Mean Error and Root Mean Square Error of a Hybrid Method present lower than Gradient Method. The findings of this paper show that the new truck OD matrices created by a Hybrid Method are more reliable than the existing truck OD matrices in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

In our study, we present a new LOGIT-based traffic assignment model applicable to intercity railway network. Most traffic assignment models have been developed for public transit assignment in urban area, so that they are known to produce unrealistic results in intercity railway demand analysis. Especially, since the introduction of KTX, more passengers are using a route including KTX service and the schedule becomes more compatible with transfer. Our study presents a new LOGIT-based traffic assignment model considering passenger transfer. To do so, we suggest a new route search algorithm to find K paths with non increasing order in the utility value.
