The main objective of this paper is to analyze change of travel patterns according to public transportation reform. The paper uses data collected from Gyeongsan City. So far few researches, especially using before-and-after individual travel survey, have been conducted on analyzing effects of public transportation reform. For this research, some descriptive statistical analyses and statistical hypotheses tests were conducted. Furthermore, some empirical logit models were estimated for analyzing the individual effects of the public transportation reform. Finally, some important foundings, policy implications, and limitations of this research are discussed.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the changes in the travel pattern of public transit users, service satisfaction before and after public transportation system reform in Daegu. For this purpose, we conducted a survey of people on public transit users and the results of study are as follows : First, it was found that transfer trip had increased, especially concerning the changes of travel pattern from bus trip to the transfer trip between the bus and subway. Because it makes a financial sense to transfer based on free charge transfer system. Secondly, the transfer satisfaction was improved for public transit users, but they are still reluctant to use transfer system.

In this paper, travel speed patterns were deducted based on historical DSRC travel speed data using Decision Tree technique to improve availability of the massive amount of historical data. These patterns were designed to reflect spatio-temporal vicissitudes in reality by generating pattern units classified by months, time of day, and highway sections. The study area was from Seoul TG to Ansung IC sections on Gyung-bu highway where high peak time of day frequently occurs in South Korea. Decision Tree technique was applied to categorize travel speed according to day of week. As a result, five different pattern groups were generated: (Mon)(Tue Wed Thu)(Fri)(Sat)(Sun). Statistical verification was conducted to prove the validity of patterns on nine different highway sections, and the accuracy of fitting was found to be 93%. To reduce travel pattern errors against individual travel speed data, inclusion of four additional variables were also tested. Among those variables, 'traffic condition on previous month' variable improved the pattern grouping accuracy by reducing 50% of speed variance in the decision tree model developed.

In 2002, the 5-day workweek policy was effective in Korea. As we have expected, the 5-day workweek policy has changed people's travel behavior during weekdays and weekends. Several studies have been done to understand these changes and impacts on transportation systems. However, these studies have only focused on travel pattern changes without considering spatial factors. Said in another way, although individual travel pattern changes are usually investigated, indices adopted cannot describe travel pattern changes in a proper way due to lack of the spatial distribution measure. This study aims to analyze travel change since the 5-day work week policy in effect using a new index (i.e. Travel Vector Index) developed in this study, which can explain travel pattern changes in terms of magnitude and spatial point of views. The new index uses a GIS technology and TCS (Toll Collection System) databases in Korea. The results in this study show that the index is very useful and reliable to measure the travel patterns changes. They are applied to TCS data set and the results show that the 5-day workweek policy significantly affects on travel behaviors.

The main objective of this research is to develop urban workers' daily travel pattern choice model. For this research, a hovel pattern choice model was empirically estimated by using a survey data collected from Kyongsan and Yeungchun City. For this research, a nested logit model structure was employed. For the model specification, it is hypothesized that urban workers' daily travel pattern choice behavior is represented by two stages of choices with single-destination or multi destination travel pattern choice as the higher stage, and the number of tours as the lower stage. The urban workers' daily travel pattern choice model developed in this research yields intuitively reasonable results. From the empirical results, it is found to be sensible to represent urban workers' daily travel patterns as the nested logit model structure Hypothesized in this research. furthermore, future directions of model development are suggested.

이 연구는 자동 차량위치 측정기법(Automatic Vehicle Location, AVL)을 이용해서 수집한 교통상황자료를 가지고 구간 통행시간을 산출하는 알고리즘을 개발한다. AVL기법을 이용하는 경우, 처리해야 할 자료량이 많아서 실시간에 정보를 산출하는 것이 힘들다. 따라서 이 연구는 처리해야 할 자료량을 가능한 한 줄이고 자료량이 적은 경우에도 효율적인 구간통행시간을 산출하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이 연구의 방법론은 크게 4가지인데, 첫째, 해석 기법, 둘째, 회귀분석, 셋째, 인공지능 및 전문가 시스템, 넷째, 통계분석이다. 이 방법론을 이용해서 세 단계 알고리즘을 개발하는데, 첫째는 실시간 분석통계 알고리즘, 둘째는 과거자료분석 알고리즘, 셋째는 자료응합 알고리즘이다. 이 알고리즘 가운데 자료융합 알고리즘 결과가 산출하고자 하는 구간 통행시간이다. 실시간 분석통계 알고리즘은 연속하는 세 개 구간의 통행 패턴을 이용해서 가운데 구간의 통행시간을 산출하는 방법을 제시한다. 또 실시간 분석통계 알고리즘으로 산출하지 못한 구간은 인접구간 상관도 정보를 이용해서 구간통행시간을 추정한다. 과거자료분석 알고리즘은 회귀분석을 이용해서 시간대별 통행시간 평균과 분산을 구하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 인접구간 상관도 정보를 오프라인으로 구하는 알고리즘이다. 자료융합 알고리즘은 2가지 단계를 거치는데, 그것은 실시간 자료융합과 최종 자료융합이다. 실시간 자료융합은 실시간에 가까운 자료원의 실시간 분석통계 알고리즘 결과 패턴과 인접구간 상관도 정보를 이용한 구간통행시간 추정 결과를 이용해서 패턴에 따라 다른 방법으로 융합을 하는 알고리즘을 개발한다. 최종 자료융합은 실시간 자료융합 결과와 회귀분석 결과의 패턴을 이용해서 구간 통행시간을 산출한다. 이 연구를 기존 연구와 비교할 때, 세 가지 독차성이 있다. 첫째는 연속하는 세 구간 통행 패턴을 분석하였기 때문에 기존의 노드의존 방식을 탈피하였다는 점이다. 따라서 자료량이 적은 경우도 믿을만한 통행시간을 산출할 수 있다는 것이다. 둘째는 인접구간 상관도 정보를 구간통행시간 산출에 이용하였기 때문에 자료를 효율적으로 이용할 수 있다는 점이다. 셋째는 자료원 패턴을 분류하고 전문가 시스템을 이용하여 자료융합 하였기 때문에 수행속도가 빠르고, 신뢰성있는 정보를 제공한다는 점이다. 이 연구는 개발한 알고리즘 정확도를 검증하기 위해서 두 가지 검증방법을 이용하였다. 첫째는 시뮬레이션을 이용한 것이고, 둘째는 실제 주행조사 분석을 이용한 것이다. 두 가지 검증 결과는 알고리즘 정확도를 보여준다.

In this paper, multilevel models are adopted to identify interactions among household members in trip making behaviors. The multilevel approach is a proper methodology to handle samples, which are extracted from a hierarchical structure universe. PSTP dataset is used in developing models and understand proportion of variations among individuals and household. The results of this study show that for activity participation and travel behavior household level variance is more than 1/4 of person level variance and therefore not negligible. The results confirm the importance of multilevel model in travel behavior analysis.

The purpose of this study is to propose mining processes in the large trip-transaction database of the Metropolitan Seoul area and to analyze the spatial characteristics of travel behavior. For the purpose. this study introduces a mining algorithm developed for exploring trip patterns from the large trip-transaction database produced every day by transit users in the Metropolitan Seoul area. The algorithm computes trip chains of transit users by using the bus routes and a graph of the subway stops in the Seoul subway network. We explore the transfer frequency of the transit users in their trip chains in a day transaction database of three different years. We find the number of transit users who transfer to other bus or subway is increasing yearly. From the trip chains of the large trip-transaction database, trip patterns are mined to analyze how transit users travel in the public transportation system. The mining algorithm is a kind of level-wise approaches to find frequent trip patterns. The resulting frequent patterns are illustrated to show top-ranked subway stations and bus stops in their supports. From the outputs, we explore the travel patterns of three different time zones in a day. We obtain sufficient differences in the spatial structures in the travel patterns of origin and destination depending on time zones. In order to examine the changes in the travel patterns along time, we apply the algorithm to one day data per year since 2004. The results are visualized by utilizing GIS, and then the spatial characteristics of travel patterns are analyzed. The spatial distribution of trip origins and destinations shows the sharp distinction among time zones.

This study investigates the diurnal pattern of transit ridership in the Metropolitan Seoul area. For the purpose, we use a weekday Smart Card passenger transaction data in 2005. Eleven passenger trip patterns are found from 2.74 million passengers moving on the Metropolitan Seoul Metro system. Among them, we analyze 2.4 million passengers blonging to five trip types having only one or two transaction record during a day. A total of 357 metro stations are classified to four types according to their diurnal pattern of passenger riderships. We analyze the relationships between passenger's trip chain patterns and subway station's diurnal transit ridership patterns. The result shows that the ratio of the number of passengers of particular time of the day is hierarchically related with trip chain patterns.
