The core strategy of transit oriented development (TOD) is to promote high density mixed land use around railway stations. Case studies in advanced countries show that provision of policies for comprehensive maintenance of pedestrian facilities around railway station spheres is being pursued with efficacy. In spite of the importance placed on integrated pedestrian maintenance, domestic construction of integrated pedestrian infrastructure around railway station spheres lacks direction. Thus, there is a clear need for an evaluation standard that can provide the foundation for judgments on TOD improvement. This research proposes a network model that consolidates the interior of the station as well as its surrounding areas to determine the ease of pedestrian flow for effective TOD evaluation. The model considers the railway station and surrounding areas as an assembled network of pedestrian flow. The path chosen by the pedestrian is defined as the optimal degree of inconvenience, and expands on Wardrop's User Equilibrium (1952). To assess the various circumstances that arise on pedestrian facilities including congestion of the pedestrian pathway, constrained elevator capacity, and wait at the crosswalk, a variational inequality based pedestrian equilibrium distribution model is introduced.

교차로 접근지체의 산정은 간선도로의 서비스수준 평가에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 교차로 접근지체는 상류부 교차로에서 진입하는 교통에 대한 균일지체와 그 이외 단일로 상에 존재하는 세가로등에서 유입되는 교통에 대한 무작위지체, 1회의 신호주기에 교차로를 통과하지 못한 교통에 대한 잔여지체 등과 연동보정계수를 이용하여 산정된다. 우리나라를 비롯한 대부분의 나라에서는 미국에서 차량의 지체와 연동보정계수를 이용하여 개발된 교차로 접근지체 산정식의 구조를 그대로 수용하고 있다. 그러나 도심부 신호교차로 사이의 단일로에 보행자를 위한 횡단신호가 설치되어 있는 경우, 이러한 단일로 횡단신호가 하류부 교차로의 접근지체에 미치는 영향이 있을 것으로 판단한다. 따라서 미국과는 달리 신호교차로간의 간격이 크고, 단일로 상에 보행자용 횡단시호 설치가 빈번한 우리나라의 실정에서는 이에 대한 영향을 분석하여 교차로 접근지체 산정 시 이를 반영하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 단일로 횡단신호가 하류부 신호교차로에서의 접근지체에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여, 상류부 교차로와 단일로 중간부 횡단보도와의 거리, v/c 비, 신호 offset 등 상황을 설정하여 TRANSYT-7F를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 본 연구에 의하면 단이로 중간의 횡단신호가 상류부 교차로의 신호와 연동되지 않는 경우에는 하류부 교차로의 접근지체에 미치는 영향이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 연동 시에는 상류부 교차로와의 거리, v/c 비, 신호 offset 등에 따라 최고 80% 이상 까지 접근지체가 증가하였다. 일반적으로 신호 offset이 40%에서 60% 사이로 연동상태가 불량할수록 하류부 교차로에서의 접근지체가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 그 외에 변수에 대하여서도 신호 offset에 따라 다른 정도로 접근지체에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재 우리나라의 신도시 개발 시 일반적으로 나타나는 대규모 구획(super block)과 이로 인하여 불가피한 단일로 중간부의 횡단신호의 설치는 교통운영 측면에서 재고되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Located in the middle of lanes, the station of a median exclusive bus lane generates pedestrian groups on the green light of a crosswalk and causes pedestrians delays passing the access section. For the purpose of showing these facts, the pedestrian analysis, on which the queuing theory is applied, is presented in this study. The Result is that the pedestrian environment was deteriorated (LOS D) compared to an exciting pedestrian analysis based on 15 minutes of pedestrian volume (LOS A). A pedestrian level of service has been reevaluated based on an arrival rate on the median bus station in order to examine whether the result reflects reality or not. In result, it was similar outcomes to this study.

A signal plan focused on vehicle traffic could easily overlook vulnerable priority signals, although the importance of vulnerable movements is increasingly recognized in recent years. Especially, the vulnerable are sometimes faced with dangerous situations when crossing roads with a signal plan based on design values of average, non-vulnerable persons. This study is focused on how to minimize the vehicle delay while simultaneously considering traffic flow and providing traffic safety by increasing road crossing time for pedestrians. For this purpose, a priority signal control strategy for the vulnerable, considering vehicle traffic flow, has been tested. Practical implication and a microscopic computer simulation has shown that the proposed method could provide a small decrease (about 6.2%) in pedestrian delay, a small increase (about 8.5~13.3%) in travel speed of passing traffic, and a considerable decrease (16.2~26.9%) in vehicle travel time. These findings suggest that the proposed signal control strategy could increase pedestrian safety and diminish delay of vehicle travel.

The prevention of pedestrian accidents in crosswalks and intersections is very important. The C-ITS services provide a warning service for preventing accidents between cars and pedestrians. In the current pedestrian collision prevention warning service according to the C-ITS standard, however, it is difficult to provide real-time service because it detects pedestrians from a video-analysis server in the control center and sends service messages through the ITS system. This paper proposes a pedestrian collision-prevention warning system that detects pedestrians in the local field using an edge camera and sends a warning message directly to the driver through a roadside unit. An evaluation showed that the proposed system could deliver the pedestrian collision prevention-warning message to the driver satisfying the delay time within the 300 ms required by the C-ITS standard, even in the worst case.

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. According to one analysis of traffic accidents over a five year period, pedestrians accounted for about 40% of all road traffic deaths in South Korea. Although some policy and engineering approaches have been taken to reduce and prevent traffic accidents, the annual accident change rate is -0.7%, which is insufficient. This study verifies the effectiveness of presenting visual messages to pedestrians and the effect from adding auditory messages to the visual messages. The experiment was conducted on crosswalks adjacent to an intersection, and safety behaviors were recorded for a total of 898 pedestrians and considered sufficient. As a result of the study, overall pedestrian safety behavior improved when both visual and auditory messages were presented, rather than just visual messages. Therefore, the results indicate it is more effective to provide a mixed visual/auditory form of messages, rather than providing single stimulus messages.

This study investigated basic data on walking characteristics, including walking speed and cognitive-response for the elderly, and based on these, the time of walking signal was calculated. The on-site survey examined the actual pedestrian crossing speed using a stopwatch, and the age was divided into groups of ordinary people and the elderly. Analysis of the data showed that the average walking speed for the general public was 1.29 m/s, while the average walking speed for the elderly was 1.13 m/s, higher than that of the general public. In addition, the lower speed of the 15th percentile was analyzed to 1.01 m/s for the general population and 0.85 m/s for the elderly, showing a lower walking speed than the standard for the general area and 0.8 m/s for the protected area. However, for senior citizens who use walking sticks or wheelchairs, the speed of the lower 15th-percentile is 0.73 m/s, which is lower than the current standard of protected areas, according to the analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to improve the existing phase split algorithm considering the minimum green time in COSMOS. In the case of a signalized intersection where two wide and narrow streets intersect each other, the time required for the pedestrian crossing is frequently longer than the time alloted to the through traffic on a minor street. In order to meet the minimum green time requirement for the pedestrian less time in alloted automatically to the left-turn traffic, creating heavy congestion on the left-turn approach. To solve this problem, this study suggests a new algorithm which shares the barrier using minimum green time and shares the burden with signal phases alloted to the crossing street traffic on the basis of the equal ratio of the degree of saturation, while maintaining the minimum green time requirement. The new algorithm was compared with the existing algorithm by using a microscopic simulation model for COSMOS evaluation developed at Ajou University. The simulation results show that the new algorithm produces better performance than the existing one.

As pedestrian deaths account for a high proportion of traffic accident deaths in Korea, interest in pedestrian safety is growing. In particular, it is necessary to develop various pedestrian-centered traffic signal operation techniques to improve the pedestrian environment at signal intersections. Therefore, in this study, a method for time-of-day operating a pedestrian signal based on residual pedestrians was studied. To this end, the pedestrian signal operation technique in response to the pedestrian demand, which is operated by extending the pedestrian signal time only during the time when the pedestrian demand and the number of remaining pedestrians increase, was applied to the field. The difference in safety according to the application of the new pedestrian signal operation technique was statistically analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the residual pedestrian rate decreased by 20% (3.3 people) before application and 8% (1.4 people) after application, and the residual pedestrian rate in the crosswalk at the time of red signal decreased by 12% (1.9 people), And it was analyzed that the position of the residual pedestrian decreased by 3.3m from 5.2m before application to 1.9m after application.
