본 연구는 FTMS와 TCS를 실시간으로 통신하여 톨게이트 운영에 관련된 다양한 교통정보를 제공하는 교통상황 모니터링과 미래의 교통상황을 예측하고 이를 바탕으로 톨게이트 교통상황을 예측하는 톨게이트 시뮬레이션 시스템(TGSS)을 개발하는 것이다. 교통상황 모니터링은 실시간 교통자료를 통계처리하고 분석하여 사용자에게 그래픽하게 교통정보를 제공하고 교통류의 예측은 톨게이트에 도착하는 교통류를 60분 후까지 예측하여 톨게이트 운영자에게 제공한다. 또한 톨게이트 예측시스템은 서울톨게이트에 도착하는 교통류 패턴을 이용하여 미래 톨게이트 교통상황을 시뮬레이션하고 이에 대한 톨게이트 운영 대안을 제시하는 기능을 수행한다. FTMS 및 TCS와 실시간으로 통신하기 위하여 별도의 통신프로그램을 작성하였고 통신에 의해 수집된 실시간 교통자료들은 모니터링 시스템과 연계하여 서울 톨게이트 주변구간의 교통상황과 톨게이트 운영 현황을 제공한다. 교통류 예측 시스템에 사용되는 모형은 거시적 교통류 모형인 Simple Continuum 모형과 시계열 모형을 이용하였고 이를 통해 서울 톨게이트에 도착하는 미래 교통류를 예측 할 수 있다. 톨게이트의 교통상황을 구현하기 위하여 미시적 모형인 차량추종모형과 차로변경모형을 톨게이트 예측 시스템에 반영하였고 현재의 톨부스 운영안과 사용자가 입력하는 톨부스 운영대안에 따라 시뮬레이션 함으로써 미래 톨 플라자내 교통상황을 톨게이트 운영자에게 애니메이션으로 보여줄 수 있다. 톨게이트 시뮬레이션 시스템을 이용하여 현재의 톨게이트 운영안과 최적화된 운영안을 상호 비교함으로써 톨게이트 운영자는 좀더 과학적인 톨게이트 운영을 모색할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 실용적 측면에서 볼 때, 톨게이트 시뮬레이션 시스템(TGSS)은 실시간 통신을 통한 모니터링과 교통류 예측으로 톨게이트 상황을 시뮬레이션하고 톨게이트 운영 대안을 제시·평가함으로써 서울톨게이트 운영을 효율화하고 이로 인한 고속도로 소통 증대를 도모할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Congestion on expressways is increasing in spite of continuous road construction. In enlargement of expressway capacity to lessen congestion, a long period is needed and in the case of traffic congestion, it would be impossible to avoid long periods of traffic congestion. So, it is necessary to cope with traffic congestion through continuous traffic condition monitoring, analysis of the causes of congestion and the development of alternatives before traffic conditions worsen. A congestion index that can express traffic operating conditions measurably is needed to monitor those conditions. Thus, in this research, a new congestion index, the Traffic Condition Index (TCI), is developed. TCI is able to evaluate roads that have different grades (or design speeds) and to judge traffic condition as good, fair and poor (congested). In addition, TCI has merits in that it can strengthen the function of existing Freeway Traffic Management Systems (FTMS) and can be applied to congestion management easily: TCI calculates congestion intensity and severity using data obtained from existing FTMS. In order to validate TCI, it was applied to the Kyungbu Expressway and the Seohaean Expressway. As a result, TCI shows a good performance in the aspect of applicability and ability of presentation of traffic conditions compared with travel speed and Travel Time Index (TTI).

현재 고속도로 교통관리시스템(FTMS)에 사용되고 있는 차량 검지기는 주로 루프 식 검지기가 이용되고 있으나, 유지관리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제 점을 갖고 있는 루프 검지기를 대체하기 위한 대체 검지기를 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 자기 검지기 신뢰도 평가는 현장 실험으로 이루어지며 비디오 촬영 및 루프 검지기, test car를 이용하여 교통량·속도·점유율의 기준자료를 마련하고 자기 검지기 자료와 비교·분석 및 통계적 검정을 실시하였다. 1차 실험과 2차 실험의 결과, 교통량과 속도는 실측자료와 유사했으나 점유율은 실측치와 다소 차이가 발생함을 보였다. 향후 점유율에 대한 보정이 이루어진다면 현재 사용중인 루프 검지기를 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Congestion and traffic accidents occur on the merge and diverge sections in the interchange of the freeway. Studies have been conducted to reduce the traffic delay and accidents on the merge section in the freeway since 1960s. but a study was not conducted to estimate the speed variation on the merge section construct models estimated for the speed variation and suggest the appropriate measures. The purpose of this study was to identify the traffic flow characteristics on the merge section in the freeway construct the models estimated for the speed variation on the merge section in the freeway and finally establish the appropriate measure for reduction of traffic delay and accidents on the merge section in the freeway. The following results were obtained: I) Speed variations in the urban freeway appeared to be about 3.2mph, 6.5mph and 7.4mph based on the morning peak period, afternoon peak period and 24-hours period but those in the suburban freeway appeared to be about 8.0mph, 11.1mph and 10.1mph based on the same periods respectively. So different speed reduction signs need be installed to reduce delay and accidents on the merge section in the freeway based on the areas and periods as the freeway traffic management system(FTMS). ii) These models estimated for speed variation need to be studied with the changeable message sign(CMS) technique based on the real-time data so that the traffic flow could be maximized and the traffic delay and accidents be on the merge section in the freeway as more efficient freeway traffic management system(FTMS) in the near future.

It is very important to analyze the capacity of basic freeway section in terms of planning, design, and operation of roads. Capacity, in Korean Highway Capacity Manual was Published in 1992, had been determined by data collected in only 4-lane freeway. But, Korea is continuously planning and constructing multi-lane roads for increasing traffic demand. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the capacity for multi-lane freeways. This study goals are two-fold the determination of lane capacity for 8-lane freeway; and the development of methodology determining total capacity using lane friction factor This study utilized the data collected by loop detectors at a station of FTMS in Kyungbu expressway. For determining capacities, this study analyzed maximum flow rate in various aspects such as collecting period, each lane, and total lane in one-way. In addition, this study evaluated the breakdown in traffic flow relations in order to find out interrelation of breakdown among lanes. Through this analysis, this study determined lane friction factors, critical speed, and critical density. Finally, this study expressed a new methodology of capacity analysis for multi-lane freeways using some findings from this analysis.

This Paper Presents a novel incident detection method for using the speed-density difference between detectors. When a incident is happened the downstream traffic condition is mostly lower speed and higher density and the upstream is higher speed and lower density In respect of such characteristics, we can suggest a method for detecting an incident based on the speed-density information provided from detectors. The incident detection method is tested by using the accident data collected from the Cheonan-Nonsan Highway. The results show that suck an incident detection method can analyze the position of accident by comparing the speed-density difference between detectors. The work described in this paper is only at on early stage, in the sense that there are several areas to be further investigated in application of this method. such as setting a critical value for judging the incident. a level of accident wave, a varying Pattern between the incident locations and detectors, etc.

More practical outputs and insights can be obtained through transportation analysis considering the time-dependent traffic movements. This study proposes a method of constructing time-dependent O-D trip tables for expressway corridor using real-world individual trip data. In this study, time-dependent O-D trip tables for the nationwide highway network are constructed based on toll collection system data. The proposed methodology is to convert nationwide time-dependent O-D trip tables into Korean expressway corridor O-D trip tables in order to deal with the computational complexity arising from simulating a large-scale traffic network. The experiment results suggest that actual individual trip record data can be used to effectively construct time-dependent O-D trip tables. They also imply that the construction of time-dependent O-D trip tables for the national highway networks along with those for Korean expressway developed in this study would make transportation analysis more practical and applicable to real-time traffic operation and control.

Everyday congestion length (distance) and duration (time) data are collected and recorded in Expressway Traffic Information Center. These records are based on the information that the operators watch CCTV and decide traffic condition in order to present information about congestion on VMS. Using VMS message has some merits like that it doesn't need a great lot of cost to construct hardware such like FTMS because operators can check traffic condition by watching CCTV only. Of cause in the aspect of accuracy, using VMS message has the limitation that it is based on subject decision compared with FTMS. However, it can be said that the value of using VMS message is very large. The object of this study is to use the VMS information record (log file) usefully to provide information of traffic condition on expressway for users (drivers) without keeping the VMS information record in dead storage. To do so, in this research, congestion calculation method able to understand traffic congestion condition on expressway was developed.
