For decades, simulation technique has been well validated in areas such as computer and communication systems. Recently, the technique has been much used in the area of transportation and traffic forecasting. Several methods have been proposed for investigating complex traffic flows. However, the dynamics of vehicles and diversities of driver characteristics have never been considered sufficiently in these methods, although they are considered important factors in traffic flow analysis. In this paper, we propose a traffic simulation tool called Multi-Agent for Traffic Simulation with Vehicle Dynamics Model (MATDYMO). Road transport consultants, traffic engineers and urban traffic control center managers are expected to use MATDYMO to efficiently simulate traffic flow. MATDYMO has four sub systems: the road management system, the vehicle motion control system, the driver management system, and the integration control system. The road management system simulates traffic flow for various traffic environments (e.g., multi-lane roads, nodes, virtual lanes, and signals); the vehicle motion control system constructs the vehicle agent by using various vehicle dynamic models; the driver management system constructs the driver agent capable of having different driving styles; and lastly, the integrated control system regulates the MATDYMO as a whole and observes the agents running in the system. The vehicle motion control system and driver management system are described in the companion paper. An interrupted and uninterrupted flow model were simulated, and the simulation results were verified by comparing them with the results from a commercial software, TRANSYT-7F. The simulation result of the uninterrupted flow model showed that the driver agent displayed human-like behavior ranging from slow and careful driving to fast and aggressive driving. The simulation of the interrupted flow model was implemented as two cases. The first case analyzed traffic flow as the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the turning traffic volume changed. Second case analyzed the traffic flow as the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the road length changed. The simulation results of the interrupted flow model showed that the close relationship between traffic state change and traffic signal interval.

본 연구에서는 기존 기종점 트립 기반 교통시뮬레이션이 가지는 한계를 극복하고 대규모 지역이나 도시를 대상으로 개별 통행주체의 활동기반(activity-based) 모형의 적용가능성을 검증하기 위한 기초 연구로 단속류 가로구간을 대상으로 차량추종모형의 근간이 되는 가 감속 및 차로변경 등의 제어변수를 우리 실정에 맞게 보정(calibration)하는 방안을 제시하였다. 특히, 기존 한 cell의 크기인 7.5m보다는 1.0m가 단속류의 교통특성을 보다 잘 구현함을 확인하였으며 각 차량들에 ID를 부여하여 차량의 거동 특성을 추적하는 기법을 제시하였다. 나아가 차종을 세분화하고 대상구간의 차종비율을 적용시켜 실제 단속류에서의 차량의 주행특성을 분석하였다. 제안한 모델의 검증을 위해 대구시 수성구의 달구벌대로 일부 가로구간을 대상으로 시뮬레이션 한 결과 실제 단속류의 교통특성 구현이 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 대구광역시의 달구벌대로의 일부 단로부를 대상으로 신호교차로에서의 차두시간 특성과 교통량, 속도 및 통행시간 특성에 대한 관측 자료를 기반으로 시뮬레이션을 위한 calibration과 검증과정을 통해 TRANSIMS의 단속류에서의 적용 가능성을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히, 차두시간의 특성과 우리 실정에 맞는 파라미터의 선정 및 ID 추적 등을 통해 Calibration 과정을 거쳤으며 이렇게 수정된 파라미터를 기반으로 구현된 가로구간의 차로별 교통량, 속도 및 구간 통행시간 등의 특성은 무난하게 우리 실정에 맞게 묘사할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 셀의 크기에 따른 교통류 특성 분석에서 기존 연구의 성과를 뒷받침 할 수 있는 결과도 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 본 연구에서 대상으로 일부 구간만으로 TRANSIMS의 국내 적용가능성을 단정하기에는 무리가 있으며, 다양한 차로 특성, 신호 특성 및 연도 토지이용 특성 등을 고려한 시뮬레이션을 통해 객관적인 분석과 파라미터의 Calibration 과정 및 검증에 대한 향후 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The validity of simulation has been well-established for decades in areas such as computer and communication system. Recently, the technique has become entrenched in specific areas such as transportation and traffic forecasting. Several methods have been proposed for investigating complex traffic flows. However, the dynamics of vehicles and their driver's characteristics, even though it is known that they are important factors for any traffic flow analysis, have never been considered sufficiently. In this paper, the traffic simulation using a multi-agent approach with considering vehicle dynamics is proposed. The multi-agent system is constructed with the traffic environment and the agents of vehicle and driver. The traffic environment consists of multi-lane roads, nodes, virtual lanes, and signals. To ensure the fast calculation, the agents are performed on the based of the rules to regulate their behaviors. The communication frameworks are proposed for the agents to share the information of vehicles' velocity and position. The model of a driver agent which controls a vehicle agent is described in the companion paper. The vehicle model contains the nonlinear subcomponents of engine, torque converter, automatic transmission, and wheels. The simulation has proceeded for an interrupted and uninterrupted flow model. The result has shown that the driver agent performs human-like behavior ranging from slow and careful to fast and aggressive driving behavior, and that the change of the traffic state is closely related with the distance and the signal delay between intersections. The system developed shows the effectiveness and the practical usefulness of the traffic simulation.

In companion paper, the composition and structure of the traffic environment is derived. Rules to regulate agent behaviors and the frameworks to communicate between the agents are proposed. In this paper, the model of a driver agent which controls a vehicle agent is constructed. The driver agent is capable of having different driving styles. That is, each driver agent has individual behavior settings of the yielding index and the passing index. The yielding index can be defined as how often the agent yields in case of lane changes, and the passing index can be defined as how often the agent passes ahead. According to these indices, the agents overtake or make their lanes for other vehicles. Similarly, the vehicle agents can have various vehicle dynamic models. According to their dynamic characteristics, the vehicle agent shows its own behavior. The vehicle model of the vehicle agent contains the nonlinear subcomponents of engine, torque converter, automatic transmission, and wheels. The simulation has proceeded for an interrupted flow model. The result has shown that it is possible to express the characteristics of each vehicle and its driver in a traffic flow, and that the change of the traffic state is closely related with the distance and the signal delay between intersections. The system developed in this paper shows the effectiveness and the practical usefulness of the traffic simulation.

u-Transportation (u-T) 환경은 차세대의 ITS로 간주되는 미래형 교통서비스로서 어디에서나 적절한 교통서비스를 제공하는 신 교통공간을 의미한다. 그러한 환경의 기초연구로서 본 연구는 기존 ITS에서 교통량 산출 방법을 검토하고, u-T 자료 수집환경(u-TSN)의 자료수집형태를 시뮬레이션으로 구현하여 ITS의 교통량 산정 결과와의 차이점을 연구하였다. 그 결과, u-T에서 단속류의 교통류율이 ITS보다 3.58% 높게 나타났으며, 평가지표 MARE와 MAE 값이 각각 31.4%, 31.1% 낮게 나타나고, 평가지표 균등계수는 1.9% 높게 나타나 상대적으로 u-TSN의 교통자료 집계가 더 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 상류부 링크의 특정지점 교통량을 고려하지 못한 기존 방법론에 비해, u-T에서의 링크 특성이 잘 반영된 링크의 대표치라는데 의의 또한 있는바, 설계시간계수 등의 설계분야, 운영 분야 등에 보다 적절한 교통류율의 제공이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a scheme to provide children safer and more comfortable walking circumstances by survey current walking circumstances of school zone ways. First, to avoid pedestrian roads being interrupted and to expand waiting space near school zone ways, several measures are needed including fixing roads, using schools' unemployed spaces and building additional gateway. Second, pedestrian crossings in front of school gate should be located at least 23.16m away from the left side of the gate. Third, on narrow path which cross main streets, the interval of pedestrian signal should be extended as against of the moment. And traffic calming facilities should be built on accurate position. Fourth, to secure pedestrians' safety and field of view, trees lining streets and any obstacles located within 10m from bus stop sign should be removed. Finally, education system about school zone ways should be improved to help children get used to more complicated roads' conditions.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are becoming widely used in collecting and sensing information in different fields such as in the medical area, smart phone industry and military environment. The main concern here is reducing the power consumption because it effects in the lifetime of wireless sensor during commutation because it may be work in some environment like sensor in the battlefields where is not easy to change the battery for a node and that may decrease the efficiency of that node and that may affect the network traffic may be interrupted because one or more nodes stop working. In this paper we implement, simulate, and investigate S-MAC protocol with mobility support and show the sequence of events the sender and receiver go through. We tested some parameters and their impacts of on the performance including System throughput, number of packets successfully delivered per second, packet delay, average packet delay before successful transmission.

우리나라의 교통사고 발생현황은 2008년 기준 215,822건으로 예년에 비하여 소폭 감소하는 추세이나 주요 선진국에 비해서는 여전히 높은 수준이다. 그 중 단속류 시설에서 발생하는 사고는 보행자들이 직접적으로 차량에 노출되어 차대사람 사고의 비율이 높아 심각한 결과를 유발하기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위한 추가적인 고려가 필요하다. 이에 교통사고의 유형별로 영향을 미치는 인자를 분석하였다. 단속류 시설에서 교통사고는 크게 차대차 사고와 차대 사람 사고로 그 성격과 특성이 구분될 수 있다. 따라서 교통사고 유형을 크게 두가지로 구분하고, 2005년부터 2007년까지 서대문구에서 발생한 교통사고 자료 분석을 통해 교통사고의 심각도와 외생적 변수들간의 관계를 추정하였다. 본 연구에서는 단속류 시설에서 교통사고 유형별 요인을 구조방정식모형(SEM : Structural Equation Modeling)을 이용하여 도출해내고, 모형을 구축하여 유형별로 사고의 주요인들을 파악하여 비교하였다. 최종 모형에서 도출된 결론은 차대차 사고에서는 도로 요인이, 차대사람 사고에서는 환경 요인이 크게 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
