An earlier study of the effect of rain found that the capacity of freeway systems was reduced, but did not address the effects of rain on the nature of traffic flows. Indeed, the substantial variation due to the intensity of adverse weather conditions is entirely rational so that its effects must be considered in freeway facility design. However, all of the data in Highway Capacity Manual(HCM) have come from ideal conditions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of rain on urban freeway traffic flows in Seoul. To do so, the relations between three key traffic variables(flow rates, speed, occupancy), their threshold values between congested and uncontested traffic flow regimes, and speed distribution were investigated. The traffic data from Olympic Expressway in Seoul were obtained from Imagine Detection System (Autoscope) with 30 seconds and 1 minute time periods. The slope of the regression line relating flow to occupancy in the uncongested regime decreases when it is raining. In essence, this result indicates that the average service flow rate (it may be interpreted as a capacity of freeway) is reduced as weather conditions deteriorate. The reduction is in the range between 10 and 20%, which agrees with the range proposed by 1994 US HCM. It is noteworthy that the service flow rates of inner lanes are relatively higher than those of other lanes. The average speed is also reduced in rainy day, but the flow-speed relationship and the threshold values of speed and occupancy (these are called critical speed and critical occupancy) are not very sensitive to the weather conditions.

The study suggested a method to improve analysis accuracy such that the interactive effects of transportation changes between outside and inside of sub-areas were sequentially considered in the analysis by linking a macroscopic network analysis and a microscopic traffic simulation. A dynamic O/D estimation method was developed for practical implement of sub-area microscopic simulation analysis by using the results of macroscopic network analysis, the results of selected link analysis at the cordon line of the sub-area, departure time data of household travel survey, timely observed traffic volume data at the cordon. This estimated dynamic O/D for the sub-area made it possible to analyze traffic phenomena in details. Various detailed phenomena such as traffic queues, delay at intersection, and conflicts between vehicles, which is impossible to be grasped through a macroscopic analysis, can be analyzed with the dynamic microscopic traffic analysis. Through implementing an empirical study and validation, the study provided a reference result about accuracy of a microscopic traffic simulation of a sub-area to help its application for real transportation policy analysis.

An optimal network design method using continuous form of design variables is considered. Modified Hooke-and-Jeeves algorithm has been implemented in order to solve nonlinear progamming problem which is approximately equivalent to the real network design problem (NDP) with system. efficiency criteria(i. e. travel time and costs) and construction cost as objective function. Various forms of construction cost function, locations of initial solution, and dimension of initial step size of link improvement are taken into account to show the validity of this approach. The results obtained are quite promising in terms of the numbers of evaluations in solving NDP, and the speed of convergence. Finally, some techniques in choosing efficient intial solution, initial step size and approximation are given.

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.

This study proposes a concept of Stepwise Transfer Coefficient(STC) which implies greater transfer cost with increasing the number of transfers. Thus, the public transport information system provides the choice sets of travel routes by the consideration of not only transportation time but also the optimum number of transfers. However, path choice problems that involve STC are found to include non additive cost, which requires additional route enumeration works. Discussions on route enumeration in actual transportation networks is very complicated, thereby warranting a theoretical examination of route search considering STC. From these points of view, this study results in a probability based transit trip assignment model including STC. This research also uses incoming link based entire route deletion method. The entire route deletion method proposed herein simplifies construction of an aggregation of possible routes by theoretically supporting the process of enumeration of the different routes from origin to destination. Conclusively, the STC reflected route based logit model is proposed as a public transportation transit trip assignment model.

It is necessary to determine real path for urban railway users in order to allocate revenues between urban railway organizations. Out of several algorithms used to determine optimal routes, the k-path algorithm based on link-label has been utilized. However, this k-path algorithm has certain flaws. For example, optimal route can change depending on the travel and walking time, transfer penalty, and so on. Also, this algorithm cannot take into account the characteristics of users, who prefer express train to normal trains. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to determine one single optimal route based on the traffic card data. This method also can search for an optimal path in conjunction with the railway timetable.

Due to COVID-19, people are building new lifestyles such as online shopping, online travel, and video conferencing by limiting going out and gatherings. Such rapid social change is causing new problems and deepening existing problems at the same time. In particular, as online consumption increases significantly, traffic congestion, air pollution, and the heavy workload of delivery drivers are deepening in the daily logistics industry, and face-to-face delivery is emerging as a new problem. With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, unmanned delivery using drones, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving is emerging as an alternative to the existing logistics industry. However, space for logistics facilities and securing additional logistics sites due to drone flight are emerging as new problems to be solved. Therefore, it is intended to link additional services such as logistics movement, storage, and delivery by utilizing the existing transportation business, the subway, as a space for a logistics facility for drones that can solve existing problems and new problems.

Recognition for the importance and roles of public transportation is increasing because of traffic problems in many cities. In spite of this paradigm change, previous researches related with public transportation trip assignment have limits in some aspects. Especially, in case of multimodal public transportation networks, many characters should be considered such as transfers. operational time schedules, waiting time and travel cost. After metropolitan integrated transfer discount system was carried out, transfer trips are increasing among traffic modes and this takes the variation of users' route choices. Moreover, the advent of high-technology public transportation card called smart card, public transportation users' travel information can be recorded automatically and this gives many researchers new analytical methodology for multimodal public transportation networks. In this paper, it is suggested that the methodology for establishment of brand new multimodal public transportation networks based on computer programming methods using transportation card data. First, we propose the building method of integrated transportation networks based on bus and urban railroad stations in order to make full use of travel information from transportation card data. Second, it is offered how to connect the broken transfer links by computer-based programming techniques. This is very helpful to solve the transfer problems that existing transportation networks have. Lastly, we give the methodology for users' paths finding and network establishment among multi-modes in multimodal public transportation networks. By using proposed methodology in this research, it becomes easy to build multimodal public transportation networks with existing bus and urban railroad station coordinates. Also, without extra works including transfer links connection, it is possible to make large-scaled multimodal public transportation networks. In the end, this study can contribute to solve users' paths finding problem among multi-modes which is regarded as an unsolved issue in existing transportation networks.

As a part of realization of artificial intelligence signal(AI Signal), this study proposed an actuated signal algorithm based on vehicle queue length that estimates in real time by deep learning. In order to implement the algorithm, we built an API(COM Interface) to control the micro traffic simulator Vissim in the tensorflow that implements the deep learning model. In Vissim, when the link travel time and the traffic volume collected by signal cycle are transferred to the tensorflow, the vehicle queue length is estimated by the deep learning model. The signal time is calculated based on the vehicle queue length, and the simulation is performed by adjusting the signaling inside Vissim. The algorithm developed in this study is analyzed that the vehicle delay is reduced by about 5% compared to the current TOD mode. It is applied to only one intersection in the network and its effect is limited. Future study is proposed to expand the space such as corridor control or network control using this algorithm.
