PURPOSES : This study aimed to develop a new highway capacity estimation method and provide comparative results among traditional capacity estimation methods and the recommended values in the latest version of KHCM. METHODS : The limitations of the existing methods, such as inconsistency and underestimation of the capacity value, are summarized through an extensive literature review. To overcome these limitations, a new method is introduced by adopting a definition of capacity and traffic flow characteristics at or near breakdown points. This method can produce the capacity value by searching a point corresponding to the maximum traffic flow through analysis of gradient changes (point of inflection) of the traffic flow and speed distribution. Comparative results of capacity values from each method are also presented to validate the new method by using data collected from detectors on freeways. RESULTS: From the analysis results, it is shown that a consistent capacity value can be estimated by applying the new method. In addition, the resulting capacity values are 3%-4% higher than those recommended in KHCM. CONCLUSIONS : The capacity values listed in the current KHCM tend to produce underestimated results. The new method presented in this paper may be included in the future edition of KHCM.

Intersection control has dual-purposes; increasing capacity and reducing delay. The primary concern of efficient intersection control under oversaturated condition as in Korea is to increase capacity. Prevailing intersection operation technique permits thru traffic to utilize left turn lane, because the intersection without left turn pocket has left turn signal interval. In this situation, it seems not to be valid to calculate capacity, delay, and signal timings by conventional methods. By critical lane technique, capacity increases as cycle length increases. However, when thru traffic utilize LT lane, the capacity varies according to LT volume, LT interval as well as cycle length, which implies that specific cycle length and LT interval exist to maximize capacity for given LT volume. The study is designed is designed to calculate utilization factors of LT lane for thru traffic and capacities, and identify signal timings to yield maximum capacity. The experimental design involved has 3 variables; 1)LT volumes at each approach(20-300 vph), 2)cycle lengths (60-220 sec), and 3)LT intervals(2.6-42 sec) for one scenario of isolated intersection crossing two 6-lanes streets. For LT volume of 50-150 vph, capacity calculated by using the utilization factor is about 25% higher than that by critical lane method. The range of optimum cycle length to yield maximum capapcity for LT volume less than 120 vph is 140-180 sec, and increases as LT volume increases. The optimum LT interval to yield maximum capacity is longer than the intrval necessary to accommodate LT volume at saturation flow rate.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method of paramatric analysis that can be applied to an optimal solution of a maximum flow problem. We first define the transformed network corresponding to a given network. In such a network, we conduct paramatric analysis by determining changes in the optimal solution precipitated by changes in the capacity as the arc capacity varies from 0 to infinite. By this method we can easily calculate not only the characteristic region where the given optimal solution remains unchanged, but also the characteristic region where the value of the maximal flow gradually increases or decreases. The proposed method is demonstrated by numerical example.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method of postoptimality analysis that can be applied to an optimal solution of a maximum flow problem. We first use the transformed network corresponding to a given network. In such a network we conduct postoptimality analysis by determining changes in the optimal solution precipitated by changes in the capacity as the arc capacity varies from 0 to infinite. By this method we can easily calculate not only the characteristic region where the given optimal solution remains unchanged, but also the characteristic region where the value of the maximal flow gradually increases or decreases. The proposed method is demonstrated by numerical example.

PURPOSES: This study analyzes the characteristics of traffic flow on freeway sections under daytime and nighttime conditions to improve traffic safety, and suggests a method to estimate an accurate freeway capacity value that reflects these characteristics. METHODS : The trends and differences in capacity were investigated using comprehensive field data collected under both daytime and nighttime conditions on freeway sections with designated speeds of 80, 100, and 120 kph. RESULTS : The capacity values under nighttime driving conditions were reduced by 3.3%, 6.9%, and 8.8% at 80, 100, and 120 kph, respectively. Several nighttime adjustment factors were deduced for each designated speed category from the analysis results. CONCLUSIONS : It is expected that more accurate capacity values can be estimated for freeway sections under nighttime conditions by applying the resulting adjustment factors. In addition, traffic safety will be improved through the increased efficiency of traffic management on these freeway sections.

An experimental investigation was executed to determine the capacity degradation due to non-uniform refrigerant distribution in a multi-path evaporator. In addition, the possibility of recovering the capacity reduction by controlling the refrigerant distribution among refrigerant paths was assessed. The finned-tube evaporator, which had a three-path and three-depth-row, was tested by controlling inlet quality, exit pressure, and exit superheat for each refrigerant path. The capacity reduction due to superheat unbalance between each path was as much as 30%, even when the overall evaporator superheat was kept at a target value of 5.6$^{\circ}C$. It may indicate that the internal heat transfer within the evaporator assembly caused the partial capacity drop. For the evaporator having air mal-distributions, the maximum capacity reduction was found to be 8.7%. A 4.5% capacity recovery was obtained by controlling refrigerant distribution to obtain the target superheat at the outlet of each path.

도로용량편람에서 정의하고 있는 용량은 하류부에 용량을 제한하는 요소가 없다는 것을 가정한 정상교통류에 대한 용량 개념으로서, 이는 전통적으로 계획, 설계, 현재 및 장래 도로시설의 운영상태 분석 등에 사용되어 왔다. 실시간 제어는, 용량을 초과하지 않는 교통류를 유지시켜 혼잡교통류로의 전이를 막고, 물리적 여건이나 제반 확률적 요인으로 혼잡이 발생하였을 경우 조속히 용량이하로 교통량을 떨어뜨려 정상교통류로 회복시키는 데 목표를 둔다. 이러한 맥락에서 용량은 실시간 제어의 효과를 좌우하는 중요한 입력변수이며, 정상교통류 상태라면 혼잡으로 전이되지 않을 임계치로서의 용량 산정이 중요한 관건이다. 그러나 혼잡교통류 상태에서 정상교통류로 되도록 빨리 회복시켜 주기 위한 제어 기준으로서의 용량은, 하류부 혼잡의 시공간적 전개에 따라 변하는 값이어야 하며 이러한 동적 용량변화를 정확히 예측할 수 있는 방법론이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 용량 개념을 출력 개념의 용량으로 정의하고, 입력 개념의 용량을 최대가능처리량(Maximum Sustainable Throughput)으로 새롭게 정의하였다. 이 최대가능처리량은 혼잡의 시공간적 전개에 따라 결정되는 동적 용량이며, 이러한 혼잡의 시공간적 전개는 Newell의 단순화된 교통량-밀도 모형으로 예측할 것을 제안하였다.

The flow network is considered to be in a functioning state if it can transmit a maximum flow which is greater than or equal to a specified amount of flow. In this paper we consider the measures of importance of a link in the flow network. We define the structural importance and reliability importance of link when the required amount of flow is given. Also, we present the performance importance of link in a flow network. The performance importance can be used to determine which links should be improved first in order to make the greatest improvement in performance of the network. Numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

This study is aimed to analyze the effects of heat pipe shape on the heat transfer in solar collector with a axial grooved heat pipe. In the design of a heat pipe. two of the most important criteria to be met are the operating temperature range and the maximum heat transport capacity, When the operating temperature range is known and the working fluid has been selected, the maximum heat transport capacity depends strongly on capillary pressure and liquid flow. The heat transport capacity of the heat pipe will depend on the geometry of the heat pipe, the wick structure. the vapor channel shape. groove number. cooling temperature. condenser length and pipe diameter. So various shapes are used for mathematical models of two-phase flow in grooved heat pipe. From the results. the adequate groove shape and scale are presented by considering the heat transport and capillary limitation.
