It is recognized that one of the problems for the current 'Traffic Adaptive Control System in Seoul' is the performance at the oversaturated condition. Instead of 'Degree of Saturation' adopted in the current system, the methodology of balancing the queue length was developed and evaluated in this study. This method keeps the balance of queue lengths on the intersections and reduces the overall queue lengths. In addition a traffic signal control model was developed based on the method. This model can reduce not only the queue lengths but also the average delay of vehicles according to the macroscopic and microscopic evaluations.

The in situ observations and the seawater analyses were conducted in July and August, 1996 for the purpose of describing the characteristics of organic pollution, dissolved oxygen distributions, and the evaluation of water quality in Mokpo harbour. The vertical density distribution of water column was found to be in stable structure with higher water temperature and lower salinity on surface layer at ebb tide in summer. In July, dissolved oxygen was shown to be oversaturated on surface and bottom layers, while in August, which was shown to be oversaturated on surface layer, and to be unsaturated on bottom layer as 68∼93% of saturation percentage. Dissolved oxygen of bottom layer in August was evaluated to be under the regular grades, based on Korean standards of seawater quality. In view of COD, the seawater quality of Mokpo harbour in summer was evaluated to be deteriorated due to organic wastes and graded to be the third class, and TSS of Mokpo harbour in summer was graded to be the second class, based on Korean standards of seawater quality. In particular, COD of surface layer in August was found to be under the regular grades. It is, therefore, necessary to take measures for the control of pollution loads and the proper management of seawater quality in Mokpo harbour. The distribution patterns of DO, COD, VSS and Chlorophyll-a on surface layer along the downstream center line from inner harbour to harbour entrance were similar to one another at ebb tide in August.

The aim of this research is to develop a signal control algorithm using internal metering to minimize total delay that vehicles go through, in case a network is oversaturated. To calculate total delay on the network, the authors first detect vehicles' arrivals and departures in the network through the detecting system, and chase the vehicles' flow in the links with a platoon dispersion model. Following these, the authors calculate the queue length in all the inks of the network through the chase of vehicles, deduce the stopped time delay, and finally convert the stopped time delay to the approach delay with a time-space diagram. Based on this calculated delay, an algorithm that calculates the level of the internal metering necessary to minimize the deduced approach delay is suggested. To verify effectiveness of this suggested algorithm, the authors also conduct simulation with the micro-simulator VISSIM. The result of the simulation shows that the average delay per vehicle is 82.3 sec/veh and this delay is lower than COSMOS (89.9sec/veh) and TOD (99.1sec/veh). It is concluded that this new signal control algorithm suggested in this paper is more effective in controlling an oversaturated network.

The purpose of this study is to develop a cycle-free signal timing model for minimizing delays based on Third-generation control concept using Genetic Algorithm. A special feature of this model is its ability to manage delays of turning movements on the cycle basis. The model produces a cycle-free based signal timing(cycles and green times) for each intersection to minimize delays of turning movements on the cycle basis. The performance of cycle-free signal timings was evaluated on normal (v/c = 0.7) and oversaturated (v/c=1.0) conditions. The performance measures are throughput and the number of queued vehicles at the end of green time. The result shows that the cycle free signal timing is superior to the fixed signal timing to manage traffic flows of intersections; (1) the proposed model accomplishes the basic objective of the research, producing cycle free signal timings on the cycle basis, (2) on normal conditions, cycle free signal timings produce less queued vehicles at the end of green time, and (3) on oversaturated conditions, the cycle free signal timing is superior to the fixed signal timing to manage saturated traffic flows of intersections.

A novel Color Image Saturation enhancement method to strengthen video images without producing oversaturated or color contour artifacts is proposed in this paper. Based on the luminance information, the relations between luminance levels and maximum chrominance vectors in each subcolor are generated for each pixel, so that the upper bound of the allowed saturation factor for a pixel can be derived, and much vivid video image can be achieved

Delay is an widely-used tool for evaluating the operation of signalized intersections. This paper presents two mathematical models: a model converting stop delay into approach delay : and a model estimating delay at isolated signalized intersection. To develop the delay-conversion model, actual stop delay and approach delay experienced by individual vehicles were measured and then their relationship was formulated using ma-thematical procedure. the formula expressing the approach-delay to stop-delay ratio was a monotonously decreasing function of effective red time. New delay model was developed based on the following criteria; the fitness to measured delay for undersaturated traffic condition and the convergence to the deterministic overflow delay for oversaturated traffic condition. Performance of this model was better than those of other existing models based on the comparison study.

일반적으로 교통수요가 용량보다 적으면 모든 교통량이 지체없이 신호교차로를 통 과 할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 비포화 상태에서는 어떻게 Delay나 Stop을 최소화시키느냐가 신호처리의 목적함수가 될 것이다. 그러나 교통수요가 용량보다 많아지면 신호교차로가 모 든 교통량을 통과시키지 못하므로 시간이 갈수록 대기 행렬이 점점 길어질 것이다. 이러한 과포화상태에서는 늘어나는 대기 행렬을 조절하지 못하면 결국에는 Spillback이 상류 교차 로로 확대되어 최악에는 교차로에서의 모든 방향의 움직임을 정지시키는 Gridlock상태로까 지 악화 될 수 있다. 따라서 과포화 상태에서는 비포화 상태와는 달리 늘어나는 대기행렬을 조절하여 통과 교통량을 최대화 시키는 것이 신호처리의 목적 함수가 될 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 과포화시의 간선도로를 신호처리에 의해 일정한 대기행렬을 유지하므로써 시 스템을 최적화 하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. IMPOST(Internal Metering Policy to Optimize Signal Timing)는 논문에서 개발한 알고리즘을 C언어로 프로그래밍한 model이다.

교통수요가 용량보다 많아지면 신호교차로가 모든 교통량을 통과시키지 못하므로 시간이 갈수록 대기 행렬이 점점 길어질 것이다. 이러한 과포화상태에서는 늘어나는 대기행렬을 조절하지 못하면 결국에는 Spillback이 상류 교차로로 확대되어 최악에는 교차로에서의 모든 방향의 움직임을 정지시키는 Gridlock상태로까지 악화될 수 있다. 따라서 과포화 상태에서는 비포화 상태와는 달리 늘어나는 대기 행렬을 조절하여 통과 교통량을 최대화 시키는 것이 신호처리의 목적 함수가 될 수 있을 것이다. 6월호의 논문에서는 Static 한 상태의 과포화 간선도로를 신호처리에 의해 일정한 대기행렬을 유지하므로써 시스템을 최적화하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 그러나 과포화 간선도로의 교통수요는 매 Cycle 마다 Dynamic 하게 변하고, 과포화의 교통상황에서는 미미한 교통 변화가 우리가 염려하는 Spillback 을 야기시킬 수 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 6월호에서 개발한 알고리즘에 기초하여 실시간으로 신호처리 하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 과포화 상태의 5개의 신호교차로를 가진 간선도로를 Simulation 하여 비교한 결과 본 논문에서 개발한 알고리즘이 PASSER II 나 TRANSYT 7F 보다 차량 한 대당 평균 운행시간이 각각 30%, 20% 줄어들었다.

다이아몬드형 인터체인지는 고속도로와 노면가로가 교차할 경우 방향별 교통류를 처리하는데 보편적으로 사용하는 인터체인지이다. 인터체인지에 교통량의 부하가 과도해지 면 인터체인지내부의 교차로에서 발생한 대기차량이 종종 고속도로본선으로 역류하여 본선 의 교통소통에 문제를 야기하며 특히 고속도로의 안전에도 큰 위험요소가 된다. 본 논문은 과포화상태의 다이아몬드형 인터체인지의 교통신호제어를 다루며, 신호시간계획을 산출하는 동적 최적화모형(dynamic optimization model)을 제시한다. 최적화 모형은 지체도최소화를 목적함수로 하며, 함수계측법의 형태가 된다. 본 모형의 핵심은 신호제어에 따라 발생하는 대기차량길이를 모형화하여 대기차량길이가 정해진 상한치를 초과하지 않도록 하는 신호시 간계획을 산출하는데 있다. 제시된 동적모형은 다이아몬드형 인터체인지의 신호시간을 위하 여 널리 사용되는 PASSER III와 최적해를 상호 비교한다. TRAF-NETSIM을 통한 시뮬레이 션의 결과에 따르면 동적 모형이 우수한 결과를 보이며, 대기차량의 길이를 효과적으로 제 어하는 것으로 판명된다.
