  • The application of PPLT is difficult to analyze and judge only from the effects of the delay time. In this study, the application of PPLT was proposed using not only the delay time of PLT and PPLT due to the change in traffic volume and the number of opposite straight lanes but also the traffic volume of passing a left turn and the number of conflict risks as indicators. According to the analysis, the more left-turn traffic than capacity and the less opposite-straight volume, the greater the PPLT effect. On the other hand, if the left-turn traffic is below capacity, the delay time will be reduced partially, but the overall passing left turn volume will not increase, and the conflict risk will increase. In addition, the conflict risk increases in the third lane or higher. Moreover, the difference of passing left-turn volume between PLT and PPLT showed a pattern similar to the delay time difference, and the PPLT coverage was wider than the difference in delay time and was associated more with the conflict risk numbers. Therefore, it would be reasonable to use passing left-turn traffic primarily, consider the delay time below the left-turn capacity, and consider the conflicting risk numbers simultaneously at or above the opposite straight three lanes.

  • Since 2009 The Korean National Police Agency has been pushed "permissive left-turn" forward in order to making progress in Korean traffic operations system. Preceding researches manuals and guidelines present 6 standards(# of accidents # of lanes, pedestrian volume sight # of permissive left-turn lanes vehicle volume) as installation permissive left-turn. But in practical affairs it is most important that secure enough Gap-time between permissive left-turn vehicle and opposite through lane vehicle to make permissive left-turn vehicle move safer and more efficiently. This study suggests applying gap acceptance theory in microscopic model to permissive left-turn installation standards. Analysis methods of this study are field data survey statistical analysis and microscopic simulation analysis. This study collected field data by using AVI recording and measured permissive left-turn vehicle intersection passing time(T1) and against the opposite through lane vehicle Gap-time(T2). And statistical analysis performed about two values that measured before to predict the functionality between T1 and T2. These studies to overcome the limit of sample size carried out a microscopic simulation(VISSIM) plan and collect more samples to input statistical analysis.

  • For the purpose of the research, it is analyze the influence traffic Signal Progression on a CBD by expansion of Permissive Left-Turn on the advanced traffic management system program compared with traffic response control For this, divided a average distance between intersections, a traffic network on five district in four city. As the result, Volume of the traffic management system on a advanced traffic management system program compared with traffic response control is effective in traffic signal cycle 160sec 286car per lane, in 140sec 308car, 120sec 264car. As well, for a traffic network as the length of a traffic network 2.0~3.0km, under 2.0km, all of traffic signal cycle(160sec, 140sec, 120sec) a passing band and stop is more effective. But the traffic management system on traffic response control compared with the traffic management system on a advanced traffic management system program is effective in the length of a traffic network over 5.0km. For the efficiency of traffic signal system manage, it should be runned the traffic management system on traffic response control in addition to the traffic management system on a advanced traffic management system program on CBD. As the result of simulation the business in chungju-si, the travel speed of the traffic management system on a advanced traffic management system program is 41.2km/h and the travel speed of traffic response control is 37.5km/h. Therefore, it should be runned per length of a traffic network the traffic management system on traffic response control in addition to the traffic management system on a advanced traffic management system program on CBD.
