  • 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.

  • The Maglev travels at levitated status from the rail in some gab (about $8\sim10mm$). it make difference with the existing subway or the another LRV. The detection method of the train speed and the train position to be used at Maglev's signaling system differ with the existing subway or the another LRV's. so, the signal system construction of the new method is necessary. This paper describes the configuration and characteristic of the total signaling system (TTC/Wayside/Cab/Guide way system etc.) developed for Maglev, and the design concept of the signaling system based on the latest wireless LAN communication for driverless operation.

  • 현재 우리나라에는 최첨단의 정보통신 서비스를 제공을 목적으로 ubiquitous city(u-City)가 건설 중에 있다. 이들 도시에서 ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems)는 도시거주민들에게 적절한 교통정보를 제공하는 동시에 최적으로 도시교통을 제어하는 방안이다. ITS의 한 부분으로서 교통흐름에 적합한 교통신호제어가 필요하며 이를 위해 많은 교통정보를 실시간으로 수집하여야 한다. 이러한 교통정보의 수집은 도시운영을 위하여 최첨단 정보통신 서비스가 제공되는 u-City에서는 어렵지 않을 것이다. 이러한 미래지향적인u-City의 ITS 교통제어에 적합한 새로운 시스템에 대하여 이 논문에서는 연구하였다.

  • 교통신호제어는 교타로상에서 유입 차량들을 관제할 뿐만 아니라 교통사고를 예방 하는 역할을 하고 있다. 또한 최근에는 네트워크의 최적화 도구로도 활용되는 추세에 있다. 1950년대 후반 신호제어에 대한 Webster의 제어전략이 발표된 이후 관련 학자들에 의해 몇 개의 신호제어 전략들이 발표되었지만, 이들 전략들은 대부분 비포화시를 반영하는 전략 들이었다. 그러나 최근의 도심 가로망들은 근포화나 과포화 등 극심한 교통혼잡을 겪고 있 기 때문에 이에 부합하는 새로운 신호제어전략이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 네트워크 차원 의 신호제어전략을 수립하기 위한 첫 번째 연구로서 혼잡시를 고려한 2가지의 새로운 교통 신호제어전략을 제시하였다. 첫 번째 신호전략은 과포화시 차량들의 대기행렬을 수용할 수 있는 접근로의 수용용량을 고려한 전략이며, 두 번째 전략은 overflow에 의한 차량들의 지 체시간을 최소화시키는 전략이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 2개 신호전략과 새로운 전략들을 예제 가로망을 대상으로 서로 비교, 평가하였으며, 신호제어전략이 통행배정모형(traffic assignment)과 결합하는 경우 유일해(unique solution)가 존재하는지(monotonicity condition)도 검토하였다.

  • 현재 우리나라에서 사용되는 대부분의 교통신호 체계는 교통량의 변화와 상관없이 규칙적인 신호주기를 반복하는 방식으로 교통 패턴이 안정되어 변동량이 적은 경우에는 적합하나, 현장교통상황에 능동적으로 조정되지 못하고, 소방차나 구급차와 같이 긴급을 요하는 차량에 대한 대처가 힘들다는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 유기적인 현장교통상황에 능동적으로 대처하고, 긴급차량에 대한 합리적인 대처 방법이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 기 설치된 신호 후방 CCTV를 이용하여 지능적으로 신호체계를 제어하고, 긴급차량에 대해 신호우선권을 부여함으로써, 위급상황에 유기적으로 대처할 수 있는 지능형 교통신호 제어 시스템을 설계하였다.

  • Recently, noise has been regarded as one of the most notorious and frequent environmental pollutions which can be often encountered not only in the living space but also in the industrial site. Studies on physiological and psychological effects of long-term noise exposure to human being have commanded the public interest on noise issues. Since environmental noises such as traffic noise and construction noise is mainly flowed through the open window, it is necessary to develop the active noise control system to reduce it inside the building. Although control speakers and microphones for the noise signal measurement in the control region are essential for the conventional active noise control methods, it is impossible to implement them in the control region in the building environment because the control region is the living quarter and they may hinder activities of the residents. Therefore, we proposed the active window system to reduce the exterior noise flowed through the open window with microphones installed outside the window and control speakers installed at the frame of the window. To confirm the performance of the proposed active window, we carried out the simulation and experiment using active window system with 8 control speakers. Simulation results showed the noticeable noise reduction effect inside the control region within the frequency range without the spatial aliasing. Experimental result showed that the total acoustic potential energy inside the room of the scale model is reduced to about 10dB within the interest of frequency range.

  • The traffic management schemes through traffic signal control and information provision could be effective when the link-level data and trip-level data were used simultaneously in analysis Procedures. But, because the trip-level data. such as origin, destination and departure time, can not be obtained through the existing surveillance systems directly. It is needed to estimate it using the link-level data which can be obtained easily. Therefore the objective of this study is to develop the model to estimate O-D demand using only the link flows in highway network as a real time. The methodological approaches in this study are kalman filer, least-square method and normalized least-square method. The kalman filter is developed in the basis of the bayesian update. The normalized least-square method is developed in the basis of the least-square method and the natural constraint equation. These three models were experimented using two kinds of simulated data. The one has two abrupt changing Patterns in traffic flow rates The other is a 24 hours data that has three Peak times in a day Among these models, kalman filer has Produced more accurate and adaptive results than others. Therefore it is seemed that this model could be used in traffic demand management. control, travel time forecasting and dynamic assignment, and so forth.

  • This study has determined optimal type, and location of loop detector to measure accurately traffic condition influenced by traffic variation with real time. Optimal type of loop detector for through vehicle at stop bar was determined by confidences of occupancy period, and nonoccupancy period, and so appropriate detector type for application to real time traffic control system has been decided on special loop detector.

    shows types and winding methods of existing detector (num1) and special detector (num 7,8) determined. It is desired that optimal location of through loop detector should be installed within 50cm of stop bar owing to vehicle behavior. And optimal location of loop detector for left turn vehicle is determined by left turn vehicle behavior on stop bar. In the case of install only one loop, it is desirable that within 20cm of stop bar. Both the special loop (1.8 × 4.0m : num 1.7) and existing loop (1.8 × 1.8m : num1) would be suitable. A location standard aspects, while regarding as economic, existing loop (1.8 × 1.8m : num1) would be suitable. A location of the queue detector and the spillback prevention detector considering the link length, the pedestran crossing is be or not and the estimation range of queue. And if the link length is shorter than 250m, locations of queue detector and spillback protect detector must be considered in the respect of queue management.

  • Among the various sensors for measuring traffic, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) piezoelectric sensors are used to classify vehicles because they can detect the axle of the vehicle. Piezoelectric sensors are embedded in road pavements and are always exposed to traffic loads and environmental loads. Therefore, the life expectancy is very short, less than 6 years. Traffic control is essential for reinstallation and data collection is interrupted during the failure period. The lifespan will increase if the sensor installation depth is increased. In this study, the sensor signal output was analyzed with a variable depth of sensor installation to verify the possibility of deeper installation. Furthermore, various parameters, such as the weight and speed, were analyzed. The wheel load is applied using APT. As a result, the MSI BL sensor output signal is higher than 100mV when installed at 3cm, which is reliable. If the location of the sensor is deeper in the pavement, the expected lifetime of the sensor is also increased. On the other hand, the MSI cable was found to be less than 100mV at the shallowest depth of 1cm, making it impossible for field applications.

  • Currently, the signalized intersections in Korea are operated without providing an emergency vehicle preemption control strategy. Thus, it might threaten the safety of the pedestrians and drivers on highways when an emergency vehicle faces congested traffic conditions. The existing preemption control is activated when an emergency vehicle is detected along a path. This enables emergency vehicles to progress uninterrupted, but it also increases the delay of other vehicles. In this paper, a revised preemption control strategy considering queue length restrictions is proposed to make both a progressive movement of an emergency vehicle and reduce delay of other vehicles simultaneously. By applying the preemption control strategy through a simulation study, it was shown that delay of an emergency vehicle decreased to 44.3%-96.1% and speed increased to 8.8%-42.0% in all 9 cases as compared with a conventional signal control. The existing preemption control is superior for oversaturated conditions (v/c >1.0) or a link length less than 200m. However, the preemption control considering queue length constraints shows better performance than the existing preemption control when the v/c is less than 0.8 and a link length is longer than 500m.
