  • This paper describes the use of fuzzy control and decision making to simulate the control of traffic flow at an intersection. To show the value of fuzzy logic as an alternative method for control of traffic environments. A traffic environment includes the lanes to and from an intersection, the intersection, vehicle traffic, and signal lights in the intersection. To test the fuzzy logic controller, a computer simulation was constructed to model a traffic environment. A typical cross intersection was chosen for the traffic environment, and the performance of the fuzzy logic controller was compared with the performance of two different types of conventional control. In the hardware verifications, fuzzy logic was used to control acceleration of a model train on a circular path. For the software experiment, the fuzzy logic controller proved better than conventional control methods, especially in the case of highly uneven traffic flow between different directions. On the hardware si e of the research, the fuzzy acceleration control system showed a marked improvement in smoothness of ride over crisp control.

  • With increasing the quality of life in proportion to the national income, we have had cars as more convenient and safe means of transportation for a long time. The more we have the benefits from cars, the more seriously we should consider problems such as the destruction of the environment by air pollution, traffic accidents, parking problems, traffic congestion, etc. as social cost caused by the increase of cars. Among them, the traffic accidents are very serious, especially the accidents of the business cars occurs five times more than those of the private cars. Therefore if we analyze the cases of the various kinds of syst.em, test the results and apply them to business cars, we will reduce the traffic accidents of business cars.

  • Actually, The present traffic accident detection system is subsisting limitation of accurate distinction under the crowded condition at intersection because the system defend upon mainly the image information at intersection and digital image processing techniques nearly all. To complement this insufficiency, this article aims to estimate the level of present technology and a realistic possibility by analyzing the acoustic characteristic of crash sound that we have to investigate for improvement of traffic accident detection rate at intersection. The skid sound of traffic accident is showed the special pattern at 1[kHz])${\sim}$3[kHz] bandwidth when vehicles are almost never operated in and around intersection. Also, the frequency bandwidth of vehicle crash sound is showed sound pressure difference oyer 30[dB] higher than when there is no occurrence of traffic accident below 500[Hz].

  • In this paper, we address the question of dynamic network provisioning for time-varying traffic rates, with the objective of maximizing the system throughput. We assume that the network is capable of providing bandwidth guaranteed traffic tunnels for an ingress-egress pair and present an approach that (1) updates the tunnel routes and (2) adjusts the tunnel bandwidths, in an incremental, adaptive manner, based on the variations in the incoming traffic. First, we consider a simpler scenario where tunnel routes are fixed, and present an approach for adjusting the tunnel bandwidths dynamically. We show, through simulations, that our dynamic bandwidth assignment algorithm significantly outperforms the optimal static bandwidth provisioning policy, and yields a performance close to that of the optimal dynamic bandwidth provisioning policy. We also propose an adaptive route update algorithm, which can be used in conjunction with our dynamic bandwidth assignment policy, and leads to further improvement in the overall system performance.

  • This paper is proposed a reasonable method for determining the dynamic properties, the impact factors caused by traffic loads on highway bridges. In addition, the impact factors obtained in previous inspection reports were classified by the span length of the bridge, kind of bridge and type of bridge and the result of the impact factor was adjusted by a statistical method and presented problems. Also, the method for determining the impact factor using traffic load is proposed and the proposed method is compared with the specification code. The method estimating the impact factors due to the traffic loads can efficiently recognize the response of the structure by providing the impact factors and help to save the investigation cost, and also it can be used for the maintenance of structures using the usual test of bridges.

  • This paper presents the development of a method for determining the response modification factor, using traffic load. The proposed method is based on the results of computer simulations of traffic action effects. The simulation program generates random traffic actions for defined traffic conditions and determines the frequency distribution of maximum traffic action effects. Therefore, this study is adopted to long-span bridge for the verification of the proposed method. A comparison between the proposed method and present method shows good agreement in estimating the modified load carrying capacity of bridges.

  • 도로교통 안전분야에 투자되는 예산분야는 일반적으로 교통안전시설분야(Engineering), 교통단속분야(Enforcement), 교통안전교육 및 홍보분야(Education)의 3가지로 구분하고 있으며, 이것을 3E 정책이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 항목별 투자가 도로교통사고 감소에 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는 가에 대해 패널분석을 통해 추정하고자 하였다. 종속변수는 교통사고 건수, 사망자, 부상자수로 구분하였고, 설명변수로는 기존 연구에서 주로 이용되었던 인구, 자동차등록대수, 도로연장거리에 본 연구의 주된 관심사인 교통안전시설투자예산, 교통안전교육 및 홍보예산, 단속건수를 15개 지방자치단체의 지역자료와 1992년부터 2007년까지의 연도별 자료를 사용하였다. 전체 교통사고를 종속변수로 한 분석결과 동일한 투자액에 대비하여 교통안전교육 및 홍보투자가 시설투자에 비해 효과가 큰 것으로 분석되었다, 또한 6가지 세부교통사고로 분리한 분석결과에서도 동일한 결과를 보여 현재 교통 안전시설투자 위주로 이루어지고 있는 교통안전예산을 교통안전교육 및 홍보에도 분배될 필요성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.

  • Since out of a lot of traffic problems traffic accidents cause damage to life and properties of people, it stands out as one of traffic problems which needs improvement, and the loss due to traffic accident negatively affects not only the parties to the accident but also the national economy. Thus, continual concern of the government toward traffic safety is getting bigger and lately each local government is preparing a basic plan for traffic safety and vitalizing traffic safety policies. As expanding the responsibility and role of local governments for traffic safety, traffic safety measures which are based on the characteristics of each local government should be studied. Most of analytical methods in the existing traffic accidents prediction models with macroscopic vision focus on socioeconomic variables such as local population and the number of registered vehicles, and present a great deal of prediction error when they are applied in practice. In this context, this study proposed a traffic accident prediction model in respect of macroscopic level for autonomous districts (administrative districts) of Seoul City. The model development was not based on the entire city but on the type of local land usage (development density) whose relationship with traffic accident frequency was analyzed.

  • PURPOSES : With the increasing number of older drivers in an aging society, there is a growing need for research and planning on traffic safety for the older drivers using an improved road geometry design. This study also proposed a modified urban road interchange design, which aims to keep the older drivers away from accident-prone and high-traffic areas of the city. METHODS : In this study, we examined accident data records of older drivers to identify accident-prone zones and intersections; we studied the road geometry at these zones and analyzed if it was an underlying cause for higher number of accidents. Based on the research and subsequent analysis, we suggested plans for improvement of road geometry design at these intersections. RESULTS :By studying historic data and analyzing factors that affect the likelihood of accidents of vehicles driven by older drivers and after studying suitable traffic accident prediction models, we identified the major variables that need to be modified at accident-prone intersections, such as the width of a left turn lane at an intersection and the radius of the right turn lane at a street corner. The results have a significance probability of less than 0.001 and a 95% confidence level. To improve safety at the identified intersection, this study suggests the installation of a left-turn-lane-shaped Positive Offset and a right-turn-lane-shaped Slip Lane concept and an adjustment of intervals between intersections.

  • 최근 밀도 높은 도시재생사업이 활발해지고 그에 따른 교통문제에 대한 우려가 커지면서 TOD사업이 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 TOD형 고밀개발이 교통에 미치는 영향을 추정해 봄으로써 TOD형 고밀개발의 효과와 문제점을 파악하는데 있다. 보다 구체적으로는 두 개의 역이 교차하는 교차역세권인 강남구청 역세권 주변 반경 400m 구간을 사례지역으로 선정하여 구체적인 개발시나리오를 작성한 뒤, 초고밀 주택을 건설했을 때 교통량, 승용차통행거리, 시간, 수단분담율, 주변지역 통행속도 등의 제반 교통여건이 좋다는 사실을 밝히고자 하는 것이다. 분석결과 강남구 전체에서 1개의 역세권 개발에 불과하지만 강남구 전체적으로 교통환경에 의미있는 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 역세권 고밀개발시 주변의 교통량은 증가하지만 강남구 전체적으로는 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 통행시간과 거리가 감소되어 교통환경이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이 주차장 공급이 규제될 때 개선효과는 보다 가시적인 것으로 분석되었다. 통행속도 측면에서 볼 때 두 개의 안 모두 속도가 4.1% 가량 증가되는 것으로 나타났지만 주차장공급제한으로 인한 개선효과는 가로의 속도에는 구체적으로 반영되지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같이 이유는 개선된 교통상황을 이용하기 위해 새로이 진입하게 되는 유발교통량 때문일 것으로 판단된다. 수단분담의 경우 미래의 교차역세권이기 때문에 고밀개발에 따른 승용차감축 및 지하철 수단 분담율 개선 효과는 비교적 크게 나타났다. 특히 주차장 공급관리가 시행될 때 지하철 이용비율은 2배이상 증가하는 것으로 나타나 주차장공급규제와 지하철 이용은 밀접한 연관관계에 있음을 알 수 있다.
