PURPOSES : Because a driving simulator typically focuses on analyzing a driver’s driving behavior, it is difficult to analyze the effect on the overall traffic flow. In contrast, traffic simulation can analyze traffic flow, that is, the interaction between vehicles; however, it has limitations in describing a driver’s driving behavior. Therefore, a method for integrating the simulator and traffic simulation was proposed. Information that could be controlled through driving experiments was used, and only the lane-change distance was considered so that a more natural driving behavior could be described in the traffic flow. METHODS : The simulated connection method proposed in this study was implemented under the assumption of specific traffic conditions. The driver’s lane-changing behavior (lane-changing distance, deceleration, and steering wheel) due to the occurrence of road debris was collected through a driving study. The lane-change distance was input as a parameter for the traffic simulation. Driving behavior and safety were compared between the basic traffic simulation setting, in which the driver's driving behavior information was not reflected, and the situation in which the driving simulator and traffic simulation were integrated. RESULTS : The number of conflicts between the traffic simulation default settings (Case 1) and the situation in which the driving simulator and traffic simulation were integrated (Case 2) was determined and compared for each analysis. The analysis revealed that the number of conflicts varied based on the level of service and road alignment of the analysis section. In addition, a statistical analysis was performed to verify the differences between the scenarios. There was a significant difference in the number of conflicts based on the level of service and road alignment. When analyzing a traffic simulation, it is necessary to replicate the driving behavior of the actual driver. CONCLUSIONS : We proposed an integration plan between the driving simulator and traffic simulation. This information can be used as fundamental data for the advancement of simulation integration methods.

최근 고속도로 터널부 대형사고의 발생으로 사회적 관심이 급증하고 있다. 고속도로의 터널부는 일반부와는 다른 터널부만의 주행특성을 가지고 있으며, 이에 따라 차량 주행시 고속도로 일반부와 터널부의 속도차이가 발생하게 된다. 이와 같은 현상은 터널 구간이 운전자의 차량 간 거리 감지능력과 급격한 명암 변화에 의해 암순응과 명순응의 시간이 일반구간과 달리 길기 때문에 발생하는 운전자의 자기방어 성격이라 할 수 있다. 이처럼 고속도로 터널부의 경우 고속도로 시설 중 사고에 가장 취약한 구간이라 할 수 있으며 이러한 구간에서의 속도의 변화는 대형 사고로 이어질 가능성이 크다. 본 연구의 목적은 터널 내 설치된 VDS 데이터 자료(속도, 교통량, 점유율)를 활용하여 터널 내 사고 발생시의 기존 대처방안을 보완하고, 터널 이전 지점의 교통량, 점유율 패턴을 통해 터널 내 사고 발생 가능성을 예측하며 사전에 터널 내 소통상황을 향상시키는 방안을 제시하는것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 각 터널 내 속도패턴, 터널 이전 지점의 교통량 , 점유율 패턴 등을 분석하고, 해당 패턴에서의 사고 발생 가능성을 파악하는 등 터널 부 사고시 신속한 대처 방안 및 터널 내 소통향상 기법 등을 제시한다.

PURPOSES: This study analyzed the lane-by-lane traffic flow characteristics in Korea by using real-world data, including congestion levels, for 2-, 3-, and 4-lane freeways. METHODS : On the basis of a literature review, lane flow and speed characteristics were analyzed using flow measurements and speed ratios. In addition, the effect of congestion levels on traffic flow were visualized using rescaled cumulative plots. RESULTS: Driver behavior varied depending on the congestion level. During free-flow conditions, the lane-use ratio of individual lanes varied largely, whereas during congestion, the ratio was nearly the same for all lanes (i.e., equilibrium). During maximum-flow and congestion conditions, the median lane was used more than the shoulder lane, whereas during all other conditions, the shoulder lane had a higher lane-use ratio. In 3- or 4-lane freeways, the lane-use ratio of the median lane always exceeded 1 and was the highest during free-flow conditions. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the present analysis can be used as an index to predict congestion before a lane is overcapacitated. Moreover, the results can be applied in variable lane guidance systems, such as car navigation systems and variable message displays, to control traffic flow.

고속도로의 기하구조는 기본적으로 기본구간, 엇갈림 구간, 연결로 접속부로 구성되어 있다. 기본구간 은 엇갈림과 합류 및 분류 차량의 영향을 받지 않는 구간이며, 엇갈림구간은 두 교통류가 맞물려 동일 방향으로 상당히 긴 도로를 따라가면서 서로 다른 방향으로 엇갈리는 구간이다. 마지막으로, 연결로 접속부는 고속도로 본선에 접속되는 구간이다. 엇갈림 구간과 연결로 접속부 구간에서는 합류 또는 분류 차량으로 인하여 교통흐름이 방해를 받게 된다. 이렇듯, 도로의 기하 구조적 형태에 따라 차로 변경 및 합류되는 차량으로 인해 주행하는 차량들의 교통류 상태는 큰 차이를 보일 것이다. 하지만, 현재까지, 고속도로 구간에 대해 시뮬레이션 분석을 수행한 경우 도로의 구조적 형태에 따라 교통류 모형을 달리 적용하여 분석한 경우는 아직까지 보고되지 않았고, 그로 인하여 정확한 분석이 이루어지지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계를 보완하기 위하여 FHWA에서 개발된 동적시뮬레이션 모형인 DSP(Dynasmart-P)를 이용하였고, 실제로 고속도로의 구간 유형을 분류하여, 해당 지점의 검지기에서 교통량자료를 수집하였다. 수 집된 교통량 자료를 바탕으로 구간별로 교통류 모형(Greenshiel model)을 정산하여 특성을 비교·분석하 였다. 마지막으로 정산된 교통류 모형을 실제로 네트워크에 적용하여, 실제 교통류 상태에서의 시뮬레이션 결과와 관측된 구간의 통행특성과의 비교, 검증을 실시하여 전국 단위의 고속도로망 분석에 대한 적용성에 대하여 검토하였다.

연속류도로 합류영향구간에서는 본선과 다른 교통특성을 가진 연결로교통류의 합류로 차로변경 및 가감속과 같은 차량간의 불규칙한 상호작용이 발생하여 교통류의 난류현상을 야기한다. 따라서, 난류현상은 운행상태를 고려하여 연속된 지점간의 불안정한 교통특성으로 판단하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 합류영향구간에 차로-지점별 검지기를 설치하여 시공간적으로 연속된 교통자료를 구축하였으며, 지점간에 유의한 속도변화를 판단하는 기준으로 최소유의차(LSD) 통계값을 산정하여 난류현상을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 합류영향구간 난류현상은 운행상태에 따라 발생권역 및 심각도가 변화되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 난류현상에 의한 최대 합류영향권역은 교통량이 증가하는 혼잡전 운행상태에서 보여지며, 속도변화특성에 따라 상류 100m~하류 100m의 "감속구간"과 하류 100m~하류 400m의 "감속속도유지 및 가속구간"으로 구분할 수 있었다.

Generally, the development of shipping is characterized by the amount of traffic flow (traffic volume) and seaborne cargo in the sea. Movement of ships is an essential element of constructing the traffic flow which is represented the dynamic movement of ships in the sea, but on the other band the numbers of arriving and departing the port is the basic factor consisting of the static movement of ships. The amount of cargoes by coastal vessels and ocean trade vessels have increased tremendously with the great growth of the Korean economy these days. This increase of the seaborne cargoes has made the Korean coastal traffic flow so congested that this can be a cause of large pollution as well as great marine casualities such as a loss of human lives and properties . And also the future coastal traffic is expected to increase considerably according to our economic development and high dependence upon foreign trade. Under the circumstance, to devise the safety of coastal traffic flow and to take a proper step of a efficient navigation, there is a necessity for analyzing and surveying the coastal traffic trend and the characteristics of cargo movement. In order to grasp the dynamic movement of ships in the Korean coast, O/D analysis is executed. This paper aims to secure the basic data necessary for a comprehensive plan and estimation of vessel traffic management system for the enhancement of safety, order and efficiency of vessel traffic in the Korean coast. The analyzed results of the traffic flow and seaborne cargoes of the Korean coast are summarized as follows : 1) The congestion by the vessels occurred around the ports such as-in proportion of ship's number (proportion of tonnage) -Incheon 18.5%(14.8%), Pohang 5.9% (9.9%), Samil 5.2%(8.3%), Mokpo 8.6%(0.8%), Pusan 13.5%(36.4%), Ulsan 9.1%(16.2%). 2) It is found that the area adjacent to Incheon, Pusan, Ulsan, Channel of Hanryu and South-western area are heavily congested. 3) It is confirmed thatthe area adjacent to Incheon, Pusan, Ulsan, Channel of Hanryu and South-western area are heavily congested. 3) It is confirmed that the coastal vessels are main elements constituting the coastal traffic and that there are much traffic flow among five ports as following through the precise O/D analysis of ship's coastal movement.

Of those, cargoes in and out to Japan are about 26% and to South-east Asia are about 27%. 5) The chief items of foreign cargoes are oil(38.33%), iron ore(13.98%), bituminoous coal(12.74%), grain(8.02%), lumber(6.45%) in the import cargoes and steel material(21.96%), cement(17.16%), oil(6.81%), fertilizer(3.80%) in the export cargoes. 6) The 80.5% of total export cargoes and 92.4% of total import cargoes are flowed in five main ports. 7) The chief items of coastal cargoes are oil (42.45%), cement(16.86%), steel material (6.49%), anthracite(6.31%), mineral product(4.3%), grain, and fertilizer. Almost 92.24% of total import and export oil cargoes in Korea is loaded and unloaded at the port of Samil & Ulsan.
