PURPOSES : Two-lane highways have one lane in each direction, and lane changing and passing maneuvers take place in the opposing lane depending on the availability of passing sight distance. 2001 Korea Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM) is classified into two classes of two-lane highways (Type I, II), and average travel speed and time-delayed rate are used as measures of effectiveness (MOEs). However, since existing two-lane highways have both uninterrupted and interrupted traffic flow-system elements, a variety of free-flow speeds exhibits in two-lane highways. In addition, it is necessary to check if the linear-relationship between volumes and time-delayed rate is appropriate. Then, this study is to reestablish the relationship between average travel speed, time-delayed rate, and flow. METHODS : TWOPAS model was selected to conduct this study, and the free-flow speeds of passenger cars and the percentage of following vehicles observed in two-lane highways were applied to the model as the input. The revised relationships were developed from the computer simulation. RESULTS : In the revised average travel speed vs. flow relationship, the free-flow speed of 90km/h and 70km/h were added. It shows that the relationship between time delayed-rate and flow appeared to be appropriate with the log-function form and that there was no difference in time-delayed rate between the free flow speeds. In addition to revise the relationships, the speed prediction model and the time-delayed rate prediction model were also developed. CONCLUSIONS : The revised relationships between average travel speed, time-delayed rate, and flow would be useful in estimating the Level of Service(LOS) of a two-lane highway.

신호교차로의 교통류 해석을 위해 널리 사용되는 선형모형(Vertical queueing model)은 자유속도에 따라 모든 차량이 정지선에 도착하고, 대기행렬은 정지선에서 수직으로 형성된다고 가정한다. 이러한 모형자체의 단순성 때문에 선두차량은 자유속도와 가속도에 의해 계산된 출발유효녹색시간(start of effective green time)에 정지선을 통과하게 되며, 모든 추종차량은 동일한 궤적을 갖게 된다고 가정한다. 본 연구의 목적은 Vertical queueing 모형의 단순성과 비현실성을 보완하기 위해 물리학의 Kinematic수식을 응용하여 신호교차로의 출발녹색시간(start of green time)을 함수로 한 자동차추종모형(Kinematic Car-following model at Signalized intersections: KCS traffic model)을 개발하고, 이에 따른 지체 및 지체민감도를 비교함에 있다. 출발녹색시간 변화에 따른 지체분석결과 Vertical queueing 모형에서 산출된 지체값이 KCS 교통류모형에 비해 과다하게 추정됨을 알 수 있었다. 반면, 지체민감도 분석 결과 KCS 교통류모형이 Vertical queueing 모형에 비해 민감하게 변함을 알 수 있었다.
