자율주행차가 보급되어 도로에서 사람 운전자와 함께 운영되는 미래가 다가오고 있다. 사람 중심으로 운영되는 도로 체계가 자율주 행차와 공존하는 형태로 변화하고 있으며, 도로 시스템도 사람 운전자와 자율주행차가 혼재된 혼합교통류를 대상으로 변화하고 있다. 현재 도로에서는 예상하지 못한 상황들이 다양하게 발생한다. 교통사고, 도로 낙하물 등 교통흐름에 영향을 주는 상황들이 발생하며, 대응을 위한 전략들이 각 지방자치단체에서 준비되어 있다. 미래 교통상황에는 도로상에 자율주행차가 혼재되어 있으며 이를 포함하 는 돌발 및 재난상황에 대한 제어전략은 아직 부재하다. 본 연구에서는 돌발 및 재난상황 발생 시 자율주행차 제어전략에 대한 설계 방안을 제안한다. 돌발 및 재난상황 범위에 대해 정의하며, 상황 구분을 위한 기준을 제시하여 각 상황에서 자율주행차가 안전하게 대 응할 수 있도록 제어전략을 제시한다.

PURPOSES : This study presents a general guideline for the initial management of traffic signal timings in response to traffic incidents, prior to the implementation of specific treatments in detail. The proposed solution includes a set of optimal reductions in the green time rates at three signalized intersections upstream. METHODS : To account for the various traffic and incident conditions that may be encountered, a total of 36 traffic-condition scenarios were prepared. These scenarios encompass a wide range of conditions, from unsaturated to near-saturated conditions, and were designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of traffic conditions on signal timing. For each of the traffic conditions, all 27 traffic signal timing combinations were subjected to testing. A total of 972 simulation analyses were conducted using the SUMO model. The results indicated that the scenario with the lowest control delay was the optimal choice. RESULTS : The results indicated that the most effective initial management for the traffic incident would be to reduce the green signal timings by 20% at the first two upstream intersections and by 40% at the third intersection. CONCLUSIONS : We propose reducing the green times by 20% at the first and second intersections and by 40% at the third intersection as the initial response of the traffic signal control center when a traffic incident occurs.

The incidents related to transporting hazardous materials may cause serious impacts on neighborhood and surrounding areas. It is essential to have a real-time safe management system for incidents prevention of transporting hazardous materials. Currently, the system is not integrated into one channel, which makes it difficult to control an incidents response. Another problem is that event status is not appropriately shared among authorities having responsibilities taking down the incidents. This paper investigates previous studies covering the real-time safety management system for hazard material transports and suggests an integrated management system that helps communicate effectively and promptly.

PURPOSES : This study aims to investigate the direct and indirect influence areas from incidents on urban interrupted roadways and to develop traffic management strategies for each influence area. METHODS : Based on a literature review, various traffic management strategies for certain incidents were collected. In addition, the relationship between the measure of effectiveness and the characteristics of incidents was explored using an extensive simulation study. RESULTS : From the simulation studies, traffic delays increased as the number of lane closures increased, and the impact of lane closures was reduced to the direction upstream from the incident site. However, the magnitude of the delay change depended on the degree of saturation. Using these characteristics, the direct and indirect influence areas resulting from incidents were defined, and traffic management strategies were established for each direct and indirect influence area and for each level of incident. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study will contribute to the improvement of national traffic safety by preventing secondary incidents and by effective adaptation to incident events.
