ABSTRACT PURPOSES: It is desirable for buses to be parallel to the face of the bus shelter at a bus stop. In this way, passengers can safely use the buses without moving into the vehicle area. The study was a review of the current bus bay geometric guidelines, to determine whether they lead buses to stop parallel to the face of the bus shelter by analyzing vehicle trajectory. METHODS : A commercial software program for vehicle trajectory analysis was used under our assumptions about bus dimensions and geometric values. The final position of the bus was analyzed for multiple trajectory simulations, reflecting various geometric alternatives. RESULTS: Within the scope of the study, we concluded that the current design guidelines need to be revised by the design values suggested by the study. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the study suggested alternative design values for bus bay geometry, based on the assumption that buses should be parallel to the face of the bus shelter in order to prevent passengers from moving into the vehicle area.

PURPOSES : The lack of details of design guideline for zig-zag shaped section approaching central bus stop leads an traffic accident proneness. So, this study analysed the geometric elements of central bus stop area in terms of vehicle dynamics and suggested design alternatives. METHODS: The study analysed a dynamic behaviour of bus moving in and out of zig-zag shaped section using Auto-Turn under scenarios. Based upon dynamic analysis, the study found out the width of overtaking lane is the most influential factor for a safe moving at zig-zag alignment. RESULTS : The width of overtaking lane at design speed of 40, 50, and 60 km/h respectively was suggested given taper ratio of 1 to 10 required for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), and the lane width is not wider than 4.0m which possibly makes two vehicles using the same lane. Also, the width of overtaking lane which mitigates the taper ratio was suggested with the same restriction about the maximum lane width. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study can be used to prepare a design guideline on zig-zag shaped alignment of central bus exclusive lanes. The more stable moving is expected by applying the design alternatives suggested, therefore the lower rate of traffic crashes at the vicinity of central bus stops.

PURPOSES : The lack of details of guidelines on how to install the Chicane for traffic calming leads the practical difference across the calming areas, so the benefits expected from these facilities are not hardly observed. In this context, this study analysed the relationship between the geometric design alternatives of Chicane with the dynamic behaviour of vehicles in terms of speed and trajectory. METHODS : The study analysed vehicle dynamic behaviour using dynamic analysis program Auto-Turn under various geometric conditions of Chicane. RESULTS : This study suggested the design alternatives of Chicane using terms such as "longitudinal displacement value", "lateral displacement value", etc. which are defined in the study. The suggested combination set is fulfilling the desired or target speed of vehicles and clearance between vehicle and roadside at the same time. CONCLUSIONS : The results from this study can be applied to install Chicane corresponding to the local condition where target speed is 30km/h. The study showed the design alternatives of chicane corresponding to the given road cross-sectional design and clearance to roadside for passenger cars and light truck respectively.

최근 교통감시시스템은 실시간의 영상검지시스템(VIPS)을 가장 선호하고 있으며, 그 수요는 매년 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 일반적으로 영상검지시스템은 공간기반의 검지알고리즘을 사용하고 있으며, 교통량, 속도, 점유율 등의 교통정보를 제공하고 있다. 현재 전 세계적으로 이미 상용화되어 있는 대부분의 영상검지시스템들은 Tripwire기반의 검지영역 내 차량의 존재유무를 판단하여 교통정보를 수집하는 알고리즘으로 구성되어 있으나, 개별차량에 대한 걸지는 불가능한 한계를 갖고 있다. 반면 개벽차량의 추적시스템은 보다 구체적인 공간적 교통정보를 제공할 수 있어 사고검지, 급차선 변경 등 교통정보를 보다 다양화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 추적길이가 불과 100미터이내이면, 그 이상 관측하기 위해서는 운영자가 카메라를 줌인을 하여 영상을 확대하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량 추적의 효과를 높이기 위해서 기존의 100미터 이내 추적거리를 여러 대의 CCTV시스템을 이용하더라도 200미터이상으로 확대함으로써 사고 또는 비정상적 차량흐름을 검지할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
