본 연구는 자율주행자동차(AV)와 비자율주행자동차(HDV)가 혼재하는 교통환경에서 자율주행 전용차로 도입 시 차로변경구간 길이가 교통소통지표에 미치는 영향을 VISSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 분석을 위하여 도로구조 및 교통량, AV All-knowing, Cautious 주행행태를 반영하여 432개 시나리오를 구성하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 차로변경구간 길이가 증가할수록 교통 밀도와 지체시간은 유의 미하게 감소하였으며, 속도 및 통과교통량이 증가하는 효과를 보였으나, 자율주행 전용차로 도입 시 밀도와 지체시간이 증가하고 속도 및 통과교통량이 감소하는 등 일부 부정적 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 실제 도로 데이터를 반영한 분석을 통해 연구 신뢰성을 제 고할 필요성이 존재한다.

PURPOSES : To operate more efficient traffic management system, it is utmost important to detect the change in congestion level on a freeway segment rapidly and reliably. This study aims to develop classification method of congestion change type. METHODS: This research proposes two classification methods to capture the change of the congestion level on freeway segments using the dedicated short range communication (DSRC) data and the vehicle detection system (VDS) data. For developing the classification methods, the decision tree models were employed in which the independent variable is the change in congestion level and the covariates are the DSRC and VDS data collected from the freeway segments in Korea. RESULTS : The comparison results show that the decision tree model with DSRC data are better than the decision tree model with VDS data. Specifically, the decision tree model using DSRC data with better fits show approximately 95% accuracies. CONCLUSIONS : It is expected that the congestion change type classified using the decision tree models could play an important role in future freeway traffic management strategy.

In this study, the intra-seasonal fluctuation (ISF) of wintertime temperature change in East Asia was classified by a cluster analysis of complete linkage. A ISF of temperature change was defined as a difference of synthesized harmonics (1 to 36 harmonic) of daily temperature averaged for 30 years (1951~1980, 1981~2010). Eight clusters were gained from the ISF curves of 96 stations in East Asia. Regions of the cluster C, G and A1 seem to be affected by the Siberian High (SH) center, whereas the cluster A1, A2, D, B and F by the SH main pathways. Regions of the cluster E are apart from the SH main pathways and appear to be in the area of influence of other factors. Wintertime temperatures in Northwest China (clusters C, G) and Northeast China (cluster A1) were increased very largely. In most clusters, around late January there were less warming periods than the winter mean of the mean ISF of the clusters, before and after this time there were more warming periods than the winter mean.
