Abstract

Microscopic traffic simulation models, which provide individual vehicle agent’s movement, encounter several limitations in describing driving behavior for many different situations. In this study, a new behavioral model is developed as an integrative modeling framework of longitudinal and lateral movements for an individual vehicle based on Oversaturated Freeway Flow Algorithm (OFFA). The proposed algorithm also provides an improvement in stack memory use and computation in formulation. The proposed model is applied to investigate the efficiency and safety performance of freeway traffic at uphill section. Different climbing lane types are observed such as pocket type, overtaking type, and closed type. As a result, it is shown that the operation of an auxiliary lane is beneficial compared with the closed type at uphill section, when the traffic volume is less than 1300vphpl. In summary, this study provides a microscopic traffic simulation model to describe asymmetric driving behavior and its application in real traffic issues.

기존의 미시 교통 시뮬레이션 모델은 고속도로 오르막차로에서 빈번하게 발생하는 합류 행태의 주행을 묘사할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 차량의 운전 모드별로 주행행태를 연속적으로 묘사할 수 있는 기존의 OFFA (Oversaturated Freeway Flow Algorithm)을 기반으로 모델의 한계점을 개선하고 효율적으로 시뮬레이션을 수행할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하여 고속도로 오르막차로의 운영형식결정에 활용하였다. 이를 위해 오르막차로 형태를 포켓형, 추월차로형, 미운영형으로 분류하고, 형식별로 운영효율 및 안전도를 측정하여 그 성능을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 교통 수요가 증가함에 따라 추월차로형 오르막차로의 운영이 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 특정교통량을 초과하는 상황에서는 오르막차로를 폐쇄하는 것이 두 측면에서 모두 더 효과적인 것으로 나타나 이를 오르막차로의 동적운영 가이드라인으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
