Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to classify the traffic condition in freeway by the impacts of road weather. The factor analysis showed that weather factors, which are considered as influential, are identified as weather condition (rain or clear), temperature and sight distance with RWIS and VDS data in Seohae bridge used. The result of ANOVA shows that weather is dividedinto clear and rainy; temperature into below and equal or above $5^{\circ}C$ and sight distance into below or equal or above 10km. Based on those factors, the freeway traffic condition has been classified as five different types. The flow-speed model for each traffic conditions was proposed, which was not significant due to the lack of smaple data. Although not sufficient, the methodology to categorize traffic situation model presented in this paper may shed light on the idea for the future and can be used for proper traffic management for each weather condition.

본 연구는 다양한 기상 요인의 영향 정도에 따른 속도 변화를 분석하여 고속도로의 교통상황 분류를 목적으로 하였다. 서해대교의 RWIS와 VDS 자료를 활용하여 요인분석한 결과 교통상황에 영향을 주는 기상요인은 날씨, 온도, 시정거리로 나타났다. 각 요인에 따른 교통상황을 분류하기 위해 요인별로 분산분석을 실시한 결과 날씨는 맑음과 강우, 온도는 $5^{\circ}C$ 이하와 이상, 시정거리는 강우 시에만 10km 이하와 이상으로 분류되어 총 5개 유형의 교통상황으로 분류되었다. 보다 원활한 교통관리를 위해 각 상황별로 교통량-속도 모형을 추정하였으나 분석자료의 부족으로 설명력은 다소 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 장기간의 자료를 본 연구에서 제시된 분석과정에 입각하여 분석할 경우 기상요인에 따른 유형별 교통관리가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
