Abstract

This research suggested a real-time traffic signal control algorithm using individual vehicle travel times on an isolated signal intersection. To collect IDs and passing times from individual vehicles, space-based surveillance systems such as DSRC were adopted. This research developed models to estimate arrival flow rates, delays, and the change rate in delay, by using individual vehicle's travel time data. This real-time signal control algorithm could determine optimal traffic signal timings that minimize intersection delay, based on a linear programming. A micro simulation analysis using CORSIM and RUN TIME EXTENSION verified saturated intersection conditions, and determined the optimal traffic signal timings that minimize intersection delay. In addition, the performance of algorithm varying according to market penetration was examined. In spite of limited results from a specific scenario, this algorithm turned out to be effective as long as the probe rate exceeds 40 percent. Recently, space-based traffic surveillance systems are being installed by various projects, such as Hi-pass, Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) and Urban Transportation Information System (UTIS) in Korea. This research has an important significance in that the propose algorithm is a new methodology that accepts the space-based traffic surveillance system in real-time signal operations.

본 연구에서는 개별차량의 구간통행시간 정보를 이용한 독립교차로의 실시간 신호제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. DSRC와 같이 개별차량의 ID와 검지시각 정보를 수집할 수 있는 검지체계를 적용하였으며, 개별차량의 통행시간 정보로 부터 도착교통류율, 지체, 적색시간 변화에 따른 지체 변화량을 산정하기 위한 모형을 정립하였다. 통행시간기반 신호제어 알고리즘은 교차로 지체를 최소화 시키기 위한 현시별 적색시간 변화량을 결정하며, 선형계획모형을 적용하여 신호시간의 최적화 과정을 수행한다. 알고리즘의 효과평가를 위해 CORSIM과 RUN TIME EXTENSION을 적용한 미시적 시뮬레이션 분석을 시행하였으며, 이동류의 포화상태를 확인하여 지체 최소화를 위한 신호시간이 산정됨을 확인하였다. 또한 Probe 차량의 비율에 따라 이동류의 지체추정 성능을 확인하였으며, 특정 시나리오에 한정된 결과이나 40% 이상 Probe 차량 비율이 확보되는 경우 효과적 신호제어가 가능함을 확인하였다. 최근 국내 교통관리분야에서는 하이패스, 첨단교통관리시스템(ATMS), 광역교통정보사업(UTIS) 등 개별차량의 구간정보를 수집할 수 있는 검지체계가 급격히 확산되고 있으며, 본 연구는 실시간 신호운영 분야에서 검지체계의 변화를 수용하기 위한 방안으로서 새로운 형태의 신호제어 방법론을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있겠다.
