Abstract

This study empirically analyzes the relationships among the road and traffic experts' personal characteristics, the driving behavior and factors being expected to have an effect on the satisfaction about roundabout operation. The factors are drawn and grouped through the principle component analysis to clarify driving environment satisfaction on roundabout operation. Each group is named as personal attribute, driving behavior attribute, and satisfaction. After the variables are refined by confirmatory factor analysis, satisfaction model is developed with personal attribute and driving behavior attributes as exogenous variables and roundabout driving awareness and emotion attributes as endogenous variables. As a result, driving satisfaction of roundabout operation is directly influenced by delay reduction, safety improvement, capacity increase, sight improvement, severity accident reduction, and bicycle convenience and indirectly gender, age, driving time, and driving experience. Law obeyance, driving concession, traffic sign obeyance, and interposition do not statistically shows significant on satisfaction. As a result of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the turning radius of geometry and the driving behavior are important elements for roundabout safety.

본 연구는 도로 교통전문가에 대한 개인속성 및 운전행태를 비롯한 회전교차로 주행경험에 따른 만족도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 요인들을 분석하였다. 회전교차로의 주행환경 만족도 특성을 명확하게 규명하기 위해 주성분분석을 실시하여 구성요인을 추출하고 변수들을 3개의 요인으로 그룹화하였으며, 각 그룹을 만족요인속성, 운전행태속성, 개인속성으로 명명하였다. 변수들의 신뢰성과 타당성을 검증하기 위해 확인적 요인분석을 통하여 변수정제과정을 거친 후 회전교차로 주행성 인지와 만족요인속성을 내생잠재변수로, 개인속성과 운전행태속성을 외생잠재변수로 구조화한 회전교차로 주행환경 만족도 모형을 개발하였다. 모형 추정결과, 회전교차로 주행만족도는 차량지체 감소, 교통안전성 향상, 도로용량 증대, 도시미관 개선, 교통환경 개선, 심각사고 감소, 자전거 이용 편의 등 만족요인속성에 직접적인 영향을 받으며 성별, 연령, 운전시간, 운전경력 등 개인속성에 간접적인 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 교통법규 준수, 양보운전, 교통표지 준수, 끼어들기 운전 등 운전행태속성은 주행 만족도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 끼치지 못하였다. 그리고 AHP분석결과, 회전교차로 안전성 확보를 위해서는 기하구조의 회전반경과 운전자특성의 운전습관이 가장 중요한 요소로 선정되었다.
