A Theoretical Study on Passenger Car Eguivalent Factors

승용차환산 계수에 관한 이론적 연구

Concepts of passenger car equivalent(PCE) based on various philosophies is reviewed. The headway method is redefined in two ways namely a macroscopic headway method and a microscopic headway method of which the concepts are confused in literature. As definition of the microscopic headway method is from intuitive approach so theoretical basis for this method is explained in connection with the macroscopic headway method. In addition new classification and evaluation of complicated existing theories was conducted to make the reader understand more easily.
