Abstract

Currently average daily traffic using Hi-pass has increased over 3 times that of 2008 and more than half of highway traffic now uses High-pass. At this juncture, reassessment on the overall operation of Hi-pass is required to improve the safety aspect of toll booths and the flow of traffic. Although existing Hi-pass operation manual presents the methods of alignment, they do not reflect actual forms of vehicles and do not properly take the safety of toll booth and flow of the traffic into consideration. In order to compensate these problems, this study classifies highway tollbooths into two categories of mainline type and interchange type, and establishes the standard of lane alignment by traffic conflict analysis based on the types divided according to geometric structure or environment around the tollbooths. In addition, traffic flows around the tollbooths were reflected with the stage to arrange Hi-pass lanes according to the volume of traffic on the lanes for Hi-pass.

현재 하이패스 일평균교통량은 2008년 대비 3배 이상 증가하였고, 고속도로 이용차량의 50%이상이 하이패스를 이용하고 있다. 이 시점에서 영업소의 안전 측면과 교통소통 측면을 향상시키기 위하여 전반적인 하이패스 운영에 관한 재검토가 필요하다. 기존 하이패스 운영실무 편람은 하이패스 차로배치에 대한 방법을 제시하고 있으나 실제 고속도로 영업소의 차량행태를 반영하지 못하고 있으며, 구체적인 기준이 정립되지 않아 영업소의 안전성과 교통소통을 제대로 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 이를 보완하기 위하여 고속도로 영업소를 본선형 영업소와 IC형 영업소로 구분하고, 영업소 주변 기하구조 또는 환경에 따라 유형을 나누어 상충분석함으로써 하이패스 차로배치 기준을 정립하였다. 또한 하이패스 차로별 통과교통량에 따라 하이패스 차로를 배치하는 단계를 마련하여 영업소 교통소통 측면도 반영하였다.
