Abstract

This paper aims to estimate work zone base capacity by the number of lanes for urban freeway. To do this, data were collected from the field survey and the database system maintained by traffic control center, and analyzed with four different methods such as the average maximum observation flow rate, headway, regression analysis, and parameter inspection. The work zone base capacity for urban freeway is estimated based on the average maximum observation flow rate and headway method, which are more reliable methods compared to others. The average capacity is 1,650pcphpl when the design speed is 80km/h. The capacity of four lanes one-way work zones was about 1,700pcphpl, while one of 2 lanes one-way work zones was about 1,600pcphpl. The capacity reduction rates for each are 0.15 and 0.2, respectively. The smaller the number of lane is, the more base capacity is reduced. For verification of results, we estimate the capacity by simulation analysis using PARAMICS, and compare with analytical results by a statistical method. This research can be used for efficient and systemic management of work zone in the urban freeway.

본 연구는 도시 고속도로의 편도차로수별 공사구간 기본용량 산정을 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 현장 자료 및 교통관리센터자료를 수집하고, 4가지 분석방법을 적용한다. 평균 최대 관측 교통류율 분석법과 Headway 분석법, 회귀 분석법, Parameter Inspection 분석법 중 신뢰성이 높은 평균 최대 관측 교통류율 분석법 및 Headway 분석법의 결과를 값을 기반으로 공사구간 기본용량을 산출한다. 설계속도 80km/h인 도시고속도로 공사구간 평균용량은 약 1,650pcphpl로 추정된다. 편도 4차로 공사시 용량은 약 1,700pcphpl, 편도 2차로 공사시 용량은 약 1,600pcphpl이며, 용량 감소율은 각각 0.15, 0.2이다. 편도차로수가 적을수록 용량이 더 감소하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 결과의 검증을 위하여 파라믹스 시뮬레이션 분석을 통해 편도 차로수별 용량을 산정하고, 자료분석 산출용량을 비교한다. 본 연구는 도시 고속도로의 공사구간의 효율적이고 체계적인 관리 수립에 기여할 수 있다.
