Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of drivers' satisfaction over protected and permissive left-turn (PPLT) traffic signal operation. A structural equation model was established for analyzing the effectiveness of various drivers' factors (e.g., personal characteristics, driving attitude, expectation to PPLT, etc.) on the PPLT preference based on questionnaire survey. As a result, the analysis is satisfied with the critical values, such as Q value, RMR, GIF, AGIF, and NFI. The study reveals that PPLT preference increases in case of driver who is male with long social carrier related to transportation affaire and long driving experience without traffic accident involvement. Moreover, PPLT preference increases as the expectation of PPLT to improvement of traffic safety, traffic operation, and traffic environment increases. Therefore, it is recommended that the PPLT should be preferentially operated in urban area of less traffic accidents and the promotion of PPLT be actively conducted for positive effectiveness.

본 연구는 운전자들의 보호/비보호 좌회전(PPLT: Protected/Permitted and Left-Turn) 신호운영에 대한 만족도에 미치는 영향요인을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 운전자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 도로이용자의 다양한 요인(개인속성, 운전태도, PPLT의 기대심리 등)이 PPLT 만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 구조방정식 모형을 구축하였다. 모형구축 결과, 모형의 적합도는 Q값, RMR, GIF, AGIF, NFI 모두 적합도기준(Critical value)에 만족되었으며, PPLT 운영에 대한 만족도는 사회경력과 운전경력이 비교적 길고 교통 관련 분야에 종사하는 남성의 선호도가 상대적으로 높고, 사고 경험이 없는 운전자인의 경우 PPLT 운영에 대한 선호도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, PPLT에 대한 만족도는 PPLT 운영으로 인한 교통안전 및 교통운영 증진, 환경개선 등의 기대가 높아질수록 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, PPLT 운영은 교통사고가 상대적으로 적게 발생되는 도심에 우선 적용하는 것이 바람직하고, PPLT의 도입효과를 높이기 위해서는 PPLT 운영에 대한 긍정적인 기대효과가 함양될 수 있도록 효과에 대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
