Abstract

Lane Designation is defined as reasonable road management to ensure the road safety and enhance road efficiency. While the lane designation system was abolished in 1999, it was redefined because of the increasing number of large vehicles in the passing lane, violent on driving and traffic accidents in 2000. The needs of improvement on operating the lane designation has been increasing more in recent due to the low ratio of compliance with the system and difficulties to keep the right lane due to need of turning and demand of widening of designates lane for two-wheeled vehicles and truck. In this study, we presented the improvement plan through the question survey, simulation analysis, safety evaluation. It found a problem that the low-speed vehicle is to use the upper level roadway, difficulties of supervision, the imbalance in the lane use, imbalance traffic and does not match the international standards. This study suggested five different alternatives through the survey. micro simulation has used in order to examine each alternative by management effectiveness and feasibility. It analyzed the traffic speed, efficiency, traffic balance of alternatives. Also, safety evaluation conducted in terms of the range of field-of-view to ensure the easiness of field of view by various configurational difference between the vehicles. By the analysis results of such indicators, This study presents proposals for improvement in operating designated lane that low-speed-big-sized vehicles keep to the right lane, and high-speed-small sized vehicles keep to the left lane.

지정차로제란 차량특성에 따라 차로별 통행 가능한 차종을 지정한 제도로서, 도로이용 효율성 증대 및 교통안전을 위해 시행된 제도이다. 1999년 폐지되었지만, 2000년 대형차의 1차로 주행, 난폭운전 및 교통사고 증가의 이유로 재규정 되었다. 2010년 일부 개선되었지만, 지나친 세분화에 따른 인식률 저조와 차량회전이 빈번한 일반도로에서의 준수 어려움, 이륜차 및 화물차의 주행차로 확대 요청 등 개선 필요성이 증대된 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 설문조사, 시뮬레이션 및 안전도 평가 등을 통하여 차종별 특성을 고려한 지정차로제 개선방안을 제시하였다. 차종 명시로 저속차량의 상위차로 이용과 단속의 어려움, 교통량 및 차로이용 불균형, 국제 표준과의 미 부합 등의 문제점에 대하여 설문조사를 통해 5개 대안을 제시하였다. 각 대안별 운영효과와 실현성을 검토하기 위해 미시적 시뮬레이션을 이용한 통행속도, 효율성 등을 분석하였고, 시야범위 측면 안전도 평가를 시행하여 차량 간 제원차이에 의한 시야확보 용이성을 검토하였다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 고속 소형 차량은 좌측, 저속 대형 차량은 우측차로로 통행하는 포괄적인 차로지정을 본 논문에서 제시하였다.
