Abstract

Intersection signal's phase time is calculated and determined by car and pedestrian traffic volume. If signal phase time and traffic volume dis-matched, cars and pedestrians have much delay time. This paper suggested an All-Red phase application method that cars and pedestrians securing safety and minimizing traffic signal waiting time. The key solution of this suggested method is determining All-Red phase operation by using sum of spare green time that have no passing cars. That is, total time of spare green time that have no passing cars is longer than All-Red phase time, operating All-Red phase has an effect. And case study carried out at the signalized intersection, revealed that this suggested method has much effectiveness.

신호교차로에서는 교통량과 보행자를 고려해서 현시별 녹색시간이 결정된다. 하지만 부적절하게 설계된 신호운영체계는 차량과 보행자의 통행에 불편을 초래하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 보행자의 안전을 확보하면서 차량 통행에도 문제가 없는 전적신호의 적용방법을 제안하였다. 기본개념은 각 현시별 녹색시간중 여유녹색시간을 전부 합해서 전적신호 운영 여부를 판단하는 것이다. 즉, 총 여유녹색시간이 전적신호 현시시간보다 클 경우 전적신호의 적용이 가능하다. 이 방법에 의거 사례연구를 수행하였으며, 그 결과는 만족스럽게 나타났다.
