Abstract

Based on the analysis of congestion conditions in small cities with a population of less than 500,000 in Chungcheong Province, this study conducted a feasibility study on the scope of congestion improvement projects. Further, traffic congestion management standards were further established by analyzing LOS as well as the speed of traffic presented by congestion criteria in the existing Project. According to the analysis according to the congestion management standard LOS suggested in this study, Asan city has the most major number of highways where LOS E occurs for more than 3 hours, followed by Sejong City and Gongju City. In addition, when comparing the ratio of the busy main roads according to the frequency of LOS E by city size, it was analyzed that the ratio and extension of the busy highways relative to the overall extension of the large Chungcheong area are similar to the ratio in small cities in the Chungcheong region. Therefore, traffic congestion occurred in small cities and the feasibility of the improvement project was revealed.

본 연구는 충청권 인구 50만 이하 중소도시에서 혼잡 실태 분석을 토대로 혼잡도로 개선사업의 적용범위 타당성 연구를 진행하였다. 또한, 기존 "도시 생활교통 혼잡도로 개선사업"에서 혼잡기준으로 제시하고 있는 통행속도 뿐만 아니라 서비스수준에 따른 분석도 진행하여 더욱 더 설명력 있는 교통혼잡관리 기준을 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 혼잡관리기준 LOS에 따른 분석을 실시한 결과, LOS E 이하가 3시간 이상 발생하는 간선도로가 가장 많은 도시는 아산시이며, 세종시, 공주시 순으로 분석되었다. 또한, 도시 규모별 LOS E 이하의 발생빈도에 따른 혼잡 간선도로 비율을 비교해 보았을 때, 충청권 대도시(인구 50만 명 이상)의 전체 연장대비 혼잡 간선도로 비율과 연장은 충청권 중소도시에서의 비율과 연장과 유사한 값을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 중소도시에서도 교통 혼잡이 발생하며 중소도시의 교통혼잡도로 개선사업 타당성을 밝혔다.
