돌발상황하의 교통망 통행시간 예측모형 = A Travel Time Prediction Model under Incidents

국문 초록 (Abstract)

전통적으로 동적 교통망 모형들은 실시간 교통운영 문제를 위한 도구로 인식되어 왔다. 이와 같은 모형들을 활용하는 방안 중 하나는 예측통행시간을 생성하는 것이다. 예측통행시간 정보는 통행자들이 혼잡한 지역에서 덜 혼잡한 지역으로 경로를 전환할 수 있도록 해 주는데 이는 교통망의 용량을 효과적으로 활용하게 한다. 이러한 접근 방법은 돌발상황이 발생했을 때 매우 효과적일 것으로 예상된다. 이 때 고려해야 할 사항은 통행시간정보가 미래 통행여건 자체에 영향을 준다는 점이다. 이로 인해 예기치 못한 과잉반응(over-reaction)을 야기할 수 있으며 예측정보의 신뢰도를 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용할 수도 있다.
본 연구에서는 돌발상황 발생 시를 대상으로 교통망 차원의 통행시간 예측모형을 제시한다. 이 모형에서는 모든 운전자가 개인 차내 단말기를 통해 상세한 교통정보를 이용할 수 있으며 이러한 정보를 바탕으로 경로선택에 관한 의사결정을 할 수 있다고 가정하였다. 경로기반(route-based)의 확률론적 변등부등식(stochastic variational inequality)을 통행시간예측의 기본모형으로 사용하였으며 운전자의 경로전환의사를 반영하기 위해 경로전환함수를 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 프로그램과 간단한 교통망 분석을 통해 제안된 모형의 특성을 살펴보았다.

Traditionally, a dynamic network model is considered as a tool for solving real-time traffic problems. One of useful and practical ways of using such models is to use it to produce and disseminate forecast travel time information so that the travelers can switch their routes from congested to less-congested or uncongested, which can enhance the performance of the network. This approach seems to be promising when the traffic congestion is severe, especially when sudden incidents happen. A consideration that should be given in implementing this method is that travel time information may affect the future traffic condition itself, creating undesirable side effects such as the over-reaction problem. Furthermore incorrect forecast travel time can make the information unreliable.
In this paper, a network-wide travel time prediction model under incidents is developed. The model assumes that all drivers have access to detailed traffic information through personalized in-vehicle devices such as car navigation systems. Drivers are assumed to make their own travel choice based on the travel time information provided. A route-based stochastic variational inequality is formulated, which is used as a basic model for the travel time prediction. A diversion function is introduced to account for the motorists' willingness to divert. An inverse function of the diversion curve is derived to develop a variational inequality formulation for the travel time prediction model. Computational results illustrate the characteristics of the proposed model.
