Network Calibration Network Calibration was performed by modifying the free flow speed, capacity of each link. Error rate was calculated using DUE flows and observed flows on each link at time slice

Network Calibration (cont’d) Time Slice 4:00-5:00 PM5:00-6:00 PM6:00-7:00 PM7:00-8:00 PM8:00-9:00 PM Error Rate(ER) (%) rate(%) Over Estimation ER>= <=ER< <=ER< <=ER< <=ER< <=ER< Under Estimation -10<=ER< <=ER< <=ER< <=ER< ER< Sum100.0 Result of network calibration is reasonable in reflecting real traffic conditions because most of all link’s error rate is within 30% at each time slice.

Traffic Condition :00-6:00 PM 6:00-7:00 PM 7:00-8:00 PM 8:00-9:00 PM Above figures shows that the link flows are represented by bar and color theme After 7:00 PM, Congestion begins to be dissolved gradually up to a certain point.

Policy scenarios Scenario1: - 판교 IC- 신탄진 IC (Pangyo-IC ~ Sintanjin- IC) 2. Scenario2: - 판교 IC- 수원 IC (Pangyo-IC ~ Suwon-IC) 3. Scenario3: - 수원 IC- 신탄진 IC (Suwon-IC ~ Sintanjin-IC) Scenario2 Scenario3 Scenario1 Pangyo IC Sintanjin IC Suwon IC - 승용차에서 버스로의 수단전환율 : (Mode shift ratio from auto to bus:) 10%, 20%, 30%, 35%

Measurement Car and Bus mode were just considering. The formula for computing total travel time Where, = Link m = Mode (Auto, Bus) = Mode(m)’s Occupancy(person) T = Total Travel Time = Mode(m)’s Travel Time on link = Mode(m)’s Volume on link

Result of Policy Scenarios Mode Shift Ratio (Auto ⇒ Bus) Policy * Scenario’s Total Travel Time (A) Base Case’s Total Travel Time (B) (A) / (B) *100 (%) 10% Scenario11,729,140 1,179, % Scenario21,617, ,12% Scenario31,481, % 20% Scenario11,576, % Scenario21,488, % Scenario31,356, % 30% Scenario11,424, % Scenario21,360, % Scenario31,231, % 35% Scenario11,347, % Scenario21.295, % Scenario3 1,169, % (Unit: Hour) * Scenario 1: Pangyo-IC ~ Sintanjin-IC * Scenario 2: Pangyo-IC ~ Suwon-IC * Scenario 3: Suwon-IC ~ Sintanjin-IC

Conclusion This study analyzes various scenarios based on DTA model and real time data from TCS The result represents Median Bus-lane policy is meaningful when Mode Shift Ratio from auto to bus is greater than 35% Since It means that the overall public transportation policies need to make a mode shift from Auto to Bus.

Conclusion This study shows the effect of access control on tollgate under DTA with virtual network In the result of simulation using Dynameq, we can find out the improvement effects of speed and density on link when access control on tollgate is adopted The following study needs to analyze the actual large network with real time data such as TCS
