교통량 등의 도로외적인 요인을 배제한 도로의 물리적 특성이 미치는 영향으로 인하여 운전자의 주행행태가 변하는 것을 자유속도의 예측을 통하여 파악할 수 있다. 또한, 예측된 자유속도는 도로설계의 적정성 평가와 교통류 시뮬레이션 프로그램의 차량속로 입력자료에 이용될 수 있다. 기존의 자유속도 예측모형들이 이용해오던 선형 및 다중회귀분석과 달리 본 연구에서는 비선형적인 특성의 표현이 가능하고 여러 가지 기술적인 응용에 통용되고 있는 인공신경망을 이용하여 자유속도를 예측하고자 하였다. 고속도로 기본구간중 단곡선부를 대상으로 수집된 속도자료를 이용하여, 도로설계요소 중에서 평면 종단선형을 고려하고 횡단면 구성 요소의 일부를 반영한 결과 95% 신뢰수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 자유속도 예측모형을 개발할 수 있었다. 모형의 곡선 시점 중점속도의 RMSE는 6.68, 10.06이고 $R^2$는 0.77, 0.65로 기존에 개발되어있는 모형들과 비교하여 우수한 모형으로 분석되었다. 모형은 곡선 시점 중점에서의 속도특성을 곡선반경 등의 평면선형요소와 종단선형 요소별로 도출할 수 있으며, 연구결과는 현재 기본구간에 설계요소와 무관하게 일률 적용되는 자유속도를 도로설계요소와 관련하여 현실적으로 세분화하여 이용할 수 있는 근거를 제시하고, 나아가 설계일관성평가와 교통류 시뮬레이션에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In recent decades, microscopic simulation models have become powerful tools to analyze traffic flow on highways and to assist the investigation of level of service. The existing microscopic simulation models simulate an individual vehicle's speed based on a constant free-flow speed dominantly specified by users and driver's behavior models reflecting vehicle interactions, such as car following and lane changing. They set a single free-flow speed for a single vehicle on a given link and neglect to consider the effects of highway design elements to it in their internal simulation. Due to this, the existing models are limitted to provide with identical simulation results on both curved and tangent sections of highways. This paper presents a model developed to estimate the change of free-flow speeds based on highway design elements. Nine neural network models were trained based on the field data collected from seven different freeway curve sections and three different locations at each section to capture the percent changes of free-flow speeds: 100 m upstream of the point of curve (PC) and the middle of the curve. The model employing seven highway design elements as its input variables was selected as the best : radius of curve, length of curve, superelevation, the number of lanes, grade variations, and the approaching free-flow speed on 100 m upstream of PC. Tests showed that the free-flow speeds estimated by the proposed model were statistically identical to the ones from the field at 95% confidence level at each three different locations described above. The root mean square errors at the starting and the middle of curve section were 6.68 and 10.06, and the R-squares at these points were 0.77 and 0.65, respectively. It was concluded from the study that the proposed model would be one of the potential tools introducing the effects of highway design elements to free-flow speeds in simulation.
