| Popis: |
Due to urban overcrowding, available land is limited and traffic congestion has increased. Underground roads are being built to mitigate traffic congestion as an alternative. Studies associated with underground roads are needed because these roads are dark and closed and have a high risk of accidents compared to surface roads. In particular, there is limited study on junctions that connect two or more underground roads. In this study, an underground road network including junctions was constructed to analyze the factors behind rear-end collisions at underground road connections. To reflect the driving behavior on underground roads, the scenario analysis was conducted by applying the speed distribution of underground roads in Korea. The results of the analysis showed that variables such as acceleration standard deviation and lateral position standard deviation are crucial for accidents on underground roads. Thus, this study can be used as a basis for traffic management and safety improvement in the operation of underground road junctions in the future. |
