양방향 무인교통단속장비 도입 방안 연구

Abstract

This study aims to establish a foundation for the expanded adoption of bi-directional traffic enforcement equipment, which simultaneously monitors both directions of a two-lane road. To this end, we have predicted the effects on accident reduction, speed compliance, and budget savings with the introduction of this equipment. We have also developed and conducted pilot operations of the bi-directional traffic enforcement equipment to establish a basis for its introduction. When estimating the impacts of introducing bi-directional traffic enforcement equipment, the results indicated that compared to uni-directional installations, the bi-directional approach significantly enhances both accident and speed reduction effects. Additionally, it is estimated to achieve about a 50% reduction in budget expenses. We developed bi-directional traffic enforcement equipment through performance upgrades, including enhanced cameras, radar, and enforcement capabilities. A pilot operation and evaluation were conducted at six sites in Northern Gyeonggi Province. Following an internal verification and feature improvement and enhancement process, a three-month advisory period was conducted, leading to the official enforcement starting in March 2024. To provide a basis for the expanded adoption of bi-directional traffic enforcement equipment, we revised the police specifications for traffic enforcement equipment to include bi-directional enforcement capabilities. Additionally, we proposed a plan to expand distribution to areas such as school zones and local village resident protection sections. This study anticipates that the introduction of bi-directional traffic enforcement equipment in school zones and local village resident protection sections on two-way two-lane roads will enhance the installation and operational efficiency of traffic enforcement equipment. Additionally, it is expected to contribute to budget savings for both national and local governments regarding the installation and operation of such equipment.
