The greatest factor of traffic delay on the urban road is that of intersection. A variety of studies goes on the minimize the congestion at such a intersection, and it is noted that the signal progression is the best effective idea among those studies.
Accordingly, this study selected a region for case study from Sedbang three-way junction, partial section of Dongmoon Ro in Kwang-Ju City, to the intersection of Mudeung Library Entrance where is believed that the signal progression is very effective on the basis of short interval of intersection and massive traffic volume. The signal progression was simulated by TRANSYT-7F model.
The summary of the result is as follows :
1. According to the change of cycle length, P.I., delay and fuel consumption show the tendency of being increased in case that cycle length becomes long or short, centering around the best cycle length.
2. In the event of progressing the cycle length, the average speed per vehicle is increased by 11.39Km per hour and P.I. value is improved by 40.65%.
3. As a result of being improved by 42.86% in the total travel time.
4. The fuel consumption in line with the progression practice produced fuel saving of 31.04%.
