AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE RELATION BETWEEN TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND DRIVER'S PERCEPTION
Studies on traffic jams have been aimed principally at finding traffic jam boundary speed by analyzing traffic flows. On the other hand, some studies on driver's consciousness of delay are proceeding. However, these findings should be integrated, because, even if a delay judgment model based on driver's consciousness is obtained, we have to judge traffic flows to be congested using observed physical data of traffic. Then, it is important to analyze relations between the physical characteristics of traffic flows and the driver's perception of delay. This paper aims to provide a practical delay judgment model based on the driver's perception of delay. In order to obtain data on physical indices of traffic flows and driver's perception of delay, the authors carry out a video camera observation survey and questionnaire on some congested ordinary roads. Using both data, an available delay judgment model is estimated which really reflects individual driver's perception of delay.
