• 論文抄録 / 内容記述: Various types of research and development have been actively conducted in the field of ITS (Intelligent Transport System) from around the 1990s with the view of primarily attaining better automobile traffic conditions. Among others, the traffic jam problem on highways is one of the most serious issues for us to solve in improving the overall automobile traffic conditions. By the spread of ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System), the traffic jam in front of toll gates has become any more a serious problem. On the other hand, the so-called "sag traffic jam" accounts for about 60% of the causes of traffic jams as of the year 2011, and accordingly, this problem has become the biggest issue which needs to be solved in realizing the alleviation of the traffic jam. "Sag" here stands for the point on the road where a downhill slope changes to an uphill slope. The unconscious slowing-down behavior by a driver at that location is propagated to following cars one after another, and that eventually comes to case a big traffic jam. In the field of ITS, we have such technologies as ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) that automatically controls acceleration of cars from the information from the car ahead about the car-to-car distance and the relative speed between them, as well as CACC (Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control) that also takes into account the information about the acceleration of the car ahead in addition to the functions of ACC. In this paper, we focused attention on the possibility of these technologies contributing to the alleviation of the sag traffic jam problem. As it seems rather difficult for these technologies to spread among people rapidly, we have, as the initial step of our investigation, examined the correlation between the popularization of the above-mentioned technologies and the effect thereof in alleviating the sag traffic jam problem, from the standpoint of the popularization rate of CACC-equipped cars.
