Abstract

This research is aimed at comprehensively evaluating the condition of a road surface of a highway in satisfaction of its users. This research conducted an overall evaluation of a road surface condition by adding qualitative data, or a driver's satisfaction to the existing quantitative elements, whereas the existing research put its focus on a correlation analysis with quantitative factors and qualitative factors through a statistical method. As for an evaluation method, this research conducted an overall evaluation by using Grey System Theory which makes possible an integrated evaluation. The analyzed results make it possible to diagnose the current conditions of each section of object roads and to predict the potentially changeable conditions for the time to come. In addition, these analyzed results could hopefully be applied to the maintenance of freeways through diverse methods. It is hoped that the evaluation of a road surface condition of a highway in satisfaction of its user could be helpful to keeping up the satisfaction of a driver and passenger on the highway by more than a certain level. In addition, the analyzed data on the influence of data value observed by comprehensively evaluating a variety of elements could be used as a secondary means of the decision-making process in relation to road maintenance. On top of that, it could be used as a means of improving road maintenance system and offering the improved driving environment of the highway.

본 연구에서는 이용자 만족도를 고려하여 고속도로의 노면상태를 종합적으로 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 통계적 방법을 통해 정량적인 요인과 정성적인 요인들과의 상관분석 등이 주가 되었는데 반해, 본 연구에서는 기존의 정량적인 요소에 운전자의 만족도인 정성적인 data를 포함하여 종합적으로 노면상태 평가를 진행하였다. 이 때 평가 방법은 통합 평가가 가능한 Grey System Theory를 활용하여 종합적인 평가를 실시하였다. 분석된 결과는 대상도로의 각 구간에 대한 현재의 상태를 진단하고, 추후 변화될 상태에 대한 예측이 가능하다. 또한 분석된 결과를 다양한 방법을 통해 고속도로의 유지 관리에 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 다양한 요소들을 종합적으로 평가함으로써 관측된 data값들의 영향력을 분석할 수 있으며, 이를 활용하여 도로를 관리하고 유지하는 판단에 대한 결정지원에 보조적인 수단으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 아울러 사전 사후 모니터링 수단 활용으로 유지관리 체계 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
