Abstract

As South Korea is a mountainous topography, installation of tunnel is essential for construction of expressway in straight lines. According to "2019 Road Bridge and Tunnel Status Report", there are 2,682 tunnels in Korea with total length of 2,077km. Tunnels take up 1.9% of total road length and the number of tunnel increased by 94% with 1,300 newly constructed tunnels over the 10 years. According to domestic and foreign researches, a long tunnel over 1km in expressway has dark lightings and monotonous wall design which decrease driver's concentration and make the driver feel bored. This leads to feeling fatigue and drowsiness more easily. In response, Korea Expressway Corporation installed design lighting that increases attentiveness on 10 tunnels with total length over 3km by 2020. To reduce the risks of accident that may happen inside the tunnel, this study conducted a comparative analysis on characteristics of each type of LED landscape lighting installed inside the expressway tunnel. The study aimed on providing the basic material for effective installation of LED landscape lighting for securing driving stability, reducing fatigue, and lowering the risk of drowsiness.

우리나라 지형의 특성상 산지가 많아 고속도로 직선화 건설 시에는 터널 설치가 필수적인 요소이다. "2019년도 도로 교량 및 터널 현황조서" 통계에 따르면 터널은 2,682개소이고 2,077km로 전체 도로연장의 1.9%를 차지하고 있으며 10년 전에 비해 1,300개소로 94% 증가하고 있다. 국내외 연구에 따르면 고속도로 설치된 1Km이상 되는 장대터널들은 좁고 어두운 조명과 단조로운 벽면 디자인으로 인해 운전자로 하여금 집중력 저하 및 지루함을 느끼게 하여 피로와 졸음이 쉽게 발생한다. 이에 한국도로공사에서는 2020년까지 3Km 이상 터널 10곳을 대상으로 주의력 높이는 디자인 조명을 설치하였다. 본 연구는 터널 내부에서 발생할 수 있는 사고의 위험성을 개선하고자 한국고속도로에서 설치된 터널 내 LED 경관 조명 디자인을 유형별로 특징을 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 향후 터널 내 LED 경관 조명 설치 시 운전자로 하여금 주행 안정성 확보와 피로와 졸음사고를 낮출 수 있는 효과적인 설치를 위한 기초자료 제공의 목적으로 한다.
