도로표지는 도로상에서 도로이용자가 원하는 목적지까지 쉽게 도착할 수 있도록 안내해 주는 기능을 갖는 도로부속물로 꼭 필요한 곳에, 눈에 잘 띄도록, 간단 명료하게 의미가 전달될 수 있도록 설치되어야 한다. MUTCD (Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices)의 교통통제설비의 기본요건처럼 무엇보다도 표지판을 보고 필요한 행동을 취하는데 있어서 안전과 시인성이 확보되도록 여유 있게 설치되어야 한다. 그러나, 우리의 표지의 설치 및 운영상황은 그렇지 못하다는 데에서 본 연구는 시작되었다. 시인거리측면을 중심으로 우리나라와 외국 여러 나라의 그것을 비교한 결과, 우리의 규정에서는 판독거리의 중요한 변수인 표지판 정보수가 고려되지 않았음이 드러났다. 따라서, 본고에서는 정보수에 초점을 맞추어 속도와 정보수, 주행 차로 등의 변수를 고려한 표지판 시인거리 측정실험을 하였다. 실험은 현재 국도상에 설치되어 있는 표지판을 대상으로 GPS(Global Positioning System) 수신기를 이용하여 시인거리를 측정하여 진행하였다. 그 결과 실제 시인거리가 현재의 도로표지규정에 의한 시인거리와 다소 차이가 있음을 발견할 수 있었고, 판독거리에서 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수는 속도 > 정보수 > 주행차로의 순임을 분석할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 한 개의 물리적 표지내에 정보수가 많은 우리나라의 표지판에 현실적인 시인거리를 고려한 설치가 유도될 수 있을 것으로 기대되고, 향후 도로표지규정을 개정할 때에도 이 연구결과를 반영한 현실적인 규정의 재정립이 기대된다. 또한 표지판의 실제 크기, 글자 및 문안의 크기는 물론 판의 크기 및 여백의 설정도 재산정될 필요가 있으며 이에 대한 추후 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

PMS(Pavement Management System) has been developed and/or operated for the freeway and national highway systems in Korea. There is, however, no municipal PMS that is necessary in many cities for efficient management of their roadways. In this study, a municipal Prototype PMS is developed. The Prototype PMS is designed to be operated on PC base. It uses GIS interface for user friendliness that applies color graphics, text and distress pictures to display pavement conditions and rehabilitation information for both current and historical situations. The computer program of the prototype PMS consists of four major functions(inquiry, analysis, data management, and print). Especially, prioritization and M&R(Maintenance and Rehabilitation) alternative selection procedure is designed to be flexible so that the users can modify the decision criteria whenever it is necessary. Database items of the Prototype PMS is carefully selected for the objectives and size of municipal PMS. Reference point method is basically used for the location referencing in the Database. The unit section consists of each loom segment of the road for effective management.

This study introduces the areawide road safety improvement program, which was developed to overcome the weak points of conventional black spot improvement programs. The latter has been criticized in terms of that it can cause the problem of accident migration and that it prevents from identifying causes of road accident in the comprehensive scope. On the other hand, the areawide road safety improvement program can allow us to find the route or areas that have quite a number of road accidents with the common causes. Therefore, we can take countermeasures effectively in a different framework in this approach. This study explains in detail about the concept, procedures, and effects of areawide road safety improvement programs including the example. This study may contribute to bringing a new framework of road safety improvement program in Korea.

Road classification system is the first step for determining the road function and design standards. Currently, roads are classified by various indices such as road location and function. In this study, we classify road using various traffic indices as well as to identify traffic characteristics for each type of road. To accomplish the objectives, mixture model was applied for classifying road and analyzing traffic characteristics using traffic data that observed at permanent traffic count stations. A total of 8 variables were applied: annual average daily traffic(AADT), $K_{30}$ coefficient, heavy vehicle proportion, day volume proportion, peak hour volume proportion, sunday coefficient, vacation coefficient, and coefficient of variation(COV). A total of 350 permanent traffic count points were categorized into three groups : Group I (Urban road), Group II (Rural road), and Group III (Recreational road). AADT were 30,000 for urban, 16,000 for rural, and 5,000 for recreational road. Group III was typical recreational road showing higher average daily traffic volume during Sunday and vacational periods. Group I showed AM peak and PM peak, while group II and group III did not show AM peak and PM peak.

As the social infrastructure becomes deteriorated, its maintenance cost has been increased rapidly. There are growing needs to manage facilities systematically to reduce this kind of maintenance budget, and furthermore to avoid safety accidents in Korea. Asset management is widely used in New Zealand, the United States, Great Britain to manage their social facilities. In these countries, standardized information model and its system are developed and in service for asset management. There are several researches on asset management of social infrastructure in Korea, and the KTAM-40 work procedure is one of the main results for these researches. In this paper, the IIMM of New Zealand and the KTAM-40 of Korea, were surveyed to develop a business architecture of the highway asset management system. A new business architecture for the highway asset management system is proposed based on the KTAM-40 work procedure: First, the organization and its role for the highway asset management are defined. Second, business functions of the highway asset management are classified. Third, the highway asset management functions and the flow of information are defined. In the last section, differences between the newly designed architecture and the other systems' architecture is reviewed.
