Providing weather information on roads today means that the road weather conditions near weather observation points are presented to road managers and road users. These weather observation points are managed by the Korea Meteorological Administration. However, it is difficult to provide accurate weather information due to physical limitations such as the presence of precipitation collection points, distance to weather information provision roads, and the presence of mountains. Therefore, this study intends to perform a comparative analysis by time zone and administrative dong provided by the Meteorological Administration using the wiper information among the information contained in the PVD(Probe Vehicle Data) collected from the highway C-ITS project. As a result of the analysis it was possible to detect rainfall even in the event of local rainfall and rainfall over a long period of time and the higher the cumulative precipitation per hour, the higher the probability of coincidence. This study is meaningful because it used PVD to solve the limitations of the existing road weather information provision method and suggested utilization plan for PVD.

Recently, weather information is getting closer to our real life, and it is a very important factor especially in the transportation field. Although the damage caused by the abnormal climate changes around the world has been gradually increased and the correlation between the road risk and the possibility of traffic accidents is very high, the domestic research has been performed at the level of basic research. The Purpose of this study is to develop a risk map for the road hazard forecasting service of weather situation by linking real - time weather information and traffic information based on accident analysis data by weather factors. So, we have developed a collection and analysis about related data, processing, applying prediction models in various weather conditions and a method to provide the road hazard map for national highways and provincial roads on a web map. As a result, the road hazard map proposed in this study can be expected to be useful for road managers and users through online and mobile services in the future. In addition, information that can support safe autonomous driving by continuously archiving and providing a risk map database so as to anticipate and preemptively prepare for the risk due to meteorological factors in the autonomous driving vehicle, which is a key factor of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and this map can be expected to be fully utilized.

최근 국지적인 집중 호우에 따른 홍수 피해와 도로에 홍수가 발생하고 있다. 또한, 기존의 도로위 강우관측 방식은 인근 강우관측소에서 관측된 강우량을 활용하며 지상 관측소 또는 AWS기상관측소의 관측 네트워크와 근접한 거리에서 강우량 편차가 크고 원하는 위치에서의 강우량과 다르며 인근관측소와의 거리가 멀어질수록 강우량의 정확도는 감소하게 된다. 국지적인 집중호우로 인한 도로위의 홍수에 따른 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 현재 운영 중인 관측망 외에 보다 상세화된 위치에서 강우량을 관측하고 이에 따라 실시간으로 강우정보를 수집하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서, 원하는 위치에서의 보다 정확한 강우량 값을 관측하기 위해서는 고해상도의 강우 관측망을 형성할 필요가 있다. 차량용 강우센서는 관측시 차량을 사용하기 때문에 고밀도 강우 관측 망을 형성하기 용이하다. 하지만 기존 강우량계와 달리 차량용 강우센서는 빛의 양을 이용하여 강우량을 변환시켜 측정되기 때문에 정확한 강우보정기술의 개발하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 차량용 강우센서를 활용하여 정확도 높은 강우량 관측을 위한 관계식을 개발했습니다. 관계식은 실내실제 관측되는 차량용 강우센서 정보 값에 적용하여 강우량을 생산하고 실제 강우관측 값과 비교 검실험을 통해 도출한 후 강우 관측장비 인근에서 실제 주행실험을 통해 강우관측소에서 관측된 강우량 값과 비교 및 검증을 수행하였습니다. 차량용 강우센서 정보 수집을 위해 데이터 스키마를 표준화하여 실시간으로 수집체계를 구축하였고 이는 보다 여러 위치에 있는 많은 차량에서 재해 관리를 위해 도로기상정보를 수집하고 활용할 수 있을 것입니다.

Adverse weather (e.g. strong winds, snow and ice) will probably appear as a more serious and frequent threat to road traffic than in clear climate. Another consequence of climate change with a natural disastrous on road traffic is respond to traffic accident more the large and high-rise bridge zone, tunnel zone, inclined plane zone and de-icing zone than any other zone, which in turn calls for continuous adaption of monitoring procedures. Accident mitigating measures against this accident category may consist of intense winter maintenance, the use of road weather information systems for data collection and early warnings, road surveillance and traffic control. While hazard from reduced road friction due to snow and ice may be eliminated by snow removal and de-icing measures, the effect of strong winds on road traffic are not easily avoided. The purpose of the study described here, was to design of amber information the relationship between traffic safety, weather, user information on road weather and driving conditions in local-scale Geographic. The most applications are the optimization of the amber information definition, improvements to road surveillance, road weather monitoring and improved accuracy of user information delivery. Also, statistics on wind gust, surface condition, vehicle category and other relevant parameters for wind induced accidents provide basis for traffic control, early warning policies and driver education for improved road safety at bad weather-exposed locations.

Snow fall and icing on traffic roads in the winter season cause not only inconvenience but unexpected traffic accidents, so the proper measures are needed. The existing road information system is being installed for steep slope roads in mountain areas, however, it is not widely adopted because it is too expensive. In this paper, a novel and cost-effective road weather information system especially for snow fall and icing on roads is proposed. The system consists of digital temperature and relative humidity sensor, infrared temperature sensor, ultrasonic sensor, CMOS camera, and two types of control/communication board for ubiquitous sensor network to send the data to server. The server program including the decision making method with received data is also described. Experimental results are provided to prove the feasibility of the proposed system.

This study proposes a model for road surface temperature prediction on basis of the heat-energy balance equation between atmosphere and road surface. The overall model is consisted of two types of modules: 1) Canopy 1 is used to describe heat transfer between soil surface and atmosphere; and 2) Canopy 2 can reflect the characteristics of pavement type. Input data used in the model run is obtained from the Korea Meteorological For model validation, the observed and predicted surface temperature data are compared using data collected on MoonEui Bridge along CheongWon-Sangju Expressway, and the comparison is made on winter and other seasons separately. Analysis results show that average difference between two temperatures lies within ${\pm}2^{\circ}C$ which is considered as appropriate from a micrometeorology point of view. The model proposed in this paper can be adopted as a useful tool in practical applications for winter maintenance. This study being a fundamental research is anticipated to be a starting point for further development of robust surface road temperature prediction algorithms.

Recently, interest in safety has been increasing in every area, especially in the field of transportation. The accurate evaluation of the stability of road facilities is needed to improve the level of safety in the field of transportation and the application of new technologies is required to reduce the number of natural disasters. In this study, the wind data were compared and analyzed according to the type of measurement, and an evaluation of the stability of road signs using the wind data was conducted. In addition, a stability plan to secure road signs was elaborated and its effect on the wind load was analyzed. It was found that the wind data measured by a mobile atmospheric observing system (MAOS) was 2.43 times bigger than that measured by the Korea meteorological administration (KMA) and road weather information system (RWIS). In terms of their stability, the road signs were susceptible to failure caused by gusty winds and it was found necessary to ensure their stability. In the future, it will be possible to evaluate the stability of road facilities using road line weather data and the application of wind load reduction technologies is expected to improve road safety.

Weather is an important factor affecting roadway transportation in many aspects such as traffic flow, driver 's driving patterns, and crashes. This study focuses on the relationship between weather and road surface condition and develops a model to estimate the road surface condition using machine learning. A road surface sensor was attached to the probe vehicle to collect road surface condition classified into three categories as 'dry', 'moist' and 'wet'. Road geometry information (curvature, gradient), traffic information (link speed), weather information (rainfall, humidity, temperature, wind speed) are utilized as variables to estimate the road surface condition. A variety of machine learning algorithms examined for predicting the road surface condition, and a two - stage classification model based on 'Random forest' which has the highest accuracy was constructed. 14 days of data were used to train the model and 2 days of data were used to test the accuracy of the model. As a result, a road surface state prediction model with 81.74% accuracy was constructed. The result of this study shows the possibility of estimating the road surface condition using the existing weather and traffic information without installing new equipment or sensors.
