Despite the significant benefits of BIM (Building Information Modeling), it is not being vitalized for the facilities that are designed based on the horizontal and vertical alignments because of the lack of flexibility in manipulating surface models generated based on alignments. Alignment-based design produces a surface model in one piece through the definition of the typical cross-section along the alignment. Therefore, linking these alignment-based 3D surface models, that are not modularized and difficult to partition, to the required attribute information is very difficult This paper presents design of a flexible BIM technology suitable for the alignment-based civil infrastructure by providing the partitioning functionality for surface models, the contents library for cross-sectional design components, and the attribute information along with the critical functionalities needed for the design, construction and maintenance of alignment-based civil infrastructure.

This study has been developed the way that evaluates the road safety using the speed of individual vehicles at curve sections in 2-lane rural highways. For this study, we developed variation of operational speed for the individual vehicle using the speed of vehicles in 96points of selected roads. Drawing out of variation of operational speed for the individual vehicle, estimation models for speed variation of individual vehicles considering horizontal alignments and vertical alignments of the roads have been developed. These models presents the way to evaluate road safety out of the operational speed and acceleration of individual vehicles. Considering safety and based on the results of these study above, some regular spots are ranked by "good", "fair", "bad". The results that this study showed in this paper could be useful to derive some particular spots that needs to be improve in terms of safety.

본 논문은 도로상에 매설된 자기표지의 인식을 통해 주행 중인 바이모달 트램의 위치를 추정하는 추정알고리즘 설계 및 검증에 대한 내용을 다룬다. 바이모달 트램은 자동 안내제어를 위해 도로상에 4m 간격으로 매설된 자기표지를 인식하여 차량과 기준경로사이의 경로오차를 측정하고, 이 때 측정된 정보를 이용하여 차량의 위치를 계산한다. 경로오차 측정 정보는 125msec간격으로 이산적으로 주어지며, 차량의 선형모델에 근거한 관측기를 이용하여 차량의 위치를 실시간으로 추정하는 알고리즘을 설계하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This study is to develop an estimation method of freeway design capacity through the analysis of time headway distribution in continuum flow. Traffic flow-speed diagram and time headway distribution plotted from individual vehicle data shows: a) a road capacity is not deterministic but stochastic, b) time headway distribution for each vehicle speed group follows pearson type V distribution. The freeway design capacity estimation model is developed by determining a minimum time headway for capacity with stochastic method. The estimated capacity values for each design speed are lower when design speed ${\leq}80km/h$, and higher when design speed ${\geq}106km/h$ in comparison with HCM(2000)'s values. In addition, The distinguish difference is that this model leads flexible application in planning level by defining the capacity as stochastic distribution. In detail, this model could prevent a disutility to add a lane for only one excess demand in a road planning level.

There have been noticeable developments for the optimization of the highway and railroad alignments with the IT and computerized tools. The designers expect that all of the quantitative design elements should be considered. This study developed a methodology which can be useful for the vertical alignment design. It provides a accurate "vertical control point" searching method, and makes the vertical alignment optimization more efficiently. The vector method makes the searching faster and calculates more accurate application sections. The results from this method generate more reliable vertical alignments than the conventional raster method for less computation time.

도시 교통의 혼잡을 개선하기 위하여 대도시에서는 고가도로의 건설이 필수적이며, 고가도로 노선 내에서는 교통흐름의 원활화를 위하여 교량 자체의 평면 형상을 도로선형과 일치시켜야 하므로 특히 곡선교의 건설은 필수적이다. 아치교(arch bridge)나 곡선교(horizontally curved bridge)는 교량건설에 있어서 널리 적용되는 구조이며 적절히 설계가 이루어진다면 미관이 뛰어나고 매우 경제적인 교량구조가 될 수 있다. 또한 건설 지점의 입지조건 등에 의해 곡선교의 건설이 불가피한 경우가 많기 때문에 이에 대한 정확한 해석은 매우 중요하다.(중략)

산업과 생활수준의 향상에 따라서 도로나 철도 등의 기간산업에 대한 고속화 및 대용량화가 요구되고 있다. 특히 철도에 있어서는 선형의 직선화 및 복선화계획이 진행되면서 터널건설이 증가하고 장대터널이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 철도터널의 환기 및 방재 시스템의 설계기법에 관심이 고조되고 있으나 현재의 국내 철도 터널은 대부분 오래 전에 건설된 것이며 또한 환기설비를 요구할 만큼의 장대터널이 없기 때문에 이를 고려하지 않고 있다. 그래서 국내의 철도터널 환기설계 기술은 미약한 상태로 현재 발주되는 대부분의 공사를 외국의 용역사의 설계에 의존하고 있는 실정이다.

In this study, estimated the minimum lane width for the curved section by analyzing of lateral sway distance and compared the lane width for result of this study and a precedent study for straight section on urban roads. Then suggested minimum lane width of road alignments and vehicle classes. The lane width of curved section that was investigated was 2.79m~3.40m. Analysis of frequency distribute and cumulative frequency distribution for lateral sway distance on the basis of 85% of the suggested vehicles. The result of study, minimum lane width for the curved section was 2.31m~2.58m in the case of small size car and 2.80m~3.27m in the case of large size car. Result of this study is judged that it is necessary to case for introduction of green transit, during road construction and construct a road for small size car. Expect result of this study can be used for the application of flexible design standard according the purpose of road designer.

The speed enforcement camera has been regarded as one of the most important safety countermeasures. Drivers decelerate in front of the speed enforcement camera and gain speed up after passing the camera. So there is a strong need to develop the method how to place the camera to overcome this problem. This study applied the concept of design consistency to the installation of the camera, so speed difference along the road sections should be controlled within the predetermined boundary. Specially, this study also regarded camera as the one of the elements of the road alignments which can change the speed of drivers abruptly, and suggested the way to put this concept into the selection of the placement of the camera.

The propriety between suppliers and demanders in geometric design is very important. Although the final purpose of constructing roads is to concern about the driver s comfort, unfortunately, it has not been considered so far. We've considered the regularity and quickness in considering driver's comfort but there should be considered the safety for the accident as well. If drivers are appeared to be more speeding than designer's intention, there will be needed some supplements to increase the safety rate for the roads. Even if both an upward and downward section are supposed to exist at the same time for solid geometry of the roads like this, it is true that the recent design for the 3-D solid geometry section has been done as flat 2-D and the minimum plane curve radius and the maximum cant have been decided just by calculating without considering operating speed between an upward and downward section at the same point. In this investigation, thus, I'd like to calculate the safety of the cant by considering the speed features of the solid geometry for the first lane of four lane rural roads. To begin with, we investigated the driving speed of the car, which is not been influenced by a preceding car to analyze the influence of the geometrical structure by using Nc-97. Secondly, we statistically analyzed the driving features of the solid geometry after comparing the 6 sections, that is, measuring the driving speed feature at 12 points and combining the influence of the vertical geometry and plane geometry to the driving speed of the plane curve which was researched before. Finally, we estimated the value of cant which considers the driving speed not by using it which has applied uniformly without considering it properly, though there were some differences between a designed speed and driving speed through the result of the basic statistical analysis but by introducing the new safety rate rule, a notion of ${\alpha}$. As a result of the research, we could see the driving features of the car and suggest the safety rate which considers these. For considering the maximum cant, if we apply the safety rate, the result of this experiment, which considers 3-D solid geometry, there'll be the improvement of the driver's safety for designing roads. In addition, after collecting and analyzing the data for the road sections which have various geometrical structures by expanding this experiment it is considered that there should be developed the models which considers 3-D solid geometry.
