The performance of road-pavement system is closely related to the constituent materials and their susceptibility to mechanical as well as physicochemical stresses. However, the influence of physical and chemical effects on the road-pavement system due to pollution intrusion has not been investigated fully. To study this topic, thu.;, the interaction of a road-pavement system with pollution sources and environments are identified and discussed preliminarily in this paper. Pollution intrusion to road-pavement system occurs by three basic mechanisms; 1) direct intrusion into pavement surface, 2) intrusion from the Right of way, and 3) physical-chemical-biological alterations. Pollution intrusion potential is closely related to material type, particle size, and climatological and topographical features. Stability and performance of road-pavement system is also directly affected by pollution intrusion. Based on these features, thus, engineers working in related to the road design, construction, and maintenance should be seriously considered this topic.

교통사고의 요인은 크게 운전자 요인, 도로환경 요인, 차량 요인으로 구분 할 수 있다. 운전자의 안전의식미비, 심리상태, 피로 등 운전자 요인과 차량의 고장, 정비상태 불량 등 차량요인은 운수업체의 경영과 직ㆍ간접적인 관계가 있으므로 사고예방을 위한 경영자의 안전의식이 교통사고에 영향을 끼친다는 것은 분명한 사실이다.(중략)

In Jeju-Do, there is the 1100 Road, 516 Road, and Bijarimro, which are typical mountain sight-seeing roads in Jeju. These roads are local roads that have been the location for many traffic accidents. This study focused on these roads, categorized the type of traffic accident and analyzed the accident characteristics. The major accident factors were analyzed through trip AHP analysis, Comparative analysis of the velocity distribution and the factors affecting traffic accidents were analyzed. Tourists took many trips on these roads. The mixing rate of the rental cars was 36.70%~71.60% in 1100 road and Bijarimro. Currently, these local roads are regulated by a speed limit of 60km/h. However, it might be necessary to reduce the speed limit to 40km/h considering the geometric line form of the road and the climate in these areas. The speed limit of more than 40km/h is found 87.0% on 516 Roads, 88.57% on 1100 roads, and 93.1% on Bjarimro, In these roads, the speed ratio is higher as described above. Therefore, these roads have been found to have a higher risk of traffic accidents by overspeeding driving. The overspeed driving ratio of these roads was 87.0%~93.1%, The overspeed driving enforcement method at one spot has only the effect of reducing the speed at that enforcement place; the effect cannot be expected for the other places or sections. It is necessary to introduce a section overspeed driving enforcement system utilizing the average velocity in these areas to prevent traffic accidents.

산지유역의 지표 환경이 급격히 교란된 지역에서 집중 호우가 발생하면, 과대한 토사유출로 인해 하천유역 홍수 재해요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 산불발생지역, 벌목지역, 도로공사지역과 같이 산지환경이 급변한 지역을 토사유출 시험유역으로 운영하였다. 세 개의 시험유역 중에 지표교란이 심각한 도로공사시험유역에서 강우유출 및 토사유출이 가장 크게 발생하였다. 그림 1은 각 시험유역별 강우강도에 따른 첨두유량 관계를 나타낸 것이다. 또한 산불 후 10년이 경과된 급경사 산불시험유역이 벌목시험유역보다 유출 및 토사유출량이 많았다. 벌목시험유역은 벌목이후 잔류물과 빠른 식생회복으로 지표상태가 빠르게 안정화되어 유출 및 토사유출량이 적게 발생하였다. 도로공사 시험유역 나지사면에서 시행된 사면처리 공법 시공 전 후로 토사유출량의 변화가 현저히 크며(그림 2), 이는 공사를 진행하는 중에 적절한 사면관리 처리를 통한 토사유출량 저감이 필요하다는 것을 나타낸다.

In this study, our purpose is to identify a causal relationship in consciousness relating to the public involvement for current road improvement projects in Seoul Some of hypotheses about causal relationships among the psychological factors are assumed to develop a structural equation model. This model includes latent variables determining the consciousness relating to public involvement procedure, such as distrust feeling for administration (public sector) the knowledge and satisfaction about the road project, and the comprehensive faculty on the public involvement. The estimated model indicates that these assumed hypotheses are proved and that the administrative distrust strongly determines the consciousness as well as understanding of the road project and the knowledge of PI procedure.

The purpose of this study is to analyze factors that affect road users' acceptance of fully autonomous vehicles (level 4 or higher). A survey was done with drivers of general cars and pedestrians who share roads with fully autonomous vehicles. Five acceptability factors were selected: trust towards technology, compatibility, policy, perceived safety, and perceived usefulness. The effect on behavioral intention was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The perceived safety and trust towards technology were found to be very important in the acceptance of fully autonomous vehicles, regardless of the respondent, and policy was not influential. Compatibility and perceived usefulness were particularly influential factors for drivers. In order to improve the acceptance by road users, securing technical completeness of fully autonomous vehicles is important. Certification and evaluation of the safe driving ability of fully autonomous vehicles should be thoroughly performed, and based on the results, it is necessary to improve the perception by road users. It is necessary to positively recognize fully autonomous vehicles through education and publicity for road users and to support their smooth interaction.

This study aims to provide guidelines for the selection of on-street parking spot on local streets considering conditions of surrounding area and characteristics of traffic generation. This guideline provides the method which determine required roadway width for planning and design of local streets. It is necessary to identify factors for the location selection analysis. This research team selects 12 case study areas to investigate traffic environment on the sites for this analysis. Most of factors which influence on-street parking are found to have a qualitative data format except traffic volume and pedestrian movement data. Quantification theory II which is known to be suitable for qualitative analysis has been applied to identify the meaningful variables for dependent variable. In addition, discriminant analysis has performed to verify the correlation for each variable with hit ratio. Road width, traffic volume, street traders and their heavy packages, and illegally parked vehicle are found to be most significant factors for selection of on-street parking location. Therefore, it is necessary to consider traffic volume generated from massive residential complex and traffic volume for outside and above-mentioned factors for installation of on-street parking facility in the case of new road construction or road width widen.

It is well known that weather conditions are closely related with the number and severity of traffic accidents. At present, installation of safety countermeasures including systems is common approach to reduce the damage of traffic accidents at expressways. In this study, the differences of causation factors to influence traffic accidents considering road alignment characteristics and weather conditions. In order to identify the relationship between road and weather conditions, discriminant analysis has been performed with 500 traffic accident data at expressways. Weather conditions are divided into several categories such as snow, sunny, rain, fog, and cloud. Also, road conditions such as types of pavements, grades are analyzed. As the results, major impacting road conditions to traffic accidents are concrete pavement and 3% or more down grades. In these road conditions, visible distance will be reduced and actual braking distances will be increased. This study shows that the expressway sections under concrete pavement and down grades should be more cautious than other sections. It also shows that fog condition is the mose dangerous situation in terms of traffic accidents.

At present, there is a no rational MOE for evaluating hazard level at curve sections. Therefore, this study focus on developing the MOE and algorithm for hazard level at curve sections. The scopes of this study limited to rural two-way roads. Actual data used is accident, geometric features, safety facilities of the selected sites at curve sections. In order to develop MOE for hazard level at curve sections, accident contributing factors were classified by road geometry, visual guidance facility, speed and driver factor. A relationship between the four factors mentioned and accidents was conducted. And, the MOE for hazard level at curve sections was derived from the previous relationship analysis, and the algorithm for hazard level was developed. Finally, worksheets were suggested based on the MOE and algorithm for road designers. These developed MOE and algorithm can be used to reduce serious accident contributing factors when designing roads and also, these will be used to determine an order of priority when reconstructing roads.
