Highway classification is an essential part of defining design criteria of roads. This study is to classify highways by factor analysis. To accomplish the objectives, factor analysis is performed for classifying highways using the traffic data observed at the permanent traffic count points in 2004. A total off variables are applied : AADT, K factor, D factor, heavy vehicle proportion, day time traffic volume proportion, peak hour volume proportion, sunday factor, vacation factor and COV(Coefficient of Variation). The results of factor analysis show that variables are divided into two factors, which are the factor related to the fluctuational characteristics of traffic volume and the factor related to heavy vehicle and directional volume characteristics. According to the results of cluster analysis, 353 permanent traffic count points are categorized into such three groups as type I for urban highway, type II for rural highway, type III for recreational highway, respectively.

현재 사용되고 있는 통행시간 분류방법은 하나의 통행시간을 대푯값으로 가지고 있다. 이에 문제점은 고속도로 특성으로 규정 속도 이상의 속도로 주행하는 차량, 규정 속도 및 휴게소 이용차량, 운전자의 운전 습성, 통행 목적, 피로의 정도, 운전자 성향과 도로상황에 따라 통행시간이 다르게 나타나는 점이다. TCS(Toll Collection System) 자료는 고속도로의 다양한 특성이 포함되어 있으며, 대상 구간의 거리가 멀수록 목적지에 도달하는 통행시간의 분산이 커지는 특성 또한 보인다. 따라서 이를 처리하기 위한 효율적인 통행시간 분류, 구간대표통행시간 추출 알고리즘이 필요하다. 기존의 방법은 전체 통행차량의 통행시간을 감안한 방법으로 통행시간 예측시 정확성이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 TCS 자료를 Fuzzy c-means 알고리즘을 이용하여 일일 고속도로 통행시간의 시간별 주행특성을 고려한 대푯 값을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실제 서울-청주 구간을 운행한 TCS 자료를 가지고 실시한 실험으로, 주행특성 및 도로상황을 고려한 Fuzzy c-means를 이용한 통행시간 분류방법과 기존의 통행시간 분류 방법을 통한 통행시간을 PIFAB를 사용 TCS 자료의 실제 통행시간과 경로통행시간을 비교 평가하였다. 평가한 결과 본 연구에서 제안하는 Fuzzy c-means기법은 기존 방법인 MAD기법보다 75%, 신뢰구간(95%) 추출법 대비 81%의 정확성을 제고하였다.

In this study, the capacity of the tunnel and the general section was calculated and compared using the VDS detector data, and the decrease rate in capacity of the tunnel section was analyzed by tunnel type. To compare the capacity of the tunnel and the general section, the Product Limit Method (PLM) was applied to the VDS detector data. As a result of comparing the capacity of the tunnel and general section, the capacity of the tunnel section decreased by about 6.5% compared to the general section. To classify the tunnel type, the tunnel extension and the number of lanes were used as variables, and there was a difference in the decrease rate of capacity by tunnel group classified by each criterion.

In the paper, we propose the methodology to extract training dataset automatically for supervised classification of road networks. For the preprocessing, we co-register the airborne photos, LIDAR data and large-scale digital maps and then, create orthophotos and intensity images. By overlaying the large-scale digital maps onto generated images, we can extract the initial training dataset for the supervised classification of road networks. However, the initial training information is distorted because there are errors propagated from registration process and, also, there are generally various objects in the road networks such as asphalt, road marks, vegetation, cars and so on. As such, to generate the training information only for the road surface, we apply the Expectation Maximization technique and finally, extract the training dataset of the road surface. For the accuracy test, we compare the training dataset with manually extracted ones. Through the statistical tests, we can identify that the developed method is valid.

This study focus on segmentation process that classifies road surfaces into 5 different categories, dry, wet water, icy, and snowy surfaces by analyzing asphalt-paved road images taken in daylight. By using the polarization coefficients, the proportions of horizontally polarized components to vertically polarized components, regions with over 1.3 polarization coefficients are classified as wet surfaces. Except for wet surfaces, the decision process a lies time-frequency analysis to other parts by using the third order wavelet packet transform. In addition, by using the average frequency characteristics of dry and icy surfaces from image templates, decide which is closer to a test image, and finally identify dry and icy surfaces. It is confirmed that the reposed estimation and segmentation of recognition on various images. This can be interpreted as an indication that image-only mad surface condition supervision is probable.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm which can automatically extract the road information in a map image. The proposed method extracts the road image in the complex map image. The extracted image is converted into the skeleton image by thining method. The converted image contains various problems. In order to correct these problems, after the road is classified by the number of Rutovitz-connectivity which represents the characteristic of road, those are respectively corrected according to the load characteristic. In the simulation, the proposed method has obtained good results for the various type of map images.

It's proposed and analyzed ML(Machine Learning) models to predict vehicle FC(Fuel Consumption) in real-time. The test driving was done for a car to measure vehicle speed, acceleration, road gradient and FC for training dataset. The various ML models were trained with feature data of speed, acceleration and road-gradient for target FC. There are two kind of ML models and one is regression type of linear regression and k-nearest neighbors regression and the other is classification type of k-nearest neighbors classifier, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest and gradient boosting in the study. The prediction accuracy is low in range of 0.5 ~ 0.6 for real-time FC and the classification type is more accurate than the regression ones. The prediction error for total FC has very low value of about 0.2 ~ 2.0% and regression models are more accurate than classification ones. It's for the coefficient of determination (R²) of accuracy score distributing predicted values along mean of targets as the coefficient decreases. Therefore regression models are good for total FC and classification ones are proper for real-time FC prediction.

A Korean Road Roughness Classification(KRC) method is proposed. Using a dynamic road profiling device equipped with the Accelerometer Established Inertial Profiling Reference(AEIPR) method, road profile measurement is performed on various types of public paved roads in Korea. The road profiling data are processed to classify the characteristics of Korean road roughness. The resultant Korean road roughness classification(KRC) is shown different characteristics compared to the road classification proposed by ISO, MIRA, and Wong. The proposed KRC is composed of 8 classes(A-H, very good-poor) based on the power spectral density and is in good agreements with the characteristics of Korean paved road roughness and can be used well in vehicle ride comfort simulation using domestic road profile.

National Road No.24 connects Ulju-gun in Ulsan Metropolitan City and Milyang city in south Gyongsang Province. The width of the road is small and narrow and many of the dangerous cut slopes are distributed along the way. In 2002, the government officer carried on the brief exploration about road cut slopes, and KICT conduct a detailed additionally investigations 57 dangerous cut slope sites of them. We gained a variety of information of the each slope such as length, slope, discontinuites et al.

This study analyzed the scenario for road freezing section by applying the road freezing evaluation algorithm. To apply road freezing algorithm, the influencing factors on road freezing were reviewed. Observation data from four points, Mokgam IC, Jeongneung tunnel, Seongsan bridge, and Yeomchang bridge were used for analysis. All observatories are installed on the expressway, and they are classified for the analysis of road freezing characteristics. When the difference between the road surface temperature and dew-point temperature of the road freezing evaluation algorithm was 3℃ or less, the section where road freezing occurred was checked. In addition, road freezing evaluation was derived through the change of the road surface condition and water film thickness of the freezing section.
