Developed countries, especially in road construction and management fields, introduce new road porjects such as National Scenic Byways Program(NSBP program) in USA and the Eco-road project in Japan. This study develops a conceptual model for deploying new road projects in Korea. The four step approach is suggested to create new road projects, including foundation of an act based on the existing Road Act, creation of new road project ideas, development of evaluation process and guidelines, and enhancement of an administrative scheme. To create new road projects, three different ways are devised; (1) designation of national roads having uniqueness in overall spectrum, (2) designation of roads having intrinsic values in a different aspect, (3) designation of single structures of engineering outcomes such as bridges, tunnels, new design techniques, considerable Value Engineering output, and well analyzed Life Cycle Cost Analysis practices. For the evaluation process, NSBP program of USA and/or Sustainable City Award program of Korea would be recommended. An administrative scheme and integrated funding process for the new road projects are also suggested based on evaluation of tasks of each team or division of Korea Ministry of Construction and Transportation.

Improvement of transport system is necessary to advance the freight traffic meanwhile logistics are getting bigger and faster by worldwide tendency. The link between each transportations occurs bottleneck state and it raises the necessity of non-stop mixed transport system which can reduce the cost of logistics. DMT(Dual Mode Trailer) was designed to use road and railway at the same time for door to door service. It is called DMT for every transport system which can connect between road and railway in Korea. This study would like to examine the present condition of promotion for localization of DMT which is new idea and technology and suggest the new subjects from now.
