본 연구에서는 아스팔트 포장과 콘크리트 포장의 습윤시 교통사고 가능성을 비교하 였다. 다양한 노후도를 가진 두 포장재료에 대해 마찰력 측정장비(BPT, Britsh Pendulum Tester)로 건조 및 습윤상태에서 노면마찰력을 측정하였으며, 측정결과와 두 포장재료에 대 한 실제 교통사고율을 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 노면 습윤 에 따른 마찰력 저하정도는 아스팔트 포장이 콘크리트 포장보다 컸다. (2) 노면 습윤에 따른 실제 교통사고율도 아스팔트 포장에서 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타나 (1)의 결론과 일관된 결과를 보여주었다. (3) 노면마찰력은 건조상태에서는 노면마모 정도에 크게 영향을 받지 않으나 일 단 습윤상태가 되면 노면마모가 심할수록 마찰력 저하폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Distress data, IRI, etc. are important factors in the evaluation of pavement condition. Recently, the need to consider tire-pavement noise in PMS (pavement management system) is raised. Generally, tire-pavement noise highly depends on the characteristics of pavement texture. Therefore, estimation of texture characteristics may give useful information to predict tire-pavement noise. Measurement of MPD (Mean Profile Depth) by using PLP (Portable Laser Profiler) provide very fast. The texture characteristics by means of MPD can be in a short time. hence, It can be a good alternative to give noise information, if MPD and tire-pavement noise have robust relationship. In this study, MPD and tire-pavement noise were simultaneously collected on the number of asphalt section to evaluate the tire-pavement noise due to the pavement texture characteristics. A set of statistical analysis was performed to propose relationship between tire-pavement noise and MPD for asphalt concrete pavement.

도로소음은 다양한 소음원에 의해 발생하며, 도로를 이용하는 사람과 도로 주변사람에게 큰 불편을 초래한다. 보다 쾌적한 환경을 원하는 현대인에게 있어 도로 소음의 경감은 중요한 환경 공해로 작용한다. 도로 소음을 줄이기 위해서는 여러 가지 방법이 있을 수 있으며, 이 중 도로 포장의 개선을 통해 도로 소음을 경감할 수 있으며, 이와 같은 포장을 저소음 포장이라고 한다. 저소음 포장은 주행하는 차량의 타이어와 노면이 마찰하면서 발생하는 소음을 최소화하기 위한 것으로 소음 발생의 메커니즘을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 저소음 포장중 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 방법은 공극을 늘리는 것이다. 약 20%의 공극은 타이어와 노면 사이의 에어펌핑음을 최소화 하며, 소리를 흡수하는 역할로 약 3dB의 소음 가소 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 소음을 감소시키는 또 하나의 방법은 노면의 표면 조직을 매끈하게 하여 타이어와 노면의 충격음을 줄이는 방법이다. 노면의 평탄성을 개선하기 위해 포장에 사용되는 골재의 최대크기를 줄이는 소입경 포장을 소음 가소의 목적으로 유럽 등지에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 저소음 기능을 위해 공극률을 크게 하고 소입경 골재를 사용하는 소입경 저소음 포장의 현장 적용을 위한 배합 설계를 수행하였다. 소입경 저소음 포장의 최대 골재 크기는 현장 적용성과 경제성을 고려하여 10mm 골재를 사용하였으며, 수도권에서 입수한 4곳의 산지 골재를 분석하여 골재 합성 입도를 산정하였다. 10mm 저소음 포장의 골재 입도 범위는 공극률 15~18%를 목표로 하며, 이를 만족하기 위하여 배합 설계를 수행한 결과 5mm 통과 중량 백분율이 약 30%로 하는 개립도가 적당한 것으로 나타났다. 공극이 증가함에 따라 포장의 내구성 향상을 위해 사용된 고점도 바인더는 아스팔트 혼합물의 생산 및 시공온도를 증가시키게 된다. 또한 굵은골재의 비율이 높은 개립도 아스팔트 혼합물의 경우 운반과정과 포설 과정에서 온도가 빨리 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 중온 첨가제의 사용을 통해 생산 및 다짐온도를 낮추고자 하였다. 소입경 저소음 포장의 배합설계 과정은 배수성 포장의 배합설계 과정과 유사하나, 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름실험의 변곡점을 기준으로 할 경우, 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름 손실률이 매우 작아 변곡점을 판단하기 어렵기 때문에 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름 손실률의 기준 만족 여부로 판별하고, 최적 아스팔트 함량은 공극률을 기준으로 산정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 중온 첨가제를 사용할 경우는 중온 첨가제로 인한 점도의 변화를 감안하여 혼합 및 다짐 온도를 결정하고 배합 설계를 수행하며, 중온 첨가제의 특성과 양에 따라 최적 아스팔트 함량이 변화하게 된다.

As road noise became an issue, low-noise pavement (LNP) has emerged. The noise difference from general asphalt pavement (GAP) is a measure to explain the noise reduction of LNP. On the other hand, even for GAP, noise varies with the performance years (PY) and pavement condition. This study evaluated the representative noise value (RNV) by the speed and PY of GAP. Sections of 49selected from the National Road Pavement Management System, and the noise was measured at speeds from 50km/h to 80km/h at every 10km/h using the Close Proximity Method (CPX). Because the noise immediately after construction differed from the other, it was treated separately, and some outliers were removed. The noise increased with increasing PY. In addition, the noise increase by speed showed a reliable trend at all noise levels. The RNV for each speed and PY was obtained through analyses of the PY and speed. The average noise difference between the initial construction and the six-year-paced pavement was approximately 6dB. When evaluating the noise reduction of LNP, it is necessary to use RNV rather than the noise of old pavement. The RNV of GAP is necessary for a relative comparison with LNP and studying the road noise characteristics for each GAP type.

Skid Resistance is a index to represent the friction between tire and road surface, which influences driving safety. Skid resistance varies with the conditions of tire, abrasion of road surface, vehicle speed, drying, wet and freezing condition of road surfaces. Especially, freezing occurs when temperature drops below $0^{\circ}C$ followed by snow or rain causes decrease of skid resistance. To recover the decreased skid resistance deicing work is applied. As a results of deicing works, freezing condition is changed into wet condition. However the wet road surfaces containing the remaining deicings agents may not show the skid resistance of normal wet condition. In this study, skid resistances in the condition of freezing, deicing process and deicing agents remained after snow-removal are evaluated. The test results, skid resistance recover quickly when Pre-wetted salt spreading and NaCl was used as deicing method. Skid resistance of Deicing agents remained on the road surface showed that concrete is higher than asphalt. superior effect. Recovery rate of skid resistance by comparison wet condition is 54~80%.

Black ice is very difficult to recognize and reduces the friction of the road surface, causing automobile accidents. Since black ice is difficult to detect, there is a need for a system that identifies black ice in real time and warns the driver. Various studies have been conducted to prevent black ice on road surfaces, but there is a lack of research on systems that identify black ice in real time and warn drivers. In this paper, an real-time image-based analysis system was developed to identify the condition of asphalt road surface, which is widely used in Korea. For this purpose, a dataset was built for each asphalt road surface image, and then the road surface condition was identified as dry, wet, black ice, and snow using deep learning. In addition, temperature and humidity data measured on the actual road surface were used to finalize the road surface condition. When the road surface was determined to be black ice, the salt spray equipment installed on the road was automatically activated. The surface condition recognition system for the asphalt concrete pavement and black ice automatic prevention system developed in this study are expected to ensure safe driving and reduce the incidence of traffic accidents.

This paper mainly deals with the performance evaluation of 33 asphalt sections of Korea Expressway Corporation Test Road (KECTR) during the past four years. Since the construction of the KECTR in December 2002, key performance indicators of asphalt pavements have been collected five times with an Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN), and have been analyzed for permanent deformation, surface distress, and road roughness. Linear viscoelastic characteristics of four dense graded HMAs used in KECTR were investigated with a series of complex modulus test. The effect of air void in HMAs on dynamic modulus was investigate at two air void contents for a surface course HMA (19 mm Nominal Maximum Size of Aggregate). Layer densification due to traffic was estimated from air void contents of field cored samples, and was correlated with pavement distresses and performances. One of findings of this study was that both permanent deformation and cracking were suspectible to pavement temperatures, rather than traffic. However, it was found that road roughness was mostly affected by traffic loading.

This study investigated the structure of an 8-pole 8-slot linear generator, which acts as an electromagnetic damper by combining the structure of an electromagnetic suspension device capable of generating electrical energy through energy harvesting by absorbing the vibration energy from the road surface while driving. To compare the energy harvesting effect of the electromagnetic suspension according to the actual road surface, a driving road test was simulated for two actual road conditions, an asphalt road surface and unpacked road surface condition, using a civilian combined vehicle model in conjunction with a vehicle simulation program, Carsim and Simulink. As a result, the relative displacements of the suspensions on the asphalt road surface and the unpaved road were 8 mm and 13 mm, respectively. By applying the suspension displacement value derived by modeling the linear generator coupled to the electromagnetic suspension, the simulation was then performed for an analysis time of 0.3s by applying the same analytical conditions using the commercial electromagnetic analysis program, ANSYS MAXWELL, The average power generation on the unpacked roads and asphalt roads was 198.6W and 98.7W respectively, which was 103.7% higher for unpackaged roads. Finally, to compare the sensitivity of the road surface frequency and the suspension input displacement to the power generation output, the sensitivity of the two variables was 1.725 and 1.283, respectively, and the road surface frequency had a 34.5% higher effect on the average power generation.

Porous pavements can provide road users with beneficial characteristics such as skid resistance and surface water drainage under rainy condition, and they cause less tire-road noise than conventional hot mix asphalt(HMA) pavements. However, voids of porous pavements are easily clogged by road debris at early stages, which leads to frequent maintenance works. Therefore, this study focused on the way of minimizing void clogging in porous pavements. During mixture design, the quantity of coarse aggregate has been increased to form many straight void conduits (SVCs) in porous HMAs. These SVCs were found to be effective resisting the void clogging problems. Four different porous HMAs(19mm, 13mm, 10mm, and 8mm) were developed and placed on highway roads. Their performances were validated with field tests during the past four years.
