In construction industry, project performance should be evaluated in terms of project value objectives, i.e., cost, time, quality, safety, and environment. However, there have been few, if any, systematic approaches in assessing comprehensive performance level which encompasses the whole spectrum of project value objectives. It is non trivial to establish the standardized performance metric system due to the project individualities. This study provides a new approach in assessing the wide variety of project performance types by collecting the real industry project data. In addition, the proposed system has been validated through industry survey on project practitioners. It is concluded that the developed quantitative project performance measurement system would be effectively useful in indicating the level of current status of a particular project and furthermore, to provide a meaningful strategy for the future project in a more sustainable way.

To evaluate bacteriological and toxicological safety hygienic indicator bacterium and paralytic and diarrhetic shellfish toxins in the shellfish produced in Hansan Geojeman 2013-2017 were investigated. Fecal coliforms were < 18~330 MPN/100 g in 404 oyster samples. But all samples tested, did not exceed 230 E. coli MPN/100 g. Geometric mean of E. coli for oyster samples collected during major shellfish production period was 24.3 MPN/100 g, considerde stable results. Bacteriological quality of oysters collected from Hansan Geojeman meets the standard value based on shellfish hygiene of the Food Sanitation Act of Korea and also meets Grade A, according to classification of shellfish harvesting areas of the European Union. For toxicological evaluation of Hansan Geojeman, 532 oyster samples and 268 mussel samples as an indicator, were analyzed. Paralytic shellfish toxins were detected in the range of 0.42~2.29 mg/kg in eight mussel samples, and exceeded criteria in three samples from early to late April 2013. Diarrhetic shellfish toxin was detected in three of 120 samples, but it was revealed to be under regulation value (0.16 mg Okadaic Acid equ./kg). As a result of toxicological evaluation, paralytic and diarrhetic shellfish toxins were not detected in oyster samples, but it was found that mussel as an indicator species, exceeded the threshold value of paralytic shellfish toxin. Accordingly, sanitary surveys were continuously requested for food safety management of shellfish.

국내에서는 수자원 정보화 사업에 일환으로 국가수자원종합정보시스템(WAMIS)을 개발하여 수자원에 관련된 많은 기초 자료 정보를 일반에 공개 제공하고 있으나, 주 이용 계층은 수자원관련 종사자 또는 연구자들이 대부분이다. 국가수자원종합정보시스템에서 제공하는 양질의 수자원 정보를 일반 국민들이 보다 쉽게 이해하고, 이용할 수 있도록 국내에서는 이들 기초자료를 바탕으로 다양한 수자원 지표 및 지수를 개발하였다. 이러한 수자원 관련 지표 및 지수를 개발하기 위해서는 서로 다른 단위와 특성을 가진 자료들을 모아 하나의 지표로 정의하는 과정이 필요하며, 하나의 지표로 정의되기 위해서는 반드시 표준화(normalization)과정이 필요하다. 국내에서 가장 보편적으로 사용하고 있는 방법은 Z-score법이며, 이외에도 가장 단순하고 간단한 방법인 Ranking 법, 자료의 극값(최대값, 최소값)을 이용하는 Re-scaling법, 일정 지표를 기준으로 하는 Distance to a reference country법 등이 있다. 표준화 방법은 각기 다른 장 단점을 가지고 있으며, 그 특성에 따라 정의되는 지표값은 다르게 나타날 수 있기에 지수값의 변화를 야기시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기 개발된 물이용안전성지수를 이용하여 기존 분석과 다양한 표준화 방법을 이용하여 지표를 산정하였을 때 표준화 방법에 따른 변화를 분석해 보고자 한다. 기존 연구에서 사용된 표준화 방법은 Z-score법이며, 다른 표준화 방법을 적용해 봄으로서 기존 산정 결과와의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 지수를 구성하는 세부지표에 따라 수집되는 기초자료의 단위 및 특성은 다양하기 때문에 적합한 표준화 방법을 찾는 과정은 매우 중요하며, 이는 지표를 보다 정확하게 산정할 수 있도록 한다. 합리적인 표준화 방법을 통해 올바른 지수를 도출할 수 있고 객관적으로 수자원 환경을 평가할 수 있으며, 또한 수자원 계획 및 정책 개발에 있어 중요한 기준으로서 적용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes an assessment method using probability-based index for safe and successful underwater docking of autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs) to the docking stations(DSs). The proposed method assesses the probability of docking according to the degree to which the state of the AUV is consistent with the state criteria for docking. The assessment is performed within a specific area considering the kinematic constraints and docking plans of the AUV. The assessment process is defining probability density function, calculating probabilities for reaching the docking station according to the difference to position and heading criteria, and computing the probability-based index in real-time. We verify the validity of the proposed method through analyzing the data acquired on operation test.

In the revised 2019 Guidelines for Facility Safety and Maintenance, the existing safety-oriented facility evaluations have expanded from performance evaluations to added durability and serviceability. This expansion reflects the life cycle of facilities and the service abilities of facilities, which are becoming a global issue. However, since the performance evaluation of facilities is linked to repairing and reinforcement, the related researches such as the correlation of each performance and the target performance related to the decision on priority are necessary. In this study, through the analysis of historical data of existing facility safety evaluation results centered on the retaining earth wall installed in domestic road facilities, the appropriate target performance was suggested for the maintenance of the facility based on the revised performance evaluation. Also, the performances on the actual two retaining walls were evaluated for example and analyzed the verification of the target performance. Besides, new indicators were presented to add serviceability to the performance evaluation of retaining earth walls consisting of safety and durability.

A traffic accident prediction model developed using various design variables(road design variables, geometric variables, and traffic environmental variables) is one of the most important factors to safety design evaluation system for roads. However, statistical accident models have a crucial problem not applicable for all intersections. To make up this problem, this study developed AMFs(Accident Modification Factors) through statistical modeling methods, historical accident databases, judgment from traffic experts, and literature review by considering design variable's characteristics, traffic accident rates, and traffic accident frequency. AMFs developed in this study include exclusive left-turn lane, exclusive right-turn lane, sight distance, and intersection angle. Predictabilities of the developed AMFs and the existing accident prediction models are compared with real accident historical data. The results showed that performances of the developed AMFs are superior to the existing statistical accident prediction models. These findings show that AMFs should be considered as a important process to develop safety design evaluation algorithms. Additionally, AMFs could be used as an index that can judge the impact of corresponding design variables on accidents in rural intersections.

A Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (CITS) provides useful information on upcoming hazards in order to prevent vehicle collisions. In addition, the availability of individual vehicle travel information obtained from the CITS infrastructure allows us to identify the level of road safety in real time and based on analysis of the indicators representing the crash potential. This study proposes a methodology to derive road safety content, and presents evaluation results for its applicability in practice, based on simulation experiments. Both jerk and Stopping Distance Index (SDI) were adopted as safety indicators and were further applied to derive road section safety information. Microscopic simulation results with VISSIM show that 5% and 20% samples of jerk and SDI are sufficient to represent road safety characteristics for all vehicles. It is expected that the outcome of this study will be fundamental to developing a novel and valuable system to monitor the level of road safety in real time.

물관리 일원화, 물관리기본법 제정·시행 등 우리나라 물관리 체계의 혁신기에 정책의 구심점 역할을 수행할 통합 물관리 전략 마련이 요구됨에 따라, 최근 관계부처 합동으로 「제1차 국가물관기본계획(2021~2030)」을 수립하여 공표·발간되었다. 국가물관리기본계획에서는 유역단위의 물관리를 원칙(12대 기본원칙 중(中))로 하며, 물관리 3대분야(수질·수생태, 이수, 치수)에 대한 추진전략을 수립하였다. 또한, 지속가능한 물관리 체계를 구축하기 위해 추진전략별 주요 관리지표를 설정하였으며, 이를 통해 물관리 방향을 정립하고 분야별 관련 및 하위계획과의 일관성·정합성을 유지하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 추진전략별 주요 관리지표 중, 유역 재해안전도와 관련하여 하천범람에 대한 기존의 치수안전도의 한계점을 검토하고 유역단위의 치수관리 현황을 평가 할 수 있는 방안을 마련하고자 하였다. 과거 유역종합치수계획에서의 치수안전도는 홍수피해잠재능(PFD)을 적용하여 등급별 홍수방어대책 수립방향 및 하천의 설계빈도 조정을 검토하였으며, 홍수피해잠재능(PFD)의 실무적 적용 어려움(산정인자 다(多)), 설계빈도와의 연계성 부족, 치수단위구역의 공간적 정확성 미흡 등에 대한 개선·보완의 의견이 제기되어 왔다. 또한, 유역내 전체하천이 아닌 주요 하천을 대상으로만 치수안전도 설정하여 유역단위의 치수관리에 한계가 있으며, 하천 전체구간의 설계빈도 상향에 따른 홍수방어대책이 비경제적인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 기존의 치수안전도의 한계점을 개선하기 위하여 홍수피해잠재능(PFD)의 산정인자 단순화, 홍수위험지도를 활용을 통한 치수단위구역의 공간적 정확도 향상 및 치수단위구역별 설계빈도 조정 가능 등의 개선방안을 검토하였으며, 빈도별 치수단위구역의 홍수피해잠재능(PFD)의 통계적 특성 분석을 통해 등급 설정 및 설계빈도 조정 기준을 제시하였다. 그리고 유역내 전체하천에 대한 치수단위구역별 치수안전도를 설정하고, 중권역 단위의 치수안전도를 평가하여 유역단위의 치수관리 현황을 정량적으로 제시함에 유역 재해안전도로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Interest in freeway truck traffic has increased largely due to greater safety concerns regarding truck-related crashes. The negative interactions between slow-moving trucks and other vehicles are a primary cause of hazardous conditions, which lead to crashes with larger speed variations. To improve operational efficiency and safety, providing a climbing lane that separates slow-moving trucks from higher performance vehicles is frequently considered when upgrading geometrics. This study developed an operations strategy for freeway climbing lanes based on traffic conditions in real time. To consider traffic safety when designing a dynamic strategy to determine whether a climbing lane is closed or open, various factors, including the level of service (LOS) and the percentage of trucks, are investigated through microscopic simulations. A microscopic traffic simulator, VISSIM, was used to simulate freeway traffic streams and collect vehicle-maneuvering data. Additionally, an external application program interface, VISSIM's COM-interface, was used to implement the proposed climbing lane operations strategies. Surrogate safety measures (SSM), including the frequency of rear-end conflicts and, were used to quantitatively evaluate the traffic safety using an analysis of individual vehicle trajectories obtained from VISSIM simulations with various operations scenarios. It is expected that the proposed algorithm can be the backbone for operating the climbing lane in real time for safer traffic management.
