This paper examined the changes of urban system through the network and the flow pattern reflected in daily movement in Korea. Because daily movement reflects trip pattern, urban system formed by inter-city linkages can be recognized in terms of living sphere. While population movements between cities have the number of linkage systems of city network and the number of traffic regions composed of the origin and destination has increased respectively. Nevertheless, spatial extent of Capital region and Busan region has been expanded. In Gangwon-do in which Seoul-oriented high-speed transportation network has developed, separation of living sphere between Yeongdong area and the Soyanggang cultural region formed around Chuncheon was intensified. Living sphere that includes Daejeon and the surrounding cities has been expanded to the southern Gyeonggi-do. The existing living sphere formed in Jeollanam-do was fragmented into the east and west around Mokpo and Suncheon due to the weakened centrality of Gwangju. Living spheres formed by spatial interaction were consistent with regional administrative boundary. Considering the increased interaction between Seoul and its surrounding cities, the development of global city-region centered on Seoul is expected.

Traffic accident at intersections takes 44.3% of total number of accidents on entire road network of Korea in 2014. Although several studies addressed contributory factors of accidents at signalized intersection, very few is known about the factors at rural unsignalized intersections. The objective of this study is therefore to investigate specific characteristics of crashes at rural unsignalized intersection and to identify contributory factors in causing crashes by statistical approach using the Ordered Logistic Regression Model. The results show that main type of car crashes at unsignalized intersection during the daytime is T-bone crashes and the number of crashes at 4-legged intersections are 1.53 times more than that at 3-legged intersections. Most collisions are caused by negligence of drivers and violation of Right of Way. Based upon the analysis, accident severity is modeled as classified by two types such as 3-legged intersection and 4-legged intersection. It shows that contributory factors in causing crashes at rural unsignalized intersections are poor sight distance problem, average daily traffic, time of day(night, or day), angle of intersection, ratio of heavy vehicles, number of traffic violations at intersection, and number of lanes on minor street.

Very-early strength latex-modified concrete (VES-LMC) was developed with a focus on workability, strength development and long-term durability that would allow for opening a bridge to traffic only 3 hours after concrete placement, which would be useful when repairing concrete bridge deck overlays. However, even though usage of latex in VES-LMC improves the durability, it has a disadvantage that it produces lots of entrained air. Therefore, specific plan is necessary since it is weak for freezing and thawing in air-void structure. In the present study ultra-fine fly ash (UFFA) was used. Test results are follows ; Air content of VES-LMC UFFA (VES-LMC using UFFA) concrete was decreased since major pozzolan reaction was happened in one day. It was also found that total air content of concrete was decreased with pozzolan reaction since air content in 28 days was the same with one day air content. The addition of calcium hydroxide increased entrained air which is smaller than size of 200 ${\mu}m$. It was effective to improve the air-void structure of VES-LMC since spacing factor can be confirmed as smaller than size of 200 ${\mu}m$ using more than 15% of UFFA.

To decide the number of road lane is very important and related to the 30th design hourly factor in the design of transportation facilities. But, as the quantitative division of road types is difficult, most planner and designer for deciding the 30th design hourly factors have used the fixed values in our country. In this study, we have analyzed the time series property of the design hourly factors in national highways and developed the model capable of estimating the 30th design hourly factors using real data. The presented model is a simple regression model(DHV = K*AADT), which is applied to the division of road lanes(2 or 4 lanes) and the level of AADT(3 levels). As a results, the simple regression model have better performance than the existing method with respect to MAPE and $R^2$. Also, the variations of the 30th design hourly factors are small. The more traffic volume increase, the more the factors decrease. But, the limitation of this study is to use the exiting method estimating the values of the factors, it is subject to study hereafter.

In the past 10 years, the accidents caused by drowsy driving have occupied about 23% of all traffic accidents in Korea expressway network and this rate is the highest one among all accident causes. Unlike other types of accidents caused by speeding and distraction to the road, the accidents by drowsy driving should be managed differently because the drowsiness might not be controlled by human's will. To reduce the number of accidents caused by drowsy driving, researchers previously focused on the spot based analysis. However, what we actually need is a segment (link) and occurring time based analysis, rather than spot based analysis. Hence, this research performs initial effort by adapting link concept in terms of drowsy driving on highway. First of all, we analyze the accidents caused by drowsy in historical accident data along with their road environments. Then, links associate with driving time are analyzed using digital tachograph (DTG) data. To carry this out, negative binomial regression models, which are broadly used in the field, including highway safety manual, are used to define the relationship between the number of traffic accidents on expressway and drivers' behavior derived from DTG. From the results, empirical Bayes (EB) and potential for safety improvement (PSI) analysis are performed for potential risk segments of accident caused by drowsy driving on the future. As the result of traffic accidents caused by drowsy driving, the number of the traffic accidents increases with increase in annual average daily traffic (AADT), the proportion of trucks, the amount of DTG data, the average proportion of speeding over 20km/h, the average proportion of deceleration, and the average proportion of sudden lane-changing.

기존 과속단속카메라의 한계와 더불어 차량의 속도 거동이 더욱 순화될 필요가 제기됨에 따라 국내에서는 2007년 12월 16일 영동고속도로 둔내터널에서 처음 구간과속단속시스템을 도입하였다. 현재 고속국도 6개소를 포함하여 총 8개소에서 구간과속단속시스템을 운영하고 있다. 하지만 해당 시스템의 도입효과가 명확하지 않아 시스템의 효과에 대한 의문도 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국 Los Alamos연구에서 개발된 TRANSIMS(TRansportation Analysis and SIMulation System)의 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용해 시스템 적용 전 후의 거시적 교통류 특성을 수집하여 효과에 대하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 구간과속단속시스템의 효과를 분석하기 임의의 네트워크를 제작하여 모의실험을 해 보았다. 네트워크는 총 연장 12km의 직선형 구간으로 제작하였다. 모의실험에 사용되는 링크의 Cell크기는 3m로 설정하여 TRANSIMS의 내정값인 7.5m보다 더욱 상세한 결과가 나오도록 설정하였다. 링크는 편도 3차로로 설정하여 모의실험을 실시하였으며, 구간단속이 미치는 영향을 실제와 유사하게 적용하기위해 모의실험을 하는 링크의 제한속도를 구간단속 실시 전에는 160km/h, 실시 후에는 100km/h로 설정하였다. 구간단속 실시 전 링크의 제한속도를 160km/h로 높게 설정한 것은 실제 통행이 발생하는 속도를 구현하기위해서이며, 차종별 최대 속도를 제한하여 속도분포를 나타내었다. TRANSIMS를 통한 구간과속단속시스템의 효과를 분석하는 모의실험 결과 그림 1의 그래프에서 나타나는 것과 같이 구간단속 전 후에서 속도저감효과가 나타나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 특히, 교통류율이 낮을 때 속도가 높게 나타나던 부분이 구간단속 실시 후 속도가 낮아지는 것을 보아 실제로 교통류율이 낮은 고속국도에서는 높은 효과를 기대할 수 있다고 판단된다. 표 1에서 구간단속 전 후의 주행차량의 속도변화를 살펴보면 과속운행의 비율이 상당히 주는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 특성 때문에 교통량이 비교적 적은 고속국도에서는 뛰어난 효과를 발휘할 것이라고 예상된다.

According to the local highway tunnel ventilation guideline, ventilation capacity calculation should be performed at the speed ranging from 10 km/h to 80 km/h. This is so reasonable method considering uncongested and congested traffic conditions in urban tunnels. But recently due to low traffic volume and very low congestion frequency in rural highway tunnels, it seems to be an inadequate way to apply the guideline. Therefore the calculation should be performed separately for the free flow and congested traffic cases classified by the appropriate decision model. This paper aims at determining unnecessary running speed range for reasonable tunnel ventilation design, considering free flow and congested traffic conditions. Firstly, traffic volumes in highway tunnels were collected and if any, the causes of congestion were investigated. And with concept of 'margin speed'($u-u_m$), the decision model on traffic congestion was developed. Applicability of the decision model was also analyzed with case study. According to the results, when design speed is 100 km/h, with V/C less than 0.1, then the range of unnecessary speed in tunnel ventilation design is less than 40 km/h; for $V/C{\leqq}0.35$, $V/C{\leqq}0.6$ and $V/C{\leqq}0.75$, the unnecessary speed ranges are found to be ${\leqq}30$, ${\leqq}20$ and ${\leqq}10km/h$, respectively.

The expressway of the Korea has an important role in freight movement because 76 percent of the commodity is transported by trucks. However, there has been few indices on the role of expressways regarding freight transportation and truck traffic. The objective of this study is to propose four freight transportation related indices using ITS-related system such as TCS and HS-Wim: total truck's travel miles ($veh{\cdot}km/year$), total freight transport miles ($ton{\cdot}km/year$). efficiency of truck's travel ($veh{\cdot}km/km$), and efficiency of freight movement ($ton{\cdot}km/km$). These truck and freight related indices were estimated and compared by two different data sources: traffic volume data using VDS and OD data using TCS. These indices were designed to estimated on real time and updated every day and month.

Previous studies have estimated crash prediction models with the fixed effect model which assumes the fixed value of coefficients without considering characteristics of each intersections. However the fixed effect model would estimate under estimation of the standard error resulted in over estimation of t-value. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the random effect model can be used with considering heterogeneity of AADT, geometric information and unobserved factors. In this study, data collections from 89 intersections in Daejeon and estimates of crash prediction models were conducted using the random and fixed effect negative binomial regression model for comparison and analysis of two models. As a result of model estimates, AADT, speed limits, number of lanes, exclusive right turn pockets and front traffic signal were found to be significant. For comparing statistical significance of two models, the random effect model could be better statistical significance with -1537.802 of log-likelihood at convergence comparing with -1691.327 for the fixed effect model. Also likelihood ration value was computed as 0.279 for the random effect model and 0.207 for the fixed effect model. This mean that the random effect model can be improved for statistical significance of models comparing with the fixed effect model.
