The exposed aggregate PCC(EAP) pavements have been successfully used in Europe and Japan as low-noise pavements. Coarse aggregate are exposed on the pavement surface texture of EAP by removing mortar of surface. The pavement surface texture should maintain not only low-noise characteristic but also adequate skid resistance level during the performance period. Skid resistance decreased with wearing and polishing of tire and pavement surface due to the repetition of tire-pavement contact. Since the tires mainly contact the exposed coarse aggregate, the shape and rock type of coarse aggregate significantly influence wearing and polishing of EAP pavements. The test for resistance to abrasion coarse aggregate by use of the Los Angeles machine(KS F 2508) and the method of test for resistance to abrasion coarse aggregate by use of the Accelerated Polishing Machine(ASTM D 3319-90) are generally used to evaluate polishing characteristics of aggregate. In this study, polishing of coarse aggregate of different five rock types were evaluated by KS F 2508(LA abrasion test) and ASTM D 3319-90(PSV method). The results of LA abrasion test and PSV method were contrary to each other. Since LA abrasion test is estimated the quantity of abrasion by the impact of aggregate, it may not be adequate to evaluate the polishing of aggregate by the repetition of tire. In the case of PSV method, the resistance of polishing is estimated the skid resistance variation of polished aggregate after repetition of tire. The PSV method is adequate for the evaluation on polishing of coarse aggregate. From the test results of PSV method, it was founded that rock type, specific gravity, coarse aggregate angularity, flat or elongated particles in coarse aggregate are significant to the resistance characteristic of coarse aggregate.

This study is analyzed by stress contour of automotive tire at contact on road surface. Maximum equivalent stress as 61200Pa is shown on the lower mid part in case of tire contacted on road surface. As the air pressure of tire increases, maximum total deformation as 5mm is shown on the side part of tire. It can be shown that the side part of tire is unstabilized. There is no load effect on tire at its upper and lower directions. When the moment applied on the side of tire is increased 1.4 times as its value, the value of maximum principal stress is increased 1.4 times. The stress at the tire is in proportion to the moment applied on the its side. The tire tends to incline toward its side by this moment.

For the stress and vibration analysis of vehicle component by computer simulation, it is necessary to find the forces acting on the vehicle components due to the road profile undulation. A precise modeling of tires is not easy due to nonlinear effects between tire-ground. In this study, a new method is proposed to regenerate road profiles that preserves the same PSD of wheel with a linear tire model. Using the frequency response function between road-wheel , the digital signal processing method, and DADS program , road profile is regenerated from the computer simulation.

In this study, the tire road friction estimation(TRFE) algorithm for controlling the rear wheel driving force of a 4WD vehicle during acceleration is developed using a standard sensor in an ordinary 4WD passenger car and a speed sensor. The algorithm is constructed for the wheel shaft torque, longitudinal tire force, vertical tire force and maximum tire road friction estimation. The estimation results of shaft torque and tire force were validated using a torque sensor and wheel force transducer. In the algorithm, the current road friction is defined as the proportion calculated between longitudinal and vertical tire force. Slip slop methods using current road friction and slip ratio are applied to estimate the road friction coefficient. Based on this study's results, the traction performance, fuel consumption and drive shaft strength performance of a 4WD vehicle are improved by applying the tire road friction estimation algorithm.

Skid resistance is an important factor that control braking distance and secure safety by preventing slipperiness between tire and pavement surface. Decrease of skid resistance at wet condition may cause fatal traffic accidents. Dirt materials such as sand and do-icings on the road surface also can be a factor for decrease skid resistance. This study makes an investigation into influence of skid resistance between varied cement concrete pavements about surface texturing method(transverse tining, longitudinal tining, exposed aggregate surface texturing method) and wearing condition of pavement surface texture(new constructed pavement's surface, wore pavement's surface) using accelerate concrete pavement wearing tester when remains of dirt material are obtained between tire and road surface on PCC pavement. As dirt material on road surface of concrete pavement, sand, calcium chloride and old oil were used with different amount of each cases.

In this paper, numerical analysis method to perform linear dynamic analysis of bridge considering the road surface roughness and bridge-vehicle interaction when vehicle is moving on bridge is presented. The vehicle and bridge are modeled as three-dimension where contact length of tire and pitching of tandem spring are considered and single truck with 2-axles and 3- axles, and tractor-trailer with 5-axles are modeled as 7-D.O.F., 8-D.O.F., and 14-D.O.F., respectively. Dynamic equations of vehicle are derived from the Lagrange's equation and solution of the equation is obtained by Newmark-${\beta}$ method. The surface roughness of bridge deck for this analysis is generated from power spectral density (PSD) function. Beam element for the main girder, shell element for concrete deck and rigid link between main girder and concrete deck are used. The equations of the motion of bridges are solved by mode-superposition procedures. The proposed procedure is validated by comparing the results with the experimental data by Whittemore and Fenves.

Vehicle behavior is determined by forces and a torques generated at the ground contact surface of the tire. Various tire models are used to calculate the forces and torques acting on the tire. The brush model calculates the forces and torques with fewer coefficients than other tire models. However, owing to fewer degrees of freedom in calculating the forces, this model has limitations in precisely expressing measured data. In this study, this problem was addressed by adding the least parameters to the friction coefficient and tire properties of the brush model, and the proposed model was validated.

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.

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.
