치수사업에서 실시하는 경제성분석은 계획하고 있는 사업의 사회적 후생의 극대화 측면에서 경제적 타당성을 분석 평가하는 것으로서 일반적으로 편익${\cdot}$비용분석이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 경제성분석시의 문제점으로 직접편익뿐 아니라 간접편익 및 비계량편익에 해당하는 사업의 효과도 편익부분의 계산에 포함할 수 있는 방법이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 홍수에 의한 교통두절로 인한 피해를 간접편익으로 고려하여 오산천지역에 적용해 보았다. 교통두절피해 편익의 항목으로서 주로 차량운행비용 절감과 통행시간비용 절감의 두 항목을 고려하였으며, 이 두 항목에 내한 결과에서 홍수지체시간당(단위 1일당) 적지 않은 편익이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 일반적인 치수사업 경제성분석에서 이뤄지지 않았던 교통두절에 의한 피해항목을 간접편익으로 고려함으로써 홍수로 인한 교통두절피해를 정량적으로 계량할 수 있었으며, 실질적으로 편익에 영향이 가장 큰 편익가치(재화가치, 시간가치)에 대한 연구가 계속적으로 수반된다면 이후의 다른 치수사업 경제성분석시에 효과적인 분석이 이뤄질 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to analysis the impact on the inside of the new city when an incidents occurs on the Songdo International City connecting road, which has a limited access. The analysis data used KTDB's O/D and network data of the Seoul metropolitan area. In addition, the scenario composition applied a method of reducing the number of lanes on the road according to the situation of incidents, targeting bridges advancing from Songdo International City to the outside in the morning peak hours. The analysis method analyzed the traffic volume, total travel time, total travel kilometer, and route change in the new city based on the results of the traffic allocation model. As a result of the analysis, the range of influence was shown to two types. First, of the seven bridges, Aam 3, Aam 2, and Aam 1 were analyzed to have an impact only in some areas of the northwestern part of the new city. On the other hand, the remaining bridges were analyzed to affect the new city as a whole. The analysis results of this study are expected to be used as basic data to establish the scope of internal road network management when similar cases occur in the future.

This paper presents a practical and realistic Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) optimum design methodology for steel bridges considering the long-term effect of environmental stressors such as corrosion and heavy truck traffics on bridge reliability. The LCC functions considered in the LCC optimization consist of initial cost, expected life-cycle maintenance cost, and expected life-cycle rehabilitation costs including repair/replacement costs, loss of contents or fatality and injury losses, road user costs, and indirect socio-economic losses. For the assessment of the life-cycle rehabilitation costs, the annual probability of failure, which depends upon the prior and updated load and resistance histories, should be accounted for. For the purpose, Nowak live load model and a modified corrosion propagation model, which takes into consideration corrosion initiation, corrosion rate, and repainting effect, are adopted in this study. The proposed methodology is applied to the LCC optimum design problem of an actual steel box girder bridge with 3 continuous spans (40m+50m+40m=130m). Various sensitivity analyses are performed to investigate the effects of various design parameters and conditions on the LCC-effectiveness. From the numerical investigation, it has been observed that local corrosion environments and the volume of truck traffic significantly influence the LCC-effective optimum design of steel bridges. Thus, these conditions should be considered as crucial parameters for the optimum LCC-effective design.

It has reported that a median bus-stop island on an exclusive median bus lane (EMBL) has shortened a crossing distance unit, encouraged a pedestrian's illegal crossing, and increased the number of accidents in the area. This study presents (1) the analysis of inappropriate pedestrian crossing patterns collected on exclusive median bus corridors and (2) the estimated performance of safety barriers restraining the occurrence of those. Total 19,649 pedestrian crossing data collected at the 'Sookmyung-university' median bus-stop, and the inappropriate pedestrian crossing patterns among those were grouped in terms of time and space violations. Physical safety barriers restraining illegal pedestrian crossings were considered as an alternative, and its performance in safety was quantified through microscopic simulation with conflict analyses by using surrogate safety assessment model. The findings suggest the number of conflicts reduced be 24.9 percentages compared to the one of the present condition when the physical safety barriers are placed at each of the eight ends of the EMBL pedestrian crossing.

A load effect by vehicles running on a road and an increase of traffic is distinguished as a serious issue in the level of bridges' maintenance and management since it causes a quick damage of bridges. The expansion joint is the most important since it makes vehicles' traveling amicable and stress or additional load harmful to molding patterns minimized. However, it is very difficult to measure its expansion length since vehicles continue to pass on the expansion joint. Therefore, the study could see that it was possible to carry out a qualitative and quantitative maintenance and management if its expansion length is extracted with images. The study could acquire three dimensional coordinates of expansion joints with images. As the results of calculating RMSE of check point residual at 32 points in A area and at 28 points in B area, both A and B areas had very good results of RMSEsms 0.829mm~1.680mm. As the results of analyzing expansion length and immediate value extracted by images, the study analyzed that RMSE of A area was 0.64mm and RMSE of B area was 0.28. The average residual of A area was 0.60% and the average rresidual of B area was 0.27%. Therefore, it is judged that it is more scientific and efficient than the past to measure expansion length with images at the time of repairing and managing bridges in the future.

This paper examines the situation and tasks of UK rail privatization, especially focusing on after the Hatfield rail accident. Earlier research which focused on the UK's Privatization had little knowledge of the explanations for recent changes. Moreover they had difficulty making a direct comparison between national rail and the privatized rail. Therefore we aye left without a good explanation which has a comprehensive perspective. I attempt to show the change in the rail privatization Process and its outcome, focusing on after the Hatfield rail accident. This Paper argues that the UK's vail privatization process has a regulatory framework which is too complicated with overlapping responsibilities that brought about inefficiency, increasing costs and a superficial safety regime. Especially the planning of rail and infrastructure maintenance did not come to play an appropriate role. However after 2000, the government took charge of setting the strategy for railways, and the Office of Rail Regulation covered safety performance and cost. explain that these changes present a good opportunity to solve the problem of passing the buck for poor performance. Through the analysis, I find that the passenger rail network is well-suited to deliver long distance business and commuters and that the subsidy from the government is decreasing. However, performance, for example punctuality and reliability. should be improved. Especially the Hatfield rail accident caused a reduction in the satisfaction of passengers. In future. the problems of rising costs and monopoly franchise system should be addressed.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of LED safety block using the government database. To evaluate these effects, the night accident data was obtained from 2007 to 2011 from the database. At the LED-installed area, compared to the uninstalled area, the number of night traffic accidents, injured and mortality had decreased by 26.2%, 21.2% and 38.3%, respectively. The LED-installed intersections are safer than the LED-uninstalled roads from a traffic accidents perspective. In conclusion, a LED safety block is quite effective in decreasing the number of traffic accidents. Although this study was conducted using the data from Changwon city, where LED safety blocks have been installed so far, these results can provide valuable data to other cities considering the implementation of these LED safety blocks.

As vehicle supply rate increases, traffic jam-related problems emerge and sharing transportation including carpool, centered on the advanced countries, becomes a major interest. This study aims to analyze benefit generated by carpool during the rush hours of medium and long distance travel, focused on the workers of public Agencies relocated to innovation cities. In order to compute benefit, carpool demand of relocated public Agencies was estimated and travel speed was estimated according to reduced traffic volume through carpool adoption using a traffic flow model. The benefit were computed dividing them into direct benefit and indirect benefit. As a result, 23billion KRW and 56.5billion KRW were annually revealed to be generated in terms of direct benefit and indirect benefit. The study result is expected to be used as part of basic research to adopt carpool for future traffic demand management.

With a view to the commercialization of the Korean automatic variable-gauge bogie in the Eurasia railway system, the aim of this research was to perform an economic analysis concerning the possible introduction and operation of this bogie at the present time. For this purpose, we compared the possible types of freight connection service for container transportation, transshipment and the gauge-adjustable system, estimating the total life-cycle cost (LCC) incurred by each system, depending on type and quantity, over the whole process of acquisition, operation, maintenance and disposal. Based on this, we presented a case-by case analysis. Furthermore, in estimating economic feasibility, we analyzed the cost-benefit ratio taking into account not only the objective LCC, but also the reduced time required for the gauge-change and customer convenience. After estimating the LCC and analyzing the cost-benefit ratio of the respective systems, we demonstrated the economic superiority of view of the gauge adjustable system.

최근 기후변화 및 지구온난화의 영향으로 집중호우, 돌발홍수, 가뭄 등 기상 이변이 빈번하게 발생하고 있어 물관리의 불확실성과 복잡성이 매우 높아지고 있다. 대규모 하천의 경우 다목적댐과 다기능보를 이용하여 홍수 및 가뭄에 대응이 비교적 용이하나, 중소하천의 경우 하천길이가 짧고 하천경사가 급해서 홍수파의 이동시간이 짧기 때문에 홍수대비를 위한 시간이 매우 짧다. 또한 중소하천 관리를 담당하는 지자체는 열악한 재정 여건과 전문인력 및 기술력 부족으로 인해 예방보다 사후복구에 집중하는 상황이며, 최근 하천 고수부지를 수변공원, 천변주차장 등으로의 공간적 활용이 증가됨에 따라 홍수발생시 위험성도 증가하고 있어 예방 및 대응 중심의 홍수 모니터링 기준 수립이 시급하다. 이에 K-water는 공익사업의 일환으로 K-water의 홍수 및 하천관리 노하우를 지자체와 공유하고 있다. 해당지자체의 과거 기상 및 수문자료들을 활용하여 홍수분석을 수행하고 지자체 중소하천에 최적화된 우량 및 수위 홍수 모니터링 기준을 수립하여 선제적 홍수대응을 할 수 있는 여건을 조성하였다. 또한 해당지자체의 우량 수위관측소의 분포와 용수전용댐 및 농업용저수지를 반영하여 유역특성을 고려한 홍수분석모형을 구축하였으며, 예상강우에 따른 주요 지점별 예상수위 및 도달시간 분석으로 지자체 담당자의 홍수대응을 지원하고자 한다. 하천 수위국 기준의 우량 알람은 하천 수위 상승 전 예비 알람의 성격으로 수위국의 수위가 상승하기 전 대비할 수 있는 선제적 대응 예방시간 확보에 도움이 될 수 있다. 또한 단계별 수위모니터링 기준에 의거하여 보행자 및 차량 통행제한 등의 조치를 취할 수 있으며, 제방월류 전 사전대응시간을 확보할 수 있어 자자체에서 능동적으며 선제적인 홍수 대응이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 하천 수위국의 상황이 홍수에 따라 변화될 수 있으며, 홍수량 재산정 또는 하천기본 계획의 재수립 등 정책적, 현실적인 상황의 변화로 인해 모니터링 기준이 변화되어야 하는 경우에는 지속적인 보완이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
