  • In Korea, about 60 percent of railroad accidents are associated with highway-rail grade crossings numbering 1,657 nationwide, which the railroad system operates. To reduce the number of accidents, the authority formulated methods to improve or eliminate grade crossings. However, the improvement programs have made progress in slow time due to the institute inertia and the lack of funds from the municipal government, which shares the cost of improvement of grade crossings. Thus, this study analyses the institute system of the grade crossings, proposes modifications, and suggests financing methods to improve the grade crossings and to lower the number of accidents. Presently, the grade crossings safety perspective is directed towards road conditions and so a new perspective, which includes safety from the train perspective and to finance in review of railway system and to allocate the cost between the central government and the municipal governments. is discussed.

  • 본 연구에서는 도로투자 사업으로 인한 편익 중 일반적으로 계상하고 있는 통행시간 절감 및 차량운행비용 절감 등 직접적인 편익 이외에 추가적으로 이용자입장에서 체감할 수 있는 도로 주행 중 운전쾌적성 편익을 산정하고자 운전쾌적성의 정의를 마련하였고 운전쾌적성 산정방법론을 개발하였다. 도로특성(도시부/지방부) 및 차량 밀도(차간거리)에 따른 이용자의 지불용의액을 CVM 방법 중 가장 최근에 활발히 활용되고 있는 이중양분선택형(double-bounded dichotomous choice)질문법을 활용하여 설문조사한 후 그 결과를 로짓모형에 적용하여 운전쾌적성 가치를 도출하였다. 도시부 및 지역간 도로에서 공히 지불용의액의 크기는 전반적으로 기존 차간거리가 짧을수록 큰 것으로 분석되었고, 도로의 차간거리 변화가 같더라도 사업 전의 차간거리와 사업 후의 차간거리에 따라 지불용의액이 다른 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 도로의 차간거리가 증가하더라도 기존 차간거리가 어느 정도인지에 따라 지불용의액이 다르게 나타나 지불용의액이 기존 차간거리에 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • 도로개선사업의 타당성 분석을 위해 장래 수요추정은 필수적이며, 이는 사업 여부를 결정하는데 있어서 핵심적 사안이 되지만 현재 장래 수요추정에 적용되는 4단계 수요예측모형은 장래 고정된 기종점통행량을 이용하여 경로 전환된 통행량에 대해서만 분석할 뿐, 교통시스템의 향상으로 인해 추가로 발생되는 수요(유발통행수요-Induced Highway Travel Demand 또는 잠재수요-Latent Demand)는 충분히 고려되지 않고 있어 정확성에 대한 의심의 여지가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 교통수요가 결정되는 원리와 유사한 경제학 이론을 적용한 유발통행수요 추정모형과 광범위한 분석에 적용할 수 있는 유발통행수요 추정프로그램(I.D.A)을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 구축된 모형을 통해 서울시 강변북로 일부구간의 도로개선에 따른 유발통행수요를 추정한 결과. 추정된 유발통행수요는 경로전환수요의 15% 정도인 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 유발통행수요가 존재할 것으로 확신되는 사업에 대한 유발통행수요를 계량적으로 추정하여 도로개선의 타당성분석결과에 대한 신뢰성을 보다 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Geosynthetics are commonly used for filtering, layer separations, drainages, cutoffs, and reinforcements. In highway constructions, geotextile mats have been used for the purposes of vehicle trafficability, separations and embankment reinforcements. Geosynthetics are utilized as prefabricated vertical drains and also used as horizontal drainage layers substituted for the sand mat. Geogrids, essential element of reinforced retaining walls, are sometimes spread under the highway pavement. Besides various usage mentioned above, many type of them are also used as drainage of backfill in culverts and bridge abutments. In this paper, problems of specifications and regulations concerning mostly used geotextiles are specifically dealt with from the practical aspects of field engineering and efforts are given upon improvement of them. Especially, relevant sections of "Standard Specifications for the Highway Construction by Korea Highway Corporation"are being revised and these are introduced in detail.

  • This study was promoted to prepare an ESG-oriented work system for Korea Expressway Corporation through sustainable highway construction, IOT-based smart highway preparation, and establishment of a broad convergence business governance system between multiple ministries and implementing entities. Based on the 2nd Basic Plan for Landscape Policy (2020~2024) and the Public Design Promotion Act (2018~2022), the study was conducted through the improvement of the highway design method to be applied for four years from 2021 to 2024, the changes in construction and social conditions related to expressways, the analysis of policies and plans to secure consistency with the 'Korean New Deal', and the analysis of the project performance and work promotion system that the Korea Expressway Corporation's business execution organization has promoted together with each government department. The results of this research are expected to help the Korea Expressway Corporation establish the 21st Innovation Plan for the phased construction of a "100-years landscape with people" and the preparation of a sustainable future highway environment creation project for the lives and safety of the people.

  • This study was conducted to develop a methodology to predict utility pole accident rates and to evaluate cost-effectiveness for safety improvement for utility pole accidents. The utility pole accident rate prediction model was based on the encroachment rate approach introduced in the Transportation Research Board Special Report 214. The utility pole accident rate on a section of highway depends on the roadside encroachment rate and the lateral extent of encroachment. The encroachment rate is influenced by the horizontal and vertical alignment of the highway as well as traffic volume and mean speed. The lateral extent of encroachment is affected by the horizontal and vertical alignment, the mean speed and the roadside slope. An analytical method to generate the probability distribution function for the lateral extent of encroachment was developed for six kinds of encroachment types by the horizontal alignment and encroachment direction. The encroachment rate was calibrated with the information on highway and roadside conditions and the utility pole accident records collected on the sections of 55mph speed limit of the State Trunk Highway 12 in Wisconsin. The encroachment rate on a tangent segment was calibrated as a function of traffic volume with the actual average utility pole accident rates by traffic volume strategies. The adjustment factors for horizontal and vertical alignment were then derived by comparing the actual average utility pole accident rates to the estimations from the model calibrated for tangent and level sections. A computerized benefit-cost analysis procedure was then developed as a means of evaluating alternative countermeasures. The program calculates the benefit-cost ratio and the percent of reduction of utility pole accidents resulting from the implementation of a safety improvement. This program can be used to develop safety improvement: alternatives for utility pole accidents when a predetermined performance level is specified.

  • PURPOSES : The purpose of this system (Rear Lighting System) is to provide illumination for the driver to operate the commercial vehicle safely after dark in highway, to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle, and especially be suggesting the finest observable improvement method, depending on color and pattern of rear lighting system of truck for midnight highway traffic. METHODS : Rear lightning system as an improving way for forward commercial vehicles lighting the securing sight from human factors and the surrounding environment in midnight driving. For this one, basic materials were collected from the data analysis about many types of problems, and filed investigation for establishing Driving Simulator. also taking statistic test to human volunteers after finding recognizable distance of them. RESULTS : As a result, color with the highest visuality is amber followed by green-red-blue as in order for all road types. Especially almost no difference is found between red and green, also when the light is turn off, recognizable distances is wide difference compared to turn on the light. One more thing about study per pattern, upper and entire lighting have similar recognizable distances, but under lighting shows short distance with difficulty securing sight from medians. And straight section shows similar recognizable distances. By finding visuality improvement method depending on color and pattern of supplement taillight, it is expected to suggest quantitative judgement standard for introducing regulation and improvement of supplement taillight. CONCLUSIONS : Night time vehicle conspicuity to the rear is provided by rear position lamps. this study is showed that the color of light ramp is not important to be safe driving, most important is to turn on the light, recognizable distances is big different compared to turn off the rear light, so when the drivng dark in highway, have to turn on the light for reducing risk.
