Project Financing(PF) was introduced from the way of banks' conditional financing that take buried oil as security and offer required money to oil explores which have weak loaning ability in the U.S. 1930s. After that PF has developed with financial market and it has been activated in the market of Korea since 'An Institution about Private Financing Invitation Promotion' was established. Started with I-Hwa Ryoung tunnel project, PF has been used in the Metropolitan Area Airport Highway and etc. But because of the risk that occurred by PF's complexity and uncertainty, PF has not been used fully and there are only few practical examples. The purpose of the present study is to investigate how to decrease, identify and extract the risky factors of project that being planned by PF.

The research investigates for the relationship between the operating performances of the make-ready process and project production performance. To this end, the researchers proposed a metric of PCR (Percentage of Constraint Removal) to measure the make-ready performance. The study measured the production performance in two ways: production planning reliability and progress performance. We hypothesized that how well the make-ready process is performed has an impact on the degree of production performance. The statistical analyses are used to investigate that how operating performance of the make-ready process affects project production performance. The results of the regression analysis support our hypotheses (p<0.25) and correlation coefficients for the relationship between project production performance and make-ready performance are also significant (p<0.05).

도로의 경우, 서비스 수준은 A에서 F까지로 구분되어 있다. (도로용량 편람, 건교부). 장래 도로시설 계획 시, 시간당 교통량과 용량을 기준으로 하여 고속도로의 경우 서비스 수준 C를, 국도의 경우 D를 목표로 삼고 있는 실정이다. LOS C의 경우 용량의 약 75%수준에 해당되는 수준이다. 하지만, 철도의 경우는 현재까지 서비스 수준에 대한 개념이 정리되어 있지 못하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 철도시설 계획 시에는 하루수요를 사용하고 있으며, 구체적인 서비스 수준을 고려하고 있지 못한 실정이다. 철도의 계획 시 용량과 서비스 수준은 결국 운영자와 승객의 입장에서 어느 정도의 철도서비스를 제공할 것인지에 대한 공감대를 형성하는 매우 중요한 사항임에도 불구하고, 명시적으로 서비스 수준을 고려하지 못하고 있는 현실이다. 또한 사용자의 수요의 발현도 결국은 철도서비스의 질에 달려 있는 점을 고려하면 철도서비스 수준을 명시적으로 고려하는 게 기대할 수 있는 수요를 정확하게 계산할 수 있도록 해 줄 것이다.

PURPOSES : This study aims to improve complex modeling of multivariable, nonlinear, and overdispersion data with an artificial neural network that has been a problem in the civil and transport sectors. METHODS: Deep learning, which is a technique employing artificial neural networks, was applied for developing a large bus fuel consumption model as a case study. Estimation characteristics and accuracy were compared with the results of conventional multiple regression modeling. RESULTS : The deep learning model remarkably improved estimation accuracy of regression modeling, from R-sq. 18.76% to 72.22%. In addition, it was very flexible in reflecting large variance and complex relationships between dependent and independent variables. CONCLUSIONS : Deep learning could be a new alternative that solves general problems inherent in conventional statistical methods and it is highly promising in planning and optimizing issues in the civil and transport sectors. Extended applications to other fields, such as pavement management, structure safety, operation of intelligent transport systems, and traffic noise estimation are highly recommended.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause (70%) of children injury and fatality. 98% of Children under the age of 9 who came to emergency room with a traffic accident are not seated in CRS. Reduction in mortality when using CRS (NHTSA study), 71% for infants of 1-2 years old, 54% for 3-6 years old and 7-12 years old. It is very important and essential to use CRS for child passenger safety. But in Korean market, the CRS fitment rate is relatively low (20~40%). For European market, at the start of 2013, Euro NCAP started to check how easy it is to install the most common seats. And US market, NHTSA is planning a new consumer information program of CRS fitment for near future. This study examines CRS installation performance of 3 vehicles which are produced by GM Korea and 21 CRS which are based on sales volume in Korean market. Purpose of this study is to identify both vehicle and CRS design that causes bad interaction for CRS installation.

In the United States, the Safety Rest Areas (SRAs) were introduced as highway roadside infrastructures in the early 1900s. The State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) operate/maintain their SRAs using different methods. The Washington DOT used the in-house workforce method for over 20 years, whereas some states moved to Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) from the in-house workforce to save cost primarily. Several existing studies claimed that using the PBC approach saved costs on several highway assets. Thus, the principal objective of this study is to compute and compare the unit operating/maintenance cost of SRAs using the in-house workforce method (in Washington state) with the PBC approach (in other states). The findings of this study show that the average annual cost using the PBC approach was much more than the average annual cost using the in-house workforce approach. The findings also show that in Washington state, the 'Labor Cost' category was a key expenditure, which is statistically higher than other categories. The 'Labor Cost' was followed by the 'Other Services', and then 'Materials and Supplies' and 'Equipment.' The study's findings indicated that outsourcing does not always save costs for agencies. The study findings may help transportation construction/maintenance professionals select a cost-effective approach for their future planning.

Typical highway infrastructure systems include roadway pavement, drainage systems, tunneling, and other hardware components such as guardrails, traffic signs, and lighting. Tunnels in a highway system have provided significant advantages to overcoming various natural challenges including crossing underneath bodies of water or through mountainous areas. While only a few tunnel failure cases have been reported, the failure rate is likely to increase as these assets age and because agencies have not emphasized tunneling asset management. A tunnel system undergoes a deterioration life cycle pattern that is similar to other infrastructure systems. There are very few agencies in the United States implementing comprehensive tunnel asset management programs. While current tunnel asset management programs focus on inspection, maintenance, and operation safety, there is an increasing need for the development of a comprehensive life cycle tunnel asset management program. This paper describes a conceptual framework for a comprehensive tunnel asset management program. The framework consists of three basic phases including a strategic plan, a tactical plan, and an operational plan to provide better information to the decision makers. The strategic plan is a basic long term approach of tunnel asset management. The tactical plan determines specific objectives and the operational plan actually applies asset management objectives in practice. The information includes operational condition, structural condition, efficiency of the system, emergency response, and life cycle cost analysis for tunnel capital improvement project planning.

PURPOSES : The authors set out to estimate the related carbon emissions, energy use, and costs of the national freeways and highways in Korea. To achieve this goal, a macro-level methodology for estimating those amounts by road type, road structure type, and road life cycle was developed. METHODS : The carbon emissions, energy use, and costs associated with roads vary according to the road type, road structure type, and road life cycle. Therefore, in this study, the road type, road structure type, and road life cycle were classified into two or three categories based on criteria determined by the authors. The unit amounts of carbon emissions and energy use per unit road length by classification were estimated using data gathered from actual road samples. The unit amounts of cost per unit road length by classification were acquired from the standard cost values provided in the 2013 road business manual. The total carbon emissions, energy use, and cost of the national freeways and highways were calculated by multiplying the road length by the corresponding unit amounts. RESULTS: The total carbon emissions, energy use, and costs associated with the national freeways and highways in Korea were estimated by applying the estimated unit amounts and the developed method. CONCLUSIONS: The developed method can be employed in the road planning and design stage when decision makers need to consider the impact of road construction from an environmental and economic point of view.

환경친화적인 도로건설의 개념은 최근에 많이 언급되고 있으나 실제로 측정할 수 있는 방법론이 전무한 실정이다. 특히 환경친화성을 현장에 적용하기 위해서는 계획단계에서 적용할 수 있는 방법론이 개발되어야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 일반국도의 환경친화성을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 개발하여 현장에 적용할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 평가지표 개발을 위해 환경영향평가에서 제시하고 있는 총 10개 분야에서 8개의 환경친화성 지표를 선정하였으며, 정성적 평가기법과 정량적 평가기법을 함께 적용하기 위해 정성적 평가방법으로는 계층화분석법(Analytic Hierarchy Process)을 사용하였으며, 정량적 평가방법으로는 일반국도 구간에서 지표에 대한 수치를 적용하였다. 환경친화성 지표선정을 위해 시범적용된 일반국도 구간은 총 10개 구간에 120km의 연장으로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서 제시된 평가방법론은 일반국도의 환경에 대한 적용수준을 평가할 수 있으며, 적용에 대한 이해가 쉽고 데이터의 수집이 간편하다. 이러한 방법론을 통해 도로건설시에 환경친화성을 평가하고 보완할 수 있는 도구로 이용이 가능할 것이다. 또한 여러 도로구간들의 환경친화성에 대한 비교를 통해 환경친화성을 높일 수 있는 근거로 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
