  • The purpose of this study was to figure out the utilization of native plants for highway landscape. The field and nursery experiments were conducted from January of 1996 to December of 1998 on the Chonju Arboretum and Honam highway in Korea Highway Corporation. We have investigated thirty species of native plants and came to a conclusion that Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Aster koraiensis, Iris nertschinskia, Fennisetum alopecuroides, Viola kapsanensis are very suitable for highway landscaping. And, if the problems raised during this investigation are resolved, it is clear that Polygonatum odoratum var. plurijlorum, Belamcanda chinensis, Allium thunbergii, Ophiopogon japonicus, Dianthus superbus var. longicalycinus, Disporum sessile, Lilium tigrinum, Caryopteris incana, Aquilegia flabellata var. pumila, Pulsatilla koreana, Aster spathulifolius etc. can be useful plants at highway landscaping.

  • Flood is one of the major natural disasters affecting millions of people. Thailand also, frequently faces with this type of disaster. Especially, 2011 mega flood in Central Thailand, inundated highway severely attributed to the failure of national economic and risk to life. Lesson learned from such an extreme event caused flood monitoring and warning becomes one of the sound mitigations. The highway flood hazard mapping accomplished in this research is one of the strategies. This is due to highway flood is the potential risk to life and limb, and potential damage to property. Monitoring and warning therefore help reducing live and property losses. In this study, degree of highway flood hazard was assessed by weighting factors for each cause of the highway flood using Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). These weighting factors are the essential information to classify the degree of highway flood hazard to enable pinpoint on flood monitoring and flood warning in hazard areas. The highway flood causes were then investigated. It was found that three major factors influence to the highway flood are namely the highway characteristics, the hydrological characteristics and the land topography characteristics. The weight of importance for each cause of the highway flood in the whole country was assessed by weighting 3 major factors influence to the highway flood. According to the result of MCA analysis, the highway, the hydrological and the land topography characteristics were respectively weighted as 35, 35 and 30 percent influence to the cause of highway flood. These weighting factors were further utilized to classify the degree of highway flood hazard. The Weight Linear Combination (WLC) method was used to compute the total score of all highways according to each factor. This score was later used to categorize highway flood as high, moderate and low degree of hazard levels. Highway flood hazard map accomplished in this research study is applicable to serve as the handy tool for highway flood warning. However, to complete the whole warning process, flood water level monitoring system for example the camera gauge should be installed in the hazard highway. This is expected to serve as a simple flood monitor as part of the warning system during such extreme or critical event.

  • For the purpose of building up the construction prospects of highway in consideration of natural environment. The tree planting and flower seeding in highway road side using native species were offered to natural landscape and resting area landscaping for peoples, and these area were 194place. The tree planting and flower seeding activity is to improve driving circumstances, and to conserve living and natural environment along the highways. And, preparation of ecotone and biotope at the highway surroundings for natural ecosystem conservation is an important activity, and planting of natural plants is generally carried out near wildlife ecoroads in order to give the way for animals. The primary purpose of this tree planting and seeding is not only to reduce environmental pollution, but also to enhance the ecological surroundings of highway circumference. Ultimately, It is essential that the constructive method of highway think over such as ecological environment and road design, surveying and management, construction, highway maintenance etc.

  • Highway traffic noise is the one of the most frequent pollutant source of environmental claims in Korea for the last 10 years. For abating the noise from the highways, characteristics of highway noise source should be investigated and identified before performing the abatements. Highway noises are affected by traffic volume, vehicle types and speed, tyre and pavement types. In this study, highway noises which measured from different pavements have been analyzed and compared. Especially, the noise from the asphalt concrete pavement, cement concrete pavement and low-noise pavement have been measured simultaneously at the same traffic condition and compared each other. Hopefully, the data of the study may be used for abating highway noise and further studies.

  • This paper introduces a implementation of fault detection for national highway line 3. Fault detection system was installed and operated on national highway line 3, environmental elements caused by abnormal status or faults has often happened. Therefore, the function of fault detection system is to speedy notify fault site, cause as well as scale of fault to manager. Though the fault detection and diagnosis system has been imported in the field of process of water and electric power, it is just beginning step in the field of ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems). In general, Maintenance system is performed the online/offline process of detection, diagnosis and measure. This paper is studied online detection process, which is realtime remote detection.

  • 강원도 홍천일대의 지역은 경기육괴의 편마암이 주암종으로 이루어진 지역으로 대규모의 홍천단층이 지나고 있다. 과거 이 단층대 부근에서 건설된 도로건설시에 발생된 많은 절토사면의 붕괴를 통해 그 원인 파악 및 차후 고려해야 할 사항을 파악하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제 중에 하나이다. 본 논문은 붕괴를 토대로 붕괴의 원인 및 대책방안을 파악하고자 한다. 홍천일대의 사면붕괴를 유발시키는 원인으로는 크게 두 가지 지질구조적인 요인을 들 수 있는데 하나는 사면방향으로 발달하는 편마암내에 발달하는 엽리면을 따라 붕괴가 발생되는 사례가 있고 둘째는 단층파쇄대 및 단층대를 따라 붕괴가 발생되는 원인으로 대별할 수 있다. 두 번째의 요인은 비교적 규모가 큰 사면붕괴를 유발하게 되고 막대한 복구비용이 수반되는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 단층의 수반에 의해 발생되는 절토사면은 대책방안으로 사면경사완화 방안, 앵커 및 억지말뚝과 같은 보강방법에 의해 안정화를 시키는 사례가 주를 이루었으며 차후 이 일대의 건설공사시에는 단층대의 방향 및 규모에 대한 조사를 세밀히 이루어져야 할 것이다.
