PURPOSES: Because expressway ramps are very complex segments where diverse roadway design elements dynamically change within relatively short length, drivers on ramps are required to drive their cars carefully for safety. Especially, ramps on expressways are designed to guarantee driving at high speed so that the risk and severity of traffic accidents on expressway ramps may be higher and more deadly than other facilities on expressways. Safe deceleration maneuvers are required on off-ramps, whereas safe acceleration maneuvers are necessary on onramps. This difference in required maneuvers may contribute to dissimilar patterns and severity of traffic accidents by ramp types. Therefore, this study was aimed at developing prediction models of the severity of traffic accidents on expressway on- and off-ramps separately in order to consider dissimilar patterns and severity of traffic accidents according to types of ramps. METHODS: Four-year-long traffic accident data between 2007 and 2010 were utilized to distinguish contributing design elements in conjunction with AADT and ramp length. The prediction models were built using the negative binomial regression model consisting of the severity of traffic accident as a dependent variable and contributing design elements as in independent variables. RESULTS: The developed regression models were evaluated using the traffic accident data of the ramps which was not used in building the models by comparing actual and estimated severity of traffic accidents. Conclusively, the average prediction error rates of on-ramps and offramps were 30.5% and 30.8% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The prediction models for the severity of traffic accidents on expressway on- and off-ramps will be useful in enhancing the safety on expressway ramps as well as developing design guidelines for expressway ramps.

PURPOSES : Climbing lanes on expressways managed by the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) have been hot potatoes due to conflicts between slow-moving vehicles such as trucks and other vehicles at the merging section as well as the less popularity with the slow-moving vehicles. In order to resolve such problems, KEC has altered existing climbing lanes to passing-type climbing lanes in 1999. The new type of climbing lanes showed an apparent improvement in mobility. For example, the speeds of vehicles using both climbing lane and other lanes improved a lot. However, there has been no clear evidence about improved safety. METHODS : This research effort was initiated to evaluate the safety of the new passing-type climbing lanes using the comparison-group(CG) method based on three-year-long traffic accident data sets before and after the change, respectively. RESULTS : The passing-type climbing lanes showed twice increased traffic accidents even though the traffic accidents on old type climbing lanes increased 1.1% during the same periods. In addition, in-depth study, the merging area of the passing-type climbing lanes was found out to be the weakest section where 43.8% traffic accidents out of total traffic accidents happened. It is noted that the merging area of the old type climbing showed only 25.0% traffic accidents. CONCLUSIONS : The new passing-type climbing lanes were found to be weak in terms of safety when compared with the old type climbing lanes. Especially, the merging area should be improved to reduce the risk of traffic conflicts between slow-moving vehicles and other vehicles.

Based on the investigation results on the damages of some underground structures due to the severe Kobe Earthquake it concludes that the aseismicity of underground is far superior to that of aboveground structures. Therefore, at first, necessity to reconstruct strong cities especially by good use of underground space will be discussed. Then two non-circular shield-tunneling projects in Japan are discussed. The first is construction of the world's first shield driven double track subway tunnel of rectangular shape for the Kyoto Municipal Subway. This paper presents a report on the overall planning, the tests that were performed in the process of planning, and the results of driving. The second is the design of the Hirakata Tunnel, with three traffic lanes and shoulders on one side, which will be constructed as one of the tunnels for The New Meishin (Nagoya-Kobe) Expressways. This paper presents the feasibility study of the shield tunneling method, using the same design criteria as the non-circular, horseshoe section of mountain tunnel, to the equivalent section of the Hirakata Tunnel.

본 연구는 고속도로 교차점의 유형과 교통사고와의 관계를 다루고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 교통사고가 교차점의 유형과 기하구조 설계요소에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있다는 가설을 검증하는데 있다. 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, JCT와 IC 그리고 트럼펫 IC와 기타 유형의 IC 간의 사고 비교는 의미를 갖지 못하지만, 트럼펫 IC의 네 가지 유형별 차이는 의미가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 즉 BO 형태의 트럼펫 IC는 타 형태의 트럼펫 IC보다 월등히 많은 교통사고를 나타내고 있다. 둘째, 가설검정을 통해 본선과의 교차각은 가능한 직각으로 설계하고 연결로 교통량이 많지 않은 한 1차로로 설계하는 것이 바람직하다고 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 장래 고속도로의 설계에서 보다 안전한 인터체인지의 유형결정과 기하구조 설계에 반영될 수 있는 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 도로 안전 측면에서 가능한 BO 형태의 인터체인지는 도입하지 않고, 교차각을 $90^{\circ}$가 되도록 설계하되, 인터체인지의 경우 연결로 교통량이 아주 많지 않다면 1차로로 설계하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : Recently, bonded concrete overlay has been used as an alternative solution in concrete pavement rehabilitation since its material properties are similar to those of the existing concrete pavements. Deteriorated concrete pavements need rapid rehabilitation in order to prevent traffic jams on Korean expressways. Moreover, speedy and effective repair methods are required. Therefore, the use of bonded concrete overlay with ultra-rapid hardening cement has increased in an effort to reopen promptly the expressways in Korea. However, mobile mixer is required for ultra-rapid hardening cement concrete mixing in the construction site. The use of mobile mixer causes various disadvantages aforementioned such as limitation of the construction supply, open-air storage of mixing materials, increase in construction cost, and etc. In this study, therefore, hydration accelerator in-situ mixing on polymer modified concrete produced in concrete plant is attempted in order to avoid the disadvantages of existing bonded concrete overlay method using ultra-rapid hardening cement. METHODS : Bonded concrete overlay materials using ultra-rapid hardening cement should be meet all the requirements including structural characteristics, compatibility, durability for field application. Therefore, This study aimed to evaluate the application of hydration accelerator in-situ mixing on polymer modified concrete by evaluating structural characteristics, compatibility, durability and economic efficiency for bonded concrete overlay. RESULTS : Test results of structural characteristics showed that the compressive, flexural strength and bond strength were exceed 21MPa, 3.15MPa and 1.4MPa, respectively, which are the target strengths of four hours age for the purpose of prompt traffic reopening. In addition, tests of compatibility, such as drying shrinkage, coefficient of thermal expansion and modulus of elasticity, and durability (chloride ions penetration resistance, freezing-thawing resistance, scaling resistance, abrasion resistance and crack resistance), showed that the hydration accelerator in-situ mixing on polymer modified concrete were satisfied the required criteria. CONCLUSIONS : It was known that the hydration accelerator in-situ mixing on polymer modified concrete overlay method was applicable for bonded concrete overlay and was a good alternative method to substitute the existing bonded concrete overlay method since structural characteristics, compatibility, durability were satisfied the criteria and its economic efficiency was excellent compare to the existing bonded concrete overlay methods.

지속적인 도로건설에도 불구하고 이용차량의 급증으로 인해 고속도로의 혼잡은 계속 커져 가고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 물리적 용량 확대 즉, 도로의 신설, 확장에는 막대한 비용뿐만 아니라 용지확보의 어려움 등으로 장기의 건설기간이 소요되어 혼잡 해소 시까지 상당기간 동안 혼잡의 지속이 불가피하다. 따라서 도로 관리주체는 소통상태가 악화되기 이전에 소통상태에 대한 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 혼잡원인 분석 및 해결대안을 제시하여 적극적으로 혼잡에 대처하는 것이 요구된다. 소통상태의 모니터링을 위해서는 소통상태를 계량적으로 표현할 수 있는 지표가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 등급(또는 설계속도)이 다른 도로에 대해 동일한 척도로 평가가 가능하고 소통원활, 혼잡 등의 상태를 구분할 수 있는 혼잡지표(종합소통지수, TCI)를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 종합소통지수(TCI)는 고속도로 교통관리시스템(FTMS)과 같이 기 설치된 시스템으로부터 획득 가능한 교통데이터를 이용하여 혼잡도를 산출할 수 있기 때문에 기존의 FTMS를 기능적으로 보완할 수 있고 도로 관리주체가 혼잡관리에 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 장점을 지닌다. 한편, TCI의 적용성을 평가하기 위해 경부 및 서해안 고속도로에 적용하여 평균통행속도, TTI 및 TCI 결과 값을 비교하였는데, 활용도, 소통상태 표현 능력 등의 측면에서 TCI의 적용성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

최근 스마트폰의 빠른 보급으로 누구나 언제 어디서든 자유로운 네트워크 접속이 가능해졌다. 이는 통행 전은 물론 통행 중 교통정보 검색이 매우 편리해졌음을 의미한다. 고속도로 교통정보 탐색 행태의 기반이 되는 상관성 분석을 위하여, 웹과 모바일-앱의 접속 지표에 대한 정상성 여부를 검증하고, TCS 교통량과의 상관관계를 실증적으로 분석하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 그 결과 첫째, 시간대별 웹/모바일-앱의 접속 지표에 대한 ADF-검정, PP-검정 결과, 로그변환이나 차분변환 없이도 시계열의 정상성 조건을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 고속도로 진출입 교통량과의 피어슨 상관계수를 검토한 결과, 웹/모바일-앱의 모든 접속 지표는 뚜렷한 양적 상관관계를 보였다. 단, 트럭의 TCS 진입 교통량은 상관관계가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 시계열 변수 사이에 존재하는 발생시간의 시차 관계(동행성, 선행성, 후행성)를 규명하기 위해 교차분석을 수행한 결과, 모바일 이용자는 모든 웹 접속 지표보다 선행하고 있었으며, 모바일 실행횟수는 모든 웹 접속 지표와 동행함을 발견하였다. 넷째, 고속도로의 진입 교통량에 선행하는 웹/모바일-앱 접속 지표는 존재하지 않았으며, 웹 페이지뷰/방문자/신규방문자/재방문자, 모바일 실행횟수는 오히려 고속도로 진입 총 교통량과 비교시 1시간의 후행 시차에서 상관관계가 가장 높게 나타났다. 향후 분석의 공간적 범위와 시간적 범위를 세분화하고 교통정보 이용자의 위치정보를 활용할 수 있다면, 경로 전환 시점/비율과 같은 개별 통행행태까지도 예측할 수 있게 될 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics of panels that affect the evaluating results of riding quality and to evaluate the appropriateness of roughness management criteria based on ride comfort satisfaction. METHODS : In order to analyze the influence of panel characteristics of riding quality, 33 panels, consisting of civilians and experts, were selected. Also, considering the roughness distribution of the expressway, 35 sections with MRI ranging from 1.17 m/km to 4.65 m/km were selected. Each panel boarded a passenger car and evaluated the riding quality with grades from 0 to 10, and assessed whether it was satisfied or not. After removing outlier results using a box plot technique, 964 results were analyzed. An ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the effects of panel expertise, age, driving experience, vehicle ownership, and gender on the evaluation results. In addition, by using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, the MRI value, which can most accurately evaluate the satisfaction with riding quality, was derived. Then, the compatibility of MRI was evaluated using AUC as a criterion to assess whether the riding quality was satisfactory. RESULTS : Only the age of the panel participants were found to have an effect on the riding quality satisfaction. It was found that satisfaction with riding quality and MRI are strongly correlated. The satisfaction rate of roughness management criteria on new (MRI 1.6 m/km) and maintenance (MRI 3.0 m/km) expressways were 95% and 53%, respectively. As a result of evaluating the roughness management criteria by using the ROC curve, it was found that the accuracy of satisfaction was the highest at MRI 3.1-3.2 m/km. In addition, the AUC of the MRI was about 0.8, indicating that the MRI was an appropriate index for evaluating the riding quality satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results, the distribution of the panels' age should be considered when panel rating is conducted. From the results of the ROC curve, MRI of 3.0 m/km, which is a criterion of roughness management on maintenance expressways, is considered as appropriate.
