효율적인 포장의 관리를 위해서 포장상태를 객관적으로 평가하는 포장평가지수의 사용은 필수적이다. 현재 사용되고 있는 PSI, MCI, UPCI는 사용자나 관리자의 입장만을 각각 고려하여 종합적인 포장평가지수의 역할을 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 평가지수들의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 개선한 새로운 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 평가지수로 실제 포장자료를 이용하여 포장재료의 성질에 따른 지수의 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 표층두께, 아스팔트점도, 아스팔트함량의 순서로 포장평가지수에 영향을 주었다.

PURPOSES: This study is to develop the deduct value curves for the calculation of pavement condition index of asphalt airfield pavement. METHODS: To develop the deduct value curves of asphalt airfield pavement, panel rating was conducted to decide the pavement condition based on pavement distress type, severity, and density. RESULTS: Results show that standard deviation of deduct values by panel rating is increased at higher severity level and as damage density increases. The deduct value of alligator cracking show the highest. CONCLUSIONS: The deduct value curves based on panel rating could be used without existing problems which were occurred in Shahin's method.

PURPOSES : This study is aimed at development of a stochastic pavement deterioration forecasting model using National Highway Pavement Condition Index (NHPCI) to support infrastructure asset management. Using this model, the deterioration process regarding life expectancy, deterioration speed change, and reliability were estimated. METHODS : Eight years of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data fused with traffic loads (Equivalent Single Axle Loads; ESAL) and structural capacity (Structural Number of Pavement; SNP) were used for the deterioration modeling. As an ideal stochastic model for asset management, Bayesian Markov multi-state exponential hazard model was introduced. RESULTS:The interval of NHPCI was empirically distributed from 8 to 2, and the estimation functions of individual condition indices (crack, rutting, and IRI) in conjunction with the NHPCI index were suggested. The derived deterioration curve shows that life expectancies for the preventive maintenance level was 8.34 years. The general life expectancy was 12.77 years and located in the statistical interval of 11.10-15.58 years at a 95.5% reliability level. CONCLUSIONS : This study originates and contributes to suggesting a simple way to develop a pavement deterioration model using the total condition index that considers road user satisfaction. A definition for level of service system and the corresponding life expectancies are useful for building long-term maintenance plan, especially in Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) work.

우리나라는 1987년 국도 PMS가 도입된 이래 국도 및 고속도로의 경우 그동안 도로포장의 상태를 평가할 수 있는 포장상태 평가기준을 마련하여 이를 바탕으로 유지보수를 시행하고 있다. 반면, 시단위 도로의 경우 비교적 많은 교통량이 통행하며, 가장 많은 연장을 차지하고 있으나 서울시의 경우를 제외하고는 포장상태를 평가할 수 있는 마땅한 시스템이 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울시 사례 및 기타 시단위 도로포장상태 조사자료를 토대로 아스팔트포장의 일반적 평가요소인 균열, 소성변형, 종단평탄성 등 3가지 요소에 대한 포장상태를 분석하였으며, 시단위 도로의 유지관리 의사결정에 필요한 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 본 연구의 포장평가지수 개발방법은 현장조사와 샘플구간에 대하여 전문가 그룹을 구성하여 설문조사를 실시한 후 통계적 처리를 거쳐 시단위 포장평가지수(MPCI)를 제시하였다. 또한 개별결함 지수에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였으며, 평가지수를 실제 현장에 적용하여 타 기관에서 사용중인 포장평가지수와의 비교를 통하여 그 적정성을 검증하였다.

지자체 도로예산 절감을 위해 소규모 지역도로의 통행환경을 고려한 소규모 지역도로 포장상태 평가 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 지방 지자체에서 관리하는 지역도로의 경우 설계속도가 낮고 일정하지 않으며 중차량 통행량이 작아 비교적 중요도가 떨어지는 구간이다. 일반적으로 포장상태 조사에는 조사장비를 이용하나 고가의 운영비가 소요되어 소규모 지역도로 적용에는 효율성 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 소규모 지역도로에 적합한 새로운 포장상태 평가지수를 제시하였다. 소규모 지역도로의 포장상태 평가는 제시된 평가지수에 따라 3등급으로 구분하였으며, 전문가 설문조사를 통해 타당성을 검토하였다. 제시된 평가지수는 포장상태 설문조사 결과와 $R^2$가 0.88로 매우 높은 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 제한된 조건에서 육안 균열조사를 통해 산출된 포장상태평가지수는 소규모 지역도로에 활용이 가능하다. 또한 보다 경제적인 포장상태평가방법으로 지역도로 관리뿐 아니라 도로관리 예산절감에도 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

포장의 합리적 유지관리를 위해서는 기본적으로 포장의 상태를 객관적으로 평가하고, 평가한 자료를 이용하여 경제성 분석을 실시함으로써 최적의 보수공법 및 보수우선순위를 결정해야 한다. 전체적인 포장 상태를 객관적으로 평가하기 위해서는 포장상태 평가지수와 같은 단일화된 평가 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 고속도로 콘크리트 포장에 적합한 포장상태 평가지수를 개발하기 위하여 현장 상세조사 및 포장평가위원회의 평가를 실시하고, 그 결과의 회귀분석을 통해 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 포장평가지수를 이용하여 포장유지관리에서 이용되기 위한 보수공법그룹을 제시하였다. 개발된 포장평가지수의 상관계수는 0.68이었으며, 콘크리트 포장평가지수에 사용된 독립변수들은 종단평탄성, 균열, 패칭 등이었다.

PURPOSES : The PMS(Pavement Management System) has been utilized in order to efficiently allocate the limited budget for the maintenance of national highway system. In the PMS of national highway, surface pavement condition is evaluated by using the VI (Visual Index). However, the VI is determined only by considering the cracking rate (%) and rut depth (mm), which is not reflecting the IRI (International Roughness Index) that is known as an important factor of pavement performance. In this study, the NHPCI (National Highway Pavement Condition Index) which includes the cracking rate (%), rut depth (mm), and IRI (m/km) is suggested for determining the rehabilitation methods group. METHODS : First, the rehabilitation methods performed between 2008 and 2010 on the national highway is classified and then, NHPCI is determined for each rehabilitation method. Next, the NHPCI for each rehabilitation method is grouped through the interval estimation of the population mean and T-test analysis. RESULTS : According to NHPCI range, the rehabilitation methods are divided into four categories: Not Required, Preventive Maintenance, Overlay Treatment (with or without cutting), and Full-scale Treatment (i.e., reconstruction). CONCLUSIONS : Based on this study, it is recommended that the appropriate NHPCI range should be determined through the combination of the rehabilitation categories and Decision Procedure of Pavement Distress Condition Visual Index.

PURPOSES: The new methodology is proposed for estimation of long-term performance and pavement life based on the national highway database in Daejeon area. Furthermore, this study tried to verify the applicability of performance estimation using NHPCI (National Highway Pavement Condition Index) on tendency of pavement deterioration as time goes by under Korean road environments. METHODS: Reliability theories are applied to estimate the mean life and to determine the appropriate distribution using 3 levels of traffic loads (high, medium, low) based on maintenance and rehabilitation history data for 15 years. RESULTS: As a result, Lognormal distribution is suitable for explanation of pavement lifetime in Daejeon area regardless of traffic loads. In addition, we found that the results of mean life and maintenance timing based on NHPCI for the pavement sections of 3 levels of traffic loads are available. CONCLUSIONS: Based on this study, it was found that mean life of high, medium and low levels of traffic loads are about 8.1 years, 12.2 years and 12.7 years, respectively. Higher level of traffic loads shorten the pavement mean life.

OBJECTIVES : This study develops an evaluation method, which is useful to inspect pavement condition of specific boroughs. This is because pavement condition is broadly divided into five grades via visual inspection, which does not consider the types of deteriorations, and is decided by an investigator having a subjective viewpoint. This visual inspection method is not a satisfactory method for accurate maintenance when various deteriorations occur. METHODS : The performance model considers several factors such as crack, rutting, and IRI. This method is also modified from borough SPI based on SPI (Seoul Pavement Index). Considering limited budget of borough, PI (prediction index) is suggested, which is related to the grade of pavement condition evaluation and type of materials. Practical correlation review is also conducted with statistical verification by using the Monte Carlo simulation. RESULTS : The results of the study show that modified criteria are reasonable. First, the comparison between the visual inspection result and the SPI result indicates that the R-square value is sufficiently high. Second, through the common section, each evaluation method could be compared, and the result shows considerable similarity, which increases when the range is modified. Finally, PI for predicting remaining life and the random number SPI have common parts, which means that each indicator would be adequate to be used as an evaluation method. CONCLUSIONS : Comparison and analysis results show that the developed evaluation method is reasonable for specific boroughs where financial support is inadequate for the evaluation process by using the newer equipment. Moreover, for more accurate evaluation method, previous visual inspection data should be utilized, and the database of inspection equipment have to be collected.

Pavement management systems require systematic monitoring of pavement surfaces to determine preventive and corrective maintenance. The process involves the accumulation of large amounts of visual data, typically obtained from site visitation. The pavement surface condition is then correlated to a pavement distress index that is based on a scoring system previously established by state or federal agencies. The scoring system determines if the pavement section requires maintenance, overlay or reconstruction. One of the surface distresses forming part of the overall pavement distress index is the Alligator Crack Index (AC Index). The AC Index involves the visual evaluation of the crack severity of a section of a pavement as being low, medium, or high. This evaluation is then integrated into a formula in order to obtain the AC Index. In this study a quantification of the visual evaluation of the severity of alligator cracking is carried out using photographs and the fractal dimension concept from fractal theory. Pavements with low levels of cracking were found to have a fractal dimension equal to 1.051. Pavements with moderate levels of cracking had a fractal dimension equal to 1.1754. Pavements with high degrees of cracking had a fractal dimension that varied between 1.5037 (high) and 1.7111 (very high). Pavements with a level of cracking equal to 1.8976 represented pavements that disintegrated and developed potholes. Thus, the visual evaluation of the state of cracking of a pavement (the AC Index) could be enhanced with the use of the fractal dimension concept from fractal theory.
