Concrete slab bridge is one of most common structures employed for local road constructions because of its simplicity in design and construction. Computer applications were developed to automate the repetitive computation for these simple structures. However, in most cases, managing the electronic documents produced by these applications has not been incorporated with design automation application yet. Resultant documents are often managed by individuals and disappear as time goes by due to lack of systemic management. This paper introduces a Web-based application developed to not only speed up the design process but also enhance the collection and manipulation of resultant electronic documents.

Since IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) 4 is based on the representation of 3D elements for an architecture project, and does not define standardized shapes for civil projects such as roads, bridges, and tunnels etc, it has limitations in securing interoperability for exchanging a shape information model for the civil projects. Besides, since road facilities have a linear reference, which is modeled along the center alignment, it is difficult the designers to create a standardized 3D road model. The aim of this study is to configure structure elements and their attribute for a road in the perspective of 3D design for developing a shape information model for the road. To solve these issues, this study analyzes the design documents, which consist of a road design handbook, guide, specifications and standards, and then extract shape elements and their attributes of road structures. Such shape elements are defined as an entity item and we review a hierarchical structure of a road shape defined by a virtual road model. The detailed elements and their attributes can be utilized as a 3D shape information model for constructing BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment for Infrastructures. Besides, it is expected that the suggested items will be utilized as a base data for extending to IFC for a road subdividing the detailed shapes, types and attributes for road projects.

The purpose of this study is to propose a guideline to help the client and bidder operate the BIM project in the domestic road field. As BIM design is mandatory in the construction field, documents disclosed by the ordering agency must essentially include procedures and step-by-step requirements to support BIM. The purpose of this study is to propose the structure and components of the guidelines that practitioners need practically by utilizing the currently announced road field guidelines. The guidelines are analyzed based on the procurement documents that were pre-emptively shared overseas, and supplemented according to the domestic situation. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the revised guidelines is confirmed through expert consultation. This study aims to contribute to creating an environment in which construction practitioners who have no experience in BIM project can efficiently carry out BIM projects.

The authors suggest the extension IFC schema of drainage facilities for the purpose of establishment the information model standard for the roads. IFC entities, types and properties for drainage facilities are defined by the analysis of road design documents for extraction physical component and design information IFC schema is able to be extended through the result of this research. Futhermore, IFC for additional road facilities is able to be used as construction process control, quantity take off, and simulation applications with the interoperability of the IFC.

Onsite usage of construction equipment accounts for a 6.8% of air pollution in Korea. The high concentration of carbon dioxide in such emissions impact not only climate change, but also people's health. However, greenhouse gas emissions from onsite equipment usage have not yet been fully investigated. This study presents a comparative analysis on how much greenhouse gas is generated by various equipment types used in different construction activities. Two ongoing cases which involve a typical road construction project in Korea were selected for the comparison purpose. Greenhouse gas emissions from each onsite equipment usage of the different activities were estimated on the ground of design documents. The estimates were compared and analyzed to derive the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The result showed that earthwork constituted the largest part-more than 90%-among work types. Dump truck, bulldozer, and loader were major sources for such emissions. The study results are expected to be used as a basis for reduction of greenhouse gas emission from onsite equipment usage.

Extension IFC schema of subsidiary facilities were developed for the purpose of establishing an information model standard for roads. The IFC entities, types and properties for subsidiary facilities were defined through an analysis of the road design documents for the extraction physical component and design information. The converter and viewer for applying the new schema were then developed. Subsidiary facilities BIM models were converted to new IFC models to verify the research results. Standard BIM-based delivery and verification systems are enabled by using a standard model converted by new schema. Furthermore, it can establish an open BIM environment using an IFC over the entire life cycle of the civil engineering project.

Recently, BIM has been widely applying in civil engineering projects centering on the private construction industry in order to establish self guidelines for spreading in practice. However, most BIM technologies and software are based on the architectural projects. In these environments, it is not easy to apply the BIM to a infrastructure field. Even BIM standards with IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) are also focusing on architectural projects. Especially, both private and public sectors do not know about how BIM delivery system should be performed, and how such deliverable should be submitted to the government yet. Thus, we need to analyze an application level of BIM S/W (Software) in real projects and verify their interoperability. Besides, since there are not any common standards that can exchange IFC models for civil engineering projects, we have many issues in converting as-built infrastructure models into IFC and delivering their design documents to the government. Accordingly, this study aims to perform a BIM process with commercial software for real road project after a detailed design process is finished and verify interoperability between diverse BIM software for securing BIM data reliability.

of the road would be a key index judged for a safety at the vehicle driving on the road. In Korea, as seen through a lot of documents, the vehicle driving speed is much faster compared with the design speed. The vehicle driving speed is an important element to get to know the vehicle driving characteristics. However, it is not easy to obtain the vehicle driving speed relating to vehicles' consecutive movements just merely through the presently used methods of vehicle driving speed. In consequence, this study has conducted photographing vehicle movements by use of digital moving images. Based on digital moving Images pictured, we have obtained a certain time interval frame and extracted out vehicles' coordinates and calculated vehicle speed from the firstly rectified image and the secondly rectified image. We could obtain comparatively exact results in the calculation of vehicle driving speed as errors of about 4%, as a result of comparison and verification of vehicle speed calculated from the digital moving images and the speed obtained from DGPS.

Road design safety assessment by existing tools and methods have normally been examined by expert judgements using design documents and on-site inspections. The existing methods, however, have two main problems such as insufficiency of objectiveness and inability to measure effects of accident countermeasures. This paper studies ways to develop a road safety assessment system through reviewing the IHSDM developed in USA. The crash prediction module of IHSDM calculate accident frequency and rate of roadway segments using accident prediction models and accident modification factors for safety evaluation. The methodology of evaluation and development of accident modification factors somewhat overcome the problems of the existing methods. In spite of these advantages, IHSDM could not relevantly reflect characteristics of domestic rural roadways since it overestimate the number of accidents and rate of korean rural roadways. Especially, IHSDM may not evaluate or consider land use patterns of Korean roadways, and futhermore, original environment on base conditions used to develop IHSDM may not be different from ours. The user requirements being developed for a road safety assessment system for Korean roadways include enhanced flexibility and diversity of data input-output processes.
