아스팔트 포장의 균열은 날씨의 변화나 차량에 의한 충격으로 발생하며, 균열을 방치할 경우 포장 수명이 단축되고 각종 사고를 불러 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 아스팔트 도로 포장의 균열을 빠르게 감지하여 보수조치를 취하기 위하여 이미지를 통해 균열을 자동으로 탐지하기 위한 연구들이 지속되어 왔다. 특히 최근들어 Convolutional Neural Network를 사용하여 아스팔트 도로 포장의 균열을 탐지하려는 모델들이 많이 연구되고 있으나, 고성능의 컴퓨팅 파워를 요구하기 때문에 실제 활용에는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 모바일 기기에 적용 가능한 스몰 딥러닝 모델을 적용하여 아스팔트 도로 포장의 균열을 탐지하는 모델의 개발을 위한 프레임워크를 제안한다. 사례연구를 통해 제안한 스몰 딥러닝 모델은 일반적인 딥러닝 모델들과 비교 연구되었으며, 상대적으로 적은 파라미터를 가지는 모델임에도 일반적인 딥러닝 모델들과 유사한 성능을 보였다. 개발된 모델은 모바일 기기나 IoT에 임베디드 되어 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : This study aims to examine the differences between the existing traffic demand forecasting method and the traffic demand forecasting method considering future regional development plans and new road construction and expansion plans using a four-step traffic demand forecast for a more objective and sophisticated national highway maintenance. This study ultimately aims to present future pavement deterioration and budget forecasting planning based on the examination. METHODS : This study used the latest data offered by the Korea Transport Data Base (KTDB) as the basic data for demand forecast. The analysis scope was set using the Daejeon Metropolitan City's O/D and network data. This study used a traffic demand program called TransCad, and performed a traffic assignment by vehicle type through the application of a user equilibrium-based multi-class assignment technique. This study forecasted future traffic demand by verifying whether or not a realistic traffic pattern was expressed similarly by undertaking a calibration process. This study performed a life cycle cost analysis based on traffic using the forecasted future demand or existing past pattern, or by assuming the constant traffic demand. The maintenance criteria were decided according to equivalent single axle loads (ESAL). The maintenance period in the concerned section was calculated in this study. This study also computed the maintenance costs using a construction method by applying the maintenance criteria considering the ESAL. The road user costs were calculated by using the user cost calculation logic applied to the Korean Pavement Management System, which is the existing study outcome. RESULTS : This study ascertained that the increase and decrease of traffic occurred in the concerned section according to the future development plans. Furthermore, there were differences from demand forecasting that did not consider the development plans. Realistic and accurate demand forecasting supported an optimized decision making that efficiently assigns maintenance costs, and can be used as very important basic information for maintenance decision making. CONCLUSIONS : Therefore, decision making for a more efficient and sophisticated road management than the method assuming future traffic can be expected to be the same as the existing pattern or steady traffic demand. The reflection of a reliable forecasting of the future traffic demand to life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) can be a very vital factor because many studies are generally performed without considering the future traffic demand or with an analysis through setting a scenario upon LCCA within a pavement management system.

도로포장은 충족되어야 하는 서비스 수준을 유지하기 위해 반복적인 유지보수를 필요로 한다. 그러나 노후화된 하부구조와 반복적인 유지보수는 포장의 파손속도를 가속화시키기도 하며, 이는 한정된 예산의 효율성을 저해하는 요소가 될 수 있다. 따라서 본래의 기능을 유지하기 위해 도로의 재포장이 주기적으로 요구된다. 특히, 국도는 그 건설수요가 한계점에 다다랐으며, 노후로 인해 재포장 및 유지관리의 필요가 점점 증가하고 있는 시점이다. 그러나 도로관리자들은 예산의 한계로 이러한 노후포장에 대해 재포장 및 효율적인 유지관리를 시행하기에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이는 의사결정에 필요한 장기적인 유지보수 전략의 부재 때문이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 반복적인 유지보수로 인한 포장의 상태변화를 고려한 유지보수 전략을 도출하여 관리자들의 의사결정에 도움을 주고자 하였다. 분석을 위해 포장관리시스템(PMS)이 도입된 1986년부터 장기간 누적된 국도의 유지보수 이력데이터를 활용하였으며, 방법론으로는 유지보수 횟수에 따른 수명분포 도출 및 위험률(hazard) 함수의 변화과정을 분석한 후, 이 결과를 근거로 다양한 유지보수 대안들에 대해 중장기 유지보수비용을 산정하였다. 이를 위해 포장파손과정의 불확실성을 고려하고, 도로관리자들에게 보다 실용적인 정보를 제공하기 위해 확률론적 방법(몬테카를로기법)을 추가로 도입하였다. 또한, 신뢰성 이론을 활용하여 유지보수에 대한 품질보증과 관련된 정보도 도출하고자 하였다. 이러한 정보는 장기유지보수전략 수립에 중요한 정보로 활용할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : The evaluation of the pavement condition of the asphalt concrete pavement of No. 2 runway of Inchon International Airport through PMS, a supporting system for making a decision of pavement, maintenance and repair, was made, and the proper time for repair according to the PCI reduction rate was suggested. METHODS : By comparing and analyzing the evaluation results of pavements built in 2009, 2010, 2011, PCI change in each facility (No. 2 runway, C parallel taxiway, connection taxiway) was calculated. By applying the calculated change to PCI deduction rate model, the pavement condition of the target sections was estimated, and then the necessary section and time for repair were chosen. RESULTS : After careful consideration of the time for pavement and maintenance, based on the result of PCI prediction, it was estimated that the southern takeoff and landing section of No. 2 runway was required to be repaired in 2012; connection taxiway in 2013; and C parallel taxiway in 2014; however, the section which is the main moving route of connection taxiway and C parallel taxiway was needed to be repaired in 2012. CONCLUSIONS : For maintenance and repair of airport pavements, the optimal alternative should be chosen by considering economics and operability, via examining the time for repair and the aspect of management all together on the basis of this study.

The asphalt pavement industry has introduced the warm-mix asphalt (WMA) as a mean of energy saving and environmentally safe technology, because the WMA mixture can be mixed and compacted at 30℃ lower than conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) at 160℃ or higher. The implementation of WMA can be a good option for paving operations for rural road in remote place, not only due to energy saving and environmental issues, but also lower working temperature. Using WMA technology, the cooled-down asphalt mixture can be still compacted to meet the quality requirement in narrow winding rural road in remote places. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate engineering properties of WMA binders and concretes, which were prepared for rural road pavement. The objective of the study was to evaluate and suggest proper fundamental properties level of the WMA concrete for rural road pavement. The kinematic viscosity test result indicated that the WMA binders used in this study were effective for compaction at lower temperature, i.e., at 115℃, compared to the HMA binder. According to strength property analyses, it was found that the WMA concrete was acceptable for rural road pavement even though it was compacted at 30℃ lower level. Since the deformation strength (SD) of 3.2 MPa was found to satisfy rutting and cracking resistance minimum guidelines, this value was suggested as a minimum SD value for rural road pavement, considering lack of maintenance program for rural area.

PURPOSES : Case studies of an asphalt-overlay project with a performance-based contract method were conducted on a national highway in Korea to evaluate the effect of the method on asphalt pavement maintenance. This study evaluated the procedure of the performance-based contract method. METHODS : In this study, an asphalt-pavement maintenance project for a national highway was assessed with a performance-based contract to investigate the advantage of the new contract procedures. This is the first trial applying the performance-based contract to a pavement-rehabilitation project in Korea. In the four case studies, the warranty period of the performance-based contract was designed for seven years. The research team monitored the construction site to compare the normal contract method with the performance-based contract method. The case studies' project sites were investigated after the end of the construction. RESULTS : Based on the limited case studies, the performance-based contract method could extend the service life of the asphalt pavement and reduce the pavement-maintenance budget because the quality control was well managed by the contractors. However, a few construction laws would be necessary to apply the performance-based contract method in the future. CONCLUSIONS : Using the performance-based contract, the construction company made great efforts to guarantee the warranty period and to apply the optimal maintenance method, based on the pavement distress condition. The contractor and the agency would need to understand the new performance-based contract system for it to be activated. Therefore, a proper education program for the performance-based contract system would be needed to educate the stakeholders regarding the procedures and their effects on the pavement management and maintenance.

PURPOSES : Surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance should be inspected field applicability. This study(Part II) aimed to checkup coating characteristics and performance analysis using lab and field tests. The hydrophobic - low viscosity filling material for pavement preventive maintenance is presented in Part I, which is a series of companion study. METHODS : Relative comparison between general asphalt mixtures and surface treatment asphalt mixtures are analyzed and measured for the field application such as indirect tensile strength ratio(TSR), abrasion resistance, crack propagation resistance, temperature resistance, coating thickness, permeability resistance and skid resistance in terms of british pendulum number(BPN). RESULTS : It is found that TSR, crack propagation resistance and permeability resistance is increased as against uncoated asphalt specimen. Abrasion resistance and temperature resistance is secured from the initial coating thickness point of view, which is about 0.2~0.3mm. Skid resistance on the surface treatment pavement is satisfied with the BPN criteria of national highway because of exposed aggregate and crack sill induced pavement deterioration and damage cracks. CONCLUSIONS : The hydrophobic - low viscosity surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance is validated on field applicability evaluation based on quantitative analysis of coating thickness and performance analysis using lab and field tests.

미끄럼방지포장은 도로의 부속물로서 도로 및 교통 특성으로 인해 미끄럼저항을 충분히 확보하지 못한 곳이나 도로선형의 변화가 심한 구간에서 포장의 미끄럼저항을 높여 자동차의 안전한 주행을 도모하기 위한 시설이라고 명시하고 있다. 특히, 눈, 비, 블랙아이스와 같은 기상 악천후 상황에서 미끄럼방지포장의 미끄럼저항성능은 도로교통 및 운전자의 안전에 큰 영향을 미친다. 하지만 현재 미끄럼저항성능을 측정하는 데 주로 사용되는 BPN은 시험 면적이 0.009 m²에 불과하여 전체 포장면에 대한 대표성을 나타내기 어렵기 때문에 미끄럼방지포장 유지관리를 위한 신뢰성 있는 미끄럼저항성능 평가방법이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지침 및 표준 조사를 통하여 BPN, SN, GN 시험의 미끄럼저항 성능평가 방법을 비교하고 현장 미끄럼저항 성능평가에 적용하고자 하였다. 또한, 미끄럼방지포장의 체계적인 유지관리를 위하여 미끄럼방지포장재 미끄럼저항 성능평가 Test-bed 및 실도로 실증 현장에 미끄럼저항성능이 다른 미끄럼방지포장을 설치하여 성능평가방법(BPN, SN, GN)별 미끄럼저항성능을 비교하였다. 실험결과, SN과 GN은 미끄럼저항성능이 비슷한 경향으로 나타났으며, GN은 BPN × 0.01 과 유사하게 도출되었다.
