  • 최근 도로의 유지관리 개념의 중요성이 대두되면서 도로 자체의 유지보수 확장이나 도로선형 개량 등 도로상에서 각종 공사의 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 특히 고속으로 주행하는 고속도로 상에서 도로점용공사로 인하여 차로가 감소되는 구간은 교통효율과 사고 위험도 측면에서 체계적이고 합리적인 도로점용공사가 필요하지만, 국내의 도로 특성을 반영한 공사구간 도로상에서의 교통사고 측면의 연구가 부족하여 외국의 사례를 적용하고 있는데, 외국은 국가의 면적, 도로의 사정, 국민들의 의식수준 등 여러 가지 상황이 우리나라와 상이하여 외국의 사례를 그대로 적용했을 때에는 실제적으로 우리나라 도로현황과 일치하지 않는 경우가 대부분이다. 이에 고속도로 23개 노선을 중심으로 2003년부터 2005년까지 3년동안 교통통제가 이루어진 공사구간에서 발생한 교통사고를 조사하고 이 공사구간에서 발생하는 교통사고의 특성을 사고유형별, 사고심각도별, 공사유형별, 원인별, 사고 발생경향별, 그리고 전체 고속도로상의 교통사고와의 비교를 통해서 알아보고자 한다. 또한 이를 통해서 보다 구체적이고 세부적인 공사구간 통제지침의 필요성을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the Safety and Logistical Distribution Management system in Thailand's Highway Work Zone based on data from Logistics drivers. Accidents in highway construction zones have caused enormous casualties in Thailand yearly. Statistical data shows evidence of correlation between numbers of accidents and drivers' recklessness. Research design, data, and methodology: In this study, we conducted an in- depth interview with 414 logistics drivers and highway construction workers in Khon Kaen province, Thailand. The data was collected based on 63 questionnaires aiming at capturing factors contributing to the risk of safety and cause of accidents in logistic infrastructures such as Highway work zone. Results: The result reveals two significant factors affecting safety in highway work zone, which includes construction environment and safety management system. Moreover, the result shows that feeling of afraid and confused while driving within the construction zones significantly affecting driver's risk of having an accident. Conclusions: The findings of this study offer that a strategic planning and evaluation of the logistics drivers' satisfaction and construction workers' participation to mitigate highway accidents at construction zones and that drivers' knowledge and perception toward construction safety management plays a significant role in preventing highway accidents at the construction areas.

  • In road work zones, pedestrian workers' habituated inattention to warning alarms from construction vehicles can lead to fatal accidents. Previous studies have theorized that human factors such as personality traits may affect workers' inattentiveness to workplace hazards. However, there has been no study that directly examined how road construction workers' personality traits affect their attention to warning alarms within a work zone and the likelihood of engagement in a struck-by accident. This study examines how workers' sensation-seeking (especially boredom susceptibility) is related to inattention to warning alarms while performing a task in road work zones. An experiment with actual road construction workers was conducted using a virtual road construction environment. Workers' attention to repeatedly presented warning alarms was measured using eye-tracking sensors. In response to workers' frequent inattentive behaviors, a virtual accident was simulated. Results revealed a significant association between boredom susceptibility and workers' engagement in the virtual accident, a consequence of inattentiveness to warning alarms. The findings suggest that workers' personality traits predispose them to tune out warning alarms and become vulnerable to accidents in road work zones. The findings of this study can be used to develop targeted interventions aimed at preventing workers' inattention to repeatedly exposed workplace hazards, thereby contributing to reducing fatal accidents in road work zones.

  • Frequent accidents occur when workers at construction sites leave the safety zone, and particularly in the past 5 years, 9 fatal accidents occurred at the Korea Railroad Corporation due to train accidents on other tracks during track work. With the Severe Accident Punishment Act taking effect in January 2022, it is a priority to secure a safe work environment for workers at industrial (construction) sites. Therefore, there is a need to manage workers' departure from the safety zone (construction zone) and to facilitate communication within the construction zone. In this study, a mobile edge computing CCTV system is proposed that uses geofencing to determine whether workers are working in the danger zone, which can judge and respond in real-time to the ever-changing field environment. The proposed system is mobile and flexible, rather than server-based fixed CCTV. However, since it is designed mainly based on images, it has limitations in recognition rate depending on the environment such as distance, viewing angle, and illumination. As a way to compensate for this, it is required to develop more reliable equipment by combining technologies such as LiDAR and Radar.

  • The deep excavation work in Korean downtown is almost excuted near by existing structures and utility lines because of the diminution of available yard for construction. So, it was required more and more that the accurate control of displacement on the earth retaining system for minimizing the popular complaint and the damage from constructional accident. Automatic monitoring system is adopted in fracture zone for real time monitoring. In addition, Face mapping is carried out on the face of fracture zone according to excavation sequence. As the result of automatic monitoring system and face mapping, we was able to take the necessary reinforcement and changing excavation method within suitable time. This paper is informed about a stability case on the deep rock excavation site with fracture zone in urban area by automatic monitoring system.

  • 도로점용공사를 비롯 각종 공사구간은 주변의 혼잡을 가중시키고 차량과 통행자들의 불편을 증가시키며 교통사고의 위험도를 증가시키는 중요한 요인이 되어 인명피해 사고가 발생하기도 한다. 또한 대형다중이용시설을 이용하기 위한 차량 및 이용자들로 인한 교통지체는 막대한 경제적 손실을 가져온다. 현재 공사장 등에 대한 교통안전체계를 위한 관련법규 제정되어 있으나 실효성 미비로 인명 사고 및 지체로 인한 경제적 손실 지속적 발생되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 선진국에서 시행하고 있는 교통유도경비(일본), 교통통제관제 (캐나다, 미국 등)의 제도 도입은 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 외국의 선진사례를 분석하여 현행 한국의 현황을 살펴보고 한국에 적합한 교통유도경비의 도입방안을 제시하는데 있다. 교통유도경비의 자격은 일정한 교육과 시험을 통과한 교통유도경비원에게 1급, 2급, 기술사를 부여하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 법제도를 개정하여 도로상의 공사와 혼잡한 장소 등에 있어서는 교통유도경비의 자격증을 가진 사람에 한하여 의무적으로 설치할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다. 교육시간에 이론교육은 기본교육과 전문교육이 포함되어야 한다. 기본교육에는 법규의 이해, 직무의 이해 등이 포함되어야 하고 전문교육에서는 교통관리, 안전교육, 교통사고의 이해, 교통통제시설물의 조작, 사고시 처리방법 등을 실무교육에서는 현장에서의 교통유도업무(수신호, 안전물설치, 교통사고 처리, 응급처치 등)등이 포함된다.

  • A heat pipe residual heat removal system is proposed to be incorporated into the reactor driven subcritical (RDS) facility, which has been proposed by MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory for testing and demonstrating the Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR). It aims to reduce the risk of the system operation after the shutdown of the facility. One of the main components of the system is an air-cooled heat pipe heat exchanger. The alkali-metal high-temperature heat pipe was designed to meet the operation temperature and residual heat removal requirement of the facility. The heat pipe model developed in the previous work was adopted to simulate the designed heat pipe and assess the heat transport capability. 3D numerical simulation of the subcritical facility active zone was performed by the commercial CFD software STAR CCM + to investigate the operation characteristics of this proposed system. The thermal resistance network of the heat pipe was built and incorporated into the CFD model. The nominal condition, partial loss of air flow accident and partial heat pipe failure accident were simulated and analyzed. The results show that the residual heat removal system can provide sufficient cooling of the subcritical facility with a remarkable safety margin. The heat pipe can work under the recommended operation temperature range and the heat flux is below all thermal limits. The facility peak temperature is also lower than the safety limits.
