  • Incentive/Disincentive (I/D) contract is designed for minimizing any disruption of traffic flow in road construction projects. I/D contracting projects have been evaluated with regard to time and cost performance in various states, more than 35 states. However, construction project managers and planners have little understanding of the project factors that affect the project time and cost performance of highway construction projects using I/D regulations. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find factors that affect I/D project success or failure to improve the decision-making process for the implementation of I/D projects. In order to achieve the objectives of this research, the researchers collected I/D road construction project data from FDOT and performed evaluation for each collected project. Then, project data analysis to identify key factors that affect I/D project performance was performed. In conclusion, five significant factors for project time performance and six significant factors for project cost perfornace were identified and summarized.

  • A one-dimensional kinematic wave model was used to calculate temporal and spatial changes of the highway runoff. Infiltration into pavement was considered using Darcy's law, as a function of flow depth and pavement hydraulic conductivity ($K_p$). The model equation was calculated using the method of characteristics (MOC), which provided stable solutions for the model equation. 22 storm events monitored in a highway runoff monitoring site in west Los Angeles in the U.S. were used for the model calculation and evaluation. Using three different values of $K_p$ ($5{\times}10^{-6}$, $10^{-5}$, and $2{\times}10^{-5}cm/sec$), total runoff volume and peak flow rate were calculated and then compared with the measured data for each storm event. According to the calculation results, $10^{-5}cm/sec$ was considered a site representative value of $K_p$. The study suggested a one-dimensional method to predict hydrodynamic behavior of highway runoff, which is required for the water quality prediction.

  • US transportation agencies are dealing with shrinking budgets, limited work forces, and deteriorating infrastructure. In order to cope with funding uncertainty, state highway agencies are now looking into their own organizations and identifying programs, practices, and processes that have potential for cost saving. A quality assurance (QA) program is an integral part of highway construction and ensures a project's contracted level of quality. The cost of quality (conforming and nonconforming) can constitute a sizable part of total construction cost. As the quality assurance programs evolved, various practices and processes were developed over time and later adopted by state highway agencies. These practices and processes include different QA standards and specifications, varying testing methods, central testing lab vs. on site testing, performance based vs. prescribed quality assurance practices, implementation of innovative quality assurance practices, etc. Therefore, there is an opportunity to assess different QA strategies and recommend those practices that are effective and cost efficient. A national survey was conducted by the authors, which provided a detailed mapping of various QA practices and processes used as part of QA programs and identified areas where agencies can focus on for cost savings. The survey found that QA sampling and testing plans, optimization of sampling plans, optimization of QA standards and specifications, and implementation of innovative test methods and processes are the main areas the agencies should focus to lean the current QA programs.

  • PURPOSES : This study is to develop a automate road mapping system using ARASEO(Automated Road Analysis and Safety Evaluation TOol) for road management. METHODS : The road survey van named ARASEO(Automated Road Analysis and Safety Evaluation TOol) was used to generate highway drawings for Korea National Road number 37 automatically. In order to generate the highway drawings for purpose of road management, it is required to acquired the information for highway alignment, road width and road facilities such as safety barrier and road sign. Therefore the survey van acquired and analyzed the road width, median and guardrail data using rear side laser sensor of ARASEO and recognized the traffic control sign and chevron sign using foreside camera images. Also the highway alignment which is the basic information for highway drawing can be analyzed by acquisition the every 1m positional and attitude data using GPU and IMU sensor and developed algorithm. Finally, in this research the CAD based drawing software was developed to draw highway drawing using the analysis result from ARASEO. RESULTS : This study showed the comparison result of the surveyed road width and drawing data. To make the drawing of the road, we made the Autocad ARX program witch run in CAD menu interface. CONCLUSIONS : Using this program we can create the road center line, every 500m horizontal and vertical ground plan drawing automatically.

  • Vegetation surveys were performed at 45 plots along 10 highways cut slopes in South Korea. Total floral inventory, species richness and exotic plant percentage were obtained within each plot. Life history and life form of each species appeared were analyzed. Community types were classified using hierarchical cluster analysis and detrended correspondence analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling were conducted from vegetation matrix. 292 species of vascular plants were discovered and the number of natives and exotics were 226 and 66, respectively. There were no significant differences of species richness and exotic plant percentage between cut slopes and rest areas. Hierarchical cluster analysis indicated five clear vegetation associations in cut slopes and rest areas. Detrended correspondence analysis indicated that species composition of total and native plants were similar along the highway cut slopes whereas exotic plants were distributed differentially along the highway cut slopes. in non-metric multidimensional scaling, the studied sites were more separated from each other on the basis of their species composition than the results of detrended correspondence analysis with respect to total, native and exotic plants. The both ordination represented that exotic plants have not been made uniform yet on cut slopes and rest areas by highway corridor in spite of diverse chronosequences after highway construction termination (1 to 22 years). This study showed that the distribution of species composition in exotic plants was different and localized on cut slopes and rest areas of highway in this representative peninsula area of North East Asia and the invasion of exotic plants can retard the process of plant species homogenization.

  • 이 논문은 1960년대 박정희 대통령에 의해 추진된 경부고속도로의 건설에 내재된 이동성과 구획화의 정치에 초점을 두고, 이를 정치경제학적으로 분석하고자 한다. 경부고속도로는 첫째 교통로를 통한 이동성의 창출로 권위주의적 정치권력을 강화하고 사회공간적 통합을 이루어내는 중요한 힘이었으며, 둘째 '비장소'로서 새로운 '기계공간'의 확충을 통해 국토공간의 물리적 경관과 국민들의 일상생활의 리듬을 바꾸어 놓는 위력을 가졌고, 셋째 시공간적 압축을 통해 자본의 회전시간을 단축하여 자본주의 경제가 발전할 수 있는 물적 토대를 제공했다. 그러나 경부고속도로는 이에 포섭된 지역(수도권과 동남임해지역)과 배제된 지역(즉 호남지역과 강원지역)간 불균등발전을 틀지웠을 뿐만 아니라, 결국 이에 포섭된 지역들 내에서도 불균등발전을 심화시켜 수도권과 그 외 지역들 간을 구획화하는 정치경제적 균열화를 초래했다. 경부고속도로는 또한 이동성의 심화에 따른 장소 소외와 건설 운영과정에서 생태적 문제를 유발하였다. 이러한 '고속도로의 비극'을 해소하고 고속도로가 진정한 균형과 통합의 길로 거듭나기 위하여 '지속가능한 정치'가 요구된다.

  • Recently, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance announced a plan to reduce the proportion of economic evaluation in non-metropolitan areas and strengthen balanced development evaluation through the reorganization of the preliminary feasibility study system. In addition, the social value of the quality of life, such as job, environment, and safety, which may be affected by the implementation of transportation facility investment projects, was reflected as the main item of policy evaluation. In this study, the ripple effect of the project in terms of social value was reviewed for the Gangil-Chuncheon. The effect of highway opening was investigated by reviewing the feasibility report, post-evaluation report, and statistical indicators. Recently, the Gangil-Chuncheon highway is getting used by around 110,000 people per day. The number of tourists in Chuncheon rapidly has increased from 5 million a year to more than 11 million now. In addition, it was confirmed to produce effects such as population migration, net inflow and land price increase, improvement of living convenience, and expansion of emergency medical care. Although this ripple effect was influenced by various socio-economic factors as well as the opening of the highway, it is clear that it is difficult to occur without the opening of the highway. It is judged that the evaluation of indirect benefits and social values due to the opening of the highway can be quantified through continuous research and data construction. Post-evaluation of construction works, including project efficiency evaluation and ripple effect evaluation, is performed for construction works with a construction cost of more than 50 billion won. In the future, we will continuously improve the evaluation system in order to evaluate the indirect benefits and social values of public investment projects.

  • 본 연구는 기존의 도로기능분류 정의와 방법론을 벗어나 교통특성에 따른 도로분류 방법론인 도로특성분류를 기초로 분석을 수행하였다. 도로특성분류에 대한 일련의 과정 중에서 다양한 교통특성을 반영하는 설명변수를 기초로 요인점수를 산출하고, 동질한 도로구간을 그룹핑하는 군집화 분석과정과 적정 군집수 도출에 따른 군집결과비교에 본 연구는 초점을 맞추었다. 도로분류를 위해 병합적 계층 군집분석인 Ward법, 비계층적 군집분석인 K-means법, 자율신경 회로망을 이용한 K-SOM을 사용하여 비교분석하였다. 각 군집기법에 대한 결과를 토대로 비교분석한 결과, 군집 수 5 이하에서는 K-means법, 군집 수 14 이상에서는 Kohonen selforganizing maps가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 군집수 5~9사이에서는 Ward법과 Kmeans법의 군집 성능이 불규칙한 패턴을 보임에 따라 세밀한 결과분석을 통해 우수성을 결정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 다양한 교통특성을 고려한 도로구간의 군집 속성을 분석하고 예측하는 분류화 작업에 중요한 기초적인 자료로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

  • 도로 및 철도 등의 투자평가에 있어 도로부문에서 발생하는 통행시간 절감편익의 추정이 가장 중요한 부문을 차지한다. 우리나라에서 현재 적용되고 있는 대부분의 교통시설 투자평가지침은 BPR 함수의 시간-교통량 관계를 이용하고 있으며, 연평균일일교통량(AADT)에 첨두시간 교통량의 비율(설계시간 계수)을 곱한 교통량을 기준으로 산출되고 있다. 그러나 AADT 에 설계시간계수를 적용하는 문제와 우리나라의 많은 도로구간이 거의 용량상태에 다다르고 있는 상황 등으로 인하여 총통 행시간이 과다추정되는 것에 대한 문제제기가 있어왔다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방식을 대신하여, 일년간 시간대별 교통량 분포를 이용하여 총통행시간을 산출함으로써 이러한 문제를 극복하여 보다 현실성 있는 통행시간을 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제 시하였다. 일반국도를 대상으로 이 방법론의 적용효과를 분석하였으며, 이 방법론은 도로의 위계 및 유형별로 AADT를 제공하게 되면 다른 유형의 도로에 대하여서도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • In this paper, in order to study the relationship between the safety culture of highway management agencies and disaster reduction activities (BCMS), a measurement tool was identified through previous research on safety culture, and the validity of the measurement tool was confirmed through exploratory factor analysis. I want to check. The subjects of the study were workers belonging to disaster reduction activity management system certification organizations among highway management organizations. The highway management agencies are the Korea Expressway Corporation, which manages the functional continuity of national highways nationwide, and 8 of the 21 private road agencies that manage the functional continuity of the highways. The safety culture measurement tool is an indicator that measures safety culture factors, and is reorganized by the researcher based on survey items from previous studies, with management/manager safety values and attitudes, safety communication, safety education and training, and safety regulations/management system as subfactors. A total of 24 questions were comprised of the survey tool. As a result of the study, the result of exploratory factor analysis was that the safety culture scale was extracted into four factors based on theoretical grounds, and the total cumulative variance was 80.360%. When checking the questions for each factor, it was found that all the questions loaded on the factor that was originally intended to be measured. Factor 1 is management, factor 2 is safety, and factor 3 is communication., Factor 4 was named education. Number of questions: 4 management questions, 3 safety questions, communication It consisted of 4 questions and 2 education questions.
