PURPOSES: Road Design Consistency Evaluation can guarantee road alignments with safety factors, however it can be hard work to deal with general car accident factors in only this evaluation index. Ideal Road Design Consistency Evaluation is show the mutual balance of road alignment and human factors with a variety of factors for road safety. METHODS: This study carried out overall road safety evaluations which are methods of running speeding consistency and car platoon safety analysis (driver's behaviors factors) as well. RESULTS: Out of 13 sections in a experimental road layout, safety factors of 8 sections showed 'Good' or 'Fair' status. However, 'Poor' results were found out in 5 sections. Particularly, it showed the different outcomes among the 4 evaluation methods used in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Road safety countermeasures were proposed for the potentially dangerous sections in road which failed to identify in the other methods. This study will contribute toward future study of more reliable Road Design Consistency Evaluation in the future for road safety.

PURPOSES : Safety consciousness can be the first factor to hinder the acceptance of design alternative, which moderates the applied design criteria in order to adapt the road to the natural terrain condition. METHODS : The method which enables to check the safety of design alternative by using design consistency concept is suggested. The method is based on the linked or interactive analysis between terrain and road alignment. Real design example is considered as a guide how to apply the method and the analysis result is discussed with the future research. RESULTS : Suggested method can be used for designers as a tool to review their design outputs can be safe as much as the original design. So, designers have the more objective judgement on their designs and have the confidence on their designs. CONCLUSIONS : The method is expected to be used as a tool to see the safety consciousness in an objective view, so any possible conflicts between designers and design-related personnels caused by the terrain-oriented design can be solved.

고속도로에서 교통사고에 중요한 두 영향요소는 운전자요소와 도로환경요소로 구분되어 진다. 그동안 여러 연구에서 도로환경요소중 설계요소로 알려진 곡선반경, 종단경사, 편경사, 관찰속도와 교통사고와 관련성을 연구하였고 그 밀접한 관련성을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서는 이들 관련요소 크기가 교통사고와 관련성이 깊다는 사실에 대하여 상관관계분석을 통하여 확인하고자 하였다. 이에 더하여 이들 설계관련요소의 표준편차를 설계일관성으로 정의하고 교통사고의 증감과 비교하여 봄으로써 표준편차로 특징 지워지는 설계요소와 설계속도의 일관성이 교통사고 발생과 상관성이 깊다는 사실을 도출하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 선형설계과정에서 설계일관성의 수치화된 활용을 더 활성화시킬 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 3차원의 실제 도로형상을 고려하여 일관성을 평가하는 방법으로 가속도 개념을 사용하였다. 차량의 운행과 운전자가 받는 느낌을 근거로 가속도는 안전에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 특히. 운전자를 중심으로 가속도의 크기는 상당한 영향 요소로서 작용되어진다. 이를 근거로 3차원 도로상에서의 각 지점의 가속도를 계산하고 일관성 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 가속도의 계산은 3차원의 변위를 각각 계산하여 변위에 대한 벡터의 합으로 정의하였고 곡선부 내에 속도 예측모형(정준화, 2001)을 사용하여 속도 프로파일을 작성하고 이 프로파일을 근거로 각 지점의 속도를 정하여 가속도를 구하였다. 일관성 평가는 기존의 연구에서 3차원 가속도의 범위를 정하고 g-g-g diagram을 작성하여 해당 범위에 벗어나는 것을 일관성에 어긋나는 것으로 간주하고 평가의 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 최소 설계 기준을 바탕으로 가상의 도로를 예시로 들어 가속도의 변화를 계산함으로서 일관성 평가 방법을 적용하였으나 해당 방법이 한계가 드러나 있는 기존의 속도 예측모형을 사용하고 있어 기타의 차량 상태(서스펜션, 타이어, 차종 등)를 고려하지 못하기에 정확한 가속도의 값을 제시하지는 못한 실정이다. 그러나 속도 프로파일만 정의되어지면 복합곡선, 완화곡선 등의 모든 도로형상에 대하여 가속도를 계산함으로서 이를 도로의 일관성 평가에 사용이 가능할 것이나 현재는 3차원 형상이 고려된 속도예측모형과 복합선형 등이 고려된 속도예측모형을 제시할 수 있을 것이다. 향후에는 이러한 속도예측모형이나 속도프로파일모형에 관한 연구가 계속 이루어져야 하고 실험차량을 통한 일관성 평가의 정확한 기준의 개발과 검증이 요구된다.

PURPOSES : Previous Speed Profile reflects the patterns of speeds in sections of tangents to curves in the roads. However these patterns are uniform of speeds and Acceleration/Deceleration. In oder to supplement these shortcomings. this study made a new profile which can contain factors of Acceleration/Deceleration through theories of Previous Speed Profiles. METHODS : For sakes, this study developed the speed prediction model of Rural Multi-Lane Highways and calculated Acceleration/Deceleration by appling a Polynomial model based on developed speed prediction model. Polynomial model is based on second by second. Acceleration/Deceleration Profile is developed with the various scenarios of road geometric conditions. RESULTS : The longer an ahead tangent length is, The higher an acceleration rate in curve occurs due to wide sight distance. However when there are big speed gaps between two curves, the longer tangent length alleviate acceleration rate. CONCLUSIONS : Acceleration/Deceleration Profile can overview th patterns of speeds and Accelerations/Decelerations in the various road geometric conditions. Also this result will help road designer have a proper guidance to exam a potential geometric conditions where may occur the acceleration/deceleration states.

PURPOSES : Ambiguous decision on whether rural or urban area for road design can increase the construction cost and restrict the land use of surrounding area. However, administrative classification on rural and urban area is not directly related to road design because of this classification is not based on the engineering viewpoint, so method which can explain the road design context is required. METHODS : Method which enables to identify the area for road design is suggested based on the deceleration expected to be experienced by drivers who use the road section concerned. Deceleration rate corresponding to the area such as rural or urban suggested in Road Design Guideline is used as the criteria to identify the area by comparing this value with the estimated deceleration rate at the road section concerned. Speed profile method is utilized to derive the deceleration rate, and speed estimation way for reflecting both road geometry and intersection is suggested using stopping sight distance concept. RESULTS : The procedure of the method application is suggested, and the design example utilizing the method is provided. CONCLUSIONS : The method is expected to be used to identify the area for road design with engineering viewpoint, and design consistency among the roads with similar driving environment can be made.

현행 도로설계의 기준이 되는 "도로의 구조 시설 기준에 관한 규칙 해설 및 지침"에서는 설계속도에 따라 도로 선형별 최소 설계기준을 정하고 있으며, 이 기준을 만족시키면 교통안전성 이 확보되는 것으로 규정하고 있다. 이러한 설계기준에 적용되고 있는 개별 설계요소들은 원칙적으로 차량 및 운전자 특성을 감안하여 설치기준이 정립되었으나, 설계요소간의 연관성 또는 일관성에 대한 깊이 있는 연구를 통해 제반 기준이 정립된 것은 아니다. 결과적으로, 현재의 도로설계기준이 개별 설계 요소들의 조합에 의해 결정되는 도로의 안전성, 일관성 문제를 모두 고려하지는 못하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 설계기준에 내재된 문제점을 인지하고 해결을 위해 우선적으로 3차원 가속도를 고려한 선형 설계방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 더욱 안전하고 조화로운 도로건설을 유도하고자 한다.

PURPOSES : This study devotes its energies to estimate greenhouse gas emissions for types of horizontal highway designs. METHODS : This paper suggested two types of road scenarios, scenario 1 is made by the lack of road design consistency. Beside scenario 1, scenario 2 is made by good road design. For comparisons of greenhouse gas emissions, driving simulator was used. RESULTS : Emission rates of road scenario 1 are 1.4 times higher than scenario 2 in the driving simulator. CONCLUSIONS : This study may have important implications for contributing to the application of road alignment technology for reduction of greenhouse gases as quantifying the correlations between greenhouse emissions and various road alignments. Consequently, this study will help road designers determine which roads are best alternatives in the process of choosing the roads in the future in terms of environmental benefits.

차량의 주행속도는 설계일관성을 평가하는 주요한 척도로 활용되며 그 중 곡선반경은 여러 연구에서 공통적으로 제시한 주된 요인으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 복합선형에서 설계속도별 적정 평면곡선반경 범위기준을 정립하고 운전자의 인지 행태를 나타낼 수 있는 인지반경을 정립하여 입체선형에서 적합한 평면곡선반경을 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 본 연구에서는 저속차량의 방해요소를 최소화하기 위하여 입체선형을 고려한 도로의 임의지점에서 횡방향 미끄럼 마찰계수와 주행방향 미끄럼 마찰계수를 동시에 고려하여 설계속도와 종단경사별 평면곡선반경을 제시하였다. 둘째, 본 연구에서는 곡선부 인지반경을 통하여 평면 곡선부와 편평한 종단경사가 조합된 경우, 평면 곡선부와 종단곡선부가 조합된 경우를 비교한 후, 곡선부 인지반경을 산정하여 설계속도별 적정 평면곡선반경과 인지반경 비율을 제시하였다.
