Recently, the fire safety of road tunnels has been important issues in South Korea. However, proper fire safety regulations has not made for road tunnels. Due to geographical challenges in South Korea, road tunnels should be constructed to secure stable traffic flows. In the Guidelines for Installing and Managing Disaster Prevention Facilities of Road Tunnels (NFSC 603), main target vehicles are passenger cars. This guidelines cannot support big fires from larger vehicles such as cargo, oil trucks. In this study, fire safety for a road tunnel in port area was analyzed with fire dynamics theory under cargo truck fire scenario. Sujunsan road tunnel in Busan city was chosen as a target tunnel, which links between Busan port and highways to increase cargo shipping. The results show the limitations of present guidelines (NFSC 603) for road tunnel from large fire situations.

The construction of roads, tunnels, and bridges results in changes to the local terrain that may influence the ground safety factor, which represents the stability of geotechnical structures. In this study, we assessed construction sites that had collapsed as a result of terrain change, and then simulated variation in the ground safety factor with respect to terrain change caused by road construction. We assumed steep slopes to simulate changes in terrain in a mountainous area and assumed that earthworks took place for road construction by cutting a platform into the slope and altering the slope angle of the terrain both above and below the road. We calculated values of the ground safety factor through a stability analysis of the slope both above and below the road, and examined the variation in the safety factor of the above- and below-road slopes with respect to changes in road width. We found that if the slope angle was the same above and below the road, then the change in the ground safety factor during/after road construction occurred in the slope below the road, and if the slope angle above the road differed from that below, then the change occurred in both the above- and below-road slopes. Furthermore, the ground safety factor was essentially constant for road widths exceeding 2-6 m, depending on both above- and below-road slope angle. The findings of this study can be used to guide the management of construction sites and to assess changes in ground stability during road construction work, particularly in the early stages of earthworks, when the road width is narrow.

도로의 안전성은 종단선형, 평면선형, 횡단경사(편경사), 노면온도 등 여러 가지 요인에 의하여 결정되며 이러한 각종 데이터는 도면으로 구하기 어렵고 실제 도면과 현황 데이터가 포장의 덧씌우기 등으로 달라지는 경우가 있다. 이러한 데이터를 측량하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 비용이 필요하고 차량의 통행이 빈번한 곳에서는 위험한 작업이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술연구원의 도로 안전성 조사 분석차량인 RoSSAV(Road Safety Survey & Analysis Vehicle) 차량을 이용하여 주변 교통류 속도와 맞추어 차량에 부착된 GPS-INS와 회전식 레이저를 이용하여 도로의 횡단경사를 취득하고 분석을 통하여 도로의 안전성을 분석하고 도로의 안전성 개선방향에 대하여 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 측정된 값의 정확도를 비교하였으며 회전식 레이저데이터 처리 알고리즘을 제시하였다.

In order to reduce traffic accident, the interaction between drivers and roads should be studied in drivers' behaviour standpoints, and then this must be applied to the establishment of the road design standard. The K-ROADS(KICT-Road Analysis Driving Simulator) was developed to analyze and evaluate the road safety at the project HuRoSAS(Human & Road Safety Analysis System), since 2003. This has two distinct functions. One is the visual system which has 360 degree F.O.V. to reduce a dead angle on black spots as at-grade intersection. The other is the motion system which reproduce high frequency vibration made in irregular road surface and vehicle's motion. The K-ROADS has been used the study on the effect of alternatives of speed hump, and the study on the interior wall design of long tunnel to safety standpoints.
