PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to reduce greenhouse gases and prevent potholes on roads by evaluating the performances of hot and warm mixed asphalt mixtures. METHODS : Quality tests were conducted using an appropriate aggregate ratio of the asphalt mixture. The tests for comparing the warm mixed asphalt mixture are the indirect tensile strength and toughness, Marshall stability and flow, tensile strength ratio, and dynamic immersion test. A performance evaluation was conducted using a mixture that satisfied the quality test results. A performance evaluation test was also conducted using the dynamic modulus and Hamburg wheel tracking test. To analyze the performance based on the amine content, the performance was compared with that of a hot mixed asphalt mixture. RESULTS : All tests for the mixture results satisfied the standard values. The optimal amine content was analyzed through the high and low frequencies of the dynamic modulus test results and stripping inflection point with the final rut depth of the Hamburg wheel tracking test. The dynamic modulus test results demonstrated better crack resistance and plastic deformation when a high amine content ratio was used. The Hamburg wheel-tracking test showed water resistance and plastic deformation resistance. The test results of the Hamburg wheel tracking indicated better deformation resistance and water resistance when a high amine content ratio was used. CONCLUSIONS : The plastic deformation and crack resistance increased with an increase in amine content. Analysis of the comprehensive test revealed that the optimal amine content was between that of additives B(50%) and C(65%). Tests with a granular amine content are planned to confirm the specific components. Also planned are a simplified viscoelastic continuum damage test and a semicircular bending test to evaluate the performance better.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to develop techniques for forecasting black ice using historical pavement temperature data collected by patrol cars and concurrent atmospheric data provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration. METHODS : To generate baseline data, the physical principle that ice forms when the pavement temperature is negative and lower than the dew-point temperature was exploited. To forecast frost-induced black ice, deep-learning algorithms were created using air, pavement, and dew point temperatures, as well as humidity, wind speed, and the z-value of the historical pavement temperature of the target segment. RESULTS : The suggested forecasting models were evaluated against baseline data generated by the above-mentioned physical principle using pavement temperature and atmospheric data gathered on a national highway in the vicinity of Young-dong in the Chungcheongbukdo province. The accuracies of the forecasting models for the bridge and roadway segments were 94% and 90%, respectively, indicating satisfactory results. CONCLUSIONS : Preventive anti-icing maintenance activities, such as applying anti-icing chemicals or activating road heating systems before roadways are covered with ice (frost), could be possible with the suggested methodologies. As a result, traffic safety on winter roads, especially at night, could be enhanced.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term trend of internal strain within the continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) based on measurements. METHODS : The strains of the concrete and reinforcing bars were measured at two induced cracks and one construction joint. The analysis was performed using data accumulated over five years from the concrete placement. The effects of the initial construction conditions were investigated by comparing the strains and stresses at each location. RESULTS : In the long-term behavior, the highest tensile strains of the concrete and rebar were observed from December to January, and the lowest tensile or the highest compressive strain was observed from July to August. A lower rebar stress was measured in the construction joint, which has a higher steel ratio than that of cracks. As the distance from the crack and joint increased, the rebar strains decreased. Higher tensile strains of the concrete and rebar were measured where a higher concrete setting temperature occurred. A gradual decrease in the maximum concrete tensile strain was observed in the five-year measurements. However, in the case of reinforcing bars, stress reduction with time was not observed in the long-term behavior. CONCLUSIONS : Although a gradual decrease in concrete strain was revealed by long-term measurements, it is predicted that minimizing the concrete setting temperature to reduce the initial tensile strain could effectively increase the fatigue strength of CRCP

PURPOSES : In this study, the amount of core stone breaking in the size of boulders by excavator braker work was analyzed quantitatively through on-site test construction. In addition, the factors affecting workload were studied. METHODS : In the field test, 30 core stones of boulder sizes (1–4 m3) that appeared during earthworks, such as road construction and site construction, were collected from three locations, and the rock breaking work was carried out simultaneously using three excavator breakers(1.0-m3 volume). During the core stone breaking, progress was analyzed through video recordings. RESULTS : After the completion of rock breaking, the amount of breaking work was analyzed by direct loading and weighing using a 15- ton dump truck. As a result of the test construction, there was a significant difference in the amount of work completed per hour. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the results were greatly affected by not only the performance of the excavator braker equipment, but also the skill of the driver and the size of the core stones.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of installing highway rest areas reflecting continuous driving time as a factor that can affect drowsy driving. METHODS : In this study, various models were tested for representing the effect of reducing accidents of highway rest areas. Among the various models including negative binomial, a series of the zero-inflated models reflecting accidents, the zero-inflated model showed the best suitability. RESULTS : According to the results of the zero inflated negative binomial model, installation of highway rest areas was found to have an accident reduction effect of approximately 11.93%. This is somewhat lower than the accident reduction effect estimated in previous studies. In addition, variables related to continuous driving time were found to affect accidents caused by drowsy driving. CONCLUSIONS : Basically, by using the continuous driving time index, a vehicle that has been driving continuously for more than 2 hours or if the continuous driving time is increased for more than 2 hours, the probability of accidents increases. However, in the case of trucks, a more in-depth study is needed on whether an increase in trucks induces defensive driving of other vehicles and this causes a reduction in accidents. Thus, it is necessary to use the variable cautiously for the highway rest area installation plan.

PURPOSES : A methodology for estimating micro-emission factors using vehicle trajectory data collected from navigation and DTG devices and basic emission factors for each vehicle type of the MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is presented. The methodology can calculate micro-emissions based on only the traffic volume and average speed for each vehicle type. METHODS : Cluster analysis was performed by accumulating the trajectories of individual vehicles on a specific road section into speed groups in which vehicles drove with the same range of average speed. Then, the micro-emission factors were estimated for each speed group. RESULTS : Using the vehicle trajectory data revealed that the emissions calculated from micro-emission factors estimated by the proposed methodology were similar to the sum of the emissions calculated from the vehicle trajectories for each vehicle. CONCLUSIONS : The micro-emission factor database for each road type and vehicle type proposed in this study should be useful for estimating vehicle emissions on the road. The proposed method can calculate emissions in the same way as the macroscopic analysis method, using the traffic volume, average speed, and link length.

PURPOSES : It is necessary to implement traffic-control strategies for underground roads. In this study, the application criteria for traffic control were developed to minimize actual traffic congestion on underground roads before it occurs. In particular, the traffic congestion judgement criteria and procedure (TJCAP) were developed. They can specifically classify the possibility of traffic congestion underground. METHODS : A microscopic traffic simulation model was used to analyze different scenarios. With the scenario simulation results, a hierarchical clustering analysis was applied to produce quantitative values from the TJCAP for each experimental network case. RESULTS : For network case (a), it was concluded that the possibility of traffic congestion on underground roads increases when the speed of the ground road connected to the main underground road and the connected ground road after the outflow of the ramp section is low. When the connected road is an interrupted facility after entering the underground roads, the red time is long, and when the section travel speed is 15 km/h, the possibility of traffic congestion underground is highest. A cluster analysis based on these results was performed using two techniques (elbow and silhouette) to verify the final classification. CONCLUSIONS : The TJCAP were designed to operate traffic flow with stricter criteria than traffic congestion management on ground roads. This reflects the difference in the driving environment between underground and above-ground roadways.

PURPOSES : In the case of a turning maneuver at an at-grade intersection or changing the driving path, the trajectory of a vehicle with a long body, such as a large bus or an articulated bus, should be analyzed from the perspective of road design. In this study, an articulated bus was selected to analyze the off-tracking, swept path width, and lane encroach hment for vehicle turning. METHODS : In this study, four scenarios were developed for right- and U-turn situations. For the right-turn situation, cases were divided into radii of 15 m (Scenario 1) and 40 m (Scenario 2). For the U-turn situation, the cases were analyzed based on a U-turn after stopping at the stop line (Scenario 3) and without stopping at the stop line for the U-turn (Scenario 4). Each scenario was examined at 5° (Right-turn) and 10° (U-turn) angles to analyze the off-tracking, swept path width, and lane encroachment. In addition, four Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas were installed on top of the articulated bus to obtain the driving trajectory of the vehicle. GPS locational reference points were marked on the testing ground to improve positioning accuracy. RESULTS : As a result of the right-turn analysis at an intersection radius of 15 m (Scenario 1), the average off-tracking per angle was 1.04 m, the average swept path width was 3.89 m, and the lane encroachments occurred at an angle of 65° to 70°. For the right-turn analysis at an intersection radius of 40 m (Scenario 2), the average off-tracking per angle was 3.71 m, and the average swept path width was 3.31 m. Unlike the results for the 15-m radius, no lane encroachment was found. Furthermore, the averages of the off-tracking in the at-grade intersection U-turn situation were 2.65 m (Scenario 3) and 2.54 m (Scenario 4), and the average swept path width was 6.15 m. CONCLUSIONS : The required driving width when an articulated bus performs a turning maneuver at an at-grade intersection was analyzed, revealing the implications that must be considered for busway design.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate directions for future smart city transportation policies and service development by evaluating road service satisfaction levels and predicting future service demand. METHODS : A nationwide survey was conducted in Korea to develop a transportation service evaluation system based on the functions and objects of transportation. The satisfaction level of road service was evaluated using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), promising service sectors were identified using the revised importance-performance analysis (IPA) technique, and detailed service demands by sector were suggested. RESULTS : The most valuable service value felt by the people was "safety" (weight 0.4), and the overall satisfaction level was 68.9 points, slightly exceeding "normal." As a result of analyzing the promising service sectors by dividing them into urban and rural areas, "handicapped, elderly, and pedestrians" were important in both areas, and "road facility maintenance" was classified as an additional promising sector for rural areas. CONCLUSIONS : People demand that future smart city transportation policies and services should be "people" and "safety" centered. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the development of new services but also to the improvement of problems with existing services and policies.

PURPOSES : In this study, the factors affecting the severity of traffic accidents in highway tunnel sections were analyzed. The main lines of the highway and tunnel sections were compared, and factors affecting the severity of accidents were derived for each tunnel section, such as the tunnel access zone and tunnel inner zone. METHODS : An ordered probit model (OPM) was employed to estimate the factors affecting accident severity. The accident grade, which indicates the severity of highway traffic accidents, was set as the dependent variable. In addition, human, environmental, road condition, accident, and tunnel factors were collected and set as independent variables of the model. Marginal effects were examined to analyze how the derived influential factors affected the severity of each accident. RESULTS : As a result of the OPM analysis, accident factors were found to be influential in increasing the seriousness of the accident in all sections. Environmental factors, road conditions, and accident factors were identified as the main influential factors in the tunnel access zone. In contrast, accident and tunnel factors in the tunnel inner zone were found to be the influencing factors. In particular, it was found that serious accidents (A, B) occurred in all sections when a rollover accident occurred. CONCLUSIONS : This study confirmed that the influencing factors and the probability of accident occurrence differed between the tunnel access zone and inner zone. Most importantly, when the vehicle was overturned after the accident occurred, the results of the influencing factors were different. Therefore, the results can be used as a reference for establishing safety management strategies for tunnels or underground roads.

PURPOSES : A highway operates in a continuous flow and has restricted access. When an accident occurs on a highway, the impact on the traffic flow is large. In particular, an accident that occurs in a tunnel has a more significant impact than an accident that occurs in a general section. Accordingly, the management agency classifies the tunnel as a dangerous section and manages a tunnel of more than 1000 m using the Tunnel Transportation Management System. The purpose of this study was to select dangerous tunnels that require intensive management for the efficient management of highway tunnels. METHODS : In this study, for the selection of dangerous tunnels for expressways, all highway tunnels were classified into five clusters by characteristics. The traffic accident severity — equivalent property damage only (EPDO) — for each tunnel cluster was derived through a traffic accident analysis. Based on the severity analysis results, the safety performance function (SPF) for each cluster was established, and the accident risk tunnel was selected based on the potential safety improvement (PSI) value of each tunnel calculated using the empirical Bayes (EB) method for each tunnel cluster. RESULTS : As a result of the analysis, accident risk tunnels were selected based on the PSI values of the tunnels for each highway tunnel group. Finally, 55 hazardous tunnels were identified as hazardous tunnels: 13 tunnels in Cluster 1, 3 tunnels in Cluster 2, 15 tunnels in Cluster 3, 18 tunnels in Cluster 4, and 6 tunnels in Cluster 5. CONCLUSIONS : After classifying all 1232 tunnels on the highway into five clusters according to tunnel characteristics, EPDO analysis was performed for each tunnel cluster. To this end, the SPF for each cluster was constructed, and accident risk tunnels were selected based on the PSI value of each tunnel calculated using the EB method for each tunnel cluster. The tunnel cluster was classified as a typical tunnel type. As a result, most of the first and second values were calculated from cluster E (long tunnel cluster).
