최근 결빙으로 인한 교통사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 도로순찰시 육안 인식이 어려운 도로살얼음 검지를 위해 다양한 방식의 검지센서가 도입되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 상용화되어 있는 차량부착식 노면상태 검지센서에 대한 현장 검증을 통해 국내 도 로조건에의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 차량부착식 검지센서의 성능을 평가하기 위해 한국건설기술연구원의 연천SOC실증연구센터 내 의 도로기상재현 실험시설에 결빙(Ice), 습윤(Wet), 건조(Dry) 등 3가지의 노면상태가 육안으로 명확히 구분이 가능하도록 도로환경을 구현하였으며, 센서종류별로 차량에 부착하여 다양한 도로상태를 측정하였다. 평가결과 노면상태 측정결과의 정확도는 높은 것으로 나 타났으나, 그 외의 측정항목의 정확도는 상당한 차이가 발생하기도 하였다. 향후 다양한 도로환경 조건에서 추가적인 시험을 통해 차 량부착식 노면상태 검지센서의 현장적용을 기반자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 급격한 기후 변화로 인해 도로 교통사고의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 특히 겨울철에 자주 발생하는 도로 살얼음(블랙아이 스) 현상이 주요 원인 중 하나로 지목되고 있다. 도로살얼음의 형성 메커니즘은 다양한 요인에 따라 복합적으로 작용하며, 당시의 도 로 기상 조건과 도로의 기하학적 구조에 따라 얼음의 형태 및 강도가 결정된다. 그중에서도 도로 노면 온도는 도로살얼음 형성에 중 요한 요소로, 여러 나라에서 겨울철 교통안전 평가를 위한 주요 지표로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 도로 노면 온도에 대한 명확한 정 의가 부족할 뿐만 아니라, 측정 방법에 따라 계측 편차와 온도 손실 등 여러 한계가 존재해 정확한 온도 측정이 어려운 실정이다. 이 에 본 연구는 지중 깊이에 따른 온도 데이터와 도로 기상 데이터를 결합하여 보다 정밀한 도로 노면 온도 예측 방법을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구를 위해 지중 깊이 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 7cm, 9cm, 15cm, 20cm에 각각 온도 센서를 설치하였으며, 기상 데이터는 해당 지점에서 2m 떨어진 AWS(Automatic Weather System)를 통해 대기 온도, 습도, 강수량, 일사량 등의 정보를 수집하였다. 이를 바 탕으로 지중 온도와 기상 조건의 상관관계를 활용하여 노면 온도를 예측하는 방법론을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 도로 노면 온도 예측의 정확성을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라, 새로운 접근 방식을 통해 노면 온도의 정의를 재정립하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

국내 도로포장에서는 겨울철 결빙으로 인한 교통사고가 자주 발생하고 있다. 특히, 최근의 기후변화에 따른 동절기 사고건수가 증가 하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 도로노면 결빙 재료 및 공법, 기술들이 개발되고 현장에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 도로 노면 결빙 및 공법 관련 기술들에 대한 성능평가가 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 도로환경에서 발생되는 환경조건 등의 모사를 통한 도로 노면 결빙 공법 및 기술의 성능평가를 위한 실증실험시설이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 동절기 도로포장에 대한 기본적인 환경조 건을 분석하여 이를 기반으로 도로노면 결빙 관련 환경모사가 가능한 실증실험시설을 구축하였다. 도로노면 결빙에 영향을 주는 요소 는 대기온도, 노면온도, 습도, 풍속, 기압 등의 다양한 인자가 있다. 이러한 요소중에 실증실험시설 구축에서는 대기온도, 노면온도, 습 도, 풍속을 모사할 수 있도록 하였다. 도로노면 결빙에 있어 노면온도가 중요한 요소로 작용할 수 있기에 챔버내에 시편의 온도를 제 어할 수 있는 내부챔버를 추가로 구성하였다. 또한, 도로노면 결빙을 유발할 수 있는 어는비 분사장치 및 온․습도 변화에 따른 시편 의 모니터링을 위해 열화상 카메라를 이용하도록 구성하였다. 도로노면 결빙 실증실험시설이 효율적으로 운영된다면 다양하게 개발되 는 기술들에 대한 실험을 통해 성능평가가 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 이를 기반으로 실증실험시설의 운영에 대한 매뉴얼 및 평가 방법 등을 마련하는 것이 필요하다.

PURPOSES : In this study, the basis for improving the maintenance method of road pavement in Jeju Island, where deterioration is accelerating, was presented through field construction and analysis of various combinations of maintenance methods. METHODS : Construction was performed on Jeju Island's Aejo Road, which has high traffic and frequent early damage, using various asphalt mixtures mainly applied in Jeju Island, with different maintenance cross-sections depending on the level of repair. The quality and performance of the asphalt mixture collected during construction were evaluated, and MEPDG was used to analyze the service life according to the type and maintenance level of the mixture. RESULTS : While the mixture for the surface layer satisfied the quality standards and had excellent rutting and moisture resistance performance, the asphalt mixture for the intermediate and base layer did not satisfy the quality standards such as air voids, so it was judged that quality control was necessary during production. The section repaired to the base layer was found to be advantageous for the integrated behavior of the pavement and had the best structural integrity. As a result of predicting the service life, the estimated life of the section where only the surface layer was repaired was analyzed to be approximately 7 years, the section where the intermediate layer was repaired was 14.5 years, and the section where the entire section up to the base layer was repaired was analyzed to be 18 years. CONCLUSIONS : In Jeju Island, where deterioration is accelerating, it was analyzed that when establishing a maintenance plan, it is necessary to consider repairing the middle and base floors in order to secure the designed life of 10 years.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to improve the service life of asphalt pavement using basalt aggregate in Jeju Island by evaluating the performance of asphalt pavement through analysis of material and structural aspects. METHODS : To evaluate the performance of Jeju Island's asphalt pavement, cracks, permanent deformation, and longitudinal roughness were analyzed for the Aejo-ro road, which has high traffic and frequent premature damage. Cores were collected from Aejo-ro sections in good condition and damaged condition, and the physical properties of each layer were compared and analyzed. In addition, plate cores were collected from two sections with severe damage and the cause of pavement damage was analyzed in detail. RESULTS : About 45% of the collected cores suffered damage such as layer separation and damage to the lower layer. The asphalt content of surface layer in the damaged section was found to be 1.1% lower on average than that in the good condition section, and the mix gradations generally satisfied the standards. The density difference between the cores of each layer was found to be quite large, and the air voids was found to be at a high level. CONCLUSIONS : Test results on the cores showed that, considering the high absorption ratio of basalt aggregate, the asphalt content was generally low, and the high air voids of the pavement was believed to have had a significant impact on damage. High air voids in asphalt pavement can be caused by poor mixture itself, poor construction management, or a combination of the two factors. Additionally, the separation of each layer is believed to be the cause of premature failure of asphalt pavement.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate an asphalt mixture via field application to utilize basalt aggregates produced on Jeju Island for a warm mix asphalt (WMA). METHODS : Using commercially available WMA additives, an indoor experiment is conducted on low- and high-void aggregates among basalt aggregates on Jeju Island. The physical properties of the WMA mixture are evaluated using one solid type and two liquid types of WMA additive. To evaluate the applicability of the WMA additives, air void, saturation, aggregate void, Marshall stability, flow number, indirect tensile strength, and toughness tests are performed. For the field application of WMA using basalt aggregates, three types of pavements (HMA, WMA-Solid, and WMA-liquid) are constructed. When applying the pavements in the field, an anti-stripping agent is incorporated to improve the water resistance while considering the characteristics of the basalt aggregate. Samples are acquired via plant and field coring to evaluate the properties of the materials applied in the field. RESULTS : In the indoor test for analyzing the applicability of the commercialized WMA additives to basalt aggregates, all tests except the indirect tensile strength test show results that satisfy the standards. All test results, including that from the indirect tensile strength test, satisfy the standard values in the test that uses the sample material obtained from the plant. Similarly, in the test with field cores, all test results satisfy the standard values. Therefore, the experimental value in the field application is generally higher than the test value in the indoor experiment. It is inferred that this is due to the difference between the basalt aggregates used in the indoor and field experiments, as well as the addition of the anti-stripping agent. CONCLUSIONS : Basalt aggregates produced on Jeju Island can be used for WMA pavements, as demonstrated via indoor experiments and field applications. However, owing to the characteristics of basalt aggregates, a method for improving water resistance should be considered, and tests to determine the indirect tensile strength should be performed using various basalt aggregates. In addition, because various basalt aggregates exist owing to the diverse geology characteristics of Jeju Island, they should be evaluated via more experiments and field applications.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to preliminarily examine the field applicability of modular pavement marking tape (PMT) to increase the lane awareness of motorists on existing roadways. METHODS : A pavement marking tape (PMT) comprises an adhesion layer and a paint coating layer. The adhesion layer is prepared using gussasphalt-based materials that have properties similar to those of existing asphalt materials. Thermal adhesion is performed to adhere the tape to the pavement. For the paint coating layer, polyurea materials are selected after reviewing the existing materials suitable for pavement lane marking. To conduct field evaluations on the adhesion layer, monitoring is performed after the pilot deployment of the PMT is completed. Twelve samples are prepared to investigate the optimal ratios for the mixture of paint coating layer materials. The durability of the PMT is examined using a turntable road-marking test system (RPA) with a wheel load on the samples. A total of 50,000 RPA, equivalent to P4, is performed. The performance is evaluated by capturing the retroreflectivity measure, which is used as an indicator of the pavement marking performance. The PMT is utilized on a roadway segment with significant heavy vehicle traffic, and continuous monitoring is performed to examine its performance in the field. RESULTS : Based on a visual inspection of the adhesion layer material, no significant issue is observed in terms of the adhesion performance of the PMT. Furthermore, the overall retroreflectivity obtained from the RPA exceeds 300 mcd/m2·lux. It is discovered that the optimal ratios for the mixture of polyurea and binder for the paint coating layer are 4:6 and 2:8, respectively, which results in a retroreflectivity that is 90% or above the initial retroreflectivity. Using a prototype of the PMT for field tests, a performance evaluation is conducted by analyzing the retroreflectivity measured after 2 and 7 weeks from the prototype deployment. The retroreflectivity measured for the first 2 weeks after the deployment appears acceptable for field use. However, the retroreflectivity is reduced significantly when it is measured 7 weeks after deployment, resulting in the necessity for a more reliable material that can retain long-term durability. CONCLUSIONS : The lane awareness of a motorist is crucial for accident mitigation under not only nighttime driving, but also severe weather conditions. In this regard, modular PMT is expected to increase the lane awareness of motorists, thereby improving the quality of lane marking materials. In this study, various exploratory field tests are conducted to analyze the field applicability of the PMT. It is noteworthy that the results presented herein are obtained from preliminary performance evaluations of the PMT. Hence, further investigations pertaining to the long-term durability of PMTs must be conducted using advanced test equipment such as an accelerated pavement tester.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to analyze the crack and vertical behaviors of a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) under three different steel ratios (0.6%, 0.7%, and 0.8%) using field measurement data acquired from isolated concrete slabs with transverse cracks. METHODS : Using an LVDT and a crack gauge, CRCP behavior data are acquired by segmenting a concrete slab into multiple sections based on the similarity in the longitudinal steel ratio of each section. To examine the vertical behavior of CRCP based on longitudinal steel ratios, three field experiments are conducted in February, May, and September three years after project completion. The minimum and maximum ambient temperature data for each section are acquired during the experiments. Using the data acquired, the vertical and crack behaviors of CRCP with 0.6% of longitudinal steel ratios are analyzed. In addition, the effect of the steel ratio on the vertical behavior as well as seasonal vertical behaviors are examined. RESULTS : Analysis of the vertical behavior of concrete slabs with a 0.6% steel ratio shows that the minimum vertical displacement occurred at the center of the slab, whereas a significant vertical displacement is detected on the edges of the slab. Based on examining vertical displacements formed along the direction of transverse cracks, it is observed that the vertical behavior is prominent around the shoulders, whereas similar vertical behaviors are observed at the center and joints of the slab. Furthermore, it is discovered that the minimum crack occurred at the center of the transverse cracks, whereas the maximum crack occurred on the shoulders and joints. Furthermore, it appears that the daily displacements of the vertical behavior at the center of the slab constitute approximately one-half of the daily displacements on the joints. Based on the results of vertical behavior as a function of the longitudinal steel ratios, it is discovered that steel ratios of 0.7% and 0.8% yield the most prominent vertical behaviors around the edge of the shoulder in the winter, spring, and fall seasons. The seasonal deviations of the vertical behaviors based on the measuring positions of the longitudinal steel ratios appear less significant at the center of the slab than those on the shoulder. In particular, for the slab with a steel ratio of 0.8%, subtle vertical behaviors are observed at the center. It is discovered that the seasonal deviation of the vertical behavior measurements varying by the measuring locations of the steel ratios appears less significant at the center of the slab than at the shoulder, and that it decreases with the steel ratio. CONCLUSIONS : CRCP generates cracks on the slab; however, they are managed by rebars in the CRCP. This study reveals that the major vertical and crack behaviors of CRCP occur around the shoulders than at the center of the CRCP slab. Therefore, new methods for managing cracks on the CRCP shoulder should be developed to improve the performance of CRCP. It is hoped that the results presented herein will be useful for the advanced analysis of CRCP behaviors.

PURPOSES : This study aims to develop drainage minor-structure materials using asphalt mixtures, and to apply construction methods. METHODS : The AP-5, 120-150A, and 150-200A binders were adopted to select the optimal asphalt binder for the domestic application of asphalt concrete in curb construction. The mixture design of asphalt mixtures has applied the standard for evaluating asphalt curb mixtures in Korea. Test construction utilized asphalt curb equipment to evaluate asphalt mixtures, according to the type of asphalt binder. RESULTS : The results of the asphalt mixture design indicated that the optimum asphalt content was determined at 2–3% air void for each type of asphalt binder, and the quality of the asphalt mixture applied with asphalt curb binder was excellent. In addition, the quality difference was significant, depending on the temperature of the asphalt mixture at each phase of the asphalt curb construction. CONCLUSIONS : Asphalt curb construction using asphalt materials has a large impact on the quality, depending on the temperature of the asphalt mixture, therefore management at the appropriate temperature is important when applying it to the site. Further research is also required on the production, transportation, and dedicated equipment of asphalt mixtures.

PURPOSES : This study primarily aims to develop and evaluate a Smart Station - a novel underground pipeline measure system - to overcome the challenges of conventional surveying methods. METHODS : This study built two prototypes of the Smart Station. By reflecting issues revealed through the field tests of the first prototype, this study produced the second Smart Station prototype. The organization of the hardware units in the second prototype was reconfigured to maximize its usability for operators in the field. Furthermore, by developing the ‘Digital Twin X’, an integrated Smart Station management software suite, the second prototype was capable of 1) producing a digital workbook for field operators, 2) managing underground pipeline information, and 3) displaying 3-dimensional maps in and around an underground pipeline. The applicability of the second prototype was examined through three field tests conducted in one open space location, where no urban valley effects were expected, and two locations in a downtown area, with urban valley effects. Given the actual field installation of underground pipelines, this study collected data via both conventional surveying methods and the Smart Station to evaluate the performance of the Smart Station. Analyzing the field data, this study examined the data collection time and position accuracy of an underground pipeline measured by the Smart Station. RESULTS : The field test results revealed that both the conventional surveying method and the Smart Station produced similar performances in data collection time and measurement accuracy in the open space test location. However, in the case of downtown locations affected by urban valley effects, the Smart Station achieved 100 % measurement accuracy while the conventional surveying method achieved 93 % accuracy. It was also observed during the field test that no data were collected due to the constraints of the work schedule and various field conditions (e.g., weather and/or traffic congestion). The data collection times at the open space locations were 10 s for both the conventional surveying method and the Smart Station. However, the data collection times at the downtown locations appeared to be 10 s and 360 s by the Smart Station and the conventional surveying methods, respectively, thereby proving that the Smart Station outperforms the conventional method in its measurement efficiency. CONCLUSIONS : It is envisioned that the Smart Station produces higher work efficiency for field operators as it enables them to collect high accuracy data in a timely and quick manner and not only build a database for the collected data but also vividly visualize it in the field. In the future, it is necessary to conduct additional field tests under various conditions for the in-depth investigation of a Smart Station. In addition, it is expected that the Smart Station will be enhanced by coupling augmented reality (AR) technologies.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to propose the certification process of International Roughness Index measuring device, i.e., a method for evaluating riding quality on road surfaces. METHODS : ROMDAS was selected as a reference device for verifying the accuracy of the IRI measuring device and the reliability of ROMDAS was checked through leveling in the laboratory and outdoors. To verify four different IRI measuring devices in Korea, the proper field test section was selected and IRI evaluation was conducted. A distance measuring instrument (DMI) - for verifying the accuracy of mileage - and IRI (as an index of roughness) were selected as the main evaluation parameters. For DMI verification, five repeated experiments were conducted for a 1 km section and, for IRI verification, speed variables of 40 km/h, 60 km/h, and 80 km/h were selected. Each device was tested at each speed 10 times. The accuracy of the measurement device was analyzed by comparing the measurement results with the verification criteria. RESULTS : As a result of the comparative experiment between the leveling and ROMDAS devices, the deviation of each measurement point value was within 1 mm and the R2 value was 0.8, demonstrating an excellent correlation. As a result of DMI verification, the tolerance of the three devices was found to be within 0.1 %; however, one device had a tolerance of 0.8 %, indicating that correction was necessary. For IRI evaluation, the average IRI value of the two reference devices was 2.02 m/km and the Minnesota standard was used as an analysis criterion. After the test, only one of the four devices was found to be effective across all speed ranges. Therefore, it was determined that additional sensor calibration is required to improve accuracy. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, the IRI device accuracy was evaluated through field tests. Hence, a new certification process for the IRI test device was proposed via four steps. To improve the accuracy of the IRI measurement, it is necessary to periodically verify the device. If this proposed certification process is applied, the accuracy of the IRI devices can be improved.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to address various problems, such as an increase in material cost and premature failure (e.g., cracks and potholes) of porous pavements, and to develop multifunctional asphalt and asphalt mixtures to ensure the long-term commonality of porous asphalt pavements. METHODS : A basic quality test of two types of porous asphalt mixtures was performed. One type consisted of the existing porous asphalt mixture, using domestically presented grading, and the other a porous asphalt mixture using high-viscosity modified asphalt with enhanced low-temperature properties, aimed at improving strain resistance and developed by applying the grading suggested by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). RESULTS : The cantabros loss rate was 19.62 % for conventional modified asphalt (PG 82-22) and 5.95 % for the developed highviscosity modified asphalt (PG 88-28), indicating that both mixtures passed the criteria. Regarding the drain-down loss rate, mixtures using both types of asphalt were found to pass all quality standards. The average permeability coefficients for each porous asphalt mixture were 0.023 and 0.018 and both types of porous asphalt mixtures satisfied the quality standard of 0.01 cm/s, as given by the Asphalt Concrete Pavement Guidelines of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. CONCLUSIONS : As a result of the mix design of the two porous asphalt mixtures, the mixture developed in this study was found to be superior to the conventional porous asphalt mixture using conventional porous asphalt grading and modified asphalt.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of an active noise cancellation (ANC) system in reducing the traffic noise level against frequencies from the predictive model developed by previous research. The predictive model is based on ISO 9613-2 standards using the Noble close proximity (NCPX) method and the pass-by method. This means that the use of these standards is a powerful tool for analyzing the traffic noise level because of the strengths of these methods. Traffic noise analysis was performed based on digital signal processing (DSP) for detecting traffic noise with the pass-by method at the test site. METHODS : There are several analysis methods, which are generally divided into three different types, available to evaluate traffic noise predictive models. The first method uses the classification standard of 12 vehicle types. The second method is based on a standard of four vehicle types. The third method is founded on 5 types of vehicles, which are different from the types used by the second method. This means that the second method not only consolidates 12 vehicle types into only four types, but also that the results of the noise analysis of the total traffic volume are reflected in a comparison analysis of the three types of methods. The constant percent bandwidth (CPB) analysis was used to identify the properties of different frequencies in the frequency analysis. A-weighting was applied to the DSP and to the transformation process from analog to digital signal. The root mean squared error (RMSE) was applied to compare and evaluate the predictive model results of the three analysis methods. RESULTS: The result derived from the third method, based on the classification standard of 5 vehicle types, shows the smallest values of RMSE and max and min error. However, it does not have the reduction properties of a predictive model. To evaluate the predictive model of an ANC system, a reduction analysis of the total sound pressure level (TSPL), dB(A), was conducted. As a result, the analysis based on the third method has the smallest value of RMSE and max error. The effect of traffic noise reduction was the greatest value of the types of analysis in this research. CONCLUSIONS : From the results of the error analysis, the application method for categorizing vehicle types related to the 12-vehicle classification based on previous research is appropriate to the ANC system. However, the performance of a predictive model on an ANC system is up to a value of traffic noise reduction. By the same token, the most appropriate method that influences the maximum reduction effect is found in the third method of traffic analysis. This method has a value of traffic noise reduction of 31.28 dB(A). In conclusion, research for detecting the friction noise between a tire and the road surface for the 12 vehicle types needs to be conducted to authentically demonstrate an ANC system in the Republic of Korea.

소음관련문제는 도심지 인구 집중화 현상 및 개인소유 차량 증가 현상 등으로 인하여 해가 거듭할수록 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 실제 국민권익위원회는 2012년~2014년 각 해마다 6월~8월 기간 동안 소음민 원접수 건수가 약1만 4천 건을 초과했음을 발표한 바가 있다. 또한 세종시는 시·도별 인구 10만 명당 민 원 발생건수가 가장 높게 집계되었고, 생활, 공사장, 교통으로 인한 소음문제가 압도적으로 많은 비중을 차지하였다. 이러한 소음문제피해를 최소화하기 위해 현재 국내 각 기초자치단체에서 구조물을 설치하거 나 저소음포장을 실시하는 등의 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이 외에도 같은 특성의 음향을 각기 다른 두 음원 에서 발생시켜 중첩시키는 원리를 적용한 ANC 시스템에 대한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 하지만 도로교통소 음은 시간과 장소 등 다양한 변위에 영향을 받고 다른 소음원에 비해 주기가 짧아 이 기법을 적용하는 데 어려움이 있다. 그러므로 정확한 수음점에서의 음향특성과 소음원에서부터 전달 특성을 파악하기 위해서 기존연구를 토대로 도로교통소음 예측모델을 ANC 시스템에 적용할 경우 음향 감쇠효과를 어느 정도 발 휘할 수 있는지를 평가하였다. ANC시스템의 적용을 위해 수음점에서 소음도 측정이 가능한 pass-by계측방법과 차량검지기를 활용하 여 도로에서 발생하는 소음도를 측정하였다. 되는 예측소음과 측정소음도를 대조하는 과정에서 정확성을 판단하기 위해 LimA Predictor를 활용하였고 국제규격 ISO-9613-2의 음향 방사효과를 적용하였다. 그림 1은 음향의 저감 효과를 적용한 뒤, 수음점에 서 인간이 감지할 수 있는 음향을 파악하기 위해 해당 주파수 별로 A-가중치를 적용한 총 음압레벨을 도출 하였다. 이는 주파수 별 음향을 감쇠하는 과정으로 측 정된 주파수 별 음압에서 예측한 주파수 별 음압을 파 워차로 상쇄시킨다. 이 결과를 통해 감쇠효과를 파악 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 ANC 시스템을 활용하여 서로 다른 음원에서 음파를 중첩시킬 수 있는 경우 음향의 감쇠효과는 최소 11dB(A)에서 최대 22dB(A)까지임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 여러 요인이 영향을 미치는 도로교통소음의 특징상 실제 증명한 감쇠효과보다 적을 것으로 판단하였다.

PURPOSES: This study is to predict the Sound Pressure Level(SPL) obtained from the Noble Close ProXimity(NCPX) method by using the Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm employing the taylor series and Linear Regression Analysis based on the least square method. The objective of utilizing EKF Algorithm is to consider stochastically the effect of error because the Regression analysis is not the method for the statical approach. METHODS: For measuring the friction noise between the surface and vehicle’s tire, NCPX method was used. With NCPX method, SPL can be obtained using the frequency analysis such as Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT), Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Constant Percentage Bandwidth(CPB) Analysis. In this research, CPB analysis was only conducted for deriving A-weighted SPL from the sound power level in terms of frequencies. EKF Algorithm and Regression analysis were performed for estimating the SPL regarding the vehicle velocities. RESULTS : The study has shown that the results related to the coefficient of determination and RMSE from EKF Algorithm have been improved by comparing to Regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS : The more the vehicle is fast, the more the SPL must be high. But in the results of EKF Algorithm, SPLs are irregular. The reason of that is the EKF algorithm can be reflected by the error covariance from the measurements.
