PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of 3D multichannel ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, which is mainly used for road cavity detection. The optimal signal analysis method was also proposed for 3D GPR data. METHODS: Four types of 3D GPR equipment were used to detect road cavities in a pilot road section in Seoul. The obtained GPR signals were evaluated in the time and frequency domain using raw data. In addition, various types of filters were applied to time domain (B-scan) data to examine the optimal signal processing. RESULTS: The time and frequency domain analysis of raw data showed that all the equipment produced reverse and strong signal reflections owing to the low dielectric permittivity of air in the cavity compared with neighbor materials. Also, the asymmetric parabolic curve was observed as well. The optimal signal processing method was determined to detect road cavities: zero-setting and background removal should be applied to all equipment. Bandpass filtering can be optionally applied to remove high-frequency noise or direct waves. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the different specifications of GPR equipment in terms of signal generation and bandwidth, the GPR signals were appropriate in terms of zero-setting, noise level, and depth of investigation. Therefore, all the multichannel GPR devices evaluated were found to be suitable to detect road cavities located at depths of 1.0 and 1.5 m after the application of proper filtering process.

PURPOSES: This paper develops a new stochastic approach to analyze the pavement-vehicle interaction model with a certain roughness and elasticity for the pavement foundation, thereby accommodating the deflection of the pavement, and to identify the road subsidence zone represented with a sudden changes in the elasticity of the foundation. METHODS: In the proposed model, a quarter-car model was combined with a filtered white noise model of road roughness and a two-layer foundation (Euler-Bernoulli beam for the top surface and Winkler foundation to represent the sub-structure soil). An augmented state-space model for the subsystems was formulated. Then, because the input is White noise and the system is represented as a single system, the Lyapunov equation governing the covariance of the system’s response was solved to obtain a structurally weak zone index (WZI). RESULTS: The results showed that the WZI from the pavement-vehicle interaction model is sensitive enough to identify road subsidence. In particular, the WZI rapidly changed with a small change in foundation elasticity, indicating that the model has the potential to detect road subsidence in the early stage. CONCLUSIONS: Beacause of the simplicity of the calculation, the proposed approach has potential applications in managing road conditions while a vehicle travels along the road and detecting road subsidence using a device with an on-board computational capability, such as a smart phone.

PURPOSES: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a model developed for road surface temperature change pattern in reflecting specific road characteristics. Three types of road sections were considered, namely, basic, tunnel, and soundproof tunnel. METHODS: A thermal mapping system was employed to collect actual road surface temperature and locational data of the survey vehicle. Data collection was conducted 12 times from 05:30 am to 06:30 am on the test route, which is an uninterrupted flow facility. A total of 9010 road surface temperature data were collected, and half of these were selected based on a random selection process. The other half was used to evaluate the performance of the model. The model used herein is based on machine learning algorithms. The mean absolute error (MAE) was used to evaluate the accuracy of the estimation performance of the model. RESULTS: The MAE was calculated to determine the difference between the estimated and the actual road surface temperature. A MAE of 0.48℃ was generated for the overall test route. The basic section obtained the smallest error whereas that of the tunnel was relatively high. CONCLUSIONS: The road surface temperature change is closely related to the air temperature. The process of data pre-processing is very important to improve the estimation accuracy of the model. Lastly, it was difficult to determine the influence of the data collection date on the estimation of the road surface temperature change pattern due to the same weather conditions.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the behaviors of the middle slab in a double-deck road tunnel subjected to construction equipment loading from such as a concrete pump car, concrete transmixer, and lifting crane. METHODS: The major construction processes of a middle slab include concrete placement, concrete transportation, and lifting of materials near the emergency passageway section. During the concrete placement, the middle slab is subjected to construction loading due to the presence of the concrete pump car and fully loaded concrete transmixer. During the concrete transportation, the middle slab is subjected to loadings from both the fully loaded and empty concrete transmixer. The emergency passageway section of the middle slab is subjected to crane loading during lifting work. The magnitudes and geometries of these construction loadings are determined and the stresses and deflections of the middle slab under these loadings are analyzed using finite element models of the middle slab. The behaviors of the middle slab under the design truck loadings are also analyzed to compare the results with those under construction loadings. RESULTS : The stresses and deflections of the middle slab under construction loadings are comparable to those under the design truck loadings. Higher stresses can be observed when the concrete transmixers cross paths at the expansion joint section of the middle slab. The behaviors of the middle slab under the construction loadings during concrete placement are very similar regardless of the section types of the middle slab such as the normal, expansion joint, and emergency passageway sections. CONCLUSIONS : When the middle slab is designed, the construction loadings should be considered to determine the primary design loads and to verify the usability of a variety of construction equipment.

여우(Vulpes vulpes)는 식육목 개과 여우속에 속하는 동물로서, 과거에는 도서 지역을 제외한 전국에 넓게 분포하였으나 밀렵, 개발, 서식지파괴 등 다양한 이유로 인해 환경부는 멸종위기야생생물 Ⅰ급의 법정보호종으로 지정하였으며, 환경부와 국립공원관리공단 종복원기술원은 2012년 부터 소백산국립공원을 중심으로 경북 영주시 일원에서 여우 종복원사업을 진행하고 있다. 여우복원사업을 성공적으로 추진하는데 가장 중요한 요소는 대상종의 서식지 환경이다. 여우의 서식지 환경에 대한 연구는 유럽이나 북미, 일본 등에서 광범위하게 연구되어져 있고 국내 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 경북 영주시 일원에서 자동차 및 열차에 의해 죽은 방사 여우 5개체 지점에 대해 현장 주변 환경 조사를 하였고 5개의 좌표를 수집하여 고도, 경사, 향, 지형, 토지이용 등을 활용 하여 GIS 및 MaxEnt분석을 통해 방사 여우의 로드킬 당한 지역의 환경 특성 및 위험 잠재 지역을 파악하였다. 여우가 로드킬 당한 지점의 도로는 열차 철로 2곳, 일반 국도 1곳, 면･리간 도로 1곳, 미분류 도로 1곳인 도로 형태였고, 고도, 경사, 향, 농경지(논, 밭, 과수원)로 부터의 거리, 주거지로 부터의 거리, 수계와의 거리, 토지이용현황 등 6가지 환경 인자들을 이용하여 로드킬 발생 지역 유형을 도출 하였다. 로드킬 장소 환경 분석 결과, 평균고도 193m(150∼ 211m), 경사는 4°(0∼12.4°), 향은 남향 1곳, 서향 1곳, 나머 지는 개활지이었다. 농경지와의 거리는 평균 63m(10∼ 152.6m), 주거지와의 거리 91m(10∼215.4m), 수계와의 거리 257m(140∼545m)이었고 주변 토지 이용은 교통지역 3곳, 밭 1곳, 과수원 1곳으로 나타났다. 로드킬이 일어난 주요 지역 특징은 주거지, 농경지 등 인위적인 시설이 인접한 도로에서 발생한 것으로 분석되었다. 잠재지역 예측 분석은 로드킬 지점 개수(n=5)가 적은 관계로 Bootstrap 방법으로 50회 추출하여 분석하였고 환경 인자는 고도, 경사, 향 등 3가지 인자를 사용하였다. AUC값은 0.803이었고, 로드릴 잠재지역 예측에 가장 영향을 준 환경인자는 경사 (68.6%)인 것으로 나타났다. 방사 여우 로드킬 지역은 주거지, 농경지 등 인위시설에 인접한 도로 시설에서 확인되었다. 여우의 안정적인 개체수 증가와 서식지 형성을 통한 성공적인 복원사업을 위해서는 여우 생존을 위협하는 로드킬 예방에 대한 정책 및 관리방 안이 반드시 필요할 것이다. 이를 위해 로드킬 예방을 위한 캠페인, 도로 속도 제한 구역 설정, 로드킬 예방 표지판 설치 등 관리 대책을 마련해야 하고, 복원사업 공감대 형성 및 유지를 위해 지자체 등의 유관기관, 시민단체, 지역주민 등과의 협력이 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 자동차와 열차의 방사 여우 로드킬 장소를 GIS 와 MaxEnt프로그램을 이용하여 주변 환경 분석 및 잠재 로드킬 지역으로 예측하여 여우 개체수를 감소시키는 원인인 로드킬 지역을 분석함으로써 여우의 생태습성 기작을 밝히는데 기초자료를 제공하는데 의의가 있는 바이다. 하지만 로드킬 지점 개수(n=5)가 부족하여 로드킬에 대한 객관적이고 정확한 결과 도출은 힘든 부분이 있었다. 향후 분석 지점수가 증가하여 확률이 높고 신뢰성 있는 연구 결과를 도출하여야 하여야 할 것이다.

PURPOSES : This paper proposes a design framework for planetary road infrastructure by considering the characteristic environment, natural resource, and loading conditions on the Moon and Mars. METHODS : From the perspective of civil engineering, available literatures such as technical articles, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Technology Roadmaps 2015, Strategic Knowledge Gap, and mechanistic-empirical pavement design method are comprehensively reviewed for planetary road construction. The concept of in situ resource utilization (ISRU) is re-interpreted by comparing ISRU on the Earth and Moon with emphasis on the significance of interconnection between resource utilization and infrastructure development. RESULTS : According to the literature reviews, the factors that have significant effect on planetary road pavement design, construction, and maintenance are selected and evaluated. In addition, by considering the interconnection issue, a design framework is suggested that includes the resource issues not only of planetary road pavement but also of construction equipment. Subsequently, the framework is widened to apply for preliminary planetary infrastructure. CONCLUSIONS : Although the proposed preliminary design framework is not conclusive and has to be elaborated, an initial framework to consider interconnection issues and ISRU is suggested for planetary road pavement. The suggested framework will be applied for road pavement design and will be used to evaluate the cost-benefit ratio of alternatives.

The purpose of this study is to derive landscape image characteristics of “Insadong-gil” using text mining analysis of big data. Keywords were collected and analyzed through blogs and cafes containing “Insadong-gil” on domestic portal sites Naver and Daum as basic data for research purposes. As a result, 28 landscape image characteristic keywords related to “Insadong-gil” were derived, and the correlation of the extracted keywords was examined to analyze landscape image characteristics. The results of the landscape image characteristics of Insadong-gil are as follows: First, Insadong-gil is recognized as a street of diverse cultures, including “traditional culture” and a “clean street” reputation. Second, we see that “couples” and “tourists” visit for activities such as a “picnic”, “date”, or “travel”. Couples are able to take “photos” and foreign tourists visit to enjoy the hanbok experience on Insadong-gil. Third, the purpose of visiting Insadong-gil includes keywords for activities such as “picnic”, and “walking”, but cultural activities such as exhibitions, performances, and experiences appeared less. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to continuously plan and implement marketplaces, festivals, and events on Insadong-gil as supplements; and create a cultural space visitors can actively approach with familiarity.

본 연구는 임도개설 전･후 년차별로 식물상 및 식생에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 식생의 변화 및 관리 방안을 제공하기 위하여 민주지산 조사구간을 대상으로 임도개설 전년도인 2012년부터 임도 개설 2015년까지 4년에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 임도개설 조사구간 내의 식물군락은 북서사면에서 신갈나무군락, 남서사면에서 굴참나무군락과 일본잎갈나무군락으로 구분되어 남서사면과 북서사면에서 군락의 차이를 보였다. 임도개설 전･후 년차별로 식물상의 변화는 임도 개설 전인 2012년도 총 66분류군(44과 59속 51종 13변종 2품종)에서 2015년도에는 209분류군(71과 153속 178종 27변종 4품종) 으로 143분류군이 증가한 것으로 조사되었다. 특히 2013년도에 개설된 임도 근접 사면부의 조사구에서는 차후 년차적 으로 높은 식피율과 새로운 분류군의 증가를 보였는데 이는 임도 개설 후 광량이 급격히 증가하여 일어난 현상으로 사료된다. 임도 개설 마지막 년도인 2015년 식생조사 결과를 보면 임도 개발 다음연도는 초본층의 피도가 증가하다가 그 후에는 관목층의 피도가 현저히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 2013년과 2014년에 비해 임도 개설 지역 근접 사면의 식피율이 많은 증가를 보였는 바 지속적인 보완 조사가 수행된다면 향후 임도개설 전･후 식물상 및 식생 변화에 있어서 면밀히 분석된 매뉴얼이 완성될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 도로변 선형의 가로녹지 조성이 고밀시가지 대로와 건물 사이에 조성한 보행로 및 오픈스페이스의 미세먼지 농도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 부산시 중앙대로와 부산광역시청 건물 사이에 폭 약 70m로 조성된 오픈스페이스를 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 조사결과 가로녹지가 없는 지역의 경우 주중과 주말 모두 차도와 인접한 오픈스페이스의 농도차이가 미미하였으나, 반대로 가로녹지가 조성되어 있는 지역은 차도에 비해 오픈스페이스의 농도가 현저히 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 가로녹지가 조성된 지역은 차도와 보도 모두에서 미조성지역보다 미세먼지량이 높게 나타나고 있어 차도와 건축물 사이가 넓은 공간의 경우 가로녹지의 조성이 전체적으로 도로 밖 오픈스페이스의 미세먼지농도를 높이는 효과를 보였으며, 특히 차도보다 오픈스페이스에 미치는 영향이 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 현상은 차량에 의해 발생한 미세먼지가 빠른 바람흐름에 의해 가로변 관목림을 통과하지만 바람흐름이 줄어든 보행공 간에서는 확산이 이루어지지 않아 발생하는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서와 같이 넓은 오픈스페이스를 확보하고 있는 도심 도로변 지역의 경우에는 가로녹지가 오히려 바람에 의한 확산을 억제하여 하여 차량이동에 따른 부유 미세먼 지를 녹지 내부에 가두어 보도를 포함한 오픈스페이스의 미세먼지 농도를 높이는 것으로 확인되었다. 도로에서 발생하는 미세먼지를 줄이기 위한 가로녹지의 조성에 있어 도로와 건물의 거리는 매우 중요하게 작용하는 것을 확인하였다.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to develop a pavement rehabilitation decision tree considering current pavement condition by evaluating severity and distress types such as roughness, cracking and rutting. METHODS: To improve the proposed overall rehabilitation decision tree, current decision tree from Korea and decision trees from other countries were summarized and investigated. The problem when applying the current rehabilitation method obtained from the decision tree applied in Seoul was further analyzed. It was found that the current decision trees do not consider different distress characteristics such as crack type, road types and functions. Because of this, different distress values for IRI, crack rate and plastic deformation was added to the proposed decision tree to properly recommend appropriate pavement rehabilitation. Utilizing the 2017 Seoul pavement management system data and considering all factors as discussed, the proposed overall decision tree was revised and improved. RESULTS: In this study, the type of crack was included to the decision tree. Meanwhile current design thickness and special asphalt mixture were studied and improved to be applied on different pavement condition. In addition, the improved decision tree was incorporated with the Seoul asphalt overlay design program. In the case of Seoul's rehabilitation budget, rehabilitation budget can be optimized if a 25mm milling and overlay thickness is used. CONCLUSIONS: A practical and theoretical evaluation tool in pavement rehabilitation design was presented and proposed for Seoul City.

Piezoelectric harvester for road power generation was installed on test roads owned by Korea Highway Corporation. 24 harvesters were installed on the concrete pavement and the remaining 12 harvesters were installed on the asphalt pavement. After installation, power generation performance and environmental tests were carried out with three types of vehicles: compact / passenger cars / trucks. The running speed of the vehicle was 30 km/h, 60km/h, 90 km/h. The test results show that the larger the weight of the vehicle, the higher the power generation, the concrete road than the asphalt road, and the exposed type rather than the buried type. The generation amount according to the depth of buried was at least 2.2 times at the depth of 1cm than 5cm depth. When the delegator lighting test was performed using 12 harvesters, it was possible to light up more than 20 seconds in one vehicle due to the improvement of the charging circuit. In addition, the wireless communication module driving test enabled temperature sensing and data transmission for 25 seconds. In addition, there was no breakage of the pavement when driving more than 180 times, and the generation amount was maintained more than 90%. However, Test for the durability of the pavement and the self-durability of the harvester is required more than 180 times of vehicle driving conditions and required more than minimum of 6-12 months of long-term monitoring.

Chloride-based deicing material is excellent to dissolve ice and snow in economical but they accelerate deterioration of concrete or corrosion steel reinforced concrete. Chlorine ions contained in the chloride-based deicing material currently used act as catalysts for accelerating corrosion when the air-void level is above a concentration level, even if the airvoid retain the proper alkali level. Environment-friendly CMA based deicing material has been difficult to use due to high unit prices in the past, but recently prices have stabilized. As an environment-friendly deicing material agent citric acid, which is a typical organic acid in citrus fruits, plays a role of controlling pH and preventing oxidation. This is effective against reducing steel corrosion and concrete deterioration. In the long term, environment-friendly deicing material is economical considering the damages of structures due to existing chloride-based deicing material. Although environmnet-friendly deicing material has these various advantages, they are inferior in performance to existing chloride-based deicing material. This study suggests proper utilization methods through analyzing the effects of existing chloride-based and environmentfriendly deicing material. Experimental results show that some environment-friendly products a similar level of ice-melting effects of existing chloride, but the effect of chloride-based deicing material is relatively good. This suggests that the performance of ice-melting is inferior only with the use of the environment-friendly deicing material. Therefore, it is necessary to improve deicing methods using with environment-friendly deicing material such as sand and other friction material. Further, it is considered that if the frozen area is predicted in advance and spraying is possible, the environment-friendly deicing material can be used more effectively.

In this study, we are developing next-generation traffic signal control system, SMART SIGNAL, which is operated using a traffic big-data. To improve urban’s chronic recurrent congestion, SMART SIGNAL conducts real-time traffic signal control based on travel time data of traffic information systems. This research project started in 2015 and is scheduled to end in 2019. This research project consists of three sub-tasks, which are traffic big-data bank system, signal operation algorithm, and field test for SMART SIGNAL. The traffic big-data bank system includes the travel time and traffic volume data from public and private sector’s traffic information systems. Additionally, this system contains taxi trajectory data, CCTV image and smartphone based traffic data. This big-data system predicts the travel time and traffic volume by intersection movement for real-time signal control. The smart signal operation algorithm of SMART SIGNAL consists three sub-algorithm of PRE-CON, CAERUS, and NIMOS. PRE-CON makes today’s signal timing plan using historical traffic data. CAERUS is traffic responsive signal control algorithm based on predicted travel time. NIMOS is spillback control algorithm for oversaturated condition. In this project, field experiment is planned in 2019 in Seoul.

Adverse weather is a big challenge not only for the safety of drivers but the safety of Autonomous Vehicles (AV). The gap between human-driving and AV-driving in terms of adverse-weather-perception can be a new challenge for highway engineers. Solutions minimizing the gap need to be defined. By this, the smart road technologies can be specified and developed. The way how to define and quantify the gap is introduced in this presentation.

The Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is a typical non-destructive test equipment which is widely used in seeking a cavity or underground facility. Test results are generally expressed 2D monochrome or color images, distribution of the parabolic waveforms are used to determine the existence of cavity and facility. (Fig. 1) But, an analysis method of image may cause errors depending on the knowledge and experience of analyst. In this study, we analyzed the coefficient of correlation between A-Scan data of GPR to judge the existence of cavity located under the pavement layer. The correlation analysis was performed based on the assumption that the relationship of correlation between a number of A-Scan data passing through a non-cavity section is larger than a small number of A-Scan data passing through a cavity section, and relationship of correlation was visualized using Surfer Program. (Fig. 2) In addition, apart from the correlation analysis, we compared the Power spectrum of the A-scan data for the cavity section and non-cavity section. In other words, assuming that the size of the energy changes depending on the existence of the cavity, PSD (Power Spectrum Density) is obtained for all the B-Scan data, and the tendency of the energy size is confirmed using the 3D wireframe map of the Surfer program. (Fig. 3) As a result, the correlation coefficient shows a small tendency in the cavity section and the PSD shows a large tendency, which is intuitively recognized that the energy attenuation in the cavity section is smaller than other material. But, there are some ambiguous sections to judge the tendency clearly, this is estimated to be noise on the underground facility and it is necessary to take measure of mitigating this.
