PURPOSES : The primary objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the factors that affect traffic incident duration in the mainline, tunnel, and ramp segments of an expressway. In addition, this study derived the most suitable statistical prediction model based on various incident duration distributions. METHODS : South Korean expressway crash data for 11 years, from 2011 to 2021, were analyzed. The incident durations on the mainline, tunnel, and ramp segments were selected using the accelerated failure time model, which is a parametric survival analysis approach. RESULTS : The mainline segment showed that the incident duration increased during accidents, including guard pipe collisions, multivehicle collisions, and snowfall. In particular, collisions in a tunnel with shoulder facilities increase the incident duration, while decreasing the time in the ramp segment. CONCLUSIONS : The incident duration model for each segment type yielded the most accurate results when applying a log-logistic distribution.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to develop the data driven pavement condition index by considering the traffic and climatic characteristics in Incheon city. METHODS : The Incheon pavement condition index (IPCI) was proposed using the weighted sum concept with standardization and coefficient of variation for measured pavement performance data, such as crack rate, rut depth, and International Roughness Index (IRI). A correlation study between the National Highway Pavement Condition Index (NHPCI) and Seoul Pavement Condition Index (SPI) was conducted to validate the accuracy of the IPCI. RESULTS : The equation for determining the IPCI was developed using standardization and the coefficient of variation for the crack rate, rut depth, and IRI collected in the field. It was found from the statistical analysis that the weight factors of the IPCI for the crack rate were twice as high as those for the rut depth and IRI. It was also observed that IPCI had a close correlation with the NHPCI and SPI, albeit with some degree of scattering. This correlation study between the NHPCI and SPI indicates that the existing pavement condition index does not consider the asymmetry of the original measured data. CONCLUSIONS : The proposed pavement condition provides an index value that considers the characteristics of the original raw data measured in the field. The developed pavement condition index is extensively used to determine the timing and method of pavement repair, and to establish pavement maintenance and rehabilitation strategies in Incheon.

PURPOSES : The numeric-based Highway Pavement Management System (HPMS), along with an advanced three-dimensional pavement condition monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM), in South Korea has presented remarkable advancements in pavement management since the early 2000. Based on these results, visual distress on pavement surfaces can be easily detected and analyzed. Additionally, the entire expressway pavement surface conditions in South Korea can be easily monitored using the current graphical user interface-based advanced information graphic (AIG) approach. Therefore, a critically negative pavement section can be detected and managed more easily and efficiently. However, the actual mechanical performance of the selected pavement layer still needs to be investigated in a more thorough manner not only to provide more accurate pavement performance results but also to verify the feasibility of the current 3DPM and AIG approaches. In this study, the low-temperature performance of the selected asphalt pavement layer section was evaluated to further verify and strengthen the feasibility of the current 3DPM and AIG approaches developed by the Korea Expressway Corporation. METHODS : Based on 3DPM and AIG approach, the positive and negative-riding-quality road sections were selected, respectively. The asphalt material cores were extracted from each section then bending beam rheometer mixture creep test was performed to measure their low-temperature properties. Based on the experimental results, thermal stress results were computed and visually compared. RESULTS : As expected, the asphalt material from the negative driving performance section presented a poorer low-temperature cracking resistance than that from the positive driving performance section. CONCLUSIONS : Current 3DPM equipment can successfully evaluate expressway surface conditions and the corresponding material performance quality. However, more extensive experimental studies are recommended to verify and strengthen the findings of this study

국내의 공공공사는 국가･지방자치단체･정부 기관이 건축주가 되어 시행하거 나 지방자치단체의 보조로 시행하는 공공 토목건축 공사를 말한다. 이러한 공 공공사는 ｢국가를 당사자로 하는 계약에 관한 법률｣로써 계약에 관한 기본적 인 사항을 정하여 원활한 계약업무를 수행할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 한편 공공 공사 수행을 위해서는 용지가 필요한 바 ｢공익사업을 위한 토지 등의 취득 및 보상에 관한 법률｣에 공사용지 확보는 사업시행자가 하도록 명시하고 있고, 공 사계약일반조건에서도 공사용지 확보와 관련하여 발주기관은 계약상대자가 공사의 수행에 필요로 하는 날까지 공사용지를 확보하여 계약상대자에게 인도 하도록 규정하고 있다 그러나 실제 고속도로 공사현장에서는 공사용지 확보가 공사수행을 위해 필요 한 날까지 제대로 이루어지지 않는 경우가 많아 준공기한 준수를 위해 돌관공 사가 빈번하게 이루어지는 등 현실적인 어려움이 자주 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 본고에서는 관계법령 및 공사계약일반조건에서 규정한 공사용지 확보 관련규정에 대한 문제점을 제시하고 이에 대한 개선안을 제시함으로써 향후 공공공사를 시행함에 있어 공사용지 확보와 관련하여 발주기관 및 계약상대자 가 겪는 어려움을 해소하는데 일조하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 다기준 의사결정분석모델을 사용하여 우리나라 전체 풍력에너지의 잠재량을 연산하였다. 이 모델은 육상과 해상의 풍력터빈 2 MW과 3 MW를 기준설비에 대해 용량밀도 및 이용률을 연산하여 이론적, 기술적 잠재량을 산정한 후 환경규제 및 시장지원정책에 따른 환경성과 경제성과 고려하여 시장잠재량을 산정되는데 풍력 자원, 기술, 그리고 입지환경의 영향단계별 설 비용량 및 발전량을 산정하도록 구성된 잠재량은 최종 의사결정 시나리오를 분석하여 정책적 현안을 고려할 수 있도록 확대 구축하 였다. 의사결정 시나리오의 정책적 현안은 도로 및 주거밀집지역으로 부터의 이격거리를 시나리오로 포함하였다. 전문가 협의에 의 해 도출된 2016년 신재생에너지백서 기준의 풍력잠재량의 발전량 110 TWh/년과 설비용량 39 GW는 도로나 주거건물로부터의 이격 거리에 따라 –33% ~ 8%까지 변화가 있었다. 풍력에너지 보급은 도로와 이격거리 강도에 크게 달라질 수 있으며, 잠재량 변화에 대 한 본 연구 결과는 정부의 보급목표 수립과 적정성을 검토하는데 중요하게 활용될 것이다.
