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

본 연구에서는 이용자 만족도를 고려하여 고속도로의 노면상태를 종합적으로 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 통계적 방법을 통해 정량적인 요인과 정성적인 요인들과의 상관분석 등이 주가 되었는데 반해, 본 연구에서는 기존의 정량적인 요소에 운전자의 만족도인 정성적인 data를 포함하여 종합적으로 노면상태 평가를 진행하였다. 이 때 평가 방법은 통합 평가가 가능한 Grey System Theory를 활용하여 종합적인 평가를 실시하였다. 분석된 결과는 대상도로의 각 구간에 대한 현재의 상태를 진단하고, 추후 변화될 상태에 대한 예측이 가능하다. 또한 분석된 결과를 다양한 방법을 통해 고속도로의 유지 관리에 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 다양한 요소들을 종합적으로 평가함으로써 관측된 data값들의 영향력을 분석할 수 있으며, 이를 활용하여 도로를 관리하고 유지하는 판단에 대한 결정지원에 보조적인 수단으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 아울러 사전 사후 모니터링 수단 활용으로 유지관리 체계 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
