The public safety management guidelines were introduced in 2019 and continue to be dedicated to advancing comprehensive measures for public safety management, with a primary focus on prioritizing the safety and well-being of the public within governmental institutions. To achieve this goal, our previous study developed a establishment procedure of risk assessment-based safety inspection system for public institutions that order construction projects and applied it to highway construction projects to evaluate its effectiveness. To enhance the practicality of the establishment procedure, it is essential to collect and analyze feedback from stakeholders regarding its performance and suitability. This study conducted a survey involving 200 participants who had experience with the establishment procedure, and performed statistical analyses to evaluate its performance and applicability. The survey results indicated that the participants reported a high level of satisfaction (scoring 4 and above on a 5-point Likert scale) in several areas: specialization of safety inspection items for different types of work (with a satisfaction rate of 65%), the evaluation process for safety ratings (64.5%), and their willingness to recommend the procedure to other institutions (75.5%). In the factor analysis with Varimax rotation, two factors emerged: (1) a specialization factor related to safety inspection items, and (2) a grading factor associated with safety evaluation results. Regression analyses of these factors unveiled significant positive relationships with improvements in safety and health performance, including the prevention of fatal accidents, heightened safety responsibility, and raised safety inspection standards. The establishment procedure of safety inspection system developed in our previous study can play a crucial role in reducing accidents resulting in fatalities and injuries at construction sites, ultimately contributing to a safer working environment for all involved parties.

PURPOSES : This study proposes a framework for promoting future expressway remodeling projects by reviewing similar overseas cases and comparing them with current Korean expressway remodeling projects. METHODS : Based on a literature review, this study examines the major issues in expressway remodeling projects and proposes the development of a framework for establishing and promoting such projects. This framework provides detailed guidance by categorizing the project into legal system adjustments, traffic management plans, and social consensus. RESULTS : The diagnosis of issues in domestic expressway remodeling projects revealed significant problems in conceptual aspects, criteria for project evaluation, formulation of traffic diversion strategies, and deficiencies in related legal frameworks. To address these issues, a framework for advancing future remodeling projects was established based on the results of overseas case studies. CONCLUSIONS : As roads deteriorate, the demand for remodeling projects to restore them increases. However, the current implementation of remodeling projects lacks systematic procedures. This study serves as foundational research for establishing an environment conducive to the smooth progress of such projects. By initiating subsequent research, conditions for the smooth progress of remodeling projects are expected to be established.

해를 거듭할수록 증가하는 고속도로 연장과 함께 전체 고속도로 유지보수 비용은 급증하는 추세에 있다. 제한된 유지보수 예산으로 전체 고속도로망을 효율적으로 유지관리하기 저해 포장관리시스템 (PMS, Pavement Management System)의 운영은 필수적이라 할 수 있다.본 연구는 PMS의 핵심기능인 보수 우선순위 및 공법결정 논리를 개발하여 실무자들의 PMS 활용도를 높이기 위한 연구로서, 실무자들이 친숙하게 사용할 수 있도록 PMS의 기본기능에 충실하여 쉽게 운영 기능한 시스템을 구성 하는데 역점을 두었다. PMS의 주 논리인 보수우선순위 및 보수공법결정에 관련된 각 항목들의 criteria는 기술자의 판단에 의해서 쉽게 수정할 수 있도록 하여 좀더 유연한 운영을 할 수 있도록 하였고, 보수공법 결정에 있어서도 기계적인 알고리즘께 의한 보수공법결정체계의 경직성을 보완하기 위해, 제시된 보수공법의 적절성을 PMS운영자가 직접 확인하고 필요시 현장실사 또는 정밀조사를 통해 보수공법을 조정할 수 있도록 하였다. 도로 일반현황조회에 있어서는 운영자가 쉽게 포장의 상태를 파악할 수 있도록 HGIS와의 연계를 통해 현황조회 기능을 강화하였다. 고속도로 PMS의 전산화는 각 고속도로 포장과 관련된 모든 정보에 대한 데이터베이스를 기반으로 하여 실무자들이 쉽게 이해하고 편리하게 사용하는데 중점을 두어 개발하였으며 정량화된 객관적인 정보를 실무자에게 제공하여 포장을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있도록 하였다.

Due to limited human resources, budget and difficulties in accessibility, inspections are not available at proper time. Advanced Technology such as ICT, Sensing, and AI can innovate the management of structure. So, we introduce our developed equipment and future management plan.

Today freeway is thought to be a very important transportation facility carrying tremendous traffic flow as the main corridor within the area of between the areas. However freeway is experiencing severe congestion and accidents by increased entrance ramp flow especially at peak time period. Ramp meters on the freeway entrance ramps that supply traffic to the freeway in a measured or appropriately regulated amount are needed for alleviating freeway congestion. Because ramp meters can be operated to discharge traffic at a measured or regulated rate thus maintaining more uniform speed on the mainline section maximizing the throughput to the freeway within the capacity of a downstream bottleneck and reducing the congestion related accidents. Thus the objectives in this study were to analyze the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 with ramp metering system before/after ITS technology in Detroit (Michigan) area compare shifts of the traffic characteristics on the freeway I-94 before/after ITS technology and finally suggest a better ramp metering strategy for the freeway system The following results were obtained: i)Flow occupancies and speeds on the mainline merge section of freeway were shown to be a big difference depending on the peak periods areas and directions based on the distribution of traffic flow characteristics on the freeway. ii)Reduced speed was shown to be more than 5 mph and ramp flow was also shown to be more than 240 vph at peak periods if there was the ramp metering system constructed on the freeway. iii)Ramp metering system was shown to be optimally operated on the freeway if ramp flow could be maximized within the range of over 900 vph and reduced occupancy could be also maximized by no more than 2 percent at peak periods. iv)The average flows on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be a decrease of over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those flow on the freeway before the ITS technology. over 20% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those speeds on the freeway before the ITS technology. vi)The average metering rates on the freeway after the ITS technology were shown to be an increase of over 10% depending on the peak periods areas and directions when compared with those metering rates on the freeway before the ITS technology.
