PURPOSES : This study aims to calculate the estimation of travel time saving benefits from smart expressway construction by considering the willingness to pay for automated vehicles. METHODS : In this study, data were collected from 809 individual drivers through a stated preference survey. A multinomial logit model was constructed to analyze the choice behavior between arterial roads, expressways, and smart expressways. Through this, the values of time and benefits were estimated. RESULTS : The value of time was calculated at 19,379 won per vehicle per hour for arterial roads and expressways and 23,061 won per vehicle per hour for smart expressways. Applying these values to the Jungbu Naeryuk expressway, we evaluated the demand change and benefits resulting from the improvement to the smart expressways. The results show that the traffic volume on the Jungbu Naeryuk expressway is expected to increase by 4.7% to 20.7% depending on the changes in capacity. CONCLUSIONS : The travel time saving benefits are estimated as positive, resulting from the construction of smart expressways. The benefits resulting from the construction of new smart expressways are expected to be enhanced due to the anticipation of more significant time-saving effects.

Evaluation of low temperature performance of asphalt mixture is significant not only for mitigating transverse thermal cracking but also for preventing potential traffic accidents. In addition, the engineers in pavement agency need to inform the proper pavement section where urgent management is needed. Since early 2000, Korea Expressway Corporation Research Division (KECRD) developed an 3D Pavement condition Monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM) to survey expressway pavement surface condition precisely. The management of whole expressway network became more precise, effective and efficient than before due to application of 3DPM and HPMS. One thing recommended is: performing extensive mechanical test and corresponding data analysis work procedure to further strengthen the feasibility of current 3DPM approach and HPMS. In this paper two activities were considered: first, the pavement section where the urgent care is recommended is selected by means of 3DPM approach. Then asphalt mixture cores were acquired on that specified section then low temperature fracture test: Semi Circular Bending (SCB) test, was performed. The mechanical parameters, energy release rate and fracture toughness were computed then compared. It is concluded that the current 3DPM approach in KEC can successfully evaluate and analyze selected pavement condition. However, more extensive experimental works are needed to further strengthen the current pavement analyzing approaches.

교통사고는 인적요인, 도로 기하구조, 교통류, 환경적 요인 등 복합적인 요인에 의해 발생하고 속도는 교통사고와 밀접한 연관성이 있다. 또한, 교통사고는 교통 혼잡도와 관련이 있으며 사고와 실시간 교통상황 간의 상관관계를 통해 사고 발생 개연성을 추정하고 도 로 안전성 분석이 필요하다. 모바일 센서와 통신 기술의 급속한 발전으로 스마트폰 보급률이 증가하였으며 내장된 센서를 기반으로 생성된 차량 주행 데이터 수집이 가능하다. 기술의 발달로 데이터 수집이 쉬워졌음에도 불구하고, 스마트폰을 기반으로 수집된 위험 운전 이벤트를 활용한 도로 위험도 평가에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 스마트폰 센서 기반의 위험 운전 이벤트 데이터 중 하나인 급감속 위험 운전 이벤트 데이터를 도로 위험도 평가 기법에 활용하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 급감속 위험 운전 이벤트 데이 터는 주행 차량이 3초간 속도를 40km/h 이상 감소하는 위험 이벤트가 발생할 때 시간과 위치를 기록한 자료를 의미한다. 본 연구의 범위는 대한민국 내 인구와 교통량이 많은 지역인 수도권을 대상으로 서울, 경기, 인천을 연결하는 고리 형태의 도로인 수도권제1순환 선을 대상으로 하였다. 먼저, 개별 차량 데이터는 좌표 기반의 내비게이션 데이터로 집계하여 VDS 링크 데이터와 매칭하였다. 다음으 로는 개별 차량의 위험 운전 이벤트 데이터와 차량 검지기의 교통 매개변수를 결합한 새로운 지표를 개발하였다. 또한, 시·공간적 교 통류의 특성을 반영하여 다양한 도로 위험도 평가 방법에 활용하고자 하였다. 마지막으로 위험 운전 지표와 이력 자료를 기반으로 통 계적으로 유의한 안전성능함수를 개발하였으며, 다양한 시간 단위의 집계 수준을 활용하여 도로 구간별 최적의 모형을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 스마트폰 센서를 기반으로 식별한 개별 차량의 위험과 교통류 차원의 위험을 결합하여 새로운 위험 지표를 개발하고 도로 위 험도 평가에 활용한다는 것에 의의가 있다. 결과물은 향후 스마트폰 센서 기반 개별 차량 위험 운전 이벤트 데이터와 교통 조건을 통 합하는 도로 위험도 평가의 기초자료로써 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : The evaluation of the low-temperature performance of an asphalt mixture is crucial for mitigating transverse thermal cracking and preventing traffic accidents on expressways. Engineers in pavement agencies must identify and verify the pavement sections that require urgent management. In early 2000, the research division of the Korea Expressway Corporation developed a three-dimensional (3D) pavement condition monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM) and an advanced infographic (AIG) highway pavement management system computer program. Owing to these efforts, the management of the entire expressway network has become more precise, effective, and efficient. However, current 3DPM and AIG technologies focus only on the pavement surface and not on the entire pavement layer. Over the years, along with monitoring, further strengthening and verification of the feasibility of current 3DPM and AIG technologies by performing extensive mechanical tests and data analyses have been recommended. METHODS : First, the pavement section that required urgent care was selected using the 3DPM and AIG approaches. Second, asphalt mixture cores were acquired from the specified section, and a low-temperature fracture test, semi- circular bending (SCB) test, was performed. The mechanical parameters, energy-release rate, and fracture toughness were computed and compared. RESULTS : As expected, the asphalt mixture cores acquired from the specified pavement section ( poor condition – bad section) exhibited negative fracture performances compared to the control section (good section). CONCLUSIONS : The current 3DPM and AIG approaches in KEC can successfully evaluate and analyze selected pavement conditions. However, more extensive experimental studies and mathematical analyses are required to further strengthen and upgrade current pavement analysis approaches.
