Assessment of noise exposed population is to check the environment noise level and social influence in order to reduce the risks such as annoyance and disturbance that are generated by environmental noise. Also, this method suggests the preferential noise abatement policy and action plan by accurately finding the area that the noise causes harmful effect to human health. Recently, a noise map, which can predict noise in comprehensive area, is used for the assessment of noise exposed population, breaking from the methods using existing measures. In particular, countermeasure for noise can be considered more effectively by using assessment methods of noise exposed population for specific noise level, area and building types which are the main input factors in noise maps. In this study, we propose noise prediction at traffic noise due to noise map.

PURPOSES: Most of the traffic surveys are carried out by an inspection method by the manpower. In some cases, the video equipment is used only in some regions when the traffic volume is surveyed. In this case, there is environmental restriction that the road equipment to fix the video equipment should exist. Also, in areas where information such as digital maps and satellite photographs is old or not provided, they are forced to rely on manpower research, but it is difficult to put huge amounts of time and money into the research in places where labor supply and demand is difficult. This difficulty is particularly pronounced in overseas business. METHODS : The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of business by using the drones in the traffic investigation through analysis of the cost reduction effect between the existing method and the proposed method in the overseas business traffic survey. The scope of the research is limited to the scope of research, and based on the case of overseas projects, the method of using drone for each research sector is suggested. RESULTS: In the traffic condition survey section, we propose the use of drone for traffic survey and queue length survey, and it is confirmed that there is a cost saving effect of 16% ~ 27% compared with the existing method. In the road condition survey, we propose the use of drones for road surface linear survey, geometry survey, and obstacle survey, and it was confirmed that the cost reduction effect is 39% ~ 93% compared to the existing method. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to overseas business, it is expected that it will have a positive effect on research time and cost reduction by using drone in traffic survey in domestic area where labor supply is not easy or basic data is insufficient.

Odor dispersion from road emissions were investigated using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The Shear Stress Transport k-ω model in FLUENT CFD code was used to simulate odor dispersion around the road. The two road configurations used in the study were at-grade and fill road. Experimental data from the wind tunnel obtained in a previous study was used to validate the numerical result of the road dispersion. Five validation metrics are used to obtain an overall and quantitative evaluation of the performance of Shear Stress Transport k-ω models: the fractional bias (FB), the geometric mean bias (MG), the normalized mean square error (NMSE), the geometric variance (VG), and the fraction of predictions within a factor of two of observations (FAC2). The results of the vertical concentration profile for neutral atmospheric show reasonable performance for all five metrics. Six atmospheric stability conditions were used to evaluate the stability effect of road emission dispersion. It was found that the stability category D case of at-grade decreased the non-dimensional surface odor concentration smaller 0.78~0.93 times than those of stability category A case, and that F case decreased 0.39~0.56 times smaller than those of stability category A case. It was also found that stability category D case of filled road decreased 0.84~0.92 times the non-dimensional surface odor concentration of category A case and stability category F case decreased 0.45~0.58 times compared with stability category A case.

PURPOSES: In this paper, the effectiveness of speed-maintained standardization in road geometry on environmental impact at a downward slope location, based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission indicators, was studied. Specifically, the aim of this study was to ascertain whether speed-maintained standardization resulted in decreased CO2 emissions as well as noise pollution, due to reduced vehicle speeds. METHODS : In this study, speed-maintained standardization in road geometry was proposed as a means to reduce vehicle speeds, with a view to reducing CO2 emissions and noise pollution. This technique was applied at a downward slope location. The vehicle speeds, CO2 emissions, and noise levels before and after application of speed-maintained standardization were compared. RESULTS: It was found that speed-maintained standardization was effective as a means to reduce speed, as well as CO2 emissions and noise pollution. By applying speed-maintained standardization, it was confirmed that vehicle speeds were reduced consistently. As a result, CO2 emissions and noise levels were decreased by 9% and 11%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : This study confirmed that speed-maintained standardization in road geometry is effective in reducing vehicle speeds, CO2 emissions, and noise levels. Moreover, there is further scope for the application of this method in the design of roads in urban and rural areas, as well as in the design of highways.

PURPOSES : This study estimated the load effect of a single heavy truck to develop a live load model for the design and assessment of bridges located on an expressway with a limited truck entry weight. METHODS: The statistical estimation methods for the live load effect acting on a bridge by a heavy vehicle are reviewed, and applications using the actual measurement data for trucks traveling on an expressway are presented. The weight estimation of a single vehicle and its effect on a bridge are fundamental elements in the construction of a live load model. Two statistical estimation methods for the application of extrapolation in a probabilistic study and an additional estimation method that adopts the extreme value theory are reviewed. RESULTS : The proposed methods are applied to the traffic data measured on an expressway. All of the estimation methods yield similar results using the data measured when the weight limit has been relatively well observed because of the rigid enforcement of the weight regulation. On the other hand, when the estimations are made using overweight traffic data, the resulting values differ with the estimation method. CONCLUSIONS: The estimation methods based on the extreme distribution theory and the modified procedure presented in this paper can yield reasonable values for the maximum weight of a single truck, which can be applied in both the design and evaluation of a bridge on an expressway.

PURPOSES : In Korea, over 70 percent of the land consists of mountainous and rolling area. Thus, tunnels continue its upward trend as road network are extended. In these circumstances, the importance of tunnel has been increased nowadays and then its safety investigation and research should be performed. This study is focus on confirming and improving the safety of tunnel. On tunnel hood, sunglare effect can irritate driver's behavior instantly and this can result in incident. METHODS : The study of this phenomenon is rarely conducted in domestic and foreign papers, so there is no proper measure for this. This study analyzes the driving environment of the effect of sunglare effect on tunnel hood. RESULTS : Traffic accidents stem from complex set of factors. This study build the Traffic Accident Prediction Models to find out the effect of sunglare effect on tunnel's hood. The independent variables are traffic volume, geometric design of road, length of tunnel and road side environment. Using these variables, this model estimates accident frequency on tunnel hood by Poisson regression model and Negative binomial regression model. Although Poisson regression model have more proper goodness of fit than Negative binomial regression model, Poisson regression model has overdipersion problem. So the Negative binomial regression model is used in this analysis. CONCLUSIONS : Consequently, the model shows that sunglare effect can play a role in driving safety on tunnel hood. As a result, the information of sunglare effect should be noticed ahead of tunnel hood so this can prevent drivers from being in hazard situation.

국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 해양사고의 방지와 해상교통의 원활한 흐름에 기여하기 위하여 전 세계의 주요 항로에 항로지정(Ship's Routeing) 방식을 채택하여 운영하고 있다. 이에 국내에서도 2003년에 해상교통안전법의 시행규칙으로 남해안의 홍도 및 보길도 항로에 대하여 통항분리방식이 적용되는 수역으로 지정한 바 있으며, 2005년에는 거문도 항로를 추가로 지정하였다. 그러나 이러한 국내의 통항분리수역 지정으로 인한 해양사고 방지 및 원활한 해상교통흐름에 대한 효과 분석은 미흡한 실정으로, 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 통항분리수역 지정 전 후의 해양사고 자료 및 해상교통흐름을 분석하여 실제 통항분리수역의 지정이 해양사고의 방지와 해상교통의 원활한 흐름에 어느 정도 영향을 미쳤는지를 평가하였고, 그 결과에 따라 항로별 통항분리수역의 위치를 조정하는 등의 개선안을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서의 평가 결과, 대부분의 통항분리수역에서 지정 전과 비교하여 지정 후 해양사고의 발생이 오히려 증가하였고, 일부 선박들이 지정된 통항방향을 따르지 않는 등 해양사고의 위험을 초래하고 있는 것으로 드러나, 이를 개선하기 위해 홍도 항로 및 보길도 항로에 대해서는 통항분리 수역의 위치를 조정하여 더 안전하고 효과적인 운용이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

두루미류의 취식무리 크기 및 구성과 도로 유형별, 취식무리 규모에 따른 분포거리 연구를 월동기인 2005년 12월에서 2006년 2월까지 총 8회 실시하였다. 두루미와 재두루미의 취식무리는 주로 2~4개체로 구성된 무리였다. 두루미와 재두루미 모두 혼종무리 보다는 단일종의 취식무리가 많았다. 두루미와 재두루미간 취식무리 크기별 비율은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 두루미의 포장도로(PR)와의 평균거 리는 비포장농로(UPR), 포장농로(PFR), 비포장농로(UPFR) 도로와의 거리에 비하여 멀었다. 재두루미의 경우 도로로부터의 이격거리는 농로로부터의 거리와 차이가 있었다. 두루미와 재두루미 종간 도로유형별 이격거리는 포장도로에서만 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 이 결과는, 두루미류가 차량 출입이 잦은 도로를 차량 출입이 낮은 농로에 비하여 선호하지 않는 것을 보여준다. 포장도로에서 5개체 이상의 두루미 취식무리는 전체 취식무리와 5개체 미만의 취식무리에 비하여 도로로부터 이격거리가 멀었다. 재두루미는 5개체 이상의 취식무리가 5개체 미만의 취식무리에 비하여 포장도로 및 포장농로와 비포장농로에서 이격거리가 멀었으며, 비포장도로에서는 무리크기에 따른 이격거리의 차이가 없었다. 결과적으로, 무리의 크기가 큰 경우 방해요인에 대한 영향이 일부 더 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 두루미류의 큰 취식무리가 주변을 감시하는 효율이 무리크기가 작은 경우보다 높은 것과 관련이 있을 것으로 보인다.

노면요철포장은 1950년대 처음 설치된 후 사고감소효과에 대하여 여러 가지 연구가 있어왔다. 대부분의 연구에서 주로 졸음과 부주의 사고를 예방하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속도로 377개소에서 4년 동안 수집한 교통사고를 바탕으로 노면요철포장 설치 전 후에 사고감소원인과 환경을 분석하였다. 분석결과 노면요철포장 설치 전 후 교통사고를 비교할 때 -200건/2년(-32.3%) 감소하여, 노면요철포장 설치시 사고감소 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 세부교통사고 원인분석결과 노면요철포장 설치효과가 유의하다고 할 수 있는 교통사고원인 항목을 제시할 수 있었다. 졸음, 과속, 주시태만, 부주의, 차량결함, 안전거리 미확보 교통사고감소가 유의하였다. A, B, C 등급 사고의 경우 교통사고감소가 유의하였다. 기상 상태 원인분석결과 맑음, 비, 흐림 기상상태에서 노면요철포장으로 인한 교통사고감소가 유의하였다. 본 논문 결과는 그동안 졸음 혹은 부주의 교통사고우려에 대응하도록 한 기존 노면요철포장 설치기준보다 원인인자를 명확히 하고 확장하여 고속도로 교통사고감소에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

This study sought to determine the changes in weather conditions in urban streets, along with conditions of traffic and roads in urban areas. The variations in weather conditions depending on traffic differed according to distance. First, the temperature difference measured by traffic results is as follows: T1 point 1.03℃ , T2 point 1.04℃ , T3 point 0.9℃ , T4 point 1.01℃ , and T5 point 0.31℃ . The average difference between the measured temperatures by the point of measurement was 0.86℃ . The changes in wind velocity according to traffic volume results of the measurements is T1 point 1.32 m/s, T2 point 0.80 m/s, T3 point 0.29 m/s, T4 point 0.04 m/s, and T5 point 0.09 m/s. The difference between the average wind speeds was 0.51 m/s and traffic jams caused substantial differences in distance. The relative humidity tended to be inversely proportional to temperature. The measurements results ares T1 point 2.29%, T2 point 2.67%, T3 point 2.47%, T4 point 2.16%, and T5 point 0.91% The difference between the average relative humidity was 7.3%. In case of independent sampling T test according to traffic volume, changes in wind velocity and temperature were directly proportional to the level of statistical significance(p<0.01). On the other hand, relative humidity tended to be inversely proportional; however, there was no statistical significance.

According to the analysis results on traffic characteristics through its simulation, extreme load effect tended to increase as the traffic volume and heavy vehicle proportion increase.

부산항 북항은 일제 강점기에 축조된 일반부두(1,2,중앙,3,4)에서 시작하여 자성대, 신선대, 감만 부두 등으로 확장되었다. 그러나 도심과 접한 항만의 입지적 특성으로 인하여 물류 활동 및 도시 활동 양 측면에서 문제가 대두되어 왔다. 장치장 부족으로 인한 부두밖 장치장(ODCY) 확대가 대표적이다. 이것은 물류비용 증가뿐만 아니라 우암로, 충장로 등 주요 간선도로상의 화물 차량 비중을 높이는 결과를 가져와서 심각한 사회 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 일반부두와 자성대부두 재개발로 인한 충장로, 우암로 등 인접 주요 간선도로의 통행량 감소 효과를 분석하고 그동안 차량 통행으로 발생된 교통혼잡으로 인한 사회적 비용의 절감효과를 분석하여 두 부두의 재개발로 인한 효과를 제시하는 데 목적이 있다.
