Recently, many researches for autonomous mobile system have been proposed, which can recognize surrounded environment and navigate to destination without outside intervention. The basic sufficient condition for the autonomous mobile system is to navigate to destination safely without accident. In this paper, we propose a path planning method in local region for safe navigation of autonomous system through evaluation of the road surface distortion(damaged/deformed road, unpaved road, obstacle and etc.). We use laser distance sensor to get the information on the road surface distortion and apply image binalization method to evaluate safe region in the detected local region. We show the validity of the proposed method through the computer simulation based on the artificial local road map.

Porous pavements can provide road users with beneficial characteristics such as skid resistance and surface water drainage under rainy condition, and they cause less tire-road noise than conventional hot mix asphalt(HMA) pavements. However, voids of porous pavements are easily clogged by road debris at early stages, which leads to frequent maintenance works. Therefore, this study focused on the way of minimizing void clogging in porous pavements. During mixture design, the quantity of coarse aggregate has been increased to form many straight void conduits (SVCs) in porous HMAs. These SVCs were found to be effective resisting the void clogging problems. Four different porous HMAs(19mm, 13mm, 10mm, and 8mm) were developed and placed on highway roads. Their performances were validated with field tests during the past four years.

도시지역에서 빗물은 대부분 도로를 통해 이동하고 배수된다. 도로의 배수시설은 도로면의 안전을 확보하기 위한 목적뿐만 아니라 도로 이외의 지역에 흐르는 유출수의 배수를 위한 기능도 포함하고 있다. 그러나 도로변에 설치되어 있는 빗물받이 등과 같은 하수도 시설을 통해 빗물이 원활하게 배수되지 않으면 노면수가 정체되고, 이 노면수가 인근 주택가로 유입되어 침수를 피해를 가중시키는 경우도 있다. 빗물받이 설계 시 설계빈도를 차집능력에 상위하는 충분한 여유를 두고 설치하더라도 빗물받이가 도시지역에서 발생하는 유송토사, 쓰레기, 낙엽 및 담배꽁초 등에 의하여 막히게 되면 유입구의 순 면적이 감소하게 되어 빗물받이가 제 기능을 다하지 못하는 경우 또한 발생하고 있다. 이렇게 빗물받이로 유입되는 부유잡물들은 퇴적되어, 우수관로 내에서 썩어 수질을 악화시키거나 악취의 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 빗물받이의 이 같은 문제점을 개선할 수 있는 비노출 배수로의 배수효율을 수리실험을 통해 검토하였다. 도로의 측면에 비노출 배수로를 설치하였을 경우 도로위에 수심이 거의 발생하지 않으면서 배출할 수 있는 최대 유량은 1.67 l/s였고, 서울시를 기준으로 설계빈도 10년에 대하여 본 연구의 실험도로 규격에서의 유출량이 1.09 l/s임을 고려할 때 10년 빈도 강우강도 발생 시 비노출 배수로가 충분한 여유를 가지고 배수 시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 실험도로의 규격에서 1.67 l/s의 유출량이 발생하기 위한 강우강도는 서울시를 기준으로 100년 빈도에 상응하는 강우강도로 비노출 배수로에 막힘이 없는 경우 100년 빈도의 강우시에도 노면수 배출이 가능하였다. 쓰레기와 모래와 같은 부유잡물이 배수로를 막고 있다 하더라고 배수효율 저하는 크게 발생하지 않았다. 그러나 흙탕물이 유입되는 경우 흙탕물이 배수로의 공극을 차단하는 현상이 나타났고 이는 도로위의 수심은 증가시켰다. 흙탕물이 유입된 후 배출가능 유량을 강우강도와 빈도를 환산한 결과 서울시를 기준으로 6.8년에 상응하였다. 따라서 흙탕물 유입가능성이 높은 도로에 비노출 배수로를 설치하게 되는 경우 배수로의 효율이 낮아지는 것에 대한 대책이 필요하고, 철저한 관리가 요구된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 비노출 배수로의 채움재를 개선하고 동일실험 수행을 계획 중이며, 비점오염물의 제거효율 또한 검토할 예정이다.

The scientific analysis of car-pedestrian accidents is not an easy task because of the characteristic of the accidents itself. Since the analysis involved human being, there were few experimental data that could be used for the analysis. The coefficient of friction of human body was the one of crucial data for accident analysis, but no field experiment report was available for various roadway conditions. This study intends to measure the coefficient of friction of human body through field studies. Results showed that the coefficient of friction of human body for dry asphalt pavement conditions was 0.59~0.62, and for dry concrete pavement conditions was 0.59~0.61. In addition, the coefficients for wet asphalt pavement and for wet concrete pavement conditions were 0.56~0.59 and 0.51~0.54 respectively, indicating 5.0% and 8.3% reduction compared to the dry conditions. The deduced coefficients were validated using the simulation program. It has been confirmed that the experiment values were close to the simulation results.

Ridge traversing trail in Mount Jiri National Park is classified as flat, gully-like, unilateral, and asymmetric bilateral, paths based on a location and gradient of paths. These types are interchangeable due to a drainage condition of trail surfaces. Using a rapid survey, the trail is 135.9 cm wide, 23.6 cm deep and $5.1^{\circ}$ in a gradient, respectively. All treads have been compacted due to human trampling. The path width is affected by a slope aspect and a distribution of Sasa borealis. An asymmetric path is wider than a symmetric path. A soil erosion rate is equivalent to $68.9cm^2/year$ for the period from 1960 to 2009, suggesting that the trail has been widened 2.7 cm/year and the tread lowered 0.4 cm/year. Trampling and needle ice action combined with rainwash induced by a pipeflow are dominant erosion processes contributing to the trail expansion.

This paper attempts to evaluate driving stability by the vibration of human body. The purpose of this research is to establish an evaluation methodology for controling the quality of road surface. The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between road surface profiles (IRI, International Roughness Index) and the fatigue caused by the vibration of human body. Furthermore, 3-axis acceleration in driving vehicles was examined based on sampling sections under various road conditions. The acceleration value of frequency bands were analyzed by the characteristics of road surface, and realized the range of human influence by conditions and type of road surface with ISO-2631 standards. In general, more human fatigue by vehicle vibration was appeared in concrete pavements with high IRIs based on the analysis from given test data. Whereas, The SMA asphalt pavement and the diamond grinded concrete pavement reduce the human fatigue.
