Treemaps, a space filling visualization technique, displays a massive data set of hierarchical data interactively on a single computer screen by mapping it to a matrix of rectangles. It allows users to visually inspect and manipulate data to find new relationships or discrepancies that are to difficult to find using traditional techniques. This paper applies treemaps to the evaluation of highway project bids, which contain hundreds or thousands of elements arranged in a hierarchical structure. Through a case study, treemaps are shown to be a potentially effective tool for bid evaluation by both contractors and State or Federal highway officials.

State highway agencies (SHAs) typically apply a competitive procurement procedure to select contractors for their design-bid-build projects. Since the level of competition affects construction bid prices and project outcomes, the Federal Highway Agency (FHWA) suggests SHAs seek ways to improve competition among contractors continuously. However, they rarely conduct an empirical assessment of the current competition level necessary to identify room for improvement. Besides the number of bidders on a project, other factors such as winning or losing rates among the contractors in previous projects can also indicate the degree of competition; only a few contractors may have won the majority of the projects in a specific region. However, few studies have investigated such factors. This paper proposes a network analysis-based approach to evaluating contractor competition levels of highway projects using historical bid tabulation data. The proposed method provides insights into overall competition levels, the determination of competitive contractors, and winning rate distribution among contractors.

This study was promoted to prepare an ESG-oriented work system for Korea Expressway Corporation through sustainable highway construction, IOT-based smart highway preparation, and establishment of a broad convergence business governance system between multiple ministries and implementing entities. Based on the 2nd Basic Plan for Landscape Policy (2020~2024) and the Public Design Promotion Act (2018~2022), the study was conducted through the improvement of the highway design method to be applied for four years from 2021 to 2024, the changes in construction and social conditions related to expressways, the analysis of policies and plans to secure consistency with the 'Korean New Deal', and the analysis of the project performance and work promotion system that the Korea Expressway Corporation's business execution organization has promoted together with each government department. The results of this research are expected to help the Korea Expressway Corporation establish the 21st Innovation Plan for the phased construction of a "100-years landscape with people" and the preparation of a sustainable future highway environment creation project for the lives and safety of the people.

Improving long-term performance in highway projects is an imperative goal for public administrations. Project delivery and procurement methods might provide an opportunity to align design and construction processes with this goal. Previous studies have explored whether project delivery methods impact the long-term performance of highway projects. However, these studies did not focus specifically on how core elements within the procurement might relate to long-term performance. Thus, this research aims to fill this gap by exploring to what extent and how long-term evaluation criteria are considered in design-build best-value procurement of highway projects. To this end, content analysis was conducted on 100 projects procured between 2009 and 2019 by 19 DOTs across the U.S. The analysis of 365 evaluation criteria found that (1) roughly 11% of them related to long-term performance. (2) The weight given to these criteria in the overall technical proposal was lower than 30%. (3) Sixty-five percent (65%) of long-term evaluation criteria focused on design while 15% related to materials and technology, respectively. The results of this study are a first steppingstone to initiate a deep exploration of the relationship between procurement practices and actual project performance. Currently, with sustainability and life cycle assessments being top concerns in infrastructure projects, this line of research might be of particular interest to DOTs and highway agencies across the U.S. and worldwide.

This paper presents incentive application strategies and delay prevention strategies as schematic approaches to improve time performance of highway construction contracts. This research recognizes the importance of improving time performance during highway construction. Strategic solutions of the most core issues on time performance incentive contracting are identified. The suggested incentive application strategies develop criteria for applying time classification to projects, for assigning project time classifications to contractors and designers, and for determining appropriate incentive values in A (cost) + B (time cost) and other performance incentive contracts. The suggested delay prevention strategies develop criteria for determining the appropriate subsurface utility engineering (SUE) level and to develop best practices for avoiding utility relocation delays. A schematic approach for each strategy is developed. This paper also introduces current incentive contracting practices in Florida. The researchers obtained the information from experienced persons in the highway construction industry, including key highway contractors, designers, and Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) personnel. The major focus of this research is to develop strategies and suggest approaches to improve time performance of highway construction contracts. For future study, practical tools to facilitate implementation of the suggested strategies should be developed, so that the criteria, implementation processes, and best practices developed may contribute to the current industry-wide effort to improve time performance.

Many highway projects are under way in Korea. However, owners frequently find that the project cost exceeds the budget and they are unable to identify the underlining reasons. The main purpose of this research is to develop cost models for transportation projects in Korea using the multiple linear regression (MLR). The data consist of 27 completed transportation projects, built from 1991 to 2001, The technique of multiple regression analysis is used to develop the parametric cost estimating model for total budget cost per highway square meter (TBC/$m^2$). Findings of the study indicated that MLR car be applied to highway projects in Korea. There are twf) major contributions of this research. (1) the identification of transportation parameters as a significant cost driver for transportation costs and (2) the successful development of the parametric cost estimating models for transportation projects in Korea.

The unanimous of adoption of the intergovernmental agreement on the Asian Highway network by 32 member countries was a significant event and the Asian Highway project has entered into a new phase with a giant momentum. In an era of globalization, the availability of transport linkages and services is a prerequistite for countries to fully participate in the globalizing economy. The Asian Highway is one of initiatives of ESCAP to promote international transport in the region. With a total coverage of over 140,000kilometers, the asian highway network will be playing a vital role in bringing peoples together through both trade and travel.

도로설계속도는 해당도로 규격을 결정하는 매우 중요한 설계요소이다. 설계속도 결정시 개통후 차량 주행속도를 예측하여 상관성이 높도록 계획해야 하는데, 기존 일반국도 주행속도 예측 모형은 설계속도에 따른 기하구조 요인만을 고려하여 도로의 주변환경을 고려하지 못하는 한계가 있다. 주변환경을 충분히 고려하지 않을 경우 과도한 공사비 지출과 지나친 환경 파괴우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도로 주변환경요소를 고려하는 주행속도 예측모형식의 정립을 시도했고, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리나라 일반국도의 지형 및 지역 요소를 운전자의 시각 특성과 GIS 프로그램을 활용하여 정의하였다. 둘째, 이렇게 구축한 지형 및 지역 특성이 차량의 주행속도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 지형 및 지역 별로 95% 신뢰도에서 속도차이가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 섯째, 일반선형 모형(GLM)을 통하여 기하구조 요인과 지형 및 지역 요인을 모두 고려한 예측 모형식을 수립해 보았는데, R-Square가 양방향 2차로는 0.67, 양방향 4차로가 0.85로 나타났다. 끝으로 본 연구에서 개발한 모형을 바탕으로 지형 및 지역요소를 감안한 적정 도로 설계속도 범위를 제시했다. 이 방법론에 따라 산출된 관련 설계속도 범위는 일반국도에 대해 적용할 수 있지만, 지방도등 타 도로에 대해서는 직접 적용하기 곤란하다.
