Construction of highway would influence wildlife habitat being fragmented and deteriorated. It is inevitable to observe the death of animals that are killed by vehicles. Nonetheless the cause and status of animal roadkill have not been studied, and this study first attempted to analyze the roadkill in major highway in Korea. We collected 860 individuals of dead animals in Joongang Highway during 1996-2003. Among them Korean hare(Lepus sinensis) was totaled in 165 individuals(19.2%) with the highest figure; Korean racoon dog(Nyctereutes procyonoides) was 146(17.0%); Korean squirrel(Sciurus vulgaris) 56(6.5%); Korean roe deer(Capreolus capreolus) 26(3.0%). Domestic animals was totaled in 232 individuals(27.0%); domestic dog(Canis familiairis) 25, and domestic cat(Catus felis) 207. This study also categorized habitat as mountain-mountain, mountain-plain, mountain-river, plain-plain, plain-river, river-river in each side of the road. Habitat of mountain-plain was the heightest with 296(38.9%) individuals followed by mountain-mountain with 263(34.6%). This indicates that wild animals associated with mountain habitat was most influenced by the construction of roads. This study implied that we should mitigate the roadkill by designing artificial construction such as eco-bridge, fences along the sideway, and boxes under the highway, underdrain structure, etc. The monitoring and cause of habitat fragmentation with GIS approach should be followed to reduce the roadkill.

The negative impacts of roads on wildlife mortality have been well documented, and one of the most significant impact is wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) in most countries throughout the world. While road impacts on wildlife are a truly global concern with a large socio-economic cost, few researches in Korea have been quantified road-kill occurrence on highways or identified extensively seasonal and geographic patterns of this phenomenon. Therefore, we analyzed highway mortality of wild mammals in Korea using database from five years of nation-wide data on WVCs, and estimated road-kill density by standardizing on per km and per $10^3$ vehicle basis. During 2008 through 2012, a total of 10,940 wildlifes were reported killed on highways, with an average of 2,188 cases per year. There were 2,376 road-kills in 2012, and this equates to 0.01 road-kills per km per week or one road-kill every 88.5 km per week. For time of day, road-kills occurred more frequently in the early morning (05:00-08:00, 38.3%), and day of week did not have a significant influence in any individual year. The road-kill was highest in the spring (March- May, 33.0%) and least in the winter (December-February, 16.1%), and the most frequently killed native species were of Korean water deer (79.7%), raccoon dog (12.7%), Korean hare (3.1%), and leopard cat (1.2%). The overall standardized kill-rate (number/10 km/1,000 vehicles/month) in 2012 was 0.057 with highest on Dangjinyeongdeok highway (0.476), followed by Yeongdong (0.274), Sooncheonwanju (0.233), Iksanpohang (0.187), and Joongang (0.150). This study highlights that the frequency of WVCs are prevalent throughout the highways in Korea. Further work is needed to determine whether such a level of mortality is sustainable from an ecological point of view.

정보통신의 발달로 정보화시대가 도래하면서 속도에 대한 인간의 욕구가 증가하고 있는 가운데, 교통분야에서도 이동성을 증대시키기 위한 초고속도로 건설에 대한 설계가 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 설계속도가 120km/h를 초과하는 초고속도로 건설시 운전자가 설계속도의 수준으로 주행할 수 있는가를 분석하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위해서 설계속도가 상이하여 도로의 선형과 규격이 향상되면 운전자가 불안을 느끼는 주행속도도 증가하는지를 알아보았다. 실험은 피실험자 30명을 모집하여 뇌파분석기를 장착시킨 후 설계속도가 상이한 도로를 실제로 주행하고, simulator를 통해 가상으로 주행하면서 불안감을 느낄 때 발생하는 ${\beta}$파의 파워를 비교하였다. 이를 위한 실험구간은 강변북로(90km/h), 자유로(100km/h), 중앙고속도로(110km/h), 서해안고속도로(120km/h)로 선정하였다. 강변북로와 자유로는 주행속도가 80km/h - 130km/h, 중앙고속도로는 100km/h - 150km/h, 서해안고속도로는 110km/h - 160km/h 일 때의 불안뇌파 파워를 비교하였고, 시뮬레이션 주행은 일괄적으로 110km/h - 180km/h로 주행할 때 발생하는 불안뇌파 파워를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 paired t-test 검정을 통하여 불안뇌파가 증가하는 시점 속도를 통계적으로 검증하였다. 그 결과 시뮬레이션 주행 시 불안뇌파 증가시점의 속도는 실제 도로를 주행할 때 불안뇌파 증가시점보다 약 30km/h높게 나타났으며, 설계속도가 90km/h인 도로와 100km/h도로는 같은 속도에서 불안뇌파가 증가하여 도로의 선형과 규격에 차이가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 설계속도가 110km/h도로와 120km/h인 도로에서는 불안감을 느끼는 주행속도가 모두 증가하여 운전자는 도로의 선형과 규격이 향상됨에 따라 더 높은 속도로 주행할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
