This study was conducted to provide the basic policy information for systematic forest road planning and maintenance management by surveying two different administrator groups. The survey results showed that the high priorities of forest road planning were silviculture, disaster prevention, and timber harvesting, and main forest road type was preferred for future use. Also 92.9% of the respondents expressed difficulties due to insufficient manpower and budget. The expected damage types due to forest road construction were threat-to-life by slope failure and dispute on crossing private land. The current main maintenance tasks on forest roads included drainage and road surface maintenance works. Main forest road facilities that should be needed after the construction were installation of additional drainage structures, and slope revegetation and stabilization.

The current status of local road pavement management in Jeollabuk-do only relies on the accomplishments of the site construction company's pavement repair and is only managed through Microsoft Excel and word documents. Furthermore, the budget is irregular each year. Accordingly, a systematic maintenance plan for local roads is necessary. In this paper, data related to road damage and road environment were collected and processed to derive possible areas which could suffer from road damage. The effectiveness of the methodology was reviewed through the on-site inspection of the area. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, in 2018, the number of damages on general national roads were about 47,000. In 2019, it reached around 38,000. Furthermore, the number of lawsuits regarding the road damages were about 93 in 2018 and it increased to 119 in 2019. In the case of national roads, the number of damages decreased compared to 2018 due to pavement repairs. To measure the priorities in maintenance of local roads at Jeollabuk-do, data on maintenance history, local port hole occurrence site, overlapping business section, and emergency maintenance section were transformed into data. Eventually, it led to improvements in maintenance of local roads. Furthermore, spatial data were constructed using various current status data related to roads, and finally the data was processed into a new form that could be utilized in machine learning and predictions. Using the spatial data, areas requiring maintenance on pavement were predicted and the results were used to establish new budgets and policies on road management.

Mongolia is a developing country with a smaller population living across a large territory where infrastructure is underdeveloped. The country has been actively implementing road construction in recent years. The Mongolian government has increased investments in new road construction, but funding for major maintenance or reconstruction projects declined between 2012 and 2016. On the other hand, road network management has not been implemented owing to insufficient road maintenance and If the road network expands, there is a risk that the cost of overall maintenance will increase significantly in the future. Therefore, in order to cope with these problems, this study reviewed applying Korean road model to Mongolia for systematic management of road infrastructure.

Retaining wall is a constructed structure in order to construct road, rail, building for effective use and obtainments of the limited ground. Recently, many kinds of research have been actively developed for a standardization and information to the maintenance and management of bridge, tunnel, road. With the works of database construction of that, many kinds of data with respect to statistics is cumulated. Database work of retaining wall is wholly lacking and lagged behind in the works of database construction. This paper suggests classification system on inspection data. On the basis of that, code work with classification system was practised and DB program of inspection data of retaining wall was developed. And input work for a data of maintenance and management was practised. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a kind of statistics data and investigate a characteristics of inspection using statistic data on retaining wall.

In the study, there has been a sharp upward trend in road maintenance cost as the expansion of road networks increases. Running a pavement management system(PMS) is indispensable for efficient and scientific maintenance of the whole road networks with limited maintenance budgets. With a PMS, a maintenance plan should be drawn up after surface conditions are precisely examined and analyzed. The majority of the present PMSs are run by the fact that experts first examine surface conditions on sites, and then enter results into systems. However, considering the actual circumstances of the present time and the increase in paved road hereafter, it is inefficient that experts examine the whole paved roads in person and long-lasting PMSs can not be kept up. As a result, after analyzing the accuracy of 3-D coordinates representing road surfaces that was decided using multi orientation and digital photogrammetry, the average of standard errors turned out to be 0.0427m on the X-axis, 0.0527m on the Y-axis and 0.1539m on the Z-axis. It was found to be good enough to be put to practical use for maps drawn on scales below 1 :1000, which are being currently made and used within the country, and GIS data.

PURPOSES : This study aims to examine the differences between the existing traffic demand forecasting method and the traffic demand forecasting method considering future regional development plans and new road construction and expansion plans using a four-step traffic demand forecast for a more objective and sophisticated national highway maintenance. This study ultimately aims to present future pavement deterioration and budget forecasting planning based on the examination. METHODS : This study used the latest data offered by the Korea Transport Data Base (KTDB) as the basic data for demand forecast. The analysis scope was set using the Daejeon Metropolitan City's O/D and network data. This study used a traffic demand program called TransCad, and performed a traffic assignment by vehicle type through the application of a user equilibrium-based multi-class assignment technique. This study forecasted future traffic demand by verifying whether or not a realistic traffic pattern was expressed similarly by undertaking a calibration process. This study performed a life cycle cost analysis based on traffic using the forecasted future demand or existing past pattern, or by assuming the constant traffic demand. The maintenance criteria were decided according to equivalent single axle loads (ESAL). The maintenance period in the concerned section was calculated in this study. This study also computed the maintenance costs using a construction method by applying the maintenance criteria considering the ESAL. The road user costs were calculated by using the user cost calculation logic applied to the Korean Pavement Management System, which is the existing study outcome. RESULTS : This study ascertained that the increase and decrease of traffic occurred in the concerned section according to the future development plans. Furthermore, there were differences from demand forecasting that did not consider the development plans. Realistic and accurate demand forecasting supported an optimized decision making that efficiently assigns maintenance costs, and can be used as very important basic information for maintenance decision making. CONCLUSIONS : Therefore, decision making for a more efficient and sophisticated road management than the method assuming future traffic can be expected to be the same as the existing pattern or steady traffic demand. The reflection of a reliable forecasting of the future traffic demand to life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) can be a very vital factor because many studies are generally performed without considering the future traffic demand or with an analysis through setting a scenario upon LCCA within a pavement management system.

The government policy had placed new construction as the kernel of the investment in the road department. This had been shifted, however, since the government's budget of the road department reached its peak in 2000, new construction had came to a downsizing phase while the maintenance increased gradually. Considering this recent trend, the necessity of a new paradigm in the road policy had came to a fore, in order to prove the justification of increase in the maintenance budget as well as successfully fulfill the user's needs in the service quality. The developed countries that had intensively constructed social infrastructure in 1950-60s are enjoying a great achievement by applying the asset management concept in coping with the deterioration of the public facilities. This research suggests the basic framework in establishing "Korean Road Asset Management System" designed to efficiently manage the national road. The main feature of this system is to absorb economic analysis course into the current pavement management system, in order to form not only long-lasting but also preventive road management policy.

The road management institute needs lots of cost to repair road surface damage. These damages are inevitable due to natural factors and aging, but maintenance technologies for efficient repair of the broken road are needed. Various technologies have been developed and applied to cope with such a demand. Recently, maintenance technology for road surface damage repair is being developed using image information collected in the form of a black box installed in a vehicle. There are various methods to extract the damaged region, however, we will discuss the image recognition technology of the deep neural network structure that is actively studied recently. In this paper, we introduce a new neural network which can estimate the road damage and its location in the image by region-based convolution neural network algorithm. In order to develop the algorithm, about 600 images were collected through actual driving. Then, learning was carried out and compared with the existing model, we developed a neural network with 10.67% accuracy.
