This study aims to evaluate the availability of ABM (Active-Based Model), FEATHERS, as a policy evaluation tool. To achieve the goal, scenario analysis on flexible working policy was conducted to measure its impact on activity-travel behavior. As a consequence, there seems no significant change in worker's daily life, other than mitigating traffic congestion due to decreasing commuting travel in the rush hour. The result of VKT (vehicle kilometers traveled) shows an opposite pattern according to given household/individual constraints. The scenario analysis on telecommuting indicates a decreasing trend in both travel frequency and distance because of the diminished number of commuting trips. As the activity space of telecommuters is shifted to a residential area, there are more short-distance trips by using non-motorized transport, which leads to decrease in VKT (using a private vehicle). Thus, the sensitivity of VKT by population groups varies due to transport mode shift (between personal and another mode) and growing non-work trips (using a private mode). This study found few things. First, it is necessary to evaluate the details of policy impact by population groups since it can be varied depending on household/individual characteristics. Second, the case study shows a promising performance of ABM as policy measurement that provides reality in policy evaluation. Third, ABM allows us to do more accurate analysis (i.e. time-series analysis by population groups) of policy assessment than those of FSM (Four-Step Model). Lastly, a further effort in data collection, literature review, and expert survey should be made to enhance the accuracy and confidence of future research.

This research deals with the multi-modal continuous network design problem to resolve the transportation policy problems for constructing and operating transportation facilities with considering the mutual decision-making process between transportation operator and user in the multi-modal network. Particularly, in the consideration of changes in travel pattern between transport modes due to the changes in transportation policy, road network for passenger car and transit network for public transportation are considered together. In the development of network design model, more rational Stackelberg equilibrium(cooperative game) rather than more general Nash equilibrium(non-cooperative game) approach is used and sensitivity analysis considering transport mode is used. A multi-modal continuous network design model in this study is developed for the arbitrary continuous network design parameters(${\epsilon},\hat{\epsilon},p$) of transportation policy decisions. As examples of application and evaluation for these design parameters, the developed model is applied to calculate 1)the optimal capacity of road link in the road transport policy, 2)the optimal frequency of transit line in public transport policy and 3)the optimal modal split in transport modal share policy.

Currently, container transport services play a substantial role in global cargo transportation, by serving as an intermodal between exporter and importer. Container shipping has become increasingly important over the past few decades, due to obvious advantages. However, Vietnam's container market has shown severely ongoing competition among numerous domestic and foreign shipping lines, resulting in serious consequences occurring such as freight rates substantially decreasing within the last 10 years. Vietnam's sea lanes have become more defensive, to cover losses of shipping companies. Selection of criteria for competitive evaluation of container transport companies is necessary, to facilitate addressing the problems within the enterprise, especially relating to its position in the market and from here, business management can implement strategic plans and reasonable policy, to survive and grow.

The budget management in Korea is one-year budget system which is just following int he steps of last years budget plan. This system towards traditional item-by-item and restriction-centered budget system. The budget distribution without establishing and considering rational policy goals and directions have brought inefficient resource allocations. In order to promote the implementation of transportation planning, there are some alternatives like introduction of top-down planning system preparing for the provincial self-government era. In this study, the most efficient alternatives to promote the existing management system is referring by foreign countries transportation planning examples(BVWP system in Germany). First of all, mid-long term transportation and budget planning should be established and then make decisions of resource availability and allocation. In order to provide ration budget planning, introduction of Transportation Planning Programming Budget System(TPBS) has been judged as one of the method of unifying the sysematic transportation improvement planning and budgeting. All transporation planning and related activites can not be expressed in quantity and due to the limitation of excessive cost of analyzing transportation planning and ranking priority, here after, the continuous study to minimize the evaluation cost and introduction of TPBS should be done.

This paper provides information for quantitative evaluation of transportation technology, technology development, and transportation R&D and construction engineering policy agenda. Technology classification structure and key words were established and survey was performed to identify key words of technology for transportation. Then, competitiveness of patents and journal articles is evaluated for Korea, USA, Japan, Germany, France, and England. As a result, USA is the most competitive country for all technology categories based on patents and journal articles. Korea is grouped in upper-middle class for overall transportation technology level. However, there are some variances among the level of technologies. The results of this research can be utilized to establish a road map for transportation R&D and plans.

To improve current transportation service, a new Seoul Metropolitan Transportation Administration (Seoul MTA), backed by Korean central government, is on the way of being established. This paper tries to answer questions such as 'What is the best type of organizational formation of the upcoming institute to deliver better, seamless transportation service?' and 'What is the most suitable scope of work of the upcoming institute to achieve the goal?' A group decision making process, a kind of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was adopted to measure the experts' preferences of alternatives in quantitative scale measurement. To evaluate the alternatives, five evaluation criteria were selected. Among them, it is revealed that 'Improvement of the transportation service' and 'Political & Administrative power to make it happen' are the two most important evaluation criteria over what types or operating costs of the administrations are. When the five evaluation criteria are applied onto the group of alternatives, it yields that a stand-alone organization, which should be independent from upper-level government body, should have an integrated and sole authority on the area-wide transportation system management.

The major countries including Korea extend the national investment on R&D and implement the business performance diffusion policy as the knowledge based competition age arrives recently. The necessity for risk management and systematic management system for R&D achievement have been appeared to prevent the failure as the R&D scale becomes larger as it was said. For this matter, the organization such as NASA and DoD in USA defines the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) as a quantitative accomplishment management index and utilize the Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) system as a criterion. Such tool is evaluated as very effective in the R&D project purposed the practicalization. It is expected that the disadvantage of evaluation system which is oriented to the academic accomplishment in its contents of current research and to contribute greatly to the practicalization of outcomes when such technology readiness level concept is applied to Korean national construction and transportation R&D project. Accordingly, this study analyzed the concept of TRL·TRA, the characteristics and current evaluation management system of Korean national construction and transportation R&D project and suggested the construction and transportation R&D project TRL·TRA performance model to accomplish the practicalization purpose.
