Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) for highway projects is known as an effective analytical technique that uses economic principles to evaluate long-term alternative investment options, especially for comparing the values of alternative pavement design structures and construction strategies. In the Unites States, the 2012 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Century Act (MAP-21) amended the United States Code to mandate that the United States Government Accountability Office (GOA) conducts a study of the best practices for calculating life-cycle costs and benefits for the federally funded highway projects in 2013. The RealCost 2.5CA program was developed and adapted as an official LCCA tool to comply with regulatory requirements for California state highway projects in 2013. Utilization of this California-customized LCCA software helps Caltrans to achieve substantial economic benefits (agency cost and road user cost savings) for highway projects. Proper implementation of LCCA for roadway construction and rehabilitation would deliver noticeable savings of agency's roadway maintenance cost especially in developing counties where financial difficulties exist.

According to the survey for working environment of the cashiers in highway tollbooths, workers replied that noise was the most harmful substances next to air pollutant in the tollbooth. Researches on the noise levels exposed to cashiers in the highway tollbooth scarcely have been performed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to acquire baseline data to prevent health impairments of the cashiers by evaluating noise level exposed to them. Noise dosimeters were used for monitoring workers' noise exposure level in the tollbooths at 8 different highway tollgates. The noise levels of tollbooths did not exceed noise exposure limit of the ministry of labor, 90 dB(A). The average TWA inside of the tollbooths was 55.4 dB(A) and the average TWA outside of tollbooths was 58.3 dB(A). The average TWA outside of tollbooths was slightly higher than that of inside of tollbooths. However, the significance probability(p-value) was 0.255 which means statistically not significant. The noise levels inside and outside of tollbooth were statistically significant to both mean traffic volume per day and traffic volume of passenger car.

교통관리업무에서는 교통관리지원 장비뿐만 아니라 교통관리자 개인의 판단, 지식의 역량 등 인적요소에 의하여 교통성과의 차이가 난다. 따라서 특정조직에서 교통관리 소속원의 자기평가는 교통관리조직의 성과진단 혹은 상태진단을 하는 간접도구로 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문은 국내 다양한 교통관리집단과 일본특정교통관리집단의 자기평가를 통하여 국내 특정 도시간선도로관리기관의 교통관리 상태를 평가하여 적정성을 검토하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 그 결과로서 국내 간선도로관리집단의 조직이 성과, 활동, 미래지향성, 고객 지향성 등에서 다른 집단 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그 집단에 대하여 근무지별로 상세 평가를 하였다. 근무지별로는 본부, 지역본부, 현장, 정보센타, 연구원으로 구분하였다. 근무자들은 소속된 근무지의 교통관리 특성에 맞게 다양한 교통관리 요소의 개선 필요성을 제시하였다.

The objective of this study is to develop an evaluation model for the National highway risky areas. Thus, for the purposes of doing this, National highway risky area evaluated targeting to provide determination ranking and suggesting rival-superiority factors as well as under-inferiority factors in ten National highway risky areas. This study developed for modules of risky areas evaluation, using fuzzy set theory and analytic hierarchy process for evaluation model of National highway risky area in transport environment. The preceding studies assess risk analysis through analysis of causal relationships by National highway safety sector not only handles rating scale development suitable for assessment area by referring to accident frequency model but also geometric structures model. As result of this study, this model of Fuzzy Ahp Risk Analysis (FARA) apply for programmable design in real time processing through easily derive strategy for improvement activities to provide a decision-making effectively. Furthermore, this study contributes frame for improvements of National highway construction for renovation's priority strategy as well as future's policy schemes.

한국도로공사는 40년간 육상교통의 대동맥인 고속국도의 건설 및 운영 대부분을 담당하고 있다. 90년대 이후부터 민영에 의한 고속국도가 건설 및 운영중에 있다. 하지만, 2001년부터 2008년까지 최소운영수입 보장금 명목으로 중앙정부와 지방자치단체가 2001년-2008년까지 민자사업자에게 1조 5,896억원을 지급하였다. 이와 같은 현실에서 한국고속국도 대부분의 건설 및 운영을 담당하고 있는 한국도로공사의 비용구조 파악이 중요한 의미가 있을 것이다. 분석결과 노동과 자본 운영이 높은 교차탄력성을 나타내 높은 대체성이 존재하며, 자본과 운영은 자본의 상승(고속국도 연장 증가)과 고속국도 노후화에 따른 대체성은 다소 존재하지만, 낮은 대체 탄력성을 나타내고 있다. 한국도로공사는 대체적으로 투입요소가 효율적으로 이용되고 있으며, 노동과 자본 운영의 대체탄력성이 높게 나타나 한국도로공사는 전략적으로 아웃소싱 활성화(영업부문)와 영업과 건설(유지관리 포함) 재무적 분리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 고속국도 운영기관의 통합과 함께 하이패스를 활성화 시킨다면, 보다 우리나라 고속국도의 운영의 효율성은 상승시킬 것으로 판단된다.

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.

Design-bid-build (DBB) is the most common project delivery method among highway projects. State Highway Agencies (SHAs) usually apply a low-bid approach to select contractors for their DBB projects. In this approach, the Federal Highway Agency suggests SHAs heighten contractors' competition to lower bid prices. However, these attempts may become ineffective due to collusive bidding arrangements among certain contractors. One common strategy is the rotation of winning bidders of a group of contractors who bid on many of the same projects. These arrangements may also be specific to a particular region or vary in time. Despite the practices' adverse effects on bidding outcomes, an effective model to detect red-flag bidding patterns is lacking. This study fills the gap by proposing a novel framework that utilizes pattern mining techniques and statistical tests for unusual pattern detection. A case study with historical data from an SHA is conducted to illustrate the proposed framework.

Traffic and emergency monitoring systems are essential constituents of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, but the lack of traffic monitoring has become a primary weakness in providing prompt emergency services. Demonstrated in numerous military applications, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have great potentials as a part of ITS infrastructure for providing quick and real-time aerial video images of large surface area to the ground. Despite of obvious advantages of UAVs for traffic monitoring and many other civil applications, it is rare to encounter success stories of UAVs in civil application including transportation. The objective of this paper is to report the outcomes of research supported by the state agency in US to investigate the feasibility of integrating UAVs into urban highway traffic monitoring as a part of ITS infrastructure. These include current technical and regulatory issues, and possible suggestions for a future UAV system in civil applications.

본 논문은 위성통신 시스템에서 OTM(On-The-Move: 이동형) 위성단말이 운용되는 지역의 채널 특성을 분석한 결과를 다룬다. 무궁화 5호 위성의 20 GHz 대역 수신 신호를 이용하여 대전~대천까지 실 주행시험을 수행하였고, 측정 결과를 고속도로 환경과 국도 환경 두 부분으로 구분하여 통계적 분석을 수행하였다. 통계적 분석에는 확률밀도 함수와 Markov 모델을 이용하여 위성 채널의 특성을 분석하였고, 더불어 국도 환경과 고속도로 환경에서 수신 전력의 임계값 설정에 따른 ACD(Average Connection Duration), AFD(Average Fade Duration), LCR(Level Crossing Rate)을 각각 제시하고, 서로 비교하였다.
