국가 기간산업의 중추 역할을 수행하는 일반 국도는 대부분 일반 아스팔트 포장으로 되어 있으며, 최근 들어 고온 및 중차량의 증대로 인해 포장의 수명이 급격히 줄어들고 있는 실정이다. 이런 이유로 많은 경우 신설포장에 대해서는 SMA. 개질아스팔트 등 특수포장이 적용되고 있다. 그러나 어떤 경우에 특수 포장을 채택할 것인가에 대한 적용 기준이 명확히 제시되어 있지 않아 설계 실무자들이 포장형식 선정을 위한 의사 결정에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 부분적인 해결책으로 과거 10여 년 동안 수행된 국도 포장유지관리시스템의 자료를 이용하여 교통량에 따른 일반 아스팔트포장의 수명을 분석하였다. 분석결과 신설포장은 9.5년, 덧씌우기 포장은 5.6년으로 나타났다. 또한 현재의 포장 수명에 대한 분포 자료를 이용하여 설계 수명인 10년을 공용하기 위한 교통량을 신뢰수준에 따라 제시하였다. 그 결과 90%의 신뢰수준에서는 8.2ton 표준 축하중 2,300 ESAL, 80% 신뢰수준에서는 8.2ton 표준 축하중 1,500 ESAL로 나타났다 즉, 여기서 제시된 교통량보다 많은 구간에 대해서는 특수 포장의 적용을 검토할 것을 제안한다.

This paper presents a complete method for vehicle detection and tracking in a fixed setting based on computer vision. Vehicle detection is performed based on Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) feature matching. With SIFT feature detection and matching, the geometrical relations between the two images is estimated. Then, the previous image is aligned with the current image so that moving vehicles can be detected by analyzing the difference image of the two aligned images. Vehicle tracking is also performed based on SIFT feature matching. For the decreasing of time consumption and maintaining higher tracking accuracy, the detected candidate vehicle in the current image is matched with the vehicle sample in the tracking sample set, which contains all of the detected vehicles in previous images. Most remarkably, the management of vehicle entries and exits is realized based on SIFT feature matching with an efficient update mechanism of the tracking sample set. This entire method is proposed for highway traffic environment where there are no non-automotive vehicles or pedestrians, as these would interfere with the results.

PURPOSES : This study aims to investigate the direct and indirect influence areas from incidents on urban interrupted roadways and to develop traffic management strategies for each influence area. METHODS : Based on a literature review, various traffic management strategies for certain incidents were collected. In addition, the relationship between the measure of effectiveness and the characteristics of incidents was explored using an extensive simulation study. RESULTS : From the simulation studies, traffic delays increased as the number of lane closures increased, and the impact of lane closures was reduced to the direction upstream from the incident site. However, the magnitude of the delay change depended on the degree of saturation. Using these characteristics, the direct and indirect influence areas resulting from incidents were defined, and traffic management strategies were established for each direct and indirect influence area and for each level of incident. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study will contribute to the improvement of national traffic safety by preventing secondary incidents and by effective adaptation to incident events.

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.

교통량은 교통망 계획, 도로 설계, 도로 관리 등에 직접적으로 활용되는 중요한 기초자료이다. 교통량은 고정식 교통량조사 장비를 설치하여 연속적인 자료를 수집하는 상시조사와 특정일을 조사하는 수시조사로 구분되어 조사되고 있다. 상시조사의 경우 조사 지점에 설치되어 있는 장비의 고장이나 오작동 등으로 인하여 교통량 자료의 결측이 발생하며, 이러한 결측을 보정하기 위하여 다양한 방법이 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 결측 발생일 전 후의 자료를 활용하는 응용 지수평활화법을 제안하였으며, 평가 결과 교통량 변동계수가 낮은 경우 보정의 정확성이 제고됨을 알 수 있었다. 게다가 지점의 교통량 변동성이 결측 보정의 정확성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인으로 작용한다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 교통량 결측 보정의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서는 지점별-시기별 결측 보정 방법이 달리 적용되어야 할 것이다.

차량 안전 통신은 교통사고 예방에 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 이를 위해 교통사고가 발생하면 연쇄 추돌 사고를 예방하기 위한 안전 메시지를 전달하는 많은 프로토콜이 연구되었다. 이러한 프로토콜은 노드가 안전 메시지를 발생시키는 시점을 교통사고가 발생 했을 경우로 가정한다. 만약, 교통사고 위험을 예측하여 안전 메시지를 전달한다면 운전자는 빠른 대응 조치가 가능하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 통신 기법을 이용한 교통사고 위험 예측 알고리즘을 제안한다. 결과적으로, 제안된 알고리즘을 기존 프로토콜에 적용한 결과 약 4~5 %의 더 높은 프레임 수신율을 보여주었다.

PURPOSES : The study aims to predict the service life of national highway asphalt pavements through deep learning methods by using maintenance history data of the National Highway Pavement Management System. METHODS : For the configuration of a deep learning network, this study used Tensorflow 1.5, an open source program which has excellent usability among deep learning frameworks. For the analysis, nine variables of cumulative annual average daily traffic, cumulative equivalent single axle loads, maintenance layer, surface, base, subbase, anti-frost layer, structural number of pavement, and region were selected as input data, while service life was chosen to construct the input layer and output layers as output data. Additionally, for scenario analysis, in this study, a model was formed with four different numbers of 1, 2, 4, and 8 hidden layers and a simulation analysis was performed according to the applicability of the over fitting resolution algorithm. RESULTS : The results of the analysis have shown that regardless of the number of hidden layers, when an over fitting resolution algorithm, such as dropout, is applied, the prediction capability is improved as the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of the test data increases. Furthermore, the result of the sensitivity analysis of the applicability of region variables demonstrates that estimating service life requires sufficient consideration of regional characteristics as $R^2$ had a maximum of between 0.73 and 0.84, when regional variables where taken into consideration. CONCLUSIONS : As a result, this study proposes that it is possible to precisely predict the service life of national highway pavement sections with the consideration of traffic, pavement thickness, and regional factors and concludes that the use of the prediction of service life is fundamental data in decision making within pavement management systems.
