Active construction work zones will result in longer travel time and/or longer travel distances for road users because of reduced speed limits and/or detours. This results in increased fuel consumption and increased emissions of harmful gases such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Sulfur Oxides (SOx), which causes discomfort to the environment and road users around the work zone. The impact of such emissions should be considered while designing work zones or determining the number of days the roadway will be allowed to be closed partially or fully. This study develops a methodology to compute additional road user costs associated with such work zones. To achieve this goal, a) an extensive literature review is conducted, b) a framework to compute emission cost is developed, c) emission rates are computed for all counties (95) of the state of Tennessee, and d) a case study is conducted to demonstrate the use of the framework to estimate the additional impact of emission because of the work zone. For the case study conducted, the emission cost was computed to be $10,653.60 for the duration of the project. State DOTs can account for such road user costs while selecting contractors using A+B bidding. Accounting for such impact of emission will also indicate the agency's willingness to consider sustainability as a part of the business practices.

현재 실무에서 입체교차로 유형을 결정하기 위해서는 해당 도로의 계획 교통량, 지형, 공사비, 주변 입체교차로와의 간격 등을 근거로 해서 결정하고 있지만, 문제는 같은 입력조건을 갖고도 설계자의 주관적 판단이나 발주부서의 요구 사항 등에 따라 서로 다른 유형을 결정할 수 있다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 도로 입체교차로 유형을 객관적으로 결정하여 입력조건이 같다면 항상 일정한 유형을 찾아내는 유형 선정 알고리즘을 개발했다. 이 과정에서 기존 국내에 존재하는 입체교차로의 형식을 조사했고, 그 결과, 정형화된 기본형식 10개를 선정했다. 그 후 각 형식을 연결로의 형태를 고려하여 표시할 수 있는 방안을 제시했다. 또한 각 입체교차로별로 도로 사용자 비용과 입체교차로 공사비를 고려하여 편익과 비용을 구체화하는 방안을 제시했다. 본 연구에서 제시한 입체교차로 유형 선정 방법론은 일관성 있게 입체교차로 형식을 결정해 주는 것으로 분석되었고, 이 결과는 향후 도로 설계 실무자들이 입체교차로 형식을 선정하는 과정에 큰 도움이 될 것이다.

생애주기비용을 고려한 교량의 설계 및 유지관리에 있어서, 점검진단, 보수보강 등에 소요되는 직접적인 비용뿐만 아니라 간접적인 비용인 도로이용자비용은 중요한 비용항목으로 고려되고 있다. 직접비용과 비교하여 상대적으로 추정이 곤란한 도로이용자비용의 추정을 위하여 우회도로의 효과를 고려한 이용자지연비용과 차량운행비용의 정식화를 수행하고, 시간지체에 따른 도로이용자비용의 추정을 위한 회귀모델 개발을 위하여 교통해석과 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 개발된 회귀모델을 생애주기 비용 및 성능 기반 유지관리 전략 수립에 적용하여 도로이용자비용이 생애주기분석에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 개발된 모델의 적용성에 대해서 고찰하였다. 도로이용자비용은 생애주기분석에 기초한 유지관리전략수립에 큰 영향을 미치며, 개발된 회귀모델은 교량의 도로이용자비용의 추정에 실용적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study is intended to propose a systematic approach for reliability-based assessment of life cycle cost (LCC) effectiveness and economic efficiency for cost-effective seismic upgrading of existing bridges. The LCC function is expressed as the sum of the upgrading cost and all the discounted life cycle damage costs, which is formulated as a function of the Park-Ang damage index and structural damage probability. The damage costs are expressed in terms of direct damage costs such as repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, and indirect damage costs such as road user costs and indirect regional economic losses. For dealing with a variety of uncertainties associated with earthquake loads and capacities, a simulation-based reliability approach is used. The SMART-DRAIN-2DX, which is a modified version of the well-known DRAIN-2DX, is extended by incor-porating LCC analysis based on the LCC function developed in the study. Economic efficiencies for optimal seismic upgradings of the continuous PC segmental bridges are assessed using the proposed LCC functions and benefit-cost ratio.

본 연구의 목적은 예비타당성조사에서 수행한 도시부 간선도로 확장공사로 인한 부(-)의 편익을 산정하고 이것이 경제성 평가에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 북부간선도로 태릉-구리 간 확장사업의 실제 예비타당성조사 단계에서 통상적인 편익 산출 방법론을 적용하였으며, 공사로 인한 차량운행비용, 통행시간, 교통사고, 환경비용의 부(-)의 편익을 산출하였다. 분석 결과, 부(-)의 편익의 적용여부는 사업의 경제적 타당성 평가에 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 공사기간, 공사의 종류, 공사구간 및 교통량 등에 따라 부(-)의 편익에 많은 영향을 주는 감소되는 용량 및 자유속도가 현저하게 다를 수 있으며, 향후에는 이러한 요소와 용량 및 자유속도에 대한 상세한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

PURPOSES : This study aims at proposing the methodology for benefit evaluations in pavement maintenance methods and timings using KoPMS(Korean Pavement Management System) software which was developed for efficient pavement management. METHODS : This study classified pavement sections into 4 clusters considering AADT(Annual Average Daily Traffic) and ESAL(Equivalent Single-Axle Load) using cluster analysis and used the deterioration models in each cluster. Increased user costs due to pavement deterioration as time goes by and agent costs for maintenance were estimated. Based on deterioration model and KoPMS software, Methodology for benefit evaluation was proposed in pavement maintenance methods and with/without implementation using real pavement section data. RESULTS : This study verified that considering agent costs only would be constrained to decide pavement maintenance methods and timings, and ascertained that decision making with agent and user costs would be effective. In addition, this study revealed that pavement maintenance methods and timings can be affected by AADT and ESAL and frequent pavement maintenances can be more efficient for benefits in pavement sections with more AADT and ESAL. Also this study found that user costs would be more affected to decision making than agent costs. Moreover, Delay of conducting pavement maintenance caused increased vehicle operating costs and environmental costs because of poor conditions of pavements. CONCLUSIONS : This study proposed LCCA and benefit estimation methodology of pavement with considering agent and user costs. The results of this study can be used for baseline data of efficient pavement asset management.

This study is intended to propose a systematic procedure for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective Performance criteria for design and upgrading of long span PC bridges. In the paper, a set of cost function models for life cycle cost analysis of bridges is proposed. The total life cycle cost functions consist of initial cost and direct/indirect damage costs considering repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, road user costs, and indirect regional economic losses. The damage costs are successfully expressed in terms of Park-Ang median global damage indices and damage probabilities. The proposed approach is successfully applied to model bridges in both regions of a moderate seismicity area like Seoul, Korea and a high one like Tokyo, Japan. It may be expected that the proposed approach can be effectively utilized for the development of cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of various types of bridges as well as long span PC bridges.

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.

This study is intended to propose a systematic procedure for the development of the conditional assessment based on the safety of structures and the cost effective performance criteria for designing and upgrading of bridge structures. As a result, a set of cost function models for a life cycle cost analysis of bridge structures is proposed and thus the expected total life cycle costs (ETLCC) including initial (design, testing and construction) costs and direct/indirect damage costs considering repair and replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, road user costs, and indirect regional economic losses costs. Also, the optimum safety indices are presented based on the expected total cost minimization function using only three parameters of the failure cost to the initial cost (${\tau}$), the extent of increased initial cost by improvement of safety (${\nu}$) and the order of an initial cost function (n). Through the enough numerical invetigations, we can positively conclude that the proposed optimum design procedure for bridge structures based on the ETLCC will lead to more rational, economical and safer design.
