SOC investment is shrinking as the national budget for road construction in Korea is steadily declining. Thus, Nation's highway policy should shift from investments to operations. In other words, transportation planner and operator need to a new method which an advanced operation policy from evaluation efficiency index for decision making.
In this study, we have established an objective measure to assess the operational efficiency of the national highway network. It is currently operating in the National Highway Network, and provides a cost-effective and efficient way to utilize the national highway network.
The main purpose of this study is two things. One thing is that establishment of basic environment that allows us to monitoring and check the conditions of the national highway network. The other thing is that evaluating the efficiency of the national highway network by specific policy objectives of the Ministry of Land Transportation.
The results of the efficiency evaluation are used as basic data for the improvement strategy of national road network operation strategy.
Also, that is possible to enhance the continuous monitoring and evaluation method due to the establishment of the DB. It can be used as a basic index to meet the needs of the complicated administrators and users.
We are deeply grateful for the help of the experts and the professionals who have helped through the meetings, seminars, research cooperation, and relevant agencies.
