Quality Control of Alabama Weigh-In-Motion Data from Data User Perspective And Development of MPEDG Traffic Inputs

In this paper, the authors introduce a procedure for quality control (QC) of weigh-in-motion (WIM) data from Alabama, as well as a process for developing reliable mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) traffic inputs. On the basis that QC processes should include simple threshold checks and more data-driven rational checks, the proposed QC process includes an axle load spectra (ALS) peak range check, an ALS peak-shift analysis, and an ALS correlation analysis to quantify a rational approach to QC. The study uses 2006-2008 WIM data from Station 911 in Alabama and develops a process to convert raw TrafLoad outputs into MEPDG-recognized traffic inputs.
