Trends in HGV Performance in the Main Greek Road Network: Lessons to Learn
In this paper, the authors review the findings from two studies on the dynamic characteristics of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) in the main interurban Greek road network. The studies were conducted in Greece from 2000 to 2003 and used weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology. This research sought to identify trends in the values of basic parameters that define HGV performance and to develop low cost methods for defining HGV impacts on pavement using simple traffic volume and classification counts. The analysis of two coefficients--Vehicle Class Equivalence Coefficient (VCEC) and Area Equivalence Coefficient (AEC) were considered for different vehicle classes and sites, allowing for a description gross and axle weight of HGVs per vehicle class.
