ESTIMATION OF EQUIVALANT AXLE LOADS: COMPUTER PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION

The estimation of equivalent axledloads (EAL) requires the correlation of several data bases. Described herein are three computer programs which summarize truckweight data and classification data, and combine the two data bases to estimate EAL's for each site where classification counts are available in a given year. The program also presents the data in two matrices to characterize the effects that geographic area, federal-aid classification, coal-haul to compute EAL's. (Author)
