TRUCK WEIGHT DATA PROCESSING, STORAGE, AND REPORTING. FINAL REPORT
This report documents the findings of the PennDOT Weigh-In-Motion research project, including the evaluation of PennDOT WIM units, the survey of PennDOT needs, analysis of the surveys and recommendations, and the development and testing of the computer programs. Based on an analysis of the responses to the survey questionnaire and an investigation of the existing computer programs provided through FHWA and the PAT, IRD, and Golden River firms, five computer analyses were developed. These are: (1) average truck weight, (2) equivalent single-axle loads, (3) number of trucks by weight range, (4) trucks exceeding standard weight limits, and (5) cumulative fatigue damage on bridge structures.
