ITS for Variable Load Restrictions
This report reviews the planning, design, and operations and maintenance data requirements for asphalt pavements. Methods for determining when to implement and lift spring load restrictions (SLR) and winter weight premiums (WWP) are reviewed, and recommendations are made on how intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including field equipment and central software systems, can be used to quantitatively assist transportation agencies in making these determinations. Details on the types of field sensors that can meet the data collection requirements and a Road Condition Watch software requirements specification are incorporated. Recommendations are described for a basic system and an advanced system, which take into account current best practices and research that is under way to study SLR.
