WEIGH-IN-MOTION DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR MECHANISTIC PAVEMENT DESIGN

One of the main applications of weigh-in-motion (WIM) data is in the area of pavement design and management. Traffic loads are used to determine the type, strength, and composition of pavement structures. Pavement design technology is undergoing significant changes by moving from an experience-based design to a mechanistic pavement design that requires more detailed characterization of traffic loads, and places new demands on traffic data monitoring systems and the management and use of traffic data. This paper describes traffic data requirements for mechanistic pavement design and the impact of these requirements on the future WIM data collection and processing.
