Title: Axle Load Distribution Model for Heavy Vehicles on Sun Yat-Sen Freeway in Taiwan
Accession Number: 01088834
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Based on field axle load survey data obtained from 32,456 heavy vehicles at the 4 toll stations on Sun Yat-Sen Freeway in Taiwan, a statistical approach was adopted to characterize axle load distribution of heavy vehicles for pavement design and analysis. Procedures for the calculation of full axle load distribution for single and tandem axles are described, and relevant issues on characterizing axle load distribution data were examined. Statistical analyses show that the distribution patterns at the 4 toll stations, for both single and tandem axles, are significantly different. It was found that the cumulative frequency distribution of single and tandem axle load could best be approximated by the Weibull distribution function. Prediction models were developed and validated, using actual field data, for single and tandem axle load distributions on the national freeway.
