A calculation procedure has been developed to determine the economic benefit of increased pavement life resulting from operation of a port of entry (POE). Weigh-in-motion data and the AASHTO equivalent single axle load tables are used to evaluate the percentage of overloaded trucks and their equivalents. These values are then used to calculate a reduction of pavement life. The cost of reduced pavement life is based on construction and rehabilitation costs of a typical asphalt highway section with an assumed life of 36 years. The economic benefit of increased pavement life resulting from the Bliss POE ranges from $175,000 to $407,000 depending on the assumed influence of the POE.
