Book Description
The objectives of the current cost allocation study, the fifth in a series begun in 1982, include the following: 1) to evaluate current cost allocation methodologies and identify possible changes to Kentucky practices; and 2) to determine the 1991 fiscal year levels of cost responsibility and revenue contribution for each of several classes of highway users. Additional objectives include an evaluation of the equity of tax proposals advanced by the Kentucky Motor Transport Association, a preliminary determination of the revenue and cost implications of the Extended-Weight Coal Haul System, and an evaluation of the efficiency with which certain highway user taxes have been collected. As was the case in other recent cost-allocation studies, incremental cost assignment has been replaced with various highway use measures including vehicle-miles of travel, axle-miles, passenger-car-equivalent miles, and equivalent-single-axle-load miles. Results from the analysis indicate that cost responsibility was borne most heavily by passenger cars and motorcycles (44.2%). Other cost responsibilities were 24.6% for heavy trucks; 20.4% for pickups and vans; and 10.8% for all other groups. When compared to revenue for each vehicle class; cars, pickups and vans, and heavy trucks exceeded their cost responsibility, while medium trucks fell significantly short. From a limited examination of the Extended-Weight Coal Haul System, it was found that an estimated $2 million are lost annually from the Road Fund because fewer trucks are registered. Heavier weights of coal-decal trucks add approximately $9 million annually to pavement overlay costs. Related to tax collection, it was found that the weight-distance tax was collected at an efficiency of about 70% and other user-reported fuel taxes in the range of 75 to 77%.

Using the Traffic Monitoring Guide to Develop a Truck Weight Sampling Procedure for Use in Virginia
Author: Benjamin H. CottrellPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Motor vehicle scales
Languages : en
Pages : 54
Book Description
The Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG) provides a method for the development of a statistically based procedure to monitor traffic characteristics such as traffic loadings. Truck weight data in particular are a major element of the pavement management process because there is a strong relationship between pavement deterioration and truck weights. Because truck weight data collected by weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems are more representative of actual traffic loadings and are more efficient than enforcement and static weight data, the use of the TMG and WIM systems together provide improved monitoring of truck weights. The objective of this research was to develop a plan for VDOT to implement a truck weight sampling procedure using the TMG and WIM systems. Four alternatives from the TMG that were based on different schemes for multiple measurements at permanent WIM sites were evaluated. A truck weight sampling plan was developed for the preferred alternative. Truck weight sample sites, data collection procedures, cost and resources estimates, data from permanent WIM sites, and data management information are included in the plan.
