Book Description
In 2003, staff of the Virginia Transportation Research Council (now the Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) developed a plan to collect traffic and truck-axle weight data to support the Guide for Mechanistic-Empirical Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures, known as the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The purpose of this study was to review VDOT's traffic data plan for the MEPDG and revise it as needed. The review included an assessment of the data obtained from the VDOT and Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles weigh-in-motion (WIM) sites and the appropriateness of the truck weight groups in VDOT's traffic data plan. Information on truck travel patterns and characteristics was compiled. There is very little literature that provides specific information on the structure of a traffic data plan for the MEPDG. Guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration allows for much flexibility in the development of such a plan. Most states are working to develop the plan, and such plans that are already in place vary considerably. The Corridors of Statewide Significance in Virginia's statewide long-range multimodal transportation plan represent the routes where truck traffic is most prominent and therefore represent routes on which the VDOT plan should focus. The study recommends that VDOT continue with its current truck weight data plan for the MEPDG. With this plan, VDOT is positioned to implement the MEPDG from a truck data perspective, The WIM data comprise an important input to the MEPDG process that is expected to provide VDOT with more accurate pavement designs based on actual traffic loadings in Virginia.

Book Description
This study was conducted by staff of the Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC) with assistance from the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) Asset Management Division and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The purpose of this study was to provide the background research necessary to fulfill the mandate of Virginia's General Assembly that VDOT, in consultation with the Commonwealth Transportation Board, recommend legislation regarding the operation of trucks hauling gravel, sand, and crushed stone under 46.2-1143, subsection H, of the Code. The objectives of the study were three-fold: (1) to examine the issues involved with extending subsection H, (2) determine the additional maintenance costs associated with the higher weight limits allowed under the legislation, and (3) to develop policy options to address the maintenance cost impacts of vehicles traveling with overweight permits, a number of which are obtainable at no cost. The researchers performed an analysis of the effects of the higher axle and gross vehicle weights on rates of pavement deterioration and any associated effects on VDOT's maintenance costs, which included input from parties affected by the legislation. Although the researchers reviewed existing studies relating vehicle weight to safe operation on the roadway, they did not undertake additional study in this area.
