Abstract: The evaluation of the pavement preservation interventions is the most important component of a pavement management system. There is a need for a rational methodology to evaluate pavement preservation alternatives to maximize ...

Abstract: In traffic characterization, axle load spectra (ALS) are one of the most critical inputs in the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Axle load spectra have a significant effect on predicted pavement ...

Abstract: The mechanistic-empirical (ME) design procedures utilize axle load spectra to characterize the individual traffic loadings for a site. These loading characteristics are employed to calculate pavement response and for ...
