Abstract: Oil field traffic is identified and an estimate of increased annual cost associated with a reduced pavement serviceability is determined. Identification of oil field traffic through photographic documentation yielded a count of the number of axle repetitions as well as a description of the physical characteristics of each vehicle. Equivalent 18 kip (8,154 kg) single axle load repetitions were determined using standard “W‐Tables” for Texas rural highways. The analytic procedure examines the effects of oil well traffic on a light‐duty pavement. Evaluation is based on the concept of pavement serviceability developed at the AASHTO Road Test. A reduced pavement service life results in an increased annual cost for a low volume light‐duty pavement section.
