Characterizing traffic and develo** accurate and desirable traffic inputs for the new
Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) are critical but challenging …

The purpose of this study is to characterize traffic inputs in support of the new Mechanistic-
Empirical Pavement Design Guide (ME PDG) for the state of Michigan. These traffic …

The values of equivalent single axle loads (ESAL) have been used to represent the vehicle
loads in pavement design. To improve the pavement design procedures, a new method …

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 …

This research study primarily addresses the current traffic characterization techniques used
in Louisiana for pavement design practices in order to identify critical changes needed as …

The Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) uses performance models to
predict cracking and rutting in flexible pavements. A unique mechanism controls the …

It is crucial to evaluate the consistency in weigh-in-motion (WIM) loading over time and
quantify the relative accuracy of axle loads based on axle load spectra (ALS) data for …

Although commercial mineral fillers have become mandatory for use in asphalt concrete
mixtures by many highway agencies, the consequences of such additives have shown a …

For pavement design practices, several factors must be considered to ensure good
performance of the pavement over the anticipated life cycle. Such factors include, but are not …
