The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is preparing to implement the mechanistic-empirical pavement design methodology being developed under the National Cooperative Research Program's Project 1-37A, commonly referred to as the 2002 Pavement Design Guide (2002 Guide). The developers of the 2002 Guide have stated that transportation agencies in compliance with the Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Monitoring Guide will have the traffic data necessary to implement the new pavement design approach. The 2002 Guide is structured in a hierarchical manner with three pavement design levels. For level 1 designs, all project-specific data will be collected, including axle load spectra information (and axle loadings by vehicles classification) and vehicle classification counts at the project location. For level 2 designs, regional and project-specific data will be applied. For Level 3 designs, estimated project-specfic and statewide average or default data will be used in the analysis. The purpose of this effort was to develop a plan to position VDOT to collect traffic and truck axle weight data to support Level 2 pavement designs. This report serves as the basis for implementing and maintaining the truck weigh program necessary for the new pavement design approach and provides data for the current pavement design process used in Virginia (i.e., the 1993 pavement design methodology of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials).
