Mathematical models of five representative classes of highway vehicles have been formulated and verified by extensive field experimentation. Good agreement was found between computed and measured wheel forces for all vehicle types, vehicle speeds (10 to 60 mph), and road surface roughness patterns investigated. These mathematical simulation models which describe realistic dynamic loading patterns can now be used directly for design of pavements and bridges and for research on improved structural design procedures. A statistical analysis of the experimental data showed that a single pair of dynamic scales installed flush with the pavement surface can be used to estimate static wheel loads and gross vehicle weights with accuracy acceptable for traffic survey purposes with the advantages of safety, convenience, and economy to both the highway department and the road users.
