The report is the third in the series of four which present the results of the collaborative research program between Cheshire County Council and the Transport Operations Research Group at the University of Newcastle. The primary aim of the research has been to determine the loading characteristics of heavy goods vehicles and to assess the effect of these characteristics on the structural design of highway pavements. The secondary aim forms the subject of the report. An estimate has been made of the county-wide pattern of goods movements based on commodity flow and route data collected at 18 sites which were selected to be representative of the county road network.
