Application of a technique for mathematical simulation of the interaction of heavy highway vehicles with a defined road surface profile is described. The simulation technique is used to develop a practical methodology for summarizing the dynamic vehicular loading experience of a highway pavement under mixed traffic. The design of traffic survey instrumentation system which automatically records all vehicular characteristics needed for the simulation and summarization processes is presented. The Traffic data recording system and the summary processes were used in a field experiment conducted near Georgetown, Texas, over a 20-month period. The summary technique was used to estimate the magnitude and location of dynamic tire forces that were exerted on designated test sections of a pavement by vehicles crossing small bumps on the surface of an otherwise smooth roadway.
