The research study evaluated the current version of the M-E Design Guide and determined the traffic data needs. Traffic data provided by the Texas Department of Transportations (TxDOT) Transportation Planning and Programing Division (TPP) was processed and used to conduct a pavement evaluation and sensitivity analysis. The findings of the sensitivity analysis were used to quantify the effect of various traffic variables on pavement design and performance. A gap analysis between needs and available data in Texas was performed. Based on this analysis, recommendations for temporal and spatial distribution of weigh-in-motion (WIM) stations were developed.
