Generation of traffic input for flexible pavement design

Layered elastic theory (LET) was performed by Burmister. It helped to build mechanistic – empirical (M-E) pavement design. In this study, three different approaches were used predict Cumulative Equivalent single axle load (C-ESAL) over the design period. Two based on M-E and one empirical. each of these cases, standard loads as well weight limits vehicle classification, according their configurations (single, tandem, tridem). Traffic data came from annual traffic census campaigns past ten years. Gross (GVW) (AW) a fixed weighing station during 31 days in 2020. road axis considered: One having (reference road) under technical studies (specific road). perform regression analyses predictions. AW GVW calculate Axle equivalency factors (ALEF) Truck (TEF) reference road. These values projected specific Frequency distribution, gross distribution heavy vehicles are applied We overload analyses. Comparisons done for an evaluation proposed, including monitoring management systems. This work basis transposition calculation inputs, more accurate passed fifty years, Higher Income countries, called AASHTO method USA, LCPC-SETRA France, Cameroon Sub-sahara African that have been using generation inputs same period, CEBTP method.
