چکیده
VMT and vehicle classification are vital inputs in the design and operation of an efficient transportation infrastructure system. In particular, heavytruck VMT is important as the number of heavy vehicles on a road affects traffic operations, safety, and pavement performance. Research has revealed that current methods used in the estimation of heavy-truck VMT are often less accurate than those used for passenger vehicles. Therefore, the goal of this research was to evaluate existing methods used by state DOTs, identify deficiencies, and make recommendations on reducing uncertainties in heavy-truck VMT estimates.

متن کاملModelling of Cranking Behaviour in Heavy Duty Truck Engines
In modern heavy duty trucks the battery is a central component. Its traditional role as an energy source for engine cranking has been extended to include powering a number of electrical components on the truck, both during driving and during standstill. As a consequence of this it is important to know how much a battery in use has aged and lost in terms of capacity and power output. The difficu...
