• Abstract:
  A revised procedure for estimating equivalent single axleloads (ESALs) was developed in 1985. This procedure used weight, classification, and traffic volume data collected by the Transportation Cabinet's Division of Planning. ; Annual updates of data used for estimating ESALs have been prepared for the Transportation Cabinet by the Kentucky Transportation Center for approximately 20 years. The update involves processing traffic characteristics data through a series of quality control and analytical programs to produce estimates of following parameters: ; Average daily traffic, ; Percent trucks, ; Percent tracks classified as heavy/coal, ; Axles per truck, ; Axles per heavy/coal truck, ; ESALs per truck axle, ; ESALs per heavy/coal truck axle, and ; Total ESALs.
