    • Abstract:
      Louisianan has established a traffic monitoring program, compliant with FHWA incentives, that is designed to collect and manage the traffic data needed for the design and management of LADOTD's network of current and future highways. In the early 1980s, the availability of this database helped make it possible to develop the Load Equivalency Factor (LEF) tables currently used by department (this, partly in response to a process review by the FHWA) and currently serving as an integral part of LADOTD's highway design practice. Traffic monitoring, at present, is much better established and has produced raw data of greater volume and quality than was previously available.

      The primary objective of this research is to revise Louisiana's LEF tables and to quantify traffic growth trends if possible. Conducing a statistical analysis on the table's supportive database is also an objective intent on examining the relative precision and accuracy of each of the terms found in the revised tables.
