• Abstract:
  A computer program that processes Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) and Automatic Vehicle Classifier (AVC) data into a format usable by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) was developed in this project. The program calculates average Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) factors by vehicle configuration, average vehicle weights by configuration, and indicators of WIM system performance for WIM/AVC sites. This information is available both in a selected time window and annually. The program, written using the Microsoft Access database, also identifies and describes the overweight vehicles found in the data.
