Abstract:

This report develops a methodology for estimating the effects of different categories of overweight

trucks on NYSDOT pavements and bridges. A data mining algorithm is used to categorize truck

data collected at several Weigh-In-Motion stations around the state of New York based on the

trucks’ adherence to the state’s legal weight limits. The data indicate that about 11% of the trucks

traveling on New York highways may be carrying divisible load permits, 1% may be carrying

special hauling permits, while about 6% may be illegally overweight

The analysis shows that these overweight trucks are increasing the risk to failure of bridges by

causing stresses above those specified in design specifications and by reducing bridge service

(fatigue) lives through repetitive overloading. A monetization of the safety margin utilization due

to the combined overstress and cyclic fatigue shows that trucks carrying divisible load permits

may be responsible for $50M per year in NYS bridge infrastructure cost, trucks with special

hauling permits may be responsible for $2M/yr in additional cost while illegally overweight trucks

may be responsible for $43M per year for a total of $95M/yr.

The cost allocation study performed on the NYS pavement network shows that the cost to

NYS pavements due to overweight trucks is about $145M/yr divided into $78M/yr for divisible load

permits, $7M/yr for special hauling permits and $60M/yr for illegally overweight trucks.
