• Abstract:
  Permits are one of the most effective and common tools for state agencies to regulate the operation of overweight and ; oversize vehicles by ensuring the safety of passenger and freight traffic and minimizing damage to pavements and ; bridges while promoting commerce and the safe movement of goods and services. Although the State of Illinois uses a ; relatively comprehensive permit system, many of its parts have not been revised for more than 30 years. Therefore, the ; objective of this study was to revise the current permit system by evaluating up-to-date impacts of overweight vehicles. ; In this study, impacts of overweight (OW) vehicles were evaluated in three aspects (bridge, pavement, and traffic safety) ; and individual fees were developed for each. The most recent databases on infrastructure condition and state-of-the-art ; prediction/classification algorithms were employed to produce the realistic and up-to-date assessment of OW vehicles' ; impact. Finally, a combined permit fee was recommended as a function of miles to be traveled, as well as axle and ; weight information, by aggregating the calculated individual fees.
