Abstract:Average Daily Truck Traffic (ADTT) increased dramatically in Texas in the 1990s partly because of the
implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accurate information on truck
volumes and truck characteristics is critical to transportation planning and infrastructure investments
conducted by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and other public agencies responsible for
the road system in the State of Texas. This report covers the second year activities of TxDOT Research
Project 0-5339. The objectives in the second year were to (a) collect data from a statistical sample of
Mexican carriers – those that have applied to operate beyond the current commercial zones once the border
opens – on the size of the Mexican companies, the types of operations, and equipment currently used and
anticipated to be used for cross-border movements, and (b) to collect and analyze weigh-in-motion data from
Texas and Mexico in order to establish their main characteristics as they affect pavement performance.
