Abstract:

The Motor Carrier Division (MCD) of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) typically issues more than 45,000 permits each month for oversize and/or overweight vehicles. The current procedure for attending permit requests for superheavy vehicles is entirely manual and requires hundreds of man-hours. This report documents the efforts to implement a procedure for the automated route evaluation for overweight/oversize vehicles. The procedure uses a network representation of the On-system roads according to TxDOT base maps to identify bridges on the vehicle's route. The bridges' adequacy, in terms of clearances and weight restrictions, are evaluated. The weight capacities of the bridges are determined according to Texas Administrative Code requirements and/or through Bridge Load Formulae. Description of the operation of the system for routing, as well as for bridge management applications are included.
