Abstract:

The principal objectives of this study were to determine the following characteristics about special-use truck traffic: traffic patterns, vehicle axle distributions, axle load distributions, and radius of influence. The commodity movements which are considered in this study are: timber, produce, grain, beef cattle, limestone, and sand/gravel. Oil and gas exploration activities were the initial special-use concerns. Study 299 which addressed the effects of oilfield development on Texas roadways preceded the 420 study. Projects 299 and 420 identified the industries of timber, surface mining, agriculture, and oil and gas field exploration as those which contribute to pavement distress in a significant way. Also, these activities generate vehicles which are often dissimilar to truck traffic in general. This report includes the results of an intensive data gathering effort aimed at site-special trip generation characteristics and vehicular weight characteristics at special-use traffic generators.
