Impact of Freight on Highway Infrastructure in New Jersey

This study addressed the impact of overweight trucks on the infrastructure systems in New Jersey. This study developed a unified database with all available data regarding pavement, bridge, and weigh-inmotion (WIM). The team proposed and the pavement and bridge deterioration models to evaluate the effect of overweight trucks on the service life of pavement and bridge structures. Furthermore, the RIME Team conducted a life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) to analyze the associated cost due to the movement of freight on the highway network. Based on the results obtained from the developed models and various data, the team established a decision-making tool incorporating future traffic growth, service life prediction models, and impact of changes in truck regulations and policy.
