New vehicle load model improves traffic safety and road engineering efficiency.
The article presents a new model for analyzing the axle load of vehicles, which helps in understanding the impact of mechanics and traffic characteristics. By studying the axle load of lorries, the researchers found that the distribution of axle loads follows a pattern similar to Gauss' Distribution. This model considers factors like axle structure and vehicle loading, helping to avoid errors in load calculations and making traffic analysis and road estimation easier.
