Book excerpt: This study was approved by the CDOT's Research Implementation Committee as a high priority research with the goal of improving the accuracy of the existing and forecasted traffic loads of CDOT's highway network. The overall scope of this project involved examination of those resources directly related to the current statewide ESAL classification system and the generation of this final report discussing the research and analysis conducted and recommendation of procedures required for CDOT to develop and implement a more site-specific ESAL classification system. In this study Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) analyzed all available CDOT permanent and portable weigh-in-motion (WIM) data.
