Prediction Method for Freeway Wheelpath Distribution

Abstract:

According to the analysis of distributing characteristics which obtained by the investigation of different types vehicles of many freeways, the law is discovered that distributing characteristics of same types of vehicles are similar on different freeways, using test to certificate that distributions of same types of vehicles are submitted to identical normal distribution, and the rationality of this phenomenon is discussed with statistical point of view. Calculated and predicted method of wheelpath distribution and axle load distribution are established that based on traffic flow. In the end, an example is used to confirm the accuracy of this method by contrasting the survey result and the predicted result.
