The TrafLoad software is designed to produce traffic data for input to the 2002 AASHTO pavement design software. TrafLoad is based on a new mechanistic-empirical approach to pavement design, it relies on axle load spectra rather than equivalent single axle loads. For each of four axle types, the load spectra specify the percentages of axles falling into each of several load ranges.Help on Burning an .ISO CD-ROM ImageDownload the TrafLoad .ISO CD-ROM ImageTrafLoad User\u2019s ManualTrafLoad Procedures Manual", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/13781/traffic-data-collection-analysis-and-forecasting-for-mechanistic-pavement-design", year = 2004, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
