The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Road Transport Research Programme launched a major 2-year study into the relationship between heavy vehicle dynamic loading and pavement and bridge wear, known as the Dynamic Interaction of the Vehicle and INfrastructure Experiment (DIVINE) project. The project consisted of six interrelated research projects. This report describes Element 1 of the program, which consists of the design of the experiment, testing method, method of data collection, results of the data analysis, and major findings and recommendations.

Weigh-in-motion (WIM) is a process of measuring the dynamic tire forces of a moving vehicle and estimating the corresponding tire loads of the static vehicle. This collection of lectures from the International Conference on Weigh-in-Motion details applications such as: collection of statistical traffic data, support of commercial vehicle enforcement, roadway and bridge cost allocation, and traffic management.
