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.
