Statistical analysis of heavy traffic : Study of the actual scope of traffic loads - based on BWIM-measurements (English)
Abstract [en]

This degree project aims to provide the Swedish Traffic Administration with information about the pressure distribution generated by vehicles with gross weights above 3.5 tons. The aim is to provide sufficient information regarding the pressure distribution to facilitate a possible change of today's deterministic design model to a probability based method. To realize the aim, BWIM-measurements carried out by the Swedish Traffic Administration in 2015, 2016 and 2017 have been studied. Measured data showed large variations depending on vehicle type, indicating that the data originates from different statistical populations. For the surveyed years, the data of interest are vehicles loaded to at least 80% of their permitted gross weight and a lognormal distribution has been found to be best representative of the pressure from traffic loads. The studied data also showed that the magnitude of the pressure increases with reduced vehicle length and that shorter vehicles whom are more frequently overloaded, subjects the structure with a pressure magnitude as great as twice the design value of today's 20 kPa. While plotting the pressure distribution, a positive skewness was observed. This indicates that the majority of observed vehicles load within the legal boundaries of their permissible gross weight. The vehicles that generate extreme pressures therefore represent a small fraction of all vehicles. Based on the studied vehicles the characteristic value of the 98\% fractile was calculated to 18,5 kPa. For the theoretical case where overloading was non-existent, this value decreases with 5%

Abstract [sv]

Detta examensarbete syftar till att förse Trafikverket med information om tryckfördelningen genererat av fordon med bruttovikter överstigande 3,5 ton. Syftet är att bidra med tillräcklig information för att underlätta en eventuell förändring av dagens deterministiska dimensioneringsmetod till en sannolikhetsbaserad metod.För realiseringen av frågeställningen har BWIM-mätningar utförda av Trafikverket för åren 2015,2016 och 2017 studerats. Mätdatan har visat sig variera kraftigt beroende på fordonstyp och slutsatsen har därmed dragits att mätdatan härstammar från olika statistiska populationer. För undersökta mätår har fordon lastade till minst 80% av sin tillåtna bruttovikt undersökts och en lognormal fördelning har visat sig mest representativ för trafiklasten. Vidare påvisade mätdatan att storleken på trycket ökar med minskad fordonslängd och överlast av kortare fordon kan utsätta vägkroppen för tryck upp till dubbla storleken av dagens dimensioneringsvärde på 20 kPa. Vid plottning av tryckfördelningen märks en tydlig positiv skevhet vilket påvisar att merparten av fordonen lastar inom ramen för sin tillåtna bruttovikt och att extrema tryck endast utgör en liten procentandel av alla fordon. Baserat på de undersökta fordonen har den karakteristiska lasten för de undersökta åren beräknats till 18,5 kPa och att detta värde sänks med 5% om överlast inte varit ett faktum.
