In order to protect the investments made in highway pavements and bridge infrastructure, the Indiana Department of Transportation regulates trucking operations using legislation and federal-recommended policies. Under certain circumstances, special permits are granted to truck operators to allow excess over the specified operational weight restrictions. As the steward of the public highway infrastructure in Indiana, INDOT has a special duty to ensure that operating policies are not unduly restrictive as to discourage economic development but also realistic enough to prevent premature and accelerated highway deterioration. With the changing patterns of commercial vehicle movements over the years, there is a need to continually review the costs and revenues associated with overweight trucks, in terms of their pavement and bridge damage costs and permit fees. This study addressed the vital issue of pavement and bridge damage cost estimation and analyzed these costs in terms of the adequacy of permit revenues for highway pavements and bridges.
