In this study, the literature related to vehicle-pavement interaction has been reviewed including the materials related to the on-going NCHRP Project 1-25(1). The vehicle characteristics that affect the pavement performance have been summarized such as the inertia of heavy trucks, suspension types, tandem axle spacing, tire types and tire pressure. Models used to analyze vehicles, pavements and vehicle-pavement interaction have been reviewed. The effect of vehicle-pavement interaction on weigh-in-motion data has been briefly discussed. A summary, comments, implications and potential use of recent research have been presented. The interaction between vehicle characteristics and pavement performance is a complex subject which involves the effect of dynamic forces generated by vehicle suspension, vehicle mass, pavement roughness, vehicle speed and tires. A large research effort is still needed to provide better understanding of the relation between vehicle loads and pavement performance in an effort to rationalize the pavement design process.
