Abstract
On the basis of surveys to be carried out on various road cross-sections, the transverse distribution of heavy goods vehicles within the traffic lane will be investigated and analyzed. Taking into account the main influencing factors, the distributions will be classified and their effect on the dimensioning of the road pavement will be investigated. As a result of the research project, the corresponding characteristic values will be updated for the standardized dimensioning and new classified input variables for the transverse distribution will be provided for the computational dimensioning. All investigations and the provision of results will be carried out separately for the asphalt and concrete construction methods.
