ESAL Calculator

This tool provides the ability to calculate the W18 (ESALs over design period) value used in the pavement design tool. Take th
Traffic classification may vary by site. In that case,

Disclaimer:
The CT DOT is not responsible for errors in calculation in this ESAL calculation tool.

General Inputs:

1. Two-way Average Daily Traffic for the segment being considered.

2. Lane distribution varies by number of lanes. It is a percentage of the traffic that will be carried in the design lane.
Note: 50% directional distribution is being assumed for all cases
Values lower than 100 may be used (use the AASHTO Design Guide, 1993 for reference if varying from the 100%

Typical ranges:
Six-lane facilities: 70-90
Four-lane facilities: 90-100

3. Classification of traffic by vehicle class:

The sum of these percentages must add up to 100%. These cells are in blue.

4. ESAL factors:
Generally speaking these values should not be changed.
They should only be changed with data obtained and calculated following the guidance provided in the AASHTO

5. Growth rates and factors

The growth rate of traffic over the design period, in percentage. This value will not

III. Vehicle Classification, Road Functional Class

The road functional class should be used to select the correct tab at the bottom of this spreadsheet.

Vehicle Classification:

The light blue cells are used to assign percentages of the Average Daily Traffic by vehicle class (FHWA distribution).
Please check that these add to 100%. The "Sum of all types" value will be highlighted in red if the values do not add up to 100%.
If you do not have this information, you may use the default values already provided in the spreadsheet.
If you have more information or need to change these values based on what you know, the easiest way is to look at the column to the ri
It lists how many vehicles of each type are going in each direction per day. For instance, if 30 buses are going (15 each way), you may ad
Note that the most important vehicle classes for pavement design are the trucks (higher ESAL factors) and buses.
At the end the %s have to add up to 100%, so changes in classification in one row have to be compensated for in another.

For vehicle type descriptions that are unclear, please see the link below - it has a picture by each vehicle class.

ESAL factors should not be varied greatly unless you have more specific information and are following the procedures in the AASHTO 1993
