“…The additional inches of surface layer needed to return the segment to an expected 20-year life cycle were derived from the difference between the new and old structural numbers. For details on this procedure, see Purnell, Yoder, and Sinha (1978). The projected ESAL demand included both agricultural and non-agricultural traffic.…”

“…The study benefits significantly from previous work that has focused on the prediction of agricultural traffic flows and the impacts of heavy trucks on rural roads. Purnell, Yoder, and Sinha (1978) developed a methodology for analyzing the effects of increased traffic on rural highways from rail-line abandonment using pavement/traffic equations developed by the Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Tolliver (1989) integrated spatial interaction and pavements models to predict grain flows within a system of elevators and to quantify the impacts of large subterminals on rural highways.…”

Investments in local roads in North Dakota to support agricultural logistics are estimated with a detailed model that predicts flows from 1,406 crop-producing zones to 317 elevators and plants, and forecasts improvements and maintenance costs for paved and unpaved roads. The study finds that (1) the average farm-to-market trip distance has increased from 12 miles in 1980 to 26 miles in 2009, (2) the estimated resurfacing cost per mile for agricultural distribution routes is 40% greater than for non-agricultural routes, and (3) the estimated cost to maintain acceptable service levels on county and local roads is roughly double historical funding levels.
