Overweight (OW) vehicles are known to have a direct impact on the deterioration of the infrastructure systems (Nassif et al., 2015), negatively impacting the service life of bridges. The serviceability and longevity of a bridge are controlled by the service limit states (SLSs). The SLSs for the HL-93 design vehicles have been calibrated in NCHRP 12-83 project (Wassef et al., 2014). However, for the permit vehicles which are increasing in frequency and weight magnitude, the SLSs have not been calibrated through similar procedures. Since bridges need to carry the permit vehicles, it is necessary to assess the safety levels for the current permit vehicles and their corresponding live load factors.Weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensors measure the truck...
