Proceedings 7th International Symposium Heavy Vehicle Weights and Dimensions : challenges in the 21st century : June 16 - 20, 2002, Auditorium Technical University, Delft, The Netherlands

The 7th International Symposium Heavy Vehicle Weights& Dimensions is an intercontinental forum for researchers, policy makers and industry leaders in the field of freight transportation by road. The specific goal of this symposium is to bring together the worlds of vehicle technology , vehicle-infrastructure interaction, safety and environmental friendly transport in the 21st century. This publication contains the proceedings of this symposium. Some papers: Effect of surface roughness on truck dynamic loading and pavement damage / K. Chatti, D.
