Autonomous prediction of performance-based standards for heavy vehicles

Author: Berman, R ; Benade, R ; Rosman, Benjamin S Date: Nov 2015 In most countries throughout the world, heavy vehicle use on public roads are governed by prescriptive rules, typically by imposing stringent mass and dimension limits in an attempt to control vehicle safety. A recent alternative framework ... Read more
Comparing dynamic road wear of a performance-based standards and baseline vehicle

Author: Steenkamp, Anton J ; De Saxe, CC ; Kienhöfer, F ; Kemp, Lana Date: Jul 2021 The paved road network is a critical asset to any country and its economy. South Africa's paved road network has an estimated value in excess of R2 trillion. This asset is threatened by a backlog in maintenance of more than R416.6 billion, ... Read more
The development and evaluation of a performance-based standards approach for regulating the use of heavy vehicles in South Africa

Author: Nordengen, Paul A Date: Dec 2013 The aim of this research was to apply, refine and demonstrate an alternative approach to the design and operation of heavy vehicles in South Africa with improved outcomes in terms of road transport productivity, vehicle safety performance, ... Read more
GeoTrack: An efficient simulation tool for the analysis of heavy vehicle manoeuvrability

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C ; Berman, Robert J Date: Jul 2018 The road space utilised by a heavy goods vehicle during low-speed manoeuvring has direct safety and operational implications. This is especially true for vehicles which are longer/wider than usual, such as abnormal loads vehicles. The same ... Read more
HVTT15: FALCON III: Defining a performance-based standards framework for high capacity vehicles in Europe

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C ; Kural, K ; Kharrazi, S ; Schmidt, F ; Van Geem, C ; Berman, R ; Woodrooffe, J ; Cebon, D Date: Oct 2018 The FALCON project (“Freight and Logistics in a Multimodal Context”) is a collaborative effort funded by the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR), and has set out to address ambitious carbon emission reduction targets set by the ...

Hyperformance: Advanced PBS Performance Prediction

Author: Berman, Robert J ; Rosman, Benjamin S ; Van Niekerk, B ; Nordengen, Paul A Date: Oct 2018 The ever increasing global freight task brings with it a number of challenges for road freight transportation. The combination of high-capacity vehicles and Performance-based Standards (PBS) is proving to be a viable and sustainable option ... Read more
Hyperformance: predicting high-speed performance of a b-double

Author: Berman, Robert J ; Benade, R ; Rosman, Benjamin S ; Nordengen, Paul A Date: Nov 2016 This paper presents a data driven approach to develop a prediction model for the PBS performance of heavy vehicles. A gap exists between trailer manufacturers who create PBS vehicle designs and the PBS assessors who evaluate the performance ... Read more
Initiative to introduce a performance-based standards (PBS) approach for heavy vehicle design and operations in South Africa

Author: Nordengen, Paul A ; Prem, H ; Mai, L Date: May 2008 The introduction of PBS for heavy vehicles in South Africa was first identified in the National Overload Control Strategy as a potential concession of a proposed Self-regulation initiative. In August 2004 a PBS committee was established to ... Read more
Maximum of difference assessment of typical semitrailers: a global study

Author: Kienhofer, F ; Berman, Robert J ; Deiss, J ; Nordengen, Paul A Date: Nov 2016 Tractor semitrailer car-carrier designs operating in South Africa are required to demonstrate Level 1 compliance as legislated by the Australian PBS in order to be granted productivity concessions. A stumbling block in demonstrating compliance ... Read more
A methodology for assessment of road structures for the PBS pilot project in South Africa

Author: Nordengen, Paul A ; Steenkamp, Anton J Date: Nov 2016 This paper describes the methodology that is being used for the performance assessment of PBS vehicles in terms of road structures as part of the PBS pilot project in South Africa. The assessment approach has evolved from the standard “bridge ... Read more
An overview of the performance-based standards pilot project in South Africa

Author: Nordengen, Paul A ; Berman, Robert J ; De Saxe, Christopher C ; Diess, J Date: Oct 2018 The Performance-Based Standards or “Smart Truck” pilot project is a national research initiative that is trialling the introduction of high productivity road freight transport in South Africa. This initiative is being led by stakeholders from ... Read more
Performance-based standards for South African car-carriers

Author: De Saxe, C Date: Dec 2012 Until recently, car-carriers in South Africa operated under abnormal load permits allowing a finite relaxation of legal height and length limits. This practice is being phased out, and exemption will only be granted if a car-carrier complies ... Read more
A performance-based standards regime to regulate car-carriers in South Africa

Author: De Saxe, CC ; Nordengen, Paul A ; Kienhofer, FW Date: Jul 2013 Until recently, South African car-carriers operated under the abnormal load permit system allowing an additional 300 mm height and 500 mm length. Because car-carrier payloads are divisible and abnormal load permits are usually granted for ... Read more
Vehicle safety performance improvements using a performance-based standards approach: four case studies

Author: Nordengen, Paul A ; Kienhöfer, F ; De Saxe, C Date: 2014 As part of a performance-based standards (PBS) research programme for heavy vehicles in South Africa, a need was identified to design, manufacture and operate a number of PBS or Smart Truck demonstration vehicles. The purpose of the demonstration ... Read more
