Weight in motion (WIM) is the element of modern intelligent transport systems created to control commercial vehicles and to detect overloaded items. Because all of the vehicles crossing the WIM station are weighed and recognized, given data can be used to vehicle-pavement interaction analysis. The paper presents the results of analysis based on data from seven WIM stations localized in Motorway and National Roads in Poland. The effects of different vehicles types, axles configuration and loads distribution are described in the article. Overload vehicles impact is presented too. Other factors like dynamic reraction, road construction, tire pressure etc. are included in the analysis, but not described in detail in the article due to limited space. Traffic assessment is a very important part of pavement design so practical conclusions are given.
