Abstract

The research was conducted to investigate the characteristics of lateral wheel path distributions (wandering) in different traffic lanes. The Wandering may affect pavement life and various distress types. To achieve results presented that the normal distribution curve with symmetry was observed in the 3-lane roads. In the case of the 3-lane road (on one direction), 50-60cm, 65-85cm, and 80-95cm for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lanes, respectively. In addition, the 1st lane vehicles tended to pass on the right side to avoid th opposite side vehicles, while the outside lane vehicles tended to pass on the left side to avoid the walkway.
