Efficient calculation of equivalent single axle load (ESAL) for road design

Naue has expanded its digital solutions with the launch of the Naue AxleLoad converter within the Naue Portal. This road design support tool is specifically developed for engineers and planners working on the design and construction of roads, including both paved and unpaved roads.

The Naue AxleLoad converter offers an easy and accurate calculation of equivalent single axle loads (ESALs), helping to determine the load per axle on roads effectively. The tool takes into account not only the effect of wheel wandering and typical vehicle characteristics, it also complies with European Commission guidelines, providing a solid basis for sustainable and long-lasting road infrastructure.

Key benefits of the Naue AxleLoad include:

  • Conversion into equivalent axle load passes: Precise conversion of different vehicle and axle loads into Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESALs) for allow enhanced efficiency and precision in planning.

  • Effect of wheel wandering: Simulation of a more realistic distribution of vehicle loads across the road surface.

  • Flexibility for different road types: Suitable for both paved and unpaved roads.

  • EU guidelines compliance: Fully compliant with European Commission regulations, ensuring adherence to international standards.
