.... The research upon which this simple method is based began with a study of traffic data, resulting in the development of a general model of traffic actions using probability distributions to represent the natural randomness of vehicle loads and geometry as well as distances between vehicles [Bailey 1994]. This general traffic model was subsequently adopted in simulations of the static effect of traffic actions using a computer program which was developed for the study. Moment and shear effects of different types of traffic (e.g. different composition and weight probability distributions) were ....

....described in this paper has therefore been carried out with the aid of a numerical simulation program in which random traffic loads were generated for defined traffic types and effects calculated for different structures. A description of this program and the modeling of traffic loads is given in [Bailey et al., 1993 and 1994]. Traffic load simulations have shown that a type III extreme value distribution provides the best probabilistic model for maximum traffic load effects. This type of distribution results when maximum values are sampled from a frequency distribution having a finite upper bound which is approached ....
