Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) operations have been performed by the CSIR for the past 25 years. During this period, experience has been gained with regards to the collection and storage of pavement behaviour data from accelerated pavement testing. Current norms relating to quality management of processes and products necessitate the consolidation of these processes into a protocol for future HVS projects. This document deals with three key aspects of HVS operations:
Staffing of HVS operations
Site location and establishment
Data collection
Data processing, analysis and storage
