CalME (Flexible Pavement Design & Structural Analysis)
CalME: Caltrans Mechanistic-Empirical Structural Analysis Program for Flexible Pavements, v3.0 is a web-based tool for analyzing pavement structural sections using the Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) methodology. This is the official structural analysis program used by Caltrans for flexible pavements. It is used for new construction and rehabilitation, including overlays.

Pavement ME Design Traffic Input
Pavement ME Design Traffic Input (v1.0.0) generates traffic information (axle load distribution for single, tandem, and triple axles) and other inputs (vehicle class distribution, hourly distribution, axles per vehicle class, and annual average daily truck volume) for a project-specific location on the California highway network system, based on the Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) axle load spectra analysis results. The traffic files generated by this tool can be used directly as input for AASHTOWare's Pavement ME Design software. This software is a Microsoft desktop application (32-bit). The installation requires system administrator permission. The download file is a Setup .msi file.
