Thanks for the correction I thought the scaling was squared, but you are right ! It is polynomial to the order of 4. It is 16X ! the road wear. That is very significant, given that base numbers for a heavy truck run 24x7 already quite high. sources: [1] https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-much-damage-do-heavy-trucks-do-our-roads https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-much-damage-do-heavy-...
