If the subgrade classification differ between these branches, determination of the allowable weight may include up to 4 interpolation calculations, which is neither practical for airline operators nor for airport administrators. This paper outlines a methodology for establishing homogenized PCN values to be reported for branches of an airport, based on PCN values for single points, determined from Super Heavy Weight Deflectometer (SuperHWD) testing and shows how it can be incorporated into GIS-based airport pavement management systems
