Appendix A
Regional Economic Benefits from Harmonization of Axle Load Regulations in the East African Community
This appendix quantifies the economic benefits due to regional harmonization of axle load regulations in the East African Community (EAC), specifically focusing on transport fixed cost savings accruing from decreases in weighbridge crossing times. The regional truck transport cost for a 40-foot freight container vehicle (at an average of 26 tons of freight per container) can be summarized as follows: Total Transport Costs = (Variable Cost x Travel Km) + (Fixed Cost x Travel Days) Variable costs include costs for fuel, lubricants, tires, and other incidentals. Fixed costs consist of salary and equipment costs related to the operation of the vehicle. Table A-1 summarizes the variable costs (in USD/km) and fixed costs (USD/day) for the various corridors in the four regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.

The fixed and variable costs for East Africa Region (with respect to the Northern Corridor originating from Mombasa Port) can be attributed to the transport kilometers and transport days summarized in Table A-2.
It is assumed that the term heavy truck in the AICD report and the 40-foot container (26 tons) vehicle are the same.

As Table A-3 is based on information derived from publications and traffic surveys from 2008, the weighted average inflation rate for the five EAC countries shown in Figure A-1 was applied to establish the current fixed and variable costs.
2 The total land transport time is defined as the sum of driving time, border crossing time, and the time spent at weighbridge stations. An hour-to-day conversion was undertaken, assuming truck operations of 12 hours a day.

As Table A-3 suggests, regional harmonization of axle load regulations in the East African Community would directly lower the fixed costs of truck transport by specifically decreasing the land transport time attributed to weighbridge crossing time. As summarized in Table A-5, for the case of the route from Mombasa to Kampala, the fixed cost attributed to weighbridge crossing time is USD 66 per trip, and constitutes approximately 18.6% of total fixed costs for land transport (omitting Port/IDC dwell time). By harmonization of axle load regulation in the EAC, this cost of weighbridge crossing could be substantially thereby generating economic benefits due to lower regional transport costs, which will facilitate regional trade.

This value is also in the same range as the fixed costs derived from the JICA Cross-Border Transport Infrastructure Phase 3 Report (2008), in which the total fixed costs for forward land transport of a 40-foot container from Mombasa Port to Kamala is 400 USD for a 60 hours of transport time, which roughly equates to USD 6.7/hour/40-foot container.

Tables A-6 and A-7 show that the total annual volume of goods transported by road transport along the Northern and Central Corridors are 20.3 million tons and 7.1 million tons, respectively. These values roughly equate to 780,770 trips [assuming that one trip equals one 40-foot (26-ton) container traveling from Mombasa to Kigali 4] along the Northern Corridor road per year, and 273,080 trips along the Central Corridor [assuming that one trip equals one 40-foot (26 ton) container travelling from Dar es Salaam to Kampala]. Within the EAC, weighbridges have been used mainly along the Northern and Central Corridors, thus economic benefits from harmonization of axle load regulations is speculated to affect traffic along the Northern and Central Corridors specifically.

Assuming that the Central Corridor will experience the same USD/time rate of savings as the Northern Corridor, the cost savings from weighbridge time savings would be as shown in Table A-8. A 10-minute decrease in weighbridge crossing time amounts to USD 1 cost saving per trip with an annual economic benefit calculated to USD 1 million within the EAC. 5 Furthermore, a one-hour reduction in weighbridge crossing time amounts to USD 6 cost saving per trip with an annual economic benefit calculated to be USD 6.2 million within the EAC.

Table A-9 shows that small physical improvements (e.g., computerization, increased versatile portable weighing machines, an increased number of lanes) at weighbridges result in time savings ranging from 10 minutes to a few hours. Axle load harmonization within the EAC (and in the future with SADC and COMESA) would most likely contribute to more than a 10-minute decrease in weighbridge crossing time. This finding suggests that economic benefits resulting from transport savings from decreased weighbridge crossing times will be of the order of a few million USD annually, furthermore leading to greater implications in terms of regional trade facilitation.

Appendix B
In Section 4.4 the methodology adopted in this study for estimating maintenance cost with or without overloading was described. It was based on the distribution of axle loads actually measured at a limited number of points in the road network are limited. Although overloading is said to be rampant in the region, and while actual records do show some overloading, the majority of loads are under the limit. Generally, there are fewer violations on roads with high traffic volumes and more violations on roads with low traffic volumes. Two traffic types were taken as axle load distribution patterns: Type T with high traffic volumes and low violation rates and Type U with low traffic volumes and high violation rates. Table 4-25 shows the results of HDM-4 model runs. For Type T the ratio of maintenance cost with and without overloading turned out to be 1.21, i.e., maintenance cost for the without case was 82.6% of the case with overloading. Similarly, for Type U the without overloading case resulted in a maintenance cost 89.3% of that in the with-overloading case. The third type, a medium-traffic type, was defined as the average of the two, which gives a maintenance cost without overloading of 86.2% of the case with overloading. As explained in Section 4.4, the case of without overloading was defined assuming that all cargo on the overloaded vehicles would be transferred to vehicles at the maximum axle load limit, i.e., ideal loading. The number of vehicles thus would be larger than in the overloading case since the total amount of cargo must be divided into smaller individual payloads. Road networks of each Partner State were divided into three types: high, medium, and low traffic carrying sections. Table B-1 shows the distribution of road lengths that fall into the three types by country. Applying the above-mentioned reduction factors by traffic type to the distribution of traffic type for each country, overall cost reduction factors for each country were obtained as shown in the table. Table B-1: Average Maintenance Cost Reduction Factor by Country Due to No Overloading
Country Burundi Kenya Rwanda Tanzania Uganda High Traffic % 25 6 31 1 0 Medium Traffic % 38 31 31 9 10 Low Traffic % 67 63 38 90 90 Average Cost Reduction Factor 0.865 0.879 0.862 0.889 0.890
The HDM-4 model was run for each country with overloading to yield the maintenance cost for each country with existing, i.e., overloading conditions. The model was run for 20 years starting from the existing conditions and assuming 3% annual traffic growth. The model determines necessary maintenance activities to achieve a given road condition level (in this case an IRI of 4.0) and calculates maintenance cost. Maintenance cost under the ideal condition, i.e., without overloading, can be obtained by applying the cost reduction factor shown above to the maintenance cost for each country. Table B-2 shows the results.

Estimated Maintenance Cost for 20112030 20.38 1,511.33 100.68 1,268.54 1,306.23 4,207.15
Estimated Maintenance Cost without Overloading (Ideal Loading) 17.62 1,328.66 86.38 1,128.23 1,162.20 3,723.55
In 20 years the elimination of overloading would save USD 484 million for the EAC region, or USD 24 million per year. As Table A-3 was based on information derived from publications and traffic surveys from 2008, the weighted average inflation rate for the five EAC countries shown in Figure A-1 was applied to establish the current fixed and variable costs.

The following chart presents a summary of loading per Overload Total Share axle by vehicle type. For example, examining the axle GVM 801 2261 35% loading of 2-axle vehicles, it was found that 63% of 1 axle 128 2261 6% vehicles exceeded its rear axle weight limits (10 tons), 2 axle 1428 2261 63% but only 6% of the front axles exceeded the limit (8 tons), and 35% of vehicles violated the GVM regulation. This suggests that 30% of overloaded freight is caused by overloading of the rear axle, and damage to pavement by overloading can be alleviated by improving the loading distribution.

Overloading is higher in Masaka. Major overloading items at Masaka are fuel, cement, beer, matoke, and coffee. The rate of overloading exceeds 50% for several goods types, e.g., coffee, cassava, bitumen, and salt. For Mbaraba, the major overloaded goods are fuel and construction materials (e.g., cement, limestone). Also, the rate of overloading is high among transporters of construction materials.

Using the input data of the HDM Model for the Funding Needs Estimation described in Section 4.3 and Appendix D.1, the sum of ESALs per day at each section and the length of each section (km) of the model road network in this HDM analysis was calculated, which was converted to average ESALs per day for the model road network. Then, assuming 3% annual traffic growth, average ESALs over the 20-year analysis period for each model road network were estimated. The level of responsibility of a vehicle axle for road maintenance cost per ESAL per km was estimated from the road maintenance cost for the analysis period per km calculated in Section 4.3 and the average ESAL for that period. The data used for this calculation and calculation results are shown below.

For both Types T (low rate of overloading) and UB (high rate overloading), overloaded axles were extracted from the axles of all vehicles weighed at sample weighbridge stations, and the sum of the overloaded proportion of ESALs of those overloaded axles (i.e., the sum of the difference between the ESALs of overloaded axles and ESALs at the axle load limits) by number of axles by vehicle type were calculated. Then, adapting the sum of the overloaded proportion of ESALs to the number of vehicles weighed, the sum of the overloaded proportion of ESALs per day under the assumptions of with/without HDM-4 analysis, described in Section 4.4 and Appendix D.2, was estimated. Converting the total overloaded proportion of ESALs per day to a 20-year period with 3% annual traffic growth, the overloaded proportion of ESALs of the target section of 124 km in the analysis period was calculated. Finally, the level of responsibility of an overloaded axle for road maintenance cost per overloaded proportion of ESAL per km was estimated from the difference of the road maintenance cost between the with and without cases, and the total overloaded proportion of ESALs of overloaded axles described above. The data used for this calculation and calculation results for both Types T and UB are as follows. F.2.1 Type T

Appendix I
Historical Course of Events Leading to SADC Axle Load Limits and the Bridge Formula
Generally axle mass limits in Africa are low in relation to international practice, while gross vehicle/combination mass limits are higher. The historical development of these limits is set out in this appendix. (1) Origins of Single, Tandem, and Tridem Axle Mass Limits
For many years in South Africa, the single axle mass limit for an axle with dual tires was set at 8.2 tons, 1 while limit for a tandem axle unit was set at 16.4 tons (i.e., 8.2 tons 2). Also, historically (i.e., prior to the introduction of a bridge formula in South Africa in the early 1970s), the tridem axle unit was 24.6 tons (i.e., 8.2 tons 3). With the application of the bridge formula, the axle load limit for the tridem axle unit with an extreme axle spacing of 2.72 m was set at 20.9 tons. 2 Early international studies showed that an axle with air suspension caused 15% less road wear than an axle with a steel suspension, presupposing (of course) that the shock absorbers in the air suspension were working efficiently. Furthermore, on average, under dynamic conditions, single axle loadings varied by plus or minus 25% of the static load, while axles in tandem axle units varied by 15%. Axles in tridem axle units generally caused less road deterioration than axles in tandem axle units. In fact, it was shown that axles in a well-designed tridem axle unit caused less road wear than single axles. 3 A number of significant studies, working group reports, and symposia relating to axle mass limits were undertaken in Africa and globally between 1986 and 1993 as summarized below: C.R. Freeme, Simplification of Regulations, June 4 1986 High tire pressures (around 1,000 kilopascals) can reduce pavement life by 60%70%. Canadian Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Study, 1986 Recommendations were limits of 10 tons for single, 17 tons for tandem, and 24 tons for tridem axle units. Council of Ministers, Canada, 1988 Noted the following existing regulations: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) steering 5.5 tons (long nose); single with duals, 9.1 tons; tandem with duals, 17.0 tons (1.21.85 m spacing); and tridem with duals, 21.0 tons (2.43.0 m) spacing, 23.0 tons (3.03.6m), and 24.0 tons (3.63.7m).
The limit for the rear axle of a bus was set higher at 10.2 tons, perhaps because the government owned railway buses. 2 However, in many parts of South Africa, the bridge formula was not applied and a load limit of 24.6 tons was applied for the tridem axle unit. 3 NITRR Technical Note TP/39/86, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), 1986. 4 Months cited where available.

South African Technical Working Group, May 1991 The recommendations from this Working Group were to: (i) increase the articulated vehicle length from 17.0 to 18.5 m, for increased efficiency without causing any real detriment; and (ii) increase the vehicle combination length from 20 m to 22 m, for increased efficiency without causing any real detriment. Van Wyk & Louw Inc., Consequences in the Increases of Legal Axle Loads, September 1991 Recommendations from this study were as follows: (i) There was economic justification to increase the legal load limits. (ii) Although limits of 10.2 tons (single), 20.4 tons (tandem), and 24 tons (tridem) offered the highest benefit/cost ratios, load limits of 10 tons, 18 tons, and 21 tons, respectively, were recommended. South African Department of Transport Working Group on Dimensions and Loads, February 1992 The road transport industry recommended load limits of 10 tons (single), 18 tons (tandem), 24 tons (tridem), and 56 tons (gross vehicle/combination mass), as it could be shown that there would be a financial net benefit to the country if mass limits were increased. A regulation was drafted that would increase axle mass limits on the condition that overloading was being reduced and additional funds were being appropriated for increased road maintenance. The increases agreed were 9, 18 and 21 tons, respectively. The Working Group agreed that these limits would be reviewed with long-term application the ultimate goal. Third International Symposium on Heavy Vehicle Weights, United Kingdom, August 1992 Most delegates at this symposium spoke of 24 tons as the optimum for a tridem axle unit, irrespective of other axle limitations. The United Kingdom was undertaking a bridge strengthening program to allow for a 24-ton tridem. Carl Bro International, Axle Load Study for Southern Africa, May 1993 The objective was to harmonize load limits in Southern Africa. The main outcome was an estimated optimum mass limit for the single axle with dual tires of 13 tons; however, allowing a safety margin, 12 tons was recommended. Since the Highway Design and Maintenance Standards Model (HDM-III) assumed that 15.1 tons on a tandem axle was equivalent to 2 equivalent standard axles (ESAs) 5 for road wear, 24/15.1 for a tandem axle unit was found to be roughly equal to 13/8.16 for a single axle. Hence, 24 tons was estimated as the correct loading for a tandem axle unit. The optimum single, tandem, and tridem limits varied from 12, 17, and 24 tons, to 12, 22, and 33 tons. The consultants recommended a compromise between the two, presumably 12, 19.5, and 28.5 tons, although no figures were given. (2) Origins of the Bridge Formula
The origins of the bridge formula may be traced from the 1970s to the 1990s, as below. It is on this basis that SADC has been guiding the region forward, as also described at the end of this subsection.
5 An ESA refers to the number of standard axle loads that are equivalent in damaging effect on a pavement to a given vehicle or axle loading.

Appendix I Historical Course of Events Leading to SADC Axle Load Limits and the Bridge Formula
Origin of the 1.8 L + 16,000 Bridge Formula, 197071 In 197071 the South African Department of Transport formed a committee chaired by E.B. Cloete to update existing load regulations to protect the nations bridges. While the committee found that South Africa needed to follow act to protect its bridges as did overseas countries, the committee also found that the overseas systems were very complex. For example, the United States formula was W = 500 (L N/(N 1) + 12N + 36), where L was the spacing in feet, N being the number of axles, and W the weight in pounds. Therefore, a simpler formula was required and N.O. Marriott of the Cape Provincial Administration and a member of the committee came up with a solution. He placed two reference points on a graph of allowable mass (y axis) against distance between axles (x axis). A tandem axle unit was allowed to be loaded to 16 tons and so he placed the first reference point at zero distance and 16 tons. At the other end of the scale, a 20 m long vehicle combination should be allowed a gross combination mass (GCM) of 50 tons. Since the extreme axle spacing for a 20 m vehicle combination was about 18.5 m, he placed the reference point at 18.5 m extreme axle spacing, with a GCM of 50 tons. A straight line was drawn between the two reference points and this line was defined by the equation 1.8 L + 16. This formula was subsequently introduced into South Africas regulations as the bridge formula. Figure I-1 illustrates this derivation of the South African bridge formula graphically.

Included was a B-double or B-Train double (equivalent to the interlink), with a GCM limit of 62.5 tons. The minimum extreme axle spacing was set at 18.75 m. Applying the 1.8 L + 16 bridge formula, the 18.75 m extreme axle spacing

The study found that [a]mong the B-doubles [i.e., interlinks], the eight-axle variety, with tridem centre-group, offers the greatest productivity advantages while suffering no significant loss in dynamic performance relative to the five-axle truck tractor semi-trailer. Recognizing the safety benefits of the reduced exposure which accompanies increased payload capacity plus high performance, yet simplicity, of this vehicle combination, the eight-axle Bdoubles (interlink) is looked upon as the closest to ideal configuration of the overall group of vehicles.

gives a GCM limit of 49.75 tons. Using the 2.1 L + 18 bridge formula proposed for East and Southern Africa, the 18.75 m extreme axle spacing gives a GCM limit of 57.4 tons, less than the Canadian limit of 62.5 tons. South African Technical Working Group. May 1991 The recommendations from this Working Group were to (i) increase the articulated vehicle length from 17.0 to 18.5 m, for increased efficiency without any detriment; and (ii) increase the vehicle combination length from 20 m to 22 m, for increased efficiency and again with no detriment. The increased length of a vehicle combination meant an increase in the GCM to around 52 tons. Peter Buckland, North American and British Long-Span Bridge Mass, Journal of Structural Engineering, October 1991 7 Buckland showed that the British Standard BS5400 1978 (to which many of the bridges in East and Southern Africa were designed) allowed higher loadings than the American AASHTO 1983 and the Canadian CAN/CSA-S6-88 1988 standards. Yet, as indicated above, the Canadians allowed their B-Double a higher bridge loading than what is being proposed for East and Southern Africa even though there bridges were designed for a lesser loading. For a tandem axle unit in South Africa, using the original bridge formula of 1.8L + 16 and an axle spacing of 1.36 m, the mass limit would be 18.5 tons, which is in excess of the original 16 tons and the proposed 18 tons. However, the 1.8L + 16 bridge formula limited the tridem axle unit (spacing 2.72 m) to 20.9 tons. Retaining this formula meant that the transporters and trailer manufactures would spread the tridem axle unit out to over 4 m to achieve the 24-ton mass limit (i.e., the sum of 3 8 ton axles). Such a wide-spaced axle unit would be legal (as it was not considered an axle unit), but it would not be desirable because: (i) it would create considerable scuffing unless expensive and complex steering axles were included; and (ii) it would be very difficult to retain equal massing on the three axles. This was one justification to upgrade the original bridge formula. Technical Methods for Highways (TMH) 7 Code of Practice, 1981, assumes a constant limiting value of 3.6 tons per m (36 kN/m). 8 As shown in Figure I-2 below, with an extreme axle spacing of around 9.5 m, the original bridge formula gave higher mass limits, while the gross vehicle mass/gross combination mass was controlled by the sum of the axle mass limits. Above an extreme axle spacing of around 9.5 m, and for the heavy vehicle combinations, the original bridge formula reduced the bridge loading below that of TMH7.

Figure I-2: Comparison of TMH 7 and the Original Bridge Formula It can be shown that a line of jam-packed 4 2 trucks results in a bridge loading of around 4.2 tons per m while a line of jam-packed 6 4 trucks results in a bridge loading of around 3.6 tons per m. However, this does not consider the practical situation where: (i) other vehicle types of vehicles are interspersed, (ii) vehicles are partly laden or empty, and (iii) there is a reasonable distance between moving vehicles. It can be seen from Figure I-2 above that a 7-axle vehicle combination (truck and trailer, or interlink) of 20 m length is controlled by the bridge formula and therefore causes considerably less wear to the roads than does smaller heavy vehicles. Van Wyk & Louw Inc, Consequences of Increases in the Legal Axle Mass Limits, September 1991 Three studies were carried out as inputs to this document. Study 1 showed that increased axle masses would give net gains to South Africa, but that no increases should be given until additional maintenance funds were made available. Study 2 recommended the bridge formula 2L + 15 and limits of 10.2 tons for a single axle, 20.4 tons for a tandem axle unit, and 24 tons for a tridem axle unit. Study 3 recommended limits of 10 tons for a single axle and 18.5 tons for a tandem axle unit. (A limit of 11 tons could be considered for a single air-suspended axle.) South African Department of Transport Working Group on Dimensions and Loads, February 1992 This Working Group was set up after the conclusion of the previous studies outlined above. Existing mass limits were 8.2 tons (single), 16.4 tons (tandem), and 21 tons (tridem). The summation of axles in a 7-axle vehicle combination resulted in a GCM of: 6.5 + (6 8.2) = 55.7 tons. The existing bridge formula of 1.8 L + 16 did not allow a 20 m vehicle combination to realize its full potential. Using the extreme axle spacing of 18.5 m, the bridge formula gave a GCM limit of 1.8 18.5 + 16 = 49.3 tons. Although there was no upper GCM limit set in the regulations, the bridge formula effectively determined this limit to be 49.3 tons. The Working Group agreed on an interim bridge formula of 2.1 L + 15 tons, which would give 53.9 tons for a 20 m vehicle combination, and the Minister endorsed this recommendation. There was to be an immediate overloading monitoring program and a bridge strengthening program. Also, extra budgets were to be made available for road maintenance.

Appendix I Historical Course of Events Leading to SADC Axle Load Limits and the Bridge Formula
Van Niekerk Kleyn & Edwards, Van Wyk & Louw, The Effect of an Increase in Loads, March 1993 This study showed that the theoretical strengths of bridges were less than the forecast traffic loads that would result from the proposed increase in mass limits. However, field tests showed that the actual stiffness of the bridges exceeded the theoretical stiffness. Carl Bro International, Axle Mass Study for Southern Africa, May 1993 The objective of this study was to harmonize mass limits in Southern Africa. Dimensions had been previously agreed at 12.5 m for a rigid vehicle, 17 m for an articulated vehicle, and 22 m for a vehicle combination. The HDM-III model was used in the calculations. The study recommended a 63-ton GCM limit, although consideration had to be given to the strength of bridges and some bridges may have required some restriction. Developments Since 1993 and Comments Following the 1993 Carl Bro study, various investigations were undertaken by the road transport and freight forwarding industry. One of the submissions found a gain in efficiency for the region by loading 3 6 m TEU, or 1 6 m TEU and 1 12 m ISO container on a vehicle combination. To achieve this gain, the length of the vehicle combination needed to be increased to 22 m. 9 It was found that the GCM over 2 additional meters would cause no more road wear and less stress on bridges. Applying the upgraded 2L + 15 bridge formula to a 22 m vehicle combination with an extreme axle spacing of about 19.7 m would give a 54.4-ton GCM limit. While the 1993 Carl Bro study had recommended a GCM limit of 63 tons, this limit was considered too high and therefore SADC recommended a 56-ton limit (7 axles x 8 tons per axle). In South Africa, this recommendation meant that the upgraded bridge formula of 2L + 15, with an extreme axle spacing of 19.7 m, could not achieve the recommended limit. SADC also agreed with the road transport industrys recommendation of limits of 10 (single), 18 (tandem), and 24 (tridem) tons. However, in South Africa the upgraded bridge formula of 2 L + 15 when applied to a tridem axle unit with a 2.72 m extreme axle spacing only gave a 20.4-ton limit for the tridem, which was well below the 24-ton limit recommended by SADC. With the two shortcomings in the 2 L + 15 bridge formula described above, South Africa agreed to revise the formula for a second time, to 2.1 L + 18. This gave a 23.7-ton limit for a tridem axle unit (considered to be close enough to the agreed 24-ton limit) and a GCM limit of over 59 tons. However, it was agreed that the new formula was not too generous (at 59 tons for the extreme axle spacing) because it restricted the limits on the tandem and tridem axle units in a 6axle articulated vehicle. The extreme axle spacing for the 18-ton tandem axle unit and the 24ton tridem axle unit in the articulated vehicle would have to be at least 11.4 m apart for them to achieve full loading. Since this was in fact not possible, these two axle units have not been able to realize their full potential until recently. Against this background, all parties in the context of SADC cooperation agreed that the 56-ton limit was adequate and the new bridge formula gave the tandem and tridem axle units in a 6axle articulated vehicle combination reasonable mass limits.
9 Generally, this was not seen as presenting a safety problem since the time required to overtake such a vehicle would be increased by less than one second.

Examples of Vehicle and Vehicle Combination Drawings to Assist with the Regulations of Member States
The following drawings of vehicles and vehicle combinations show many of the vehicles and vehicle combinations on the regions roads today. Not every vehicle or vehicle combination is shown. No more than 7 axles per vehicle combination are shown. While 8-axle vehicle combinations will be limited to 56 tons and do appear on regional roads, it is not considered desirable to show them since it may encourage overloading. All vehicles and vehicle combinations are covered by the Bridge Formula: Load (tons) = 2.1 Distance between any two axles (meters) + 18 The heavier vehicle combinations comply with the Bridge Formula and are limited to 56 tons. For simplicity and apart from the front axle, no axles with single tires are shown. In most cases, the inclusion of single tires will reduce the allowable load limits. The regional recommendations for single tire limits in an axle unit still have to be finalized. The load limits shown in the left hand column wee determined by the sum of the axles (axles), or by the single drive axle (single drive), or by the gross combination mass limit (GCM). LEF = the Load Equivalency Factor for the seven common vehicle combinations shown, as calculated in the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) study of August 2010.

it provides an integrated approach to vehicle overload control with legal effect; this approach has been effectively applied before; the steps required for adoption of a Protocol are lengthy, making it inappropriate for the required fast tracking of the issue; and a Protocol would just provide a general framework and would therefore need to be accompanied by a number of laws and regulations.
K.2
An EAC Act (pursuant to Article 62 of the EAC Treaty) would provide an integrated approach to vehicle overload control in the EAC with legal effect in the Partner States. It would override contrary national laws and regulations as per subparagraphs (4) and (5) of Article 8 of the EAC Treaty. Alternatively, if a Protocol is adopted and the Partner States have their own laws/regulations, they will not meet the mandate of Article 90(l) of the EAC Treaty for the Partners States to adopt common rules and regulations on gross weight and load per axle.
K.3
EAC Acts have been applied effectively before (e.g., the EAC Customs Management Act, 2004; the EAC Standardisation, Quality Assurance, Metrology and Testing Act, 2006; the EAC One-Stop Border Posts Act, in process). There are no convincing reasons to abandon this approach.
K.4
A Protocol would take longer to adopt than an Act, making it inappropriate for the required fast tracking of the issue. It would require many steps: (i) submission of the draft to the sectoral council and then to workshops in the Partner States, (ii) preparation of a final report with a revised draft Protocol as an official document, (iii) submission of the final report to the Council of Ministers for approval, (iv) article-by-article review by the Attorneys Generals of the Partner States and the Legal Department of the Secretariat, and (v) submission of the resulting draft to the Council of Ministers for signing.
K.5
A Protocol would only provide a general framework and therefore would not meet the mandate of Article 90(l) for common rules and regulations. Pursuant to Article 151(l) of the EAC Treaty, a Protocol is an annex of the EAC Treaty to spell out the objectives and scope of, and institutional mechanisms for co-operation and integration. Therefore, many of the required details could not be specified in a Protocol. It would be unprecedented.

Additional laws and regulations would be required, and if enacted at the Partner State level would result in a fragmented, non-harmonized approach.

Appendix L
In response to a request for a comparison of interlinks (B-doubles) and truck-trailers, a brief discussion of existing work is presented. The National Transport Commission (NTC, previously NTRC) of Australia developed performance-based standards (PBS) for heavy vehicles as an alternative means of regulating heavy vehicles. It is the latest edition of these standards that South Africa is using for its PBS initiative. During the process of recommending and reviewing potential performance standards, the NTC conducted an evaluation of the Australian heavy vehicle fleet against these standards. 1 At the time, the range of selected potential standards was as suggested by previous work by the same organization 2 and this list remains essentially unchanged. In the NTCs evaluation of the Australian vehicle fleet, 139 generic vehicles were chosen to represent the range of typical vehicle combinations including rigid trucks, truck-trailers, trucksemitrailers, and road trains. Numerical computer simulations of these vehicle combinations were conducted (using Adams and AutoSim multi-body/vehicle dynamics software packages) and the performance statistics of each combination compared against the respective performance standards. The subsequent report from that study is lengthy and detailed and a summary may be downloaded from the NTCs website. 3 A description of the various performance measures may also be obtained from the website. 4 In support of the safety of interlinks over truck-trailers (more specifically, based on the illustrations provided, truck and dog trailer), some overall results of the study are presented in Tables L-1, L-2, and L-3. The tables show the percentage of vehicles simulated in each vehicle group (e.g., B-double, rigid truck) that pass the required performance criteria at the required level. In the right-most column the percentage of vehicles in each group that pass all of the standards is given. Hence, a higher quoted percentage of one vehicle group over another gives an indication of the statistically superior performance of that particular vehicle combination over the other in each performance measure. The limiting values for the PBS measures are relaxed for more limited road access Urban road access has the most stringent requirements, major freight routes slightly less stringent and road train routes the least stringent. The tables show the results for each of these access levels respectively. Arguably, the most safety-critical PBS measures are those pertaining to dynamic characteristics of the vehicle and are: Static Rollover Threshold, Rearward Amplification, High Speed Transient Offtracking, Yaw Damping, and Tracking Ability on a Straight Path. The results show the B-double to be the superior performer in all these standards except rollover threshold and the difference here is not considerable. It can be seen from the performance in low-speed standards that the B-double is not, in general, ideally suited for urban access but performs notably overall. From these results and other research results it may be said that in general Bdoubles are dynamically safer than truck-dog-trailer equivalents. It should be emphasized however that it is possible to produce an unsafe vehicle in either configuration, even within legal constraints, and as such this deduction is not all-encompassing.
