# Vehicle Load \[SIG]

## General

**Bridge:** The bridge alignment the vehicle load is applied to. Typically set to the active Bridge Alignment.

**Stage:** Construction or service stage at which the vehicle load acts. Selected from the stages defined under Construction.

**Station:** Station along the PGL where the vehicle is placed. Enter a length value.

**Transverse Offset:** Transverse offset, perpendicular to the PGL, that defines the lateral position of the vehicle load. Positive values shift the load to the right when looking upstation.

**Vehicle:** Vehicles can either be imported or manually defined by the user under Influence Surface-Based Live Load/Braking Load/Centrifugal Load and assigned here. A typical default is the HL-93 design truck.

**Force (Gravity) (readonly):** The gross vehicle weight of the chosen vehicle is displayed to the user under this column. (Read-only)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/steel-i-girder-bridge-workflow/loading-sig/loads-sig/static-loads-sig/vehicle-load-sig.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
