The　Guanhe　Bridge　of　the　Yanhai　Highway,　Jiangsu　Province　as　the　background　project,　the　actual　running　vehicle　load　model　of　the　cable-stayed　bridge　was　established　based　on　the　GPS　(Global　Positioning　System)　measured　data.　Firstly,　the　baseline　finite　element　model　of　Guanhe　Bridge　was　constructed　based　on　the　response　surface　model,　and　then　the　displacement　influence　lines　of　key　sections　in　the　bridge　were　calculated.　Secondly,　actual　vehicle　load　displacement　standard　values　were　obtained　by　two　ways,　one　generalized　extreme　value　theory　model　(GEV)　to　weigh-in-motion　(WIM)　system　data,　and　the　other　generalized　Pareto　distribution　model　(GPD)　to　GPS　measurement.　Finally,　the　ratio　of　actual　standard　displacement　value　to　normative　displacement　value　multiplies　standard　line　load,　which　can　be　used　as　the　actual　vehicle　load　model　of　Guanhe　Bridge.　The　results　show　that　based　on　the　GPS　data,　the　actual　vehicle　load　is　about　70%　of　highway　load　I-grade.　Based　on　the　WIM　system　data,　the　actual　vehicle　load　is　about　71%　of　highway　load　I-grade.　The　results　calculated　from　GPS　and　WIM　data　coincide　with　each　other.　The　monitor　of　more　than　half　a　year　shows　that　the　actual　running　vehicle　load　of　Guanhe　Bridge　does　not　exceed　the　design　load.　The　proposed　method　using　GPS　data　with　advantages　of　direct　usage,　high　efficiency,　and　simplicity　can　be　put　into　construction　of　the　running　vehicle　load　model.　But　some　attention　should　be　paid　to　the　selection　and　examination　of　the　mathematical　model.　©　2016,　Editorial　Department　of　China　Journal　of　Highway　and　Transport.　All　right　reserved.
