Roadway friction is one of the most important features for road safety. Many procedures,
tests, and tools have been used widely to measure surface frictional properties of flexible …

An analytical framework and procedure is proposed in this paper to incorporate pavement
skid resistance requirements in asphalt mix design, as part of the overall asphalt pavement …

This paper utilised wavelet analysis to characterise the macro-texture properties of asphalt
pavements. The study included Circular Texture Meter (CTMeter) measurements collected …

Tire–pavement friction plays a key role in traffic safety. With the development of auto vehicle
industry, most of the new vehicles are equipped with Anti Braking System (ABS). Therefore …

The primary objective of this work is to identify influential factors on asphalt pavement texture
properties and to estimate their relative importance. The analysis is descriptive as well as …

Polishing of asphalt pavements and the consequent decreases of skid resistance are world-
wide issues regarding vehicle traffic safety. This paper provided a detailed and up-to-date …

Highway agencies continuously strive to maintain adequate surface friction (or skid
resistance) at the interface between vehicle tyres and pavement surfaces to enhance the …

Featured Application This study presented a new pavement surface function evaluation
method that effectively evaluated the functional performance of different pavement materials …

Three kinds of aggregates were polished by genuine pneumatic rubber tyres. The initial
states of surface texture and dynamic friction coefficient were measured and their …

The objective of this work is to develop statistical models to predict Locked Wheel Skid
Trailer (LWST) skid numbers from Dynamic Friction Tester (DFT) and Circular Texture Meter …
