The conventional manual sand-patch method of mean texture depth (MTD) measurement is
unsuitable for network level pavement condition monitoring. Relying on 2-D mean linear …

Road performance (eg, rolling resistance, friction, noise, and hydroplaning) is affected by
surface macrotexture. The characteristics above need to be controlled and predicted at the …

In the past, pavement surface texture has primarily been measured using volumetric
methods, with the sand patch test the most common. However, handheld laser-based …

Two-and three-dimensional macrotexture characteristics of various surfaces were measured
using five different testing methods including sand patch method, laser profiler, laser texture …

Pavement friction measurements are collected and used to assess the functional
characteristics of pavements to ensure an adequate level of friction. There are several …

This study introduces a novel three-dimensional (3D) pavement macrotexture measurement
technique using ISO 25178 Surface Volume Parameters (SVP). The method calculates …

Recent advances in technology allowed for the use of laser-based systems that can directly
measure macrotexture properties of various surfaces. Volumetric or sand patch method has …

The phenomenon of aggregate loss from the surface layer, known as fretting (minor) and
ravelling (severe) is considered one of the distresses that trigger pavement resurfacing in …

Bituminous mixtures with low nominal maximum aggregate size, NMAS, have appreciable
acoustic performance. Their surface texture is crucial to balance acoustic-and safety-related …

This paper presents issues related to the assessment of the texture of aggregate concrete
(EAC) surfaces using various methods for its verification. Microtexture was assessed using …
