Road surface friction, or in other words, a pavement's skid resistance, is an essential
attribute of highway safety, acting as a liaison between the infrastructure condition and the …

Climate change is already happening. It is one of the significant challenges that the planet
has to face. Asphalt road pavements cover a large area of the Earth's surface; consequently …

Conversion of pervious natural ground into impermeable pavement systems has caused
severe environmental impacts such as urban heat islands, increased infrastructure-related …

Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) and ladle furnace slag (LFS) are by-products of the electric
steelmaking sector with suitable properties for use in bituminous mixtures as both coarse …

Environmentally friendly porous asphalt mixtures have poor tensile strength performance
and durability due to their porous structure. This results in their service life typically being …

In this paper, a 2D-wavelet approach is proposed to characterize the pavement texture
acquired from the 3D laser scanner. The texture is decomposed into nine levels (from 0.1 …

As cities grow in size, traffic also increases, thus making the population more exposed to
road noise and traffic accidents. It is therefore important to study and understand which …

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 …

Accurate assessment of road pavement friction is crucial for maintaining road safety. This
study explores the prediction of the friction coefficient (µ) using 3D texture parameters of …

The use of waste materials in road construction is becoming widely spread due to economic
and environmental needs. Construction and demolition waste materials and mining residues …
