Comparison of skid resistance evolution models
This paper presents results of a research aiming at modeling the evolution of road surface skid resistance using statistical and phenomenological approaches. Data are... -
Modeling of the connection road surface microtexture/water depth/friction
The paper deals with the variation of tire/road friction with thin water depths and the effect of road surface microtexture. Tests are performed in laboratory on slabs... -
Laboratory test methods for polishing asphalt surfaces and predicting their s...
In this paper, laboratory test methods reproducing phenomena affecting pavement skid resistance evolution are presented. Polishing tests are performed by... -
Pavement polishing—Development of a dedicated laboratory test and its correla...
Skid-resistance of trafficked roads decreases due to polishing and can have a drastic consequence on the driver safety. There is a need to dispose of a laboratory test... -
Influence of thin water film on skid resistance
Most of past researches on the skid resistance/road wetness relationship deal with thick water depths (> 1mm). Questions remain as to the variation of skid... -
Laboratory test methods for polishing asphalt surfaces and predicting their s...
In this paper, laboratory test methods reproducing phenomena affecting pavement skid resistance evolution are presented. Polishing tests are performed by... -
Characterization of road microtexture by means of image analysis
Road-surface microtexture (sub-millimeter scale) is essential for pavement skid-resistance. However, its measurement is only possible in laboratory on cores taken from... -
Use of Wehner Schulze to predict skid resistance of Irish surfacing materials
This paper details the first assessment of asphalt mixes used in Ireland using the Wehner Schulze test equipment. The mixes assessed were 10mm SMA, 14mm SMA and hot... -
Long-Term Skid Resistance of Asphalt Surfacings: correlation between Wehner-S...
This work focuses on the relation between the mineralogical composition of aggregates and their capacity to generate adequate friction between the road surface and the...
