“…In order to limit the complexities of simultaneously considering the effect of variable weather conditions (i.e., both temperature changes and variable surface conditions), it was decided to adopt a constant temperature for the current stage of investigation. This temperature was set to 20 • C, which is the mean approach for a typical range of room temperatures (e.g., 15-25 • C) that have been also used for other similar investigations (e.g., [59]). In its generalized form, the wetting protocol that was followed for the laboratory simulation of the weather conditions on the fabricated specimens is shown in Figure 11 and described in detail thereafter.…”

One of the challenges of using recycled materials in road structures is to maintain safe and durable pavements. A multitude of research has been conducted over the years on various recycled materials, with a focus on the structural performance of pavements. Another crucial, but almost overlooked, aspect is the pavement’s ability to provide adequate skid resistance for road users under different climatic conditions. With this in mind, the present study aimed to investigate the skid resistance of asphalt mixtures containing two different types of recycled materials under laboratory-simulated weather conditions. Conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and mixtures containing either reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for aggregate replacement or crumb rubber (CR) as a bitumen additive were prepared and tested at different temperatures and different surface conditions (i.e., dry/wet) following a wetting protocol. Skid resistance was measured using a British Pendulum Tester (BPT). The results showed that the recycled mixtures performed similarly to conventional ones in terms of the skid resistance when the temperature was varied and under variable simulated surface conditions too. In some cases, they performed even better than conventional mixtures. Overall, a promising potential is demonstrated towards the use of the investigated recycled materials in asphalt surface courses.

“…Different gradations of permeable asphalt mixtures produce different pore characteristics; thus, they have different sensitivities to the particle sizes of blockages, and different particle size compositions of the blockages also have different effects on the blockage [31]. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the gradation composition of the blocking particles and to simulate the most severe case of blocking of permeable asphalt pavements.…”

Dust, sediment, and stone chips often block the rainwater-infiltration paths of permeable pavements, which, in conjunction with vehicle load, reduces drainage capacity. To restore this capacity, a reasonable maintenance time and suitable maintenance measures must be determined. Therefore, we investigated the void attenuation and decline in drainage capacity of permeable asphalt pavements under the combined action of dust blockage and vehicle load. First, the water seepage coefficient decay and the decay rate under blocking and compaction were determined via clogging and compaction experiments. Second, experimental data were incorporated into an entropy–analytic hierarchy process analysis model, with the gross domestic product ratio, wind scale, and maximum five-year rainfall for the area. Finally, three test roads were studied as the weight to rank the maintenance urgency and predict the maintenance timing for each road under different rainfall conditions. The results demonstrate that the drainage capacity of permeable pavements obeys the parabolic exponential attenuation law. From the findings regarding road water storage capacity, the latest pavement maintenance time at different rainfall levels were obtained. This predicted maintenance time enables better decisions than regular time on code, which is the effect of drainage caused by multiple factors.

“…Many scholars have researched the relationship between road surface texture structure and skid resistance performance [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The related theories, design ideas, technical methods proposed have far-reaching effects on the research of the skid resistance mechanism of asphalt pavement and the reduction in traffic accidents, and also proved that the surface texture significantly affects the skid resistance of the pavement.…”

The lack of skid resistance performance is a crucial factor leading to road traffic accidents. The pavement surface friction is an essential indicator for measuring the skid resistance. The surface texture structure significantly affects the friction between the tire and the pavement, determining the pavement skid resistance. To deeply study the relationship between surface texture structure and pavement skid resistance performance, two types of asphalt mixture specimens, asphalt concrete (AC) and open-graded friction course (OGFC), are prepared for the skid resistance performance test. Firstly, a high-precision 3D smart sensor Gocator 3110 is used to collect the 3D point cloud data of the asphalt mixture surface texture. The British pendulum tester is used to measure the friction. Secondly, ten feature parameters are extracted to describe the 3D macrotexture characteristics. A data set containing 10 features and 200 groups of texture and friction data was also constructed. Meanwhile, the influence of macro-texture features on the skid resistance performance is discussed. Finally, an optimized Bayesian-LightGBM model is trained based on the constructed dataset. Compared with LightGBM, XGBoost, RF, and SVR algorithms, the Bayesian-LightGBM model can evaluate skid resistance more accurately. The R2 value of the proposed model is 92.83%. The research results prove that ten macrotexture features contribute to the evaluation of skid resistance to varying degrees. Furthermore, compared with AC mixture specimen, the texture surface of OGFC mixture specimen has more obvious height characteristics and higher roughness. The skid resistance of OGFC mixture specimens is better than that of AC.
