Abstract:Because of the evident advantages associated with the smooth tire for the measurement of pavement friction, many highway agencies have become interested in the smooth tire. Pavement friction is the result of tire–pavement interaction. Because of the differences between ribbed and smooth tires, experiences with the ribbed tire may not apply to the smooth tire. Therefore, it is of great importance to evaluate those issues associated with the use of the smooth tire in network pavement inventory friction testing, … Show more
