“…For macro-texture from 2018 to 2020, (1) both S a and S q had no significant distinction in mean value and standard deviation, indicating that traffic polishing was not decreasing the macro-texture’s height. This result corresponds to a previous study that the MPD values tended to remain constant under different polishing cycles [ 31 ]; (2) the negative S sk indicates that pavement macro-texture had valley structure; (3) the declined average S ku means that the height variation of surface peaks or valleys was decreasing.…”

“…Wang et al tried to quantify the effect of aggregate size with W/S device on polishing resistance, and the texture variation characterized by power spectral density (PSD) showed that the coarser aggregate had a significantly rougher texture [ 5 ]. Wu and Abadie simulated the wearing process with an accelerated polishing machine and measured MPD with a CTM, and the results indicated that the MPD values tended to remain constant under different polishing cycles [ 31 ]. Plati and Pomoni investigated the long-term field data of skid resistance and macro-texture and found that the MPD and grip number (GN) presented a contrary trend under traffic polish [ 32 ].…”

Pavement micro- and macro-texture have significant effects on roadway friction and driving safety. The influence of traffic polish on pavement texture has been investigated in many laboratory studies. This paper conducts field evaluation of pavement micro- and macro-texture under actual traffic polishing using three-dimensional (3D) areal parameters. A portable high-resolution 3D laser scanner measured pavement texture from a field site in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Then, the 3D texture data was decomposed to micro- and macro-texture using Fourier transform and Butterworth filter methods. Twenty 3D areal parameters from five categories, including height, spatial, hybrid, function, and feature parameters, were calculated to characterize pavement micro- and macro-texture. The results demonstrate that the 3D areal parameters provide an alternative to comprehensively characterize the evolution of pavement texture under traffic polish from different aspects.

“…A similar model suggesting that MTD decays with repeated traffic loading was evaluated by Wu and Abadie (15) who characterized friction and texture in the laboratory and then validated their results with field observations. The raveling process, described in Figure 2, has been observed by different researchers (18).…”

Recent studies have shown that friction and, more notably, macrotexture reduce markedly when pavements are newly overlaid. However, past studies have not identified whether these effects are temporary and, if so, how long they may last. These effects must be quantified to inform strategies for best monitoring and managing friction and the surface characteristics of a pavement network. This paper uses a group of sites that received a surface overlay at some point between the end of 2019 and the end of 2021. At each site, friction and texture were measured sequentially after construction in the center of the lane (CL) and in the right-wheel path (RWP). These observations were used to evaluate the early friction and texture evolution after an asphalt overlay. First, seasonal effects were evaluated using the CL measurements, presumed to be unaffected by traffic, which indicated friction is affected by seasonality, whereas texture is not. A friction seasonal effect model was calibrated and then used to remove the seasonal variation from the RWP observations. The results showed that friction initially increases after an overlay but then, after reaching a maximum, starts to decrease. The average traffic volume needed to reach the point of maximum friction was 15.5 million repetitions. Four parameters, computed from the texture profile, were used to represent macrotexture. The macrotexture was found to generally increase after overlay construction, but in some sites the magnitude and number of peaks decayed with time.

“…The microtexture has a very high influence on skid resistance. When the aggregates of the pavement surface get polished due to traffic wearing, the microtexture smoothens, causing the reduction of friction (Wu & Abadie, 2018).…”

Photocatalytic asphalt mixtures have the capability of mitigating air quality problems and degrade oils/greases by using semiconductors. The techniques to do so can change their functional characteristics. This study aimed to analyse the functionalization effect on the essential surface characteristics, such as macrotexture, skid resistance, and microtexture. AC 14 and AC 6 mixtures were functionalised with nano-TiO 2 and micro-ZnO by spraying and bulk incorporation. Mean Profile Depth, British Pendulum and microtexture amplitude parameters were evaluated. TiO 2 application seemed to smooth the surface slightly. In dry condition, the skid resistance of functionalised asphalt and control mixtures was similar. In wet condition, the functionalization caused a maximum decrease of 7% in skid resistance. The amplitude parameters were not affected by any functionalization technique except the skewness of AC 14 with 6% TiO 2 by bulk incorporation. Furthermore, the application of the semiconductors can be used without high impacts in texture and skid resistance.
