“…In real traffic conditions, surfaces are exposed to polishing, abrasion and weathering as a result of car traffic, water, pollution and weather conditions [ 57 ]. Due to the fact that these phenomena occur simultaneously but with varying intensity depending on climatic conditions, it is difficult to reproduce them in laboratory conditions.…”

The paper presents a comparison of the skid resistance of concrete pavements textured with different techniques in the process of simulating phenomena occurring in actual road conditions. Tests were carried out on five different texturing methods for concrete pavements: burlap drag (BuD), brush drag (BrD), transverse tining (TT), longitudinal tining (LT) and exposed aggregate concrete (EAC). Changes in the skid resistance were recorded by measurements with a British pendulum tester and a circular texture meter before and during the simulation of the abrasion (1st phase of test) and polishing (2nd phase of test) of specimens using a slab polisher. The results of BPN (British pendulum number) and MPD (mean profile depth) allowed us to determine the influence of microtexture and macrotexture on skid resistance. Analysis of variance showed that the method of texturing concrete pavements has a significant influence on the mean BPN values as well as the MPD parameter at each stage of the test. In order to distinguish homogeneous groups in terms of BPN and MPD levels at the particular stages of the process, the Tukey’s HSD (honest significant difference) post-hoc test was performed. It was found that EAC obtained the most favorable results of all the tested pavement types. Due to the high value of the MPD coefficient after the test and the appropriate values of the friction coefficient, it was confirmed that the EAC pavement will be a durable solution due to the guarantee of skid resistance on high-speed roads during its service life.

“…When the demarcation frequency is known, the Gaussian low-pass filter is easily designed based on Fourier integral transform [22]. The radius of demarcation frequency of the low-pass filter d0 satisfies Equation (6). For every asphalt mixture specimen experiencing accelerated wear, four regions are collected to reconstruct the 3D texture, Figure 4.…”

“…The conditional limitations mainly reflect in speed-dependent, personnel operation, nature of the surface of the pavement (dry or wet) among other factors. Thus, the friction coefficient is not always a constant but varies with speed, temperature and the state of pavement [5][6][7][8]. Additionally, different countries in the world have established their own standards.…”

Pavement skid resistance is an important guarantee for driving safety. However, it is very difficult to determine the exact friction in a field environment. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional evaluation methods, the effect mechanism of surface 3D (three-dimensional) texture on skid resistance was firstly analyzed. Then the surface 3D texture of pavement was acquired through an improved binocular reconstruction method. Additionally, the relationship between friction coefficient and 3D texture was also analyzed. Subsequently, under the concept of IFI (international friction index) used to harmonize different detection methods of skid resistance, the evaluation model of skid resistance based 3D texture was further established. The results showed that the multiple quadratic multinomial regression model can well describe the relationship between skid resistance and texture indicators. The establishment of an improved evaluation model is simple to operate and implement. It can directly evaluate the skid resistance on pavement surface once the aggregates' type and 3D texture are known. This evaluation model not only overcomes the challenges of friction coefficient with a strong conditional restriction, but also provides a harmonious approach for different detection methods in the evaluation of pavement skid resistance.

Seasonal variations include many different factors, such as the presence of surface contaminants during dry periods, weathering and polishing of aggregates.…”

“…Studies into the correlation of pavement temperature and skid resistance in general show rather weak correlations or temperature correction factors that depend strongly on the specific site conditions (Van Bijsterveld and Del Val, 2016;Jahromi et al, 2011). Srirangam et al (2013) and Anupam et al (2013) in a paper in two parts, present a very interesting approach for the prediction of the tyre operating temperature.…”

For a car to be able to brake, accelerate or change direction, it needs a sufficient level of friction between its tyres and the pavement surface. The tyres play an important role, but road authorities are only responsible for an adequate level of skid resistance of the pavement surface. The skid resistance of a pavement changes over time due to various processes, such as polishing, wear and weathering, but also temporary effects such as temperature or dust accumulation. Road authorities perform skid resistance measurements on a regular basis in order to be able to plan and perform timely maintenance to restore skid resistance. There are only in Europe 14 skid resistance measurement devices with different working principles and different technical characteristics, such as the type of tyre, the measurement speed, the type and amount of wheel slip, the vertical load, etc. These differences make that the measurements are comparable, but there is no unique correlation, since the response to changes in the friction conditions are different for each measurement device, and especially for each type of rubber used for the testing wheels.
