Objective Background Experimental program Results Conclusions Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure

Different research efforts have studied procedures to harmonize friction measurements  PIARC Experiment to Compare and Harmonize Texture and Skid Resistance Measurements  NASA Wallops Friction Workshops Program  HERMES Experiment Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure Motivation

To compare friction and macrotexture measurement results and determine if the previously adopted models are valid for the devices considered.  Measurements taken at the Virginia Smart Road in 2008 by the members of the Pavement Surface Properties Consortium. Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure Objective

Objective Background Experimental program Results Conclusions Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure

Conclusions The original PIARC coefficients did not produce harmonious results for the devices and surfaces tested  the original coefficients determined during the PIARC experiment may need to be adjusted for the devices evaluated before the IFI can be implemented in the participating agencies Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure

Conclusions (cont.) The results also suggest that that there is a better correlation of the speed gradient, Sp, with macrotexture using a power model than with the linear model used on the original IFI equations  Particularly for the measurements using smooth tires Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure

Conclusions (cont.) Preliminary revised coefficients for the participating devices are provided based on the results on the sections tested. However, it is recommended that these values are verified on other surfaces before implementation. Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure
