“…The friction force developed at the contact zone between tire and pavement is called skid resistance [6]. The skid resistance is related to many factors and it is known to be a function of pavement construction materials [7] [8], pavement roughness [9], and surface conditions [10].…”

Driving safety is of significance in the automobile industry and transportation systems. Pavement skid resistance has long been recognized as the most important parameter in reducing traffic accidents especially in wet conditions. The knowledge of the friction coefficient and skid resistance is very valuable information for safety enhancement of roads. Thus, it is important to find proper methods for measuring skid resistance and frictional properties of the pavement surface. There is a wide range of measurement methods and devices for measuring skid resistance. This paper presents a review on the research studies that have been done on characterization of the frictional properties of the pavement surface and discussed methods used for measurement and evaluation of texture characteristics and the strengths and weaknesses of these methods. Finally, some ideas have been suggested to develop new methods for better and proper measurement of skid resistance.

“…Skid resistance of surfaces changes over time, typically increasing in the first two years following pavement construction for roads due to the wearing by traffic, and rough aggregate surfaces becoming exposed, then decreasing over the remaining pavement life as aggregates become polished [41].…”

“…The minimum recommended values of skid resistance and calculated corresponding CoFs for different sites on road networks that are measured with the BPT under typical wet conditions are shown in Table 2 and are reported in various literature sources internationally [41,44,45]. Rain, snow and ice are common hazards that compromise the quality of road surfaces [46][47][48] by interfering with surface macrotexture and microtexture.…”

Impact of Volcanic Ash on Road and Airfield Surface Skid Resistance

Volcanic ash deposited on paved surfaces during volcanic eruptions often compromises skid resistance, which is a major component of safety. We adopt the British pendulum test method in laboratory conditions to investigate the skid resistance of road asphalt and airfield concrete surfaces covered by volcanic ash sourced from various locations in New Zealand. Controlled variations in ash characteristics include type, depth, wetness, particle size and soluble components. We use Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) for most road surface experiments but also test porous asphalt, line-painted road surfaces, and a roller screed concrete mix used for airfields. Due to their importance for skid resistance, SMA surface macrotexture and microtexture are analysed with semi-quantitative image analysis, microscopy and a standardised sand patch volumetric test, which enables determination of the relative effectiveness of different cleaning techniques. We find that SMA surfaces covered by thin deposits (~1 mm) of ash result in skid resistance values slightly lower than those observed on wet uncontaminated surfaces. At these depths, a higher relative soluble content for low-crystalline ash and a coarser particle size results in lower skid resistance. Skid resistance results for relatively thicker deposits (3-5 mm) of non-vesiculated basaltic ash are similar to those for thin deposits. There are similarities between road asphalt and airfield concrete, although there is little difference in skid resistance between bare airfield surfaces and airfield surfaces covered by 1 mm of ash. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations for maintaining road safety and effective cleaning techniques in volcanic ash environments.

“…Any road condition change, from dry asphalt or even concrete to ice transition, influences the parameters of the sliding friction function and is a very important parameter in wheel lockup and vehicle skidding (Bartlett & Wright, 2010;Flintsch, McGhee, de León Izeppi, & Najafi, 2012;Goudie, Bowler, Brown, Heinrichs, & Siegmund, 2000;Hall et al, 2009;Henry, 2000). The relation between the vertical and horizontal tire forces is also very important because it is the resistance of the road surface to skidding or sliding of a vehicle (Asi, 2007;Deur, Asgari, & Hrovat, 2004;Noyce, Bahia, Yambo, & Kim, 2005;Ray, 1997).…”

Abstract. The skid mark is valuable for accident reconstruction as it provides information about the braking behaviour drivers and the speed of heavy vehicles. However, despite its importance, there is currently no mathematical model available to estimate skidding distance (SD) as a function of vehicle characteristics and road conditions. This paper attempts to develop a non-linear regression model that is capable of reliably predicting the skidding distance of heavy vehicles under various road conditions and vehicle characteristics. To develop the regression model, huge data sets were derived from complex heavy vehicle multi-body dynamic simulation. An emergency braking simulation was conducted to examine the skidding distance of a heavy vehicle model subject to various Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and vehicle speeds, as well as the coefficient of friction of the road under wet and dry conditions. The results suggested that the skidding distance is significantly affected by Gross Vehicle Weight, speeds, and coefficient of friction of the road. The improved non-linear regression model provides a better prediction of the skidding distance than that of the conventional approach thus suitable to be employed as an alternative model for skidding distance of heavy vehicles in accident reconstruction.
