“…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.

“…As traffic load keeps on increasing, skid resistance decreases in the long term despite any interim increase [30]. Plati and Pomoni [72] investigated the long-term effect of traffic volume on skid resistance and macrotexture and observed that the traffic effect is not a constant factor during pavement service life. In one zone, it was observed that mean profile depth (MPD) and skid resistance exhibited a slow decrease with fluctuations during their evolution period, and in another zone of the test, which starts after a certain volume of cumulative traffic, mean profile depth presented an inverse trend with skid resistance: as MPD increases, skid resistance decreases.…”

Road safety is of prime importance for pavement engineers and maintenance authorities. Pavement resistance to skidding of the vehicle has long been recognized as one of the leading parameters governing road safety and driving comfort, especially in wet weather conditions. The knowledge of skid resistance offered by pavement surface is very valuable information for road safety enhancements. Skid resistance is defined as the force developed when a tire that is prevented from rotation slides along the pavement surface. Evaluation of skid resistance over time and estimation of factors influencing it are important for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation planning. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of various research works carried out for assessing critical parameters like surface texture, tire tread, rain intensity, temperature, loading condition, tire inflation pressure, and pavement type which control skid resistance of asphalt pavement at tire-road interface significantly. First, a brief overview of skid resistance and its importance in asphalt pavement is provided. Then, critical parameters influencing skid resistance are identified and reviewed more elaborately. Furthermore, the key relationship between skid resistance and various controlling parameters is reviewed and presented for a better understanding of skid variation analysis. Finally, a general discussion on skid resistance governing factors, their relative importance in maintaining safety and pavement performance, the complexity involved in computation, and established relationships with skid resistance is briefly summarized.

“…Focusing on the vehicles' braking as a result of a vehicle-infrastructure interaction, friction between the tyre tread and pavement surface is the resistive force developed when a vehicle starts braking, prevented from rotating and instead skids along the pavement surface [13,14]. The frictional force between tyres and pavement is generally characterized by a dimensionless coefficient known as coefficient of friction (CoF), which is the ratio of the tangential force at the contact interface to the longitudinal force on the wheel as shown in Figure 1 and it is given by Equation (1) [15].…”

Vehicles’ braking is a key factor towards safer driving. In particular, tyre–pavement friction is connected with both industry and infrastructure requirements in terms of tyre characteristics and frictional properties of pavement surfaces respectively that both contribute to safe braking. For this reason, tyre–pavement friction is considered as one of the most pressing emergencies in roadway assets in order to reduce skidding related accidents. At the same time, sustainability aspects have been raised in modern infrastructure engineering. Hence, an issue is introduced on how sustainable materials used for pavement construction may contribute to tyre–pavement and consequently vehicles’ braking. For this reason, a laboratory process is developed to investigate the frictional properties of several utilized in pavement wearing courses including both traditional and sustainable materials (reacted activated rubber—RAR and reclaimed asphalt pavement—RAP). Environmental conditions (seasonal temperature changes, rainfall effect and contamination caused by dust formation) are simulated in the laboratory and vehicles’ braking is investigated using the British Pendulum Tester (BPT). Results provide a good explanation for the vehicles’ braking ability under the investigated conditions for both traditional and sustainable materials. Ultimately, it is proved that asphalt mixture types with RAR modifier or RAP material exhibit a satisfactory performance towards providing a safe road surface for the moving vehicles.
