Regression Techniques

It is generally agreed that the friction between a tire and a wet pavement (skid resistance) is controlled by the surface texture characteristics. Therefore, by measuring the relevant parameters describing texture, or by measuring a physical process dependent on texture, regression techniques can be used to relate skid resistance to the chosen texture parameter or process. Two scales of texture are of particular importance: microtexture (small-scale asperities) and macrotexture (large-scale asperities). This paper describes work performed to: (1) review candidate macrotexture and microtexture measurement methods that can be made at highway speeds (at or about 64 km/h [40 mph]), which are presently used or have potential for use in pavement texture measurement; (2) design and build a prototype of the most promising method; and (3) evaluate the effects of pavement surface texture on skid resistance. A prototype noncontact vision system that makes texture measurements at highway speeds was developed, and several improvements were made to upgrade the system to provide an improved prototype. Both hardware and software enhancements have yielded a texture measurement system that can obtain pavement macrotexture data in a fast, efficient, and reliable way.

Road pavement roughness, in terms of skid resistance, can be described from a geometrical point of view as a texture or from a physical point of view as friction between a tire and a road surface. The paper deals with the comparison of asphalt and concrete pavement surface on selected newly built sections of the D1 motorway near the Ovčiarsko tunnel. Texture measurements were performed with a Static Road Scanner (SRS) capable of recording surface irregularities up to the microtexture level (2.49 µm resolution). A pendulum was used to determine the friction. Subsequently, the texture was evaluated using individual amplitude and wavelength characteristics and the friction was evaluated using the PTV parameter. Finally, correlations were searched between the roughness characteristics of asphalt concrete and cement concrete pavements, but also between texture and friction characteristics.

Resistance Performance

As cities grow in size, traffic also increases, thus making the population more exposed to road noise and traffic accidents. It is therefore important to study and understand which properties of the pavement influence its acoustic impact and skid resistance performance. The pavement texture plays a major role in generating noise and friction, and it can be engineered in order to control both of them at the same time. The phenomena regulating skid resistance are well understood today. The same applies for noise generation and propagation; the literature contains methods of designing the pavement surface layer to achieve consistent results. Several types of solutions can be found for asphalt mixtures, most of them derived from decades of studies and research. They use different approaches to be effective for noise and friction, but all have in common the control of the surface’s macro and microtexture. Finally, some considerations are made regarding novel paving solutions with artificial aggregates instead of natural ones to address noise and skid resistance.

EACCP is a new-type cement concrete pavement with better skid-resistance and less traffic noise. In this paper, skid-resistance and noise-reducing performance of EACCP are tested and analyzed by laboratory and outdoor tests. The results indicate that the relationship between BPN and EAD is followed the parabola variation laws. With the increase of EAD, TD decreases. And skid-resistance value exists the extremum. If BPN is targeted as skid-resistance optimization goal for pavement surface features, the optimized EAD is existed and approximately to 40~60. The relationship between BPN and TD is also followed the parabola variation laws which also suggests the existence of the optimized TD scope approximately to 0.8~1.0mm.The relationship between TD and EAD can be simulated by index variation laws. With the increase of EAD, TD decreases, which proves the evident noise-reducing performance of EACCP. And the reduction amplitude of noise increases with vehicular acceleration.

Wet Friction

Due to their influence on traffic safety, skid resistance and drainage are important surface properties of a road and their optimization and durability is still focus of ongoing research. Under wet conditions, these two characteristics are connected as a wetted road cannot provide a sufficient skid resistance without a working drainage system. The wet friction is mainly affected by the road surface geometry and the water depth. Herein, we describe a novel numerical approach to study the influence of the surface texture – mainly the microtexture – on the wet friction coefficient. This method is based on the hysteresis effect, which is the main friction force on rough surfaces under wet conditions. We therefore use an already established friction model for dry surfaces and extend its range of application by an additional consideration of water films. A drainage model has been developed to calculate the water film thickness for a given road surface and geometry (pavement surface runoff model) as systematic measurements of water film thicknesses in situ are difficult. The water depth determines the number of contact points between the pavement and the tyre. Based on three-dimensional measurements of a surface texture, the friction coefficient is calculated. By this newly developed model approach, it is possible to identify the main factors influencing wet skid resistance in regard to the pavement surface microtexture and the water film thickness.

Over Time

Pavement surface–tire friction is a critical safety element associated with roadway design, construction, and maintenance practices. The skid resistance of pavements generally declines over time and increases the risk of skidding-related crashes. On horizontal curves, lateral friction may be associated with lane-departure incidents, particularly as the pavement ages and drivers demand more lateral friction than the pavement surface–tire interaction can supply. On tangent roadway sections, longitudinal friction affects braking distances. As the skid-resistance properties of a pavement surface decline over time, braking distances increase, and may increase risks to driver safety. A comprehensive understanding of the process of pavement friction degradation could help highway agencies identify roadway segments that need maintenance to reduce the probability of skid-related incidents. This paper presents a survival analysis of friction degradation for asphalt pavement surfaces. Duration models were estimated with data collected annually along an Interstate highway in Pennsylvania to investigate the degradation of friction over time. These models consider traffic volume and roadway features to determine the probability that friction levels will remain above various friction thresholds. The resulting statistical models can help transportation agencies make better decisions about pavement maintenance to reduce safety risk.

Skid resistance is an important surface characteristic that influences roadway safety. Various studies have been performed to understand the interaction between pavement and tires through numerical simulation for skid resistance prediction. However, the friction parameters required for simulation inputs are generally determined by objective assumptions. This paper develops a finite element method (FEM)-based skid resistance simulation framework using in-situ 3D pavement surface texture and skid resistance data. A 3D areal pavement model is reconstructed from high resolution asphalt pavement surface texture data. The exponential decay friction model is implemented in the simulation and the interface friction parameters required for the simulation are determined using the binary search back-calculation approach based on a trial process with the desired level of differences between simulated and observed skid numbers. To understand the influence of texture characteristics on interface friction parameters, the high-resolution 3D texture data is separated into macro- and micro-scales through Butterworth filtering and various areal texture indicators are calculated at both levels. Principal component analysis (PCA) regression analysis is conducted to quantify the relationship between various texture characteristics and the interface friction parameters. The results from this study can be used to better prepare the inputs of friction parameters for FEM simulation.

This research studies the properties of Porous Concrete Paving Blocks (PCPB) with different sizes of coarse aggregate. Coarse aggregate (CA) is the main component in manufacturing PCPB. Three different sizes of coarse aggregate were used; 1) CA 5 – 10 mm as a control, 2) CA 5 – 8 mm and 3) CA 8 – 10 mm. Furthermore, a series of test were conducted such as density, compressive strength, porosity and skid resistance test to determine the properties of the blocks. It was found that the size of coarse aggregate affects the strength and porosity of the blocks. The strength was reduced approximately in the range 5 % to 17 % from the control blocks. However, it is vice versa with porosity result which porosity of the blocks increased in between 5 % to 10 %. This shows that the blocks suitable for use in vehicle area where help in reduce the water ponding on pavement surface and also increased the skid resistance between the vehicle tires and pavement.
