Skid Resistance - Pavement Interactive
The most commonly used method in the U.S. for skid resistance testing uses some form of a lock wheel tester (see Figure 1). Basically, this method uses a locked wheel skidding along the tested surface to measure friction resistance. A typical lock-wheel skid measurement system must have the following: 1. A test … See more
A spin up tester has the same basic setup as a locked wheel tester but operates in an opposite manner. For a spin up tester, the vehicle (or trailer) is brought to the desired testing speed (typically 64 km/hr (40 mph)) and a locked test wheel is lowered to the … See more
Because pavement skid resistance is tied to surface macrotexture, some methods seek to measure a pavement’s macrotexture then … See more
