Title:

Assessment of Friction-Based Pavement Methods and Regulations: Final Report

Abstract:

The objective of this project was not to develop a Guide for Pavement Friction, that would identify technologies, processes, and practices suited for designing, constructing, monitoring and maintaining pavements with good frictional characteristics. The objective of this project was to compile the current methods (procedures and acceptability criteria) and related regulations that are currently implemented and used by state and local jurisdictions to not only characterize pavement friction but also to qualify pavement condition.
