Abstract: Abstract Road safety depends on pavement skid resistance and surface texture. Skid resistance mainly depends on micro-texture and macrotexture. Skid and texture measurements on samples, in the laboratory, at the preliminary stage of the design,… read more here.

Abstract: Skid resistance of roads enables drivers to shorten their stopping distances and to follow their desired trajectories on curves, too. The road texture remains the principal parameter governing skid resistance, especially in wet conditions. That… read more here.
