This book was released on 2000 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to pavement design, construction, management, and research engineers, highway safety officials, and others concerned with pavement friction characteristics. It describes the current state of the practice and discusses the methods used for evaluating wet pavement friction characteristics of new and restored pavements. This synthesis reviews models used for measuring and evaluating friction and texture, causes for friction changes over time, and aggregate and mix design to provide adequate friction. Also presented are construction and surface restoration practices for providing good pavement surface characteristics. In addition, considerations of noise and ride quality are discussed when compromise may be required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The automobile is one of the inventions that has made a decisive contribution to human mobility, and consequently it has become an inseparable part of modern human society. However, it is through this widespread use that its negative impacts on the environment have become so highly visible. Achievements in improving the ecological characteristics of the automobile are highly impressive: a modern car emits only a fraction of the amounts of noise and exhaust pollutants produced by its predecessors 30 years ago. The contributions to this book were written by experts, most of whom have been actively involved in the development of modern automobiles and their combustion engines for more than 30 years. They have participated in all phases of the ecological development of the automobile and summarize their experience and know-how in this book .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes an evaluation and classification of pavement surfaces with respect to skid resistance. The study was conducted by means of a questionnaire survey of agencies within and adjacent to California, and by testing and examination of 45 existing pavement surfaces. The test program included standard skid tests at two speeds and additional tests with a smooth tire at one speed. Surface textures were measured by stereophotographs to obtain a "texture profile". The approximate cost of the surface, the amount of traffic exposure, and vehicle accident data were included in the evaluation. The pavement surfaces were ranked on the basis of skid number, speed gradient, and texture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical interaction between roadway surface and vehicle tires has been widely investigated. Roadway conditions, traffic characteristics, environmental factors, and driver habits all play important roles in skid resistance and safety characteristics of pavements. It is difficult, however, to use quantitative statements to describe these uncertain factors, and the poor correlation between pavement performance and these factors makes it impossible to predict skid-resistance properties with regression analysis. To evaluate pavement skid resistance, a new methodology has been introduced which uses fuzzy-sets mathematics. The skid performance of pavement sections can be grouped by fuzzy cluster analysis of the data obtained from sand-patch and British pendulum number testing, as well as skid numbers measured on test sections with blank and ribbed test tires. A computer model which predicts locations that have a high accident potential can be established from the fuzzy cluster results. These results can also be used to predict seasonal variations in pavement skid resistance. The principle discussed here can be valuable in all types of pavement-condition evaluations. This paper presents the state of the art in using fuzzy cluster analysis for evaluating pavement skid resistance, first describing the objectives and the scope of possible applications of this methodology, and then giving the calculation procedures and the results of a case study using this technique. Recommendations for future pavement-skid-resistance research are outlined.
