A closer look at the locked-wheel pavement friction data in the ltpp database for selected states

Pavement friction data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database were treated and analyzed in order to examine its quality, patterns, and potential use. Data from a number of states along with Puerto Rico, Ontario, and Saskatchewan were sorted by availability of traffic information, te...
