Determination of Friction Performance of High Friction Surface Treatment Based on Alternative Macrotexture Metric

Surface friction is currently the most common metric for evaluating the performance of high friction surface treatment (HFST). However, friction test methods such as the locked wheel skid tester (LWST) commonly provide a spot measurement. Large variations may arise in the LWST testing on curves. Bas...
