Abstract

Dynamic hydroplaning is a significant contributing factor to accidents on primary and arterial roads where vehicle speeds can be in excess of 50 miles per hour (80 km/hr) with the advent of techniques to rapidly collect topographic data over road surfaces, hydroplaning potential can be predicted directly rather than inferred from accident statistics. This report describes a one- dimensional, steady-rate, kinematic wave model to predict water film thickness and hydroplaning potential on road pavements which was developed as part of a sponsored research project.
