Abstract

Five variables believed to be closely associated with the friction available at the tyre-pavement interface were analyzed by studying 501 wet-weather vehicular accidents. Tyre pressure, tread depths, vehicular speed, friction and macrotexture. Studies should be directed toward cornering friction because some 40% of the accidents involved a turning maneuver.
