Abstract

The role of macrotexture in imparting friction capabilities to pavement surfaces is of major concern to researches. The effects of macrotexture types and magnitudes on friction numbers and friction-speed gradients are analyzed. Statistical analyses and typical plots are given. Brief descriptions of several macrotexture measurement methods that have or are being used by various agencies in the United States and other countries are presented.
