Abstract:A historical overview of pavement friction testing in Connecticut is presented.
Photographs of early pavement friction testers are provided, including vintage photos
of a skid trailer from a Federal Highway Administration (formally Bureau of Public
Roads) demonstration in 1968. Early documents that were pivotal in initiating a
pavement friction testing program in Connecticut are cited. It provides insight into
a state highway agency’s perspective as friction testing services evolved. It covers
the equipment used and explains the interpretation of data output. The paper
documents Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) literature pertaining to
pavement friction testing, and lists research studies that have been conducted in
Connecticut. ConnDOT polices and procedures are reviewed. Early pioneers in
pavement friction testing services are acknowledged.
