NTL-HIGHWAY/ROAD TRANSPORTATION-Pavement Management and Performance
Abstract:

Under INDOT’s current friction testing program, the friction is measured annually on interstates but only once every three years on noninterstate ; roadways. The state’s Pavement Management System, however, would require current data if friction were to be included in ; the PMS. During routine pavement condition monitoring for the PMS, texture data is collected annually. This study explored the ; feasibility of using this pavement texture data to estimate the friction during those years when friction is not measured directly. After ; multiple approaches and a wide variety of ways of examining the currently available data and texture measuring technologies, it was ; determined that it is not currently feasible to use the texture data as a surrogate for friction testing. This is likely because the lasers ; used at this time are not capable of capturing the small‐scale pavement microtexture. This situation may change, however, with ; advances in laser or photo interpretation technologies and improved access to materials data throughout the INDOT pavement network.
