Abstract:

The effects of vehicle splash and spray are well known to motorists who have driven in wet weather conditions. Research suggests that splash and spray contribute to a small but measureable portion of road traffic accidents and are the source of considerable nuisance to motorists. Splash and spray from highway pavements also can carry a number of pollutants and contaminants. When deposited, these contaminants can be poisonous to plant life and accelerate the corrosion of roadway appurtenances. The report describes the development of an assessment tool to characterize the propensity of highway sections to generate splash and spray during rainfall and the impact of splash and spray on road users. The project accomplished the following specific objectives: 1. Evaluation of prior work in the area of splash and spray mechanisms; 2. Development of a model to predict water film thickness and splash and spray occurrence on pavement surfaces that encompasses an appropriate range of conditions; 3. Evaluation of the impact of splash and spray on roadway users; 4. Validation and refinement of the developed model; and, 5. Documentation of the development efforts and preparation of technology transfer materials.
