A Review on Acoustic and Skid Resistance Solutions for Road Pavements

As cities grow in size, traffic also increases, thus making the population more exposed to road noise and accidents. It is therefore important study understand which properties of pavement influence its acoustic impact skid resistance performance. The texture plays a major role generating friction, it can be engineered order control both them at same time. phenomena regulating are well understood today. applies for generation propagation; literature contains methods designing surface layer achieve consistent results. Several types solutions found asphalt mixtures, most derived from decades studies research. They use different approaches effective but all have common surface’s macro microtexture. Finally, some considerations made regarding novel paving with artificial aggregates instead natural ones address resistance.
