Effects of Pavement Skid Resistance on Traffic Accidents

Effects of Asphalt Pavement Conditions on Traffic Accidents in Tennessee Utilizing Pavement Management System (PMS)

Skid Characteristics of Pavement Surfaces in Indiana

In 1953, drivers in the United States became involved in 31,450 fatal and 1,302,000 non-fatal accidents. Many of these accidents were primarily the fault of the drivers involved, but a great number might have been minimized or prevented by safer highways. Although many factors are involved in the building of safety into highways, one of the more important items is the resistance of pavement sur...

Effects of Studded Tires on Pavement Wear and Traffic Safety

IN T R O D U C T IO N The question of whether the use of metal studs in automobile tires should be permitted as an aid to winter driving has been a highly controversial issue in Minnesota for a number of years. The state leg­ islature in biennial sessions had legalized their use on Minnesota roads and streets for six successive winters from October 1965 through May 1971. But during its last ses...

Pavement Prediction Performance Models and Relation with Traffic Fatalities and Injuries

This paper presents some results of a study, which aimed at modelling pavement evolution by different methods. In a first part, a database was constituted with data collected on French roads in the last decades. The database contains skid resistance values (Sideway Force Coefficient measured by SCRIM/Sideway force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine), macrotexture values (Mean Profile Dep...
