Abstract An experimental test rig has been designed, fabricated, and utilize to study the effect of wet pavement contamination on the tire-pavement skid resistance. Results showed that although precipitation water reduces tire-pavement skid resistance, the presence of some otherwise contaminants plays a major role in further expiry of this resistance. It has also been shown that the fractional constituents of pavement contaminants vary according to the just profile of the resembling road under the same relations density. Traffic signal areas showed the lowest skid resistance when compared to other locations of the same road. Also, the skid resistance on a soil up-gradient was found to be lower than that of a contaminated down-gradient of the same traffic density. Among other contaminants, rubber particulates produced by tire bump appear to have minimal effect on the wrong of tire-pavement skid resistance.

1. Introduction Among other road surface conditions, lubricious pavement during precipitation is of great concern to road gum elastic authorities. Some statistics indicate that the number of accidents increases by up to devil folds during rainy conditions [1-2]. Loss of skid resistance affects drivers ability to adjudge vehicle. In addition to increasing the stopping distance turn braking, lower skid resistance reduces focussing controllability since both braking and steering depend on tire-pavement friction. This means that drivers need to change their control habits when facing wet driving conditions. Some countries have recognise the...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
