Development of a Pavement Friction Management Program
Friction between pavement and vehicles is a key part to highway safety, allowing drivers to change directions safely as well as reducing skidding or hydroplaning. The aim of this project is to help Illinois Department of Transportation develop a statewide pavement friction management program. Researchers will help the agency develop a tool to track areas where friction treatments are needed as well as identify effective treatments. Better addressing and tracking roadway friction will help IDOT effectively identify areas of concern, determine the best treatment and execute long-term plans to maintain and replace friction treatments statewide, contributing to safe travel for road users.
