One of the most important parameters of pavement serviceability in terms of view road safety is without doubt skid resistance. By now, a number of different methods and devices have been developed for both friction and texture evaluation. However, while measurements of friction coefficients tend to be subject to a large number of boundary conditions, texture measurements are affected by device limits without the possibility of detecting surface irregularities at the microtexture level, which appears to be crucial ...

The Road materials are exposed during the operation to the effects of traffic loads and climatic influences, in particular changes in air and humidity temperatures, which are reflected by cyclical changes in pavement and subsoil. Strain of different materials is very different its the same load and depend on its deformation properties. Strain of material and substance are generally characterized by deformation characteristics that are an important input for the calculation of stresses and deformation of the paveme...
