Skid Resistance Performance Analysis and Driving Safety Evaluation in the Full Life Cycle of Asphalt Pavement
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part B: Pavements
Volume 150, Issue 4
Abstract
Skid resistance of pavement plays a vital role in transportation safety, and it continuously deteriorates because the pavement was exposed to traffic and environmental loadings. Although the evaluation law of asphalt pavement skid resistance has been intensively studied, few has focused on its impact on driving safety. To close this knowledge gap, the current study used the CarSim/Simulink simulation and back-propagation (BP) neural network method to establish the relationship between pavement characteristics and vehicle driving safety. The skid resistance performances of nine types of asphalt mixture specimen were evaluated using a full life cycle dynamic friction testing machine (LCDFM), and results showed that the deterioration rate of the dynamic friction coefficient () first increases rapidly, then slowly decreases and finally stabilizes. The early-stage increase resulted from the polish of asphalt film from the aggregate surface. The simulation studies indicated that driving speed exhibits the most significant impact on driving safety, followed by vehicle type, mean texture depth (MTD), and polishing time. The MTD is negatively correlated with , and the other factors are positively correlated. The driving safety rankings of the three pavement types and three gradations examined are open-graded friction coarse (OGFC) > stone mastic asphalt (SMA) > asphalt concrete (AC). Meanwhile, a greater value of nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) also induces better driving safety owing to the more abundant surface macrotexture. The research findings from this study provide reference to the materials design and pavement skid resistance prediction.
