A Skid Resistance Predicting Model for Single Carriageways

Skid resistance, or friction, on a road surface is a critical parameter in functional highway assessments, given its direct relationships with safety and accident frequency. Therefore, road administrations must collect friction data across their road networks to ensure safe roads for users. In addit...
