Road and airfield surface characteristics - Part 2: Procedure for determining the skid resistance of a pavement surface using a device with longitudinal controlled slip (LFCRNL): ROAR (Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter)

This Technical Specification describes a method for determining the wet road skid resistance of a surface by measuring the LFCRNL using the Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter (ROAR).
In addition to the friction measurement also measurements of pavement texture can be performed.
The method provides friction coefficient measurements of pavements by using a hydraulically braked test wheel at a pre set slip ratio, which can be fixed from 5 % to 95 %. Default value for the Netherlands is 86 %.
The standard test tyre is dragged over a pre wetted pavement under controlled load and speed conditions while its running direction is parallel to the direction of motion and perpendicular to the pavement.
To determine the macro texture of the pavement a laser system is used. This system is placed in front of the towing vehicle in order to measure the macro texture on dry pavements and on the same path as the skid resistance measurement is done. The standard for this measurement and the used measuring device are well described in standards EN ISO 13473-1 and ISO 13473-2.

Oberflächeneigenschaften von Straßen und Flugplätzen - Teil 2: Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Griffigkeit von Fahrbahndecken durch Verwendung eines Geräts mit geregeltem Schlupf in Längsrichtung (LFCRNL): das in den Niederlanden verwendete ROAR-Gerät (Road-Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter)

Diese Technische Spezifikation beschreibt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Griffigkeit von nassen Fahr-bahndecken durch Messung des LFCRNL mit Hilfe des Straßenzustandserfassungsgeräts ROAR (en: Road Analyser and Recorder) von Norsemeter.
Zusätzlich zur Reibungsmessung können auch Messungen der Textur der Fahrbahndecke durchgeführt werden.
Das Verfahren ermöglicht Messungen des Reibungskoeffizienten von Fahrbahndecken mit Hilfe eines hydrau¬lisch gebremsten Messrades mit einem im Bereich von 5 % bis 95 % voreingestellten Schlupfverhältnis. Der Normwert für die Niederlande ist 86 %.
Der Normmessreifen wird unter geregelten Last- und Geschwindigkeitsbedingungen über eine zuvor ange-nässte Fahrbahndecke gezogen, wobei er parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung und rechtwinklig zur Fahrbahn läuft.
Zur Untersuchung der Makrotextur der Fahrbahndecke wird ein Lasersystem verwendet. Dieses System wird vor dem Schleppfahrzeug angeordnet, um die Messung der Makrotextur auf der trockenen Fahrbahn und auf der für die Griffigkeitsmessungen verwendeten Messstrecke zu ermöglichen. Das Normverfahren für diese Messung und das dafür zu verwendende Messgerät sind in EN ISO 13473 1 und ISO 13473 2 beschrieben.

La présente Spécification technique décrit une méthode permettant de déterminer l’adhérence sur route mouillée en mesurant le CFLRNL à l’aide du système ROAR (« ROad Analyser and Recorder ») de Norsemeter. Outre le mesurage du frottement, il est également possible de mesurer la texture de la chaussée. La méthode permet de déterminer le coefficient de frottement des chaussées à l’aide d’une roue d’essai à frein hydraulique selon un taux de glissement préalablement défini, qui peut être compris entre 5 % et 95 %. Aux Pays-Bas, la valeur par défaut est 86 %. Le pneumatique d’essai normalisé est traîné sur une chaussée préalablement mouillée, dans des conditions de charge et de vitesse contrôlées, parallèlement à la direction du mouvement et perpendiculairement à la chaussée. Un système laser est utilisé pour déterminer la macrotexture de la chaussée. Ce système est placé devant le véhicule tracteur afin de mesurer la macrotexture sur des chaussées sèches, sur la même trace où l’adhérence est mesurée. La norme et l’appareil de mesure utilisés sont présentés dans l’EN ISO 13473-1 et l’ISO 13473-2.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes a method for determining the wet-road skid resistance of a surface by
measuring the LFCR using the Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter (ROAR).
NL
In addition to the friction measurement also measurements of pavement texture may be performed.
The method provides friction coefficient measurements of pavements by using a hydraulically braked test
wheel at a pre-set slip ratio, which may be fixed from 5 % to 95 %. Default value for the Netherlands is 86 %.
The standard test tyre is dragged over a pre-wetted pavement under controlled load and speed conditions
while its running direction is parallel to the direction of motion and perpendicular to the pavement.
To determine the macrotexture of the pavement a laser system is used. This system is placed in front of the
towing vehicle in order to measure the macrotexture on dry pavements and on the same path as the skid
resistance measurement is done. The standard for this measurement and the used measuring device are well
described in EN ISO 13473-1 and ISO 13473-2.

4.2
wet-road skid resistance
property of a trafficked surface that limits relative movement between the surface and the part of a vehicle tyre
in contact with the surface, when lubricated with a film of water
NOTE Factors that contribute to skid resistance include the tyre pressure, contact area, tread pattern and rubber
composition; the alignment, texture, surface contamination, and characteristics of the road surface; the vehicle speed; and
the weather conditions.
The skid resistance of a road surface in Europe varies seasonally. Generally, wet skid resistance is higher in winter as a
result of the effects of wet detritus and the effects of frost and wear by tyres on microtexture and macrotexture. Wet skid
resistance is lower in summer as a result of dry polishing by tyres in the presence of fine detritus.
The change in skid resistance of a surface in service is affected by the volume of traffic and the composition of the traffic,
i.e. cars, buses, commercial vehicles of different sizes, as the tyres of these vehicles polish and/or wear away the
surfacing material in different ways. The geometry of the road will affect the change in skid resistance. Generally, tyres
polish less on straight roads than on bends.
Where the surface contains aggregate with a coating of binder, e.g. bitumen, resin or Portland cement, the skid resistance
will change as the coating is worn away by tyres.
4.3
bound surface
top layer or surface course of a road with the aggregates secured permanently in place
NOTE Aggregates are commonly secured in place by bitumen or Portland cement.
4.4
calibration
periodic adjustment of the offset, the gain and the linearity of the output of a measurement method so that all
the calibrated devices of a particular type deliver the same value within a known and accepted range of
uncertainty, when measuring under identical conditions within given boundaries or parameters
4.5
contact area
overall area of the road surface instantaneously in contact with a tyre
NOTE This term describes the overall area generally covered by the tyre. Due to the effects of surface texture or any
tyre tread pattern, not all of the tyre or road surface in the contact area can be in contact at any instant.
4.6
longitudinal friction coefficient
ratio between horizontal force (drag) and vertical load (load) for a braked wheel in controlled conditions, which
is normally a decimal number quoted to two significant figures
NOTE LFC varies depending on the slip ratio of the device and the operational speed.
4.7
LFCR
NL
longitudinal friction coefficient measured with a device conforming with this Technical Specification
4.8
microtexture
deviation of a pavement from a true planar pavement with characteristic dimensions along the pavement of
less than 0,5 mm, corresponding to texture wavelengths with one-third-octave bands and up to 0,5 mm centre
wavelengths
NOTE 1 Peak to peak amplitudes normally vary in the range 0,001 mm to 0,5 mm.
NOTE 2 Microtexture is a primary component in skid resistance at slow speeds. Those devices that utilize a relatively
low slip speed primarily measure the component of friction affected by microtexture.

deviation of a pavement from a true planar pavement with characteristic dimensions along the pavement of
0,5 mm to 50 mm, corresponding to texture wavelengths with one-third-octave bands including the range
0,63 mm to 50 mm centre wavelengths
NOTE 1 Peak to peak amplitudes normally vary in the range 0,1 mm to 20 mm.
NOTE 2 Macrotexture is a major factor influencing skid resistance at high speeds but it also has an effect at low
speeds.

mean profile depth
descriptor of macrotexture, obtained from a texture profile measurement as defined in EN ISO 13473-1 and
ISO 13473-2
4.11

maximum difference expected between two measurements made by the same machine, with the same tyre,
operated by the same crew on the same section of road in a short space of time, with a probability of 95 %
4.13
reproducibility

ROAR
device developed by the Norsemeter cooperation to perform routine, continuous measurements of friction for
long road-sections
NOTE A device conforming to the general characteristics of the ROAR and the specific provisions of this Technical
Specification should be used for the tests.
