Road and airfield surface characteristics - Part 5: Procedure for determining the skid resistance of a pavement surface using a device with longitudinal controlled slip (LFCRDK): ROAR (Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter)

This document describes a method for determining the skid resistance of a surface by measurement of the longitudinal friction coefficient LFCN.
The method provides a measure of the wet skid resistance properties of a bound surface by measurement of the longitudinal friction coefficient using a continuous reading braked wheel fixed-slip device.The test tyre is dragged over a pre-wetted pavement under controlled speed conditions while the test tyre is parallel to the direction of motion and perpendicular to the pavement.This Technical Specification covers the operation of the Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter (ROAR). The fixed slip ratio is 20 %.
A machine conforming to the general characteristics of the ROAR and the specific provisions of this Technical Specification may also be used for the tests.
In addition to friction measurements, to determine the macro texture of the pavement surface a laser system is used. This system is placed in front of the towing vehicle in order to measure the macro texture (mean profile depth - MPD) on dry pavements and on the same path as the skid resistance measurement is done. The standard for this measurement and the device is described in EN ISO 13473-1.
The skid resistance of a pavement is determined by friction measurements and measurements of pavement texture. The skid resistance may be reported either as friction measurement or as a combination of friction and texture measurements.

Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Griffigkeit von Fahrbahndecken durch Verwendung eines Geräts mit geregeltem Schlupf in Längsrichtung (LFCRDK): das in Dänemark verwendete ROAR-Gerät (Road Analyser und Recorder of Norsemeter)

Diese Technische Spezifikation beschreibt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Griffigkeit von Fahrbahn-decken durch Messung des Reibungskoeffizienten in Längsrichtung LFCN.
Das Verfahren liefert ein Maß für die Nassgriffigkeitseigenschaften einer gebundenen Oberfläche durch Mes-sung des Reibungskoeffizienten in Längsrichtung mit Hilfe eines kontinuierlich messenden Messfahrzeugs mit gebremstem Rad und festem Schlupf.
Der Messreifen wird mit geregelter Geschwindigkeit über eine zuvor angenässte Fahrbahndecke gezogen, wobei er parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung und rechtwinklig zur Fahrbahn läuft.
Diese Technische Spezifikation behandelt den Betrieb des ROAR-Geräts (en: Road Analyser and Recorder) von Norsemeter. Das feste Schlupfverhältnis beträgt 20 %.
Für diese Prüfungen darf auch ein Messgerät verwendet werden, das den allgemeinen Merkmalen des ROAR-Geräts und den speziellen Vorgaben dieser Technischen Spezifikation entspricht.
Zusätzlich zu den Reibungsmessungen wird zur Bestimmung der Makrotextur der Fahrbahndecke ein Laser-system verwendet. Dieses System wird vor dem Schleppfahrzeug angeordnet, um die Messung der Makrotex¬tur (bzw. der mittleren Profiltiefe, MPD) auf der trockenen Fahrbahn und auf der für die Griffigkeitsmessungen verwendeten Messstrecke zu ermöglichen. Das Normverfahren für diese Messung und das dafür zu verwen¬dende Messgerät sind in EN ISO 13473 1 beschrieben.
Die Griffigkeit einer Fahrbahn wird durch Reibungsmessungen und Messungen der Textur der Fahrbahndecke ermittelt. Die Griffigkeit kann entweder als Reibungsmessung oder als eine Kombination aus Reibungs- und Texturmessung angegeben werden.

Le présent document décrit une méthode permettant de déterminer l’adhérence d’une surface par mesure du coefficient de frottement longitudinal CFLDDK.
La méthode permet de déterminer les propriétés d’adhérence d’une surface limitée mouillée en mesurant le coefficient de frottement longitudinal à l’aide d’un appareil de mesure en continu dont le taux de glissement de la roue freinée est constant.
Le pneumatique d’essai est traîné sur une chaussée préalablement mouillée, dans des conditions contrôlées de vitesse, parallèle à la direction du mouvement et perpendiculaire à la chaussée.
La présente Spécification technique porte sur le système ROAR (Road Analyser and Recorder) de Norsemeter. Le taux de glissement fixe est de 20 %.
Pour les essais, il est également possible d’utiliser une machine conforme aux caractéristiques générales du système ROAR et aux dispositions particulières de la présente Spécification technique.
Outre les mesures du frottement, 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 (profondeur moyenne du profil - PMP) sur des chaussées sèches, sur la même trace que la mesure de frottement. Cette mesure et le dispositif correspondant sont présentés dans l’EN ISO 13473-1.
L’adhérence d’une chaussée est déterminée par mesures du frottement et de la texture de la chaussée. L’adhérence peut être reportée sous forme de mesure du frottement ou d’une combinaison de mesures du frottement et de la texture.

Značilnosti cestnih in vzletnih površin - 5. del: Postopek določanja torne sposobnosti vozne površine z opremo za vzdolžne meritve s kontroliranim drsenjem (LFCRDK): ROAR (Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter)

Ta tehnična specifikacija opisuje metodo določanja torne sposobnosti površine z meritvijo količnika trenja LFCN. Metoda določa merilo lastnosti tornih sposobnosti mokre omejene površine z merjenjem količnika trenja z opremo za neprekinjeno pregledovanje kontrolirane zdrsnosti zavornega kolesa. S preskusno pnevmatiko se zavira na predhodno namočeni površini pod nadzorovanimi pogoji upora in hitrosti, medtem ko je preskusna pnevmatika vzporedna s smerjo gibanja in navpična na površino. Ta tehnična specifikacija zajema delovanje opreme Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter (ROAR). Kontroliran zdrsni zaostanek kolesa je 20 %. Za preskuse se lahko uporablja tudi stroj, ki ustreza splošnim značilnostim opreme ROAR in posebnim določbam te tehnične specifikacije. Za določevanje makroteksture vozne površine se poleg meritev trenja  uporablja laserski sistem. Ta sistem je nameščen pred vozilo za vleko, da se meri makrotekstura (povprečna globina profila – MDP) suhih površin in na isti stezi, na kateri se izvaja meritev torne sposobnosti. Standard za to meritev in napravo je opisan v EN ISO 13473-1. Torna sposobnost površine je določena z meritvami trenja in meritvami teksture površine. Torna sposobnost je lahko predstavljena bodisi kot meritev trenja ali kot kombinacija meritev trenja in teksture.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes a method for determining the skid resistance of a surface by
measurement of the longitudinal friction coefficient LFCN.
The method provides a measure of the wet skid resistance properties of a bound surface by measurement of
the longitudinal friction coefficient using a continuous reading braked wheel fixed-slip device.
The test tyre is dragged over a pre-wetted pavement under controlled speed conditions while the test tyre is
parallel to the direction of motion and perpendicular to the pavement.
This Technical Specification covers the operation of the Road Analyser and Recorder of Norsemeter (ROAR).
The fixed slip ratio is 20 %.
A machine conforming to the general characteristics of the ROAR and the specific provisions of this Technical
Specification may also be used for the tests.
In addition to friction measurements, to determine the macrotexture of the pavement surface a laser system is
used. This system is placed in front of the towing vehicle in order to measure the macrotexture (mean profile
depth – MPD) on dry pavements and on the same path as the skid resistance measurement is done. The
standard for this measurement and the device is described in EN ISO 13473-1.
The skid resistance of a pavement is determined by friction measurements and measurements of pavement
texture. The skid resistance may be reported either as friction measurement or as a combination of friction
and texture measurements.

4 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
4.1
friction
resistance to relative motion between two bodies in contact, the frictional force being the force, acting
tangentially in the contact area, which is measured by a friction-measuring device
4.2
braking force coefficient
ratio between the longitudinal frictional force and the load on the test tyre, the test tyre mass and the rim mass,
which is without dimension
4.3
skid resistance
characterisation of the friction of a road surface when measured in accordance with a standardised method
4.4
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 are tyre pressure, contact area, tread pattern and rubber
composition: the alignment, texture, surface contamination and characteristics of the road surface, vehicle speed and
weather conditions.
The skid resistance of a 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 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 binders, e.g. bitumen, resin or Portland cement, the skid
resistance can change as the coating is worn away by tyres.
4.5
friction coefficient ROAR
µ
ratio between the horizontal force in the direction of the motion that can be activated between the test wheel
and the wet pavement and the vertical wheel load accomplished under controlled slipping conditions
NOTE The controlled slipping condition is achieved
