Pavement Surface Characteristics Evaluation Using Vehicle-Based Data Collection
Various methods are used to collect pavement surface conditions, varying from manual checks by employees to specialized equipment. However, traditional methods usually require expensive specialized equipment and are time-consuming and costly. This thesis examines the use of connected vehicles (CV) …

Comparison of Surface Characteristics of Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement Surfaces at the Virginia Smart Road
Pavement surface characteristics are important to both the safety of the pavement surface and the comfort of the drivers. As of yet, texture and friction measurements have not been incorporated into the design of pavement surfaces. Seven different wearing surface mixtures, placed at the Virginia …

The Effect of Pavement Temperature on Frictional Properties of Pavement Surfaces at the Virginia Smart Road
Wet-pavement friction is a public concern because of its direct relation to highway safety. Both short- and long-term seasonal variations have been observed in friction measurements. These variations have been attributed to different factors, such as traffic, rainfall, and temperature. Since both …
