Effect of pavement surface properties on life cycle cost analysis
… methods used in determining the best alternative pavement project. The two main pillars of LCCA are user costs and agency costs. User costs are incurred during normal transportation operation and when there is a work zone present. Costs that occur during normal operating conditions are due to …

Quantifying the Impact of Pavement Surface Properties on Road Safety: A Data-Driven Approach
… on volumetric exposure and geometry and omit pavement surface characteristics that govern tire–road interaction. Despite the growing availability of network level surface data such as Skid Friction Number at 40 mph (SFN40), Macrotexture via Mean Profile Depth (MPD), and pavement age and …

Enhancing Pavement Surface Macrotexture Characterization
… for transportation engineers is to understand pavement surface properties and their positive and negative effects on the user. This can improve the design of the infrastructure, adequacy of tools, and consistency of methodologies that are essential for transportation practitioners regarding …

Enhancing Network-Level Pavement Macrotexture Assessment
Pavement macrotexture has been shown to influence a range of safety and comfort issues including wet weather friction, splash and spray, ambient and in-vehicle noise, tire wear, and rolling resistance. While devices and general guidance exist to measure macrotexture, the wide-scale collection and …

Enhancement of Network Level Macrotexture Measurement Practices through Deterioration Modeling and Comparison of Measurement Devices for Integration into Pavement Management Systems
… to integrate measurement and prediction of surface macrotexture for use in pavement management systems. This was achieved through two experiments, the first modeled the behavior of a binder-rich stone matrix asphalt when subjected to traffic loading using a heavy vehicle simulator to report …
