New apparatus for skid testing : assessment for dusty surfaces

Skidding has been identified as one of the most common factor for road accident. Skid resistance is also related to several road features, which are the skidding properties of the road surface, the presence of water and contaminants. Many apparatus are designed and has been used to determine the val...
