Road and airfield surface characteristics - Part 4: Procedure for determining the skid resistance of pavements using a device with longitudinal controlled slip (LFCT): Tatra Runway Tester (TRT)

This Technical Specification describes a method for determining the skid resistance of pavements by measurement of the longitudinal friction coefficient LFCT.
The method provides a measure of the skid resistance properties of a bound surface by measurement of the longitudinal friction coefficient using a continuous reading braked test wheel with a slip ratio of 25 % (standard) or a variable slip between 0 % to 100 % (for research measurements).
The test tyre is dragged over a pre-wetted pavement under controlled load and constant speed conditions. The measured values can be affected by the test speed.
This technical specification covers the operation of the Tatra Runway Tester (TRT).
The acronym Tatra Runway Tester (TRT) applies to a device, developed by Tatra Kopřivnice in the Czech Republic to perform routine, continuous measurements of friction for long road sections or punctual measurements at different speeds to characterise a particular section. It is not manufactured under license.
A machine conforming to the general characteristics of the TRT and the specific provisions of this Technical Specification may also be used for the tests.
The skid resistance of a pavement is determined by friction measurements and measurements of pavement texture. Where measurement of pavement texture is required, the standard for this measurement and the device is described in EN ISO 13473-1.

Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Griffigkeit von Fahrbahndecken durch Verwendung eines Geräts mit geregeltem Schlupf in Längsrichtung (LFCT): das Tatra-Fahrbahnmessgerät (TRT)

Diese Technische Spezifikation beschreibt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Griffigkeit von Fahrbahndecken
durch Messung des Reibungskoeffizienten in Längsrichtung LFCT.
Dieses Verfahren liefert ein Maß für die Griffigkeitseigenschaften einer gebundenen Oberfläche durch Messung
des Reibungskoeffizienten in Längsrichtung mit Hilfe eines kontinuierlich messenden Messfahrzeugs mit
gebremstem Messrad mit einem Schlupfverhältnis von 25 % (Normwert) oder einem variablen Schlupf zwischen
0 % und 100 % (für Forschungsmessungen).
Der Messreifen wird unter geregelten Lastbedingungen und mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit über eine zuvor
angenässte Fahrbahndecke gezogen. Die Messwerte werden von der Messgeschwindigkeit beeinflusst.
Diese Technische Spezifikation behandelt den Betrieb des Tatra-Fahrbahnmessgeräts (en: Tatra Runway
Tester, TRT).
Die Bezeichnung Tatra-Fahrbahnmessgerät bzw. die Abkürzung TRT gilt für das in der Tschechischen Republik
von Tatra Kopřivnice entwickelte Messgerät zur Durchführung von routinemäßigen kontinuierlichen
Reibungsmessungen auf langen Straßenabschnitten oder zur Durchführung von punktuellen Messungen bei
unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten zur Charakterisierung eines bestimmten Abschnitts. Es wird nicht in
Lizenz hergestellt.
Für diese Prüfungen darf auch ein Messgerät verwendet werden, dass den allgemeinen Merkmalen des
Tatra-Fahrbahnmessgeräts und den speziellen Vorgaben dieser Technischen Spezifikation entspricht.
Die Griffigkeit einer Fahrbahn wird mit Hilfe von Reibungsmessungen und Messungen der Fahrbahntextur
ermittelt. Das Normverfahren für die Messung der Fahrbahntextur, falls diese erforderlich ist, und das dafür zu
verwendende Messgerät sind in EN ISO 13473-1 beschrieben.

4 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
4.1
skid resistance
characterisation of the friction of a road surface when measured in accordance with a standardised
method
4.2
friction
resistance to relative motion between two bodies in contact, the frictional force being the force which
acts tangentially in the contact area
4.3
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.
4.4
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.
4.5
vertical force
load
force applied by the wheel assembly on the contact area
NOTE Some devices use an assumed load based on the static load.
4.6
horizontal force
drag
horizontal force acting tangentially on the test wheel in line with the direction of travel
4.7
slip ratio
quotient of the slip speed divided by the operating speed
4.8
operating speed
speed at which the device traverses the test surface

CEN/TS 15901-4:2009 (E)
4.9
slip speed
relative speed between the test tyre and the travelled surface in the contact area
4.10
fixed slip
condition in which a braking system forces the test wheel to roll at a fixed reduction of its operating
speed
4.11
fixed-slip friction
friction between a test tyre and a road surface when the wheel is controlled to move at a fixed
proportion of its natural speed
4.12
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.
4.13
longitudinal friction coefficient
LFC
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.
4.14
sampling length or sampling interval
distance over which responses of the sensors are sampled to determine a single measurement of the
recorded variables
NOTE 1 The sampling length depends upon the detailed operation of device and its recording system; a
number of samples may be combined to determine a measurement for a subsection.
NOTE 2 This should not be confused with horizontal resolution which is the shortest distance over which a
change in the measured parameter can be detected.
4.15
subsection
defined length of surface for which one set of the measured variables is reported by the device
NOTE Different devices may use different subsections depending on the context of the measurements, such
as 5 m, 10 m or 20 m.
4.16
test section
length of road between defined points (e.g. location references, specific features, or measured
distances) comprising a number of subsections over which a continuous sequence of measurements
is made
4.17
water delivery system
system for depositing a given amount of water in front of the test tyre so that it then
