UTAH'S EVALUATION OF THE MUMETER

A MUMETER IS A FRICTION MEASURING DEVICE USED TO GATHER SKID RESISTANCE DATA. UTAH'S MUMETER WAS TESTED AGAINST COLORADO'S SKID TRAILER AND ARIZONA'S MUMETER OBTAINING CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS OF 0.981 AND 0.982, RESPECTIVELY. THE DEPARTMENT'S RESEARCH SECTION IS USING THE MUMETER TO GATHER SKID DATA ON APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES OF HIGHWAY. THE MAINTENANCE COSTS FOR THE MUMETER HAVE BEEN COMPARATIVELY SMALL, AND ITS OVERALL PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN EXCELLENT. /AUTHOR/
