Identifying Texture and Friction of Asphalt Pavement Surface with Optimized Close-Range Photogrammetry Method

An adequate pavement texture that provides sufficient brake friction is critical for drive safety. Thus, it is essential to quantify the pavement texture and friction efficiently and accurately. So far, the close-range photogrammetry (CRP) method has been manifested as a promising one. Nonetheless, related measurement parameters have not been well optimized toward its extensive promotion. For this reason, varying measurement parameters of CRP method were thoroughly discussed and optimized in this study. Additionally, the optimized CRP method was further validated using the sand patch test and X-ray computed tomography scan method. Based on this, the estimation of friction coefficients for asphalt concrete (AC-13), stone mastic asphalt (SMA-13), and open graded friction course (OGFC-13) were carried out. The results indicate the following: (1) the optimized CRP method was able to adequately feature the pavement macrotexture; (2) the mean texture depth derived from the CRP method was equivalent to the texture depth measured from sand patch method; in addition, (3) the OGFC asphalt mixture was superior to the SMA and AC asphalt mixtures in terms of the friction coefficients. The optimized CRP method could bring bright prospects for future measurements of pavement texture.
