Validity of skid resistance data collected under Western Australian conditions
In this paper, the authors discuss the validity of data collected using the methods and techniques adopted by Main Roads Western Australia for the purpose of monitoring skid resistance along the Western Australian arterial road network. In particular, the authors discuss the validity of estimating the International Friction Index (IFI) from the Rado Friction Model using data collected by variable slip testing under Western Australian conditions. Given the validity of IFI estimates obtained using this approach, the authors discuss the limitations of the application of skid resistance data in monitoring road network performance.
