NASA WALLOPS TIRE/RUNWAY FRICTION WORKSHOPS: 1993-2002

In the fall of 1992, data was collected in Belgium and Spain for the PIARC International Experiment to compare and Harmonize Friction and Texture Measurements. The following May, some of the devices used in the tests in Belgium and Spain were assembled at the NASA Wallops facility. Measurements were also made at Wallops with other devices that were not used in Europe. Each May for the next consecutive nine years (1994-2002) data was collected with ground vehicles on the test surfaces at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility during the annual Tire/Runway Friction Workshops. This extensive database has been compiled into spreadsheets summarizing the average values of repeat runs made on each site by each device.
