Abstract:
This paper presents a method to characterize asphalt pavement macrotexture using the gray-tone difference matrix(GTDM)and discusses the potentials of the GTDM indicators for skid resistance evaluation. There are 37 field sites included in the data collection, which cover 6 types of asphalt pavement surfaces. The mean profile depth derived from 3-D macrotexture measurements(MPD3)has a significant relationship with the mean texture depth(MTD), which can be described by a logarithm model with R2 of 0.962. There is no significant linear relationship between the friction coefficient at a speed of 60 km/h(DFT60)and macrotexture indicators. A nonlinear model with British pendulum number(BPN)incorporated can relate DFT60 to MTD or indicator fcon. A comparison with MTD shows that GTDM-based fcon has a potential to be a macrotexture indicator for skid resistance evaluation, which describes the general height difference and the average local height difference of pavement macrotexture. A relatively high fcon is helpful for improving asphalt pavement skid resistance.
