Validation of standard surface reproducibility
Abstract
A two-year study of skid surface reproducibility utilizing a two-wheeled skid trailer and the reference surfaces of the Field Test Centers of the Federal Highway Administration was conducted. Both ASTM and production tires in various sizes and constructions were used as well as the testing methods set forth in the UTQG procedure. Statistical methods of data analysis were used to determine reproducibility of surfaces. Specific details of the apparatus and calibration procedures are discussed.
