More details TII Publications, Management of Skid Resistance
AM-PAV-06045 and Surfacing Materials for New and
Maintenance Construction for use in Ireland AM-
PAV-03023 set out the methodology by which the
national roads skidding resistance is managed. They
effectively establish a methodology for managing
the varying demands for friction on the network set
out by event categories and how it is supplied.
For an asphalt mix the current TII approach to
deliver the requisite performance is through
specification of the aggregate. A pending method
within EN Standards is the Friction After Polishing
test (EN 12697 Pt 49). This technical talk will outline
how TII is preparing for this Standard.”
