| Abstract | At present, there are several fatalities and injuries due to vehicle crashes every year in Thailand. One of the most significant issues is the roadways condition which is not –safety due to a slippery road or low friction especially the road pavement becomes wet surface. In this research, the Dynamic Friction Tester (DFT) was used to measure friction values of various kinds of seven different surface materials before and after polishing by the Three Wheel Polishing Device (TWPD). Those samples were control (regular asphalt), regular asphalt plus 5 % natural rubber, slurry seal, para slurry seal, epoxy resin (HFST), red skid (cold plastic painting road) and modified red skid (cold plastic painting road plus aggregates). The data from DFT will import to Program the Microsoft Excel and using this software to graphically plot a parameter of friction (μ) at specified circles. The ANOVA test was used to indicate a relation among the different kinds of sample surface treatments. This study was found three surface applications including slurry seal, para slurry seal and epoxy resin could not resist the three-wheel polishing device and failed before reach5,000 cycles. The ranking of four surface applications which could resist till 60,000 cycles is a control sample, 5 % natural rubber, modified red skid and the last is a red skid application. |
