Summary of Test Method3.1 The test apparatus consists of a passenger vehicle with four wheels.4 The apparatus contains transducers, instrumentation,and a brake system for the four test wheels.ABS must no

The test vehicle is brought above the desired test speed and is permitted to coastonto the wetted section until the prope

Significance and Use4.1 The knowledge of vehicle stopping distance serves as an additional tool in characterizing the pavement surface skidresistance. When used in conjunction with other physical and chem

18、ical tests, the skid resistance values derived from this testmethod may determine the suitability and adequacy of paving materials or finishing techniques. Improvements in pavementmaintenance practices and schedules may result from use of this test method.4.2 The stopping distance values measured by

19、 this test method with the equipment and procedures stated herein do notnecessarily agree or correlate directly with other methods of skid-resistance measurements.5,6 This test method is suitable forresearch and development purposes, where direct comparison between pavement surfaces are to be made w

27、ke system to actuate the stopping-distance counter.6. Calibration6.1 SpeedCalibrate the test-vehicle speed indicator at the test speed by determining the time for traversing at constant speeda reasonably level and straight, accurately measured pavement at least 0.5 mile 0.8 km in length. Make a mini

28、mum of two speeddeterminations at the test speed. The speed shall be accurate to within 61 mph 61.5 km/h and repeatable to within 62 mph63.0 km/h when calibrated at 40 mph 65 km/h.6.2 DistanceCalibrate the distance transducer and counter by traversing at the approximate test speed a reasonably level

29、 andstraight, accurately measured pavement at least 0.5 mile 0.8 km in length. Initiate the calibration from a complete stop at thebeginning of the test course and terminate it by stopping at the end of the test course. Distance counter over 0.5-mile 0.8-km testcourse shall be within 63.0 ft 61.0 m

30、and repeatable to within a range of 64.0 ft 61.2 m when calibrated at 40 mph 65 km/h.Perform a minimum of two distance calibrations.6.3 Pressure-Sensitive SwitchSelect a pressure-sensitive switch responding to the specified pressure by testing in a hydraulicsystem equipped with a calibrated pressure

31、 transducer or gage having an accuracy of 63 % of the applied pressure.7. General7.1 Test VehicleCondition new tires by running them at rated inflation pressure on the test vehicle (or a similar vehicle) at amaximum speed of 50 mph 80 km/h for a distance not less than 200 miles 320 km before they ar

32、e used for test purposes.Afterconditioning, dynamically balance all tire and wheel assemblies. Inspect the tires for flat spots, damage, or other irregularities thatmay affect test results, and reject tires that have been damaged or worn beyond the wear line. The tire inflation pressure shall be24 6

33、 0.5 psi 165 6 3.5 kPa at ambient temperature (cold). Prior to each series of tests, warm-up the tires by traveling for at least5 miles 8 km at normal traffic speeds.5 Rizenbergs, R. L., “Florida Skid Correlation Study of 1967-Skid Testing with Automobiles,” Highway Skid Resistance, ASTM STP 456, AS

C., Measuring Road Surface Slipperiness, ASTM STP 366, ASTM, 1965.E445/E445M 1527.2 Test SectionsTest sections shall be defined as segments of the highway having a pavement of uniform age and uniformcomposition that has been subjected to essentially uniform

35、wear along its length. For instance, do not include sharp curves andsteep grades in the same test section with level tangent sections, and do not include passing lanes with traffic lanes. Make stoppingdistance measurements only on pavements that are free of obvious or unusual contamination.7.3 Test

36、SitesTest sites shall be defined as segments of test sections selected for stopping distance measurement, and shallinclude traffic lanes, or passing lanes, in both directions of travel.7.4 Lateral Positioning of Test Vehicle on HighwayNormally, perform test in the center of the wheel tracks of a tra

37、ffic laneof a highway. A stopping distance number may be quoted without qualification only if the test vehicle was so positioned duringthe test. If during the test, the vehicle moves outside the wheel tracks for more than 20 % of the stopping distance, or terminatesskidding off of the test lane, voi

38、d the test. If testing cannot be conducted in the prescribed manner, identify the test data accordingly.7.5 Test SpeedThe standard test speed shall be 40 mph 65 km/h. Tests may be made at other speeds but not less than 20 mph32 km/h. Initiate tests within 61.0 mph 61.5 km/h of the desired speed.7.5.

39、1 When the test speed is 40 mph 65 km/h, it is desirable, but not necessary, to cite the speed when quoting the test data.For all other speeds, including test speeds above 40 mph 65 km/h, the speed must be recorded. This may be done by adding tothe symbol as a subscript the numerals of the test spee

40、d in mph, that is, SDN30, or SD30, indicates stopping distance number, orstopping distance, at a test speed of 30 mph 48 km/h.8. Procedure8.1 Distance Counter ReadingSet the distance counter to zero prior to testing and record the total counts accumulated duringthe skid. If a strip-chart recorder is

41、 used for the purpose of measuring stopping distance, the recorded pulses may be counted later,but properly mark the chart or have the brake switch apply a mark to the chart when the switch closes.8.2 Pavement WettingWet the test lane at the test site just prior to skid testing using a water wagon e

42、quipped with spray baror other means of distributing water evenly and rapidly. Make two or more applications of water with a minimum coverage of 0.015gal/ft2 0.6 L/m2 6 15% per application until the surface is well-saturated (surface cavities are filled with water and runoff results).Wet a sufficien

43、tly long segment of the test lane to permit the test vehicle to skid on a wet surface and to allow the driver to adjustthe speed before brake application. Rewet the test lane between each test as required to maintain similar wetness conditions.8.3 After the pavement in the test lane is wetted, bring

44、 the vehicle above the desired test speed and permit it to coast(transmission gear in neutral) onto the wetted section until the proper speed is attained. Apply the brakes promptly and forcefullyto cause quick lockup of the wheels and to maintain a locked-wheel condition until the vehicle comes to a

45、 stop. Note the speedat the moment of brake application.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the stopping-distance number for each test as follows:Inch-pound units:SDN5V2/30 SD! 3100 (1)Metric units:SDN5V2/255 SD! 3100# (2)where:V = speed of test vehicle at the moment of brake application, mph km/h, andSD =

46、stopping distance, ft m, (total count feet metres per count).9.2 The test results may also be expressed in terms of stopping distance, SD, in feet (or metres). Stopping distance obtainedwithin the permissible speed deviation may be corrected to the desired test speed by the following equation:Correc

Number of Tests and Retests10.1 Skid Resistance of a Test SectionPerform at least three measurements of stopping distance in each test lane at a giventest site and at each selected test speed. Test no less than two sites in a test section. Consi

48、der the arithmetic average of the stoppingdistance numbers, or stopping distances, to the skid resistance of the test site. Consider the arithmetic average of the determinationfor test sites to be the skid resistance of the test section. If statistical or other criteria applied to the stopping dista

For treatment ofthe results of faulty tests see 10.3.10.2 Skid Resistance of a Single LaneIf the skid resistance of a single lane at a given test site must be known, perform at leastsix measurements of stopping distance at each specified test speed.E445/E445M 15310.3 Faulty TestTests that are manifestly faulty or that give stopping distance numbers differing by more th
