... The goal of the data collection effort was to develop a comprehensive database on the existing test sections to help in analyzing relationships between friction, texture, and noise. The database was envisioned to include the following types of data: • Design Data – Structure/Joint Design -- Traffic, cross-section (materials and thicknesses)

... Texture, Friction, and Noise Testing of Existing Texture Test Sections Field Testing Protocol The following specific texture, friction, and noise tests (and their corresponding outputs) were planned for the selected test sections: • Texture (macro-texture)
