As part of the Department’s core mission to provide a safe highway system, the Pavement Friction Program requires the use of a Dynamic Friction Tester for collection of mission critical pavement friction data for monitoring, assessment, and reporting on the condition, performance, and safety of Florida’s roadways and infrastructures. This is in compliance with the Federal Highway Administration’s National Guidelines given in the 1980 Skid Accident Reduction Program (t-5040.17), and the 2009 AASHTO Guide for Pavement Friction. Information collected from the equipment is used for determining appropriate roadway safety maintenance strategies for areas of low friction and supports district safety offices to enhance operational safety. Equipment is computer based and significantly reduces operator error with enhanced precision and accuracy capability. This is a portable type instrument and is easy to carry.
