Abstract
An initial feasibility study indicated that the "Purdue Accelerated Polishing Method" gave repeatable results when testing the skid resistance of laboratory specimens. The results also showed a rough correlation with the field performance of the same aggregate sources. The research was then expanded to include all available asphalt aggregates. The results of the expanded study indicated that the method is not presently capable of developing and measuring the full skid potential of the various aggregate sources. Further research in the area of polishing times and/or pressures is needed.
