Utilizing our industry-standard (), – collects precise friction data on pavement networks. The locked wheel SFT simulates a vehicle in a skid with locked wheels, capturing a continuous 59-foot friction measurement every 250 feet. This high-resolution testing method delivers critical insights for pavement managers working to improve roadway safety.
With over 60 years of proven reliability, the locked wheel SFT remains the gold standard for friction testing.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, insufficient pavement friction is a key factor in roadway departure crashes. Proactively identifying and addressing low-friction areas across your network is a proven strategy for reducing accidents and enhancing road safety.
