Abstract
Skid resistance is one of the major road pavement characteristics, which determines the friction between the road surface and vehicle tire.
It is a crucial road surface characteristic to ensure sufficient road safety. The article gives a study of the parameters influencing skid
resistance. Number of different methods and devices which are currently being used in practice to measure skid resistance both in the
laboratory and in-situ in different countries were overviewed in this paper. As a result of the evaluation of skid resistance characteristics
and measurement methods, the paper provides recommendations for skid resistance measurement suitability and applicability for
Lithuanian road network.
Keywords: skid resistance; measurement methods; devices.
