Skiddometer BV11 Continuous Pavement Friction Measurement System (CFME)

Skiddometer BV11 is a Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment (CFME) system designed to evaluate pavement friction based on actual measurement data. It continuously assesses pavement skid resistance along the survey route, providing a more objective approach than relying solely on visual inspection.

The system records measurement data along with GPS positioning and map information, enabling users to identify locations with low friction values and use the data for analysis and infrastructure maintenance planning.

Suitable Applications

• Roads and highways
• Expressways and transportation networks
• Airport runways
• Pavement condition surveys and assessments
• Infrastructure maintenance and management planning

Pavement friction directly affects the tire-to-road surface grip. Even when pavement appears to be in good condition, friction can decrease due to traffic, weather conditions, water on the pavement, or material deterioration.

During rainfall or sudden braking, low pavement friction can increase the risk of skidding and compromise road-user safety.

Skiddometer BV11 helps transform pavement condition assessment from estimation and visual inspection into data-driven engineering decision-making.

Key Features of Skiddometer BV11

• Continuous Friction Measurement
  Continuously measures pavement friction along the entire survey route, providing more comprehensive coverage than point-based measurements.
• GPS Positioning
  Records measurement data with GPS coordinates, allowing low-friction areas to be accurately located and analyzed spatially.
• Map-Based Data Visualization
  Displays measurement results together with map data, making it easier to analyze pavement conditions and measurement locations.
• Data Export
• Supports data export in PDF and CSV formats for further analysis, data management, and reporting.
• Road & Runway Inspection
• Supports friction measurement for roads, highways, expressways, and airport runways, helping improve infrastructure safety management.
