Purpose of the Standard
Describe how the provision of appropriate levels of skid resistance on in-service UK trunk roads will be managed.
![Page 4: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Objectives of Standard
• Provide a level of skid resistance appropriate to the nature of the road environment at each location
• Maintain a consistent approach to the provision of skid resistance across the trunk road network.
![Page 5: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Philosophical Changes
• It is acknowledged that it is not possible to provide a uniform risk across the network on all sites simply by adjusting the skid resistance.
• The term crash rather than accident is used throughout HD28/11. – This is because an accident can be
considered an act of God with no direct cause whereas most crashes have one or more causes.

Survey Speed
• On Motorways and Dual Carriageway where the posted speed limit is greater than 50mph, the target survey speed is 80km/h.
• On all other roads, the target
survey speed is 50km/h.
![Page 11: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Converting data to SC
• Converting data from SCRIM Readings to SCRIM Coefficient
• Correct for speed– SR(Sp.Corr) = SR(s) +(s*0.279 - 13.97)– SR(s) = SCRIM Reading at speed s– S = speed of SCRIM
• Apply index of SFC – SR*0.0078 = SC

Seasonally Correcting data
• Skid resistance varies throughout the season.
• Skid resistance can also vary from year to year.
• HD28 standard uses the Single Annual SCRIM Survey method to produce a Characteristic SCRIM Coefficient which takes into account within year and between year seasonal variation.
![Page 13: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The CSC method.
CSC METHODCharacteristic SCRIM Coefficient (CSC) is a single-run SC value multiplied by an Equilibrium Correction Factor
The equilibrium correction factor is calculated for each area and is applied to individual 10-metre SC values

Change to the Bend Criteria
• Categories S1 and S2 should be applied only to bends with a speed limit of >=50 mph,
• except if the radius of the bend is <100m, where the S1 and S2 categories shall be applied at all speeds
![Page 16: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Change to Sharp Bends
This acknowledges that it is often not possible to travel > 50mph on bends with radii < 100m but these tight bends still provide a significant risk of wet skidding crashes at lower speeds.
![Page 17: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Initial Investigation
• This section considers the validity of the data and provides a prioritisation process so that resources can be applied to the sites that have the greatest risk of wet skidding crashes occurring.
![Page 18: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Data Validation
• Basic data validation checks are to be conducted for sites that are<= IL. – should include confirming that the IL has
been assigned correctly and that the skid resistance recorded is within the normal range expected.
• If anomalies are found it can result on the sites being removed from further analysis.
![Page 19: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prioritising Valid Sites
• TRL Crash Model• This model utilises crash trends from
historic HA trunk road network data to predict the expected crash saving from the application of a surface treatment.
• The inputs to the model are crash counts for the latest 3 years, CSC values, Site Category, IL and texture depth data. It then produces a score, which can be used to rank the particular site for a detailed site investigation.
![Page 20: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

SITE INVESTIGATION
• Minimum data required on site includes:– mean CSC for the site, – 10m skid resistance data for bends and
roundabouts,– texture depth – last 3 years of crash data as a minimum.
• In addition the following may assist– Rut depth, longitudinal profile, gradient, crossfall and
curvature may be useful data if they are relevant
![Page 22: HD28/11 UK Skid Resistance Standard. HD28 Team Ramesh Sinhal - HA Louise Caldwell - HA Helen Viner – TRL Stuart Brittain – TRL John Donbavand - WDM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f145503460f94c29277/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Signage
• Warning signs shall be erected at sites where the need for treatment to improve skid resistance has been identified
• The effectiveness of slippery road warning signs in reducing crash risk is unclear.
• It is generally accepted that a proliferation of signs reduces the impact of the message and too many signs can simply be seen as clutter.

Avoiding a Proliferation of Signs
• Rule in the standard is that individual lengths requiring warning signs should be merged if they are separated by less than 1km
