TRB Webinar: Measurement and Evaluation of Pavement Splash and Spray
174556

TRB Webinar: Measurement and Evaluation of Pavement Splash and Spray

TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET on evaluating splash and spray on various pavement surface types. Splash and spray are generated when vehicles traveling down a wet road displace the water either in bulk (splash) or in a more finely divided form (spray). Splash and spray can directly affect driving safety by limiting visibility and causing skids. Therefore, it is important to properly measure the amount of splash and spray on different surface types.

This webinar was requested by the TRB Standing Committee on Pavement Surface Properties and Vehicle Interaction. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.

Here are the slides
