| Abstract | Meeting the required friction demand at curves is a challenge; vehicles require even greater friction on wet road surfaces, making curves more susceptible to crashes. High Friction Surface Treatments (HFST) are pavement treatments that use bauxite and epoxy binder to provide long-lasting and skid-resistant properties to the roadway. |
