content name:
  Specimens of typical road aggregates were photographed, using a line scan camera system, before and after artificial polishing. Images of the aggregates in the different states of polish were examined automatically, by developing bespoke software, to assess if a change in the microtexture could be detected and linked to the measured change in friction on the specimen surface. The method for analysis, including masking of the image to isolate aggregate surfaces, and the algorithms that examine changes in image intensity, are briefly described. The correlation between parameters determined from image analysis and friction measurements on the specimens is presented.

The similarity algorithm calculates how much two contents in the system are similar to one another. So far, similarity is calculated based on similarity of the project type, area of interest and user type. Generally, if two contents have more parameters in common they are more similar to each another. More information.

While we are still building the FEHRLopedia with the help of experts like yourself, you may find that not all subjects are covered as deeply as you need. Therefore if you don't find the results you are looking for, please try the CERTAIN custom Google search. We would be grateful if you would create new content for the FEHRLopedia from your results. Thanks for your assistance in building the system.
