This parameter is a fundamental measure of the slip resistance between a vehicle's tires and the road surface, directly affecting the vehicle's ability to maintain control and traction. To assess this coefficient accurately, a specialized device known as Grip Tester is used.
The Grip Tester is a tool designed to measure the friction between a vehicle's tires and the road. The higher the coefficient of friction, the better the road's ability to provide traction, which is essential for preventing skidding and ensuring safe handling, especially in adverse weather conditions.
The obtained results allow the identification of areas with low friction levels, which may indicate worn pavement or hazardous conditions. This information guides road maintenance and improvement decisions, significantly contributing to the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
