Decade of Action for Road Safety – The Role for Road Surface Friction 3rd International Road Surface Friction Conference 2011
Possible Outcomes • Research to establish the extent of the problem in developing countries • Action to raise awareness of the extent of the problem and potential benefits • Guide to best practice for developing countries • Training to support the guide • Future International Road Friction Conference to have a focus on developing countries • Investigation and validation of techniques to compensate for good surfacing materials – water blasting, grooving • Actions to improve tyre management e.g. better awareness of benefits of correct inflation, more widespread inspection (especially public transport)
