The frictional attributes of high friction surface treatment (HFST) play a crucial role in ensuring optimal traffic safety, particularly in wet weather conditions. Friction consists of two important components: adhesion and hysteresis. This research focuses on evaluating these essential factors in HFST using two different aggregates and two distinct sizes by considering various abrasion and polishing methods. To isolate these components for assessment, testing was carried out under various slippery conditions, including dry, wet with water, and wet with water + soap. The inclusion of liquid hand soap in the test procedure effectively minimized or even eliminated the adhesion component’s influence, making it possible to primarily focus on the hysteresis component. Consequently, the British Pendulum Number (BPN) measured in this research predominantly reflected the hysteresis-related friction. The analysis of variance results emphasized the substantial impact of different abrasion and polishing methods on the BPN values obtained under various surface conditions. Notably, Micro-Deval Abrasion (MDA) with 105, 180, and 240 min abrasion exhibited the most pronounced influence on BPN variation and the higher F-value for the MDA 105 min indicated that this specific abrasion time exerted a more significant influence on the variation in BPN values than other factors. Furthermore, the utilization of the Aggregate Image Measurement System yielded valuable insights into the micro-texture of the aggregates. It revealed that the calcined bauxite HFST size is anticipated to provide the rougher surface morphology (texture) on a pavement surface compared with other sources in this study, thereby contributing to high pavement surface friction. The findings from this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the frictional characteristics of HFST under different scenarios, providing valuable insights for optimizing HFST applications to enhance road safety and skid resistance.
