This report describes the construction of and applications for two research facilities located at the Pennsylvania Transportation Research Facilities: the Pavement Roughness Research Facility and the Skid Resistance Research Facility. These facilities were developed as a part of a larger project, Research Project 82-11, 'Fourth Cycle of Research at the Pennsylvania Transportation Research Facility.' The Pavement Roughness Research Facility consists of an 800-ft-long sinusoidal surface, which can be used to calibrate profilometers and response-type road roughness measurement systems. The Skid Resistance Research Facility includes eight test surfaces (skid pads), 6 ft wide by 200 ft long, which can be used to correlate the measurements of a road friction tester (skid tester) with a reference system.
