A Thruway Skid Cart, developed by W. J. LaFleur for use on the New York Thruway and commercially produced by Testlab, was purchased for evaluation by the Nebraska Department of Roads, Materials and Test Division. In the report, the Thruway Skid Cart is described along with the method of operation and modifications that were made to it. Many disadvantages of the equipment are shown. Results of skid testing on Nebraska's Experimental Asphalt Concrete Project, F-171(12) are presented along with the results of other miscellaneous testing in the State of Nebraska. It is concluded that the Thruway Skid Cart is not suitable for the large volume of testing required in a comprehensive skid testing program. (BPR abstract)
