S30083 Skid surveys and MSP Support 2026+

National Highways commissions skid resistance and other routine surveys to provide

data on pavement condition. These data are used to inform maintenance decisions and

to report on the condition of the network through KPI 3.1 (Pavement Condition).

This project will facilitate the use and interpretation of skid resistance data and

improvements to relevant standards. This includes assessing trends in skid resistance

and producing the correction factors (LECFs) to reduce the influence of seasonal

variation on skid resistance data. The production of LECFs is described in CS 228.

The project will also maintain and update the Machine Survey Pre-processor (MSP) tool

that is used by our supply chain to process data from surface and structural condition

surveys into a format that is suitable to be loaded into P-AMS, where it is made

available to users.
