ViaFriction

ViaFriction is a system developed by ViaTech to measure a friction on pavements (highways / airports). Friction is the force that resists the moment between vehicle / aircraft tires and pavement / runway surfaces.

On runways, while landing aircraft’s tire deposit rubber on the runways which results into low friction at the surface thus increasing its breaking distance. This leads to overrun of aircraft, leading to serious accidents resulting huge losses.

Considering this, most of the aviation authorities across the globe has mandated use of Friction measurement device at the runways.

ViaTech has already established its name for manufacturing of frictional devices which carry out the measurement by both of the  fixed / variable slip method and measures the friction coefficient by longitudinal force in a Continuous Friction Measurement System (CFMS).

The ViaFriction devices are used for measurement of friction in around 6 airports in Norway and Denmark. ViaTech offers the device which can measure friction in summer as well as winter conditions on runways.

On same lines ViaFriction device is used to measure friction / skid factor on highways. This is a safety requirement mandated by highways authorities as skidding of vehicles is one of major cause of accidents resulting in major fatalities and losses.

ViaTech has supplied more than 200 friction measurement devices for highway authorities all around the globe
