ConclusionsThe original PIARC coefficients did not
produce harmonious results for the devices and surfaces tested the original coefficients determined
during the PIARC experiment may need to be adjusted for the devices evaluated before the IFI can be implemented in the participating agencies

Conclusions (cont.)
The results also suggest that that there is a better correlation of the speed gradient, Sp, with macrotexture using a power model than with the linear model used on the original IFI equationsParticularly for the measurements
using smooth tires

Conclusions (cont.)
Preliminary revised coefficients for the participating devices are provided based on the results on the sections tested.
However, it is recommended that these values are verified on other surfaces before implementation.
