Friction Insights

For more than 50 years, W.D.M. Limited has helped deliver safer roads through the continuous measurement of road surface friction.

The importance of the relationship between the road surface and vehicles cannot be understated – it is the foundation of every safe system.

As the manufacturer and operator of SCRIM® road survey vehicles, WDM® has helped transportation authorities around the globe integrate continuous pavement friction data into asset management decision making. The resulting pavement friction management policies and programs have, in turn, reduced skid related fatalities by up to 40%, saving thousands of lives.

WDM® has created Friction Insights across the Company’s global websites to provide access to applied research and informative articles that spotlight the vital role pavement friction management, using continuous pavement friction measurement, plays in making the world’s roads safer.

WDM® is sharing these insights to make a difference and to deliver safer roads, saving lives.  WDM® – We Deliver More.
