abstract = "The interactions between tire and pavement are important to improve highway safety. This study aims to explore the effect of friction coefficient of pavement on braking distance with finite element analysis. Simulations were performed with models of a tire rolling on pavement with different friction conditions. The analysis also simulated the scenario of anti-lock brake system (ABS) for comparison. It was found that ABS reduced 10∼15% braking distance. The designed pavement with alternate friction strips of 1.0 and 1.5 friction coefficient also reduced braking distances. The braking distance was found also affected by the width and layout of the strips. The results concluded that pavement friction is the dominant factor of braking distance on highway.",
