Abstract

The carriageway surfacing consists of grooving (5) with grooves (1) 1 mm - 10 mm deep and 5 mm - 300 mm wide that are arranged along the necessary width of the road (2) while the grooves (1) are made at the angle .alpha. 0° -90° towards the longitudinal axis (3) of the road (2).

Description

Carriageway Surfacing Technical Field This invention relates to the carriageway surfacing.
Backgound Art The roads have been still more and more smoothened due to both the vehicle and pedestrian movement. This results in reduction of roughness of their surface and therefore in decreased friction coefficient while dry and particularly while wet when the braking distance of vehicles turns longer. These negative effects appear on the road particularly due to goods traffic when overloaded goods vehicles wear considerably the road surface. This results in deformation of the upper surface of the road on which cracks, longitudinal ruts and surface smoothening are apparent.
Water collects in the lowest parts of the ruts in rain. It is also collected even on flat surfaces all-over the road width due to its incorrect declivity. Water outflow in the tyre tread grooves of a vehicle starts to be insufficient at the speeds exceeding 70 km/h and therefore a water film is formed. The vehicle begins to float, tyres lose their adhesion and there is the risk of skidding. On the older roads that are sloped in the direction to both shoulders, the goods vehicles incline always to the right. This results in the more extensive loading of the right tire contact area of the vehicle that is smoothed and rutted more than the left one. When the vehicles move on such damaged roads, the friction coefficient in the right tire contact area is lower and the vehicles tend to oversteer to the left and therefore there is the risk of a frontal collision with an oncoming vehicle in case of skidding. Said negative effect of the vehicle is apparent on all types of roads fitted with asphalt, concrete and granite surfaces. It is caused with the fact that the friction coefficient is reduced spontaneously year by year and therefore safety of vehicle movement on the roads is also worsened. Said conditions are improved mainly so that the new layers of asphaltic bitumen, asphaltic concrete and mastic asphalt are performed on the roads. In some cases, longitudinal ruts are locally milled out up to the depth of 5 cm - 10 cm and partial bituminous carpets having higher surface roughness are then put on. Said finishing is, nevertheless, expensive, lengthy and cumbersome. The adversary conditions may be also improved by a longitudinal milling out the road using large planning cutters that are able to remove the longitudinal ruts; nevertheless, the unevenly grooves appear on the road that are the source of noticeable noise. Moreover, stones can be released from the surface of the roads treated in this way and this result in certain risk to the drivers and pedestrians.
Disclosure of Invention The disadvantages mentioned above are eliminated to the certain extent by the carriageway surfacing according to this invention, the nature of which consists in that the surfacing is formed by grooving having the grooves 1 mm - 10 mm deep and 5 mm - 300 mm wide that are finished to the necessary width directly on the road while the groves are made at the angle a 0 to 90° towards the longitudinal axis of the road.
The advantage of the grooved profile applied on the road is that it ensures the minimum destruction of the upper layer of the road. Another advantage is that sufficient roughness is ensured in case of very smooth road surfaces and, vice versa, very rough surfaces can be sufficiently smoothened. The grooved profile of the road is not liable to auto-destruction due to frozen rain precipitation in the milled Olit profile. The coated contact surface of the milled out profile is in the same height as the surface of the road coated layer. Another advantage is the fact that the grooved profile is noiseless and that its width is about 30 cm and can be changed on demand.
Said profiles are milled into the road at the angle a 0° - 90°
towards the longitudinal axis of the road. The grooved profiles can be milled out without or with gaps sized from 1 cm up to several dozen of meters. All types of the known surfaces from which the roads are made can be finished with milling.
Carriageway surfacing enables formation of the draining noiseless profile that consists of grooving made of grooves having the shape of a rectangle 1 mm - 8 mm deep and 15 mm - 50 mm wide while the gap between the adjacent grooves is 10 mm - 200 mm and the total grooving width is 100 mm - 300 mm and the distance between two adjacent grooving is at least 0.01 m.
In order to increase surface roughness, the carriageway surfacing is formed by grooving consisting of the uniformly arranged, wave-shaped grooves 1 mm - 5 mm deep and 5 mm - 15 mm wide while grooving width is 100 mm - 300 mm. Said arrangement ensures the uniform roughness of the profile featuring with maximum skidproof effect in the depth of 1 mm - 5 mm. The grooved profile ensures minimum destruction of the upper layer of the road. It is not liable to auto-destruction due to the water frozen in the profile. The coated contact surface of the profile milled out is in the same height as the coated surface of the road. This results in profile noiseless.
Carriageway surfacing consisting of the retarding profile ensures that the audible alarm informs about the dangerous parts of the road. This is enabled by grooves having the shape of the rectangular trapezoid with legs A, B and C, D
of 300 mm and 1.5 mm - 3 mm long, respectively.
In order to reduce the risk of skidding on the decks of bridges, carriage surfacing is fitted with the uniformly arranged grooves having the shape of a sawtooth oscillation 6 mm deep and 5 mm - 20 mm wide while the gap between the adjacent grooves is between 100 mm and 250 mm and the total grooving width is 200 mm - 500 mm and the distance between two adjacent grooving is at least 0.01 m. This arrangement enables that the chemical material spread over the road is kept better in the deep grooves that serves then as the salt brine source. The groove profile is designed so that its drainage along a level line is as small as possible, i.e. that the solution of water and salt formed - so called salt brine - can be kept in a groove that serves as the sort of a container. This enhances significantly the effect of the chemical material spread onto the bridge decks.
In order to reduce noisiness of concrete surfaces, the surface layer of the road is covered with a flushing profile that consists of grooving with randomly arranged V-shaped grooves or channels 1 mm - 3 mm deep and 1.5 mm - 5 mm wide while the gap between the adjacent grooves is 1 mm - 5 mm. Said arrangement ensure smoothing of sharp edges that are formed when the surface of concrete upper layer of the road is roughened. The flushing profile helps to remove the highest unevenness (at least 1 mm) formed on the road surfaces. This helps to reduce noisiness of the road and therefore also weariness of drivers. Another advantage is also that this finishing helps to reach better drainage of the road. Another advantage is also that -after the above-mentioned profile is applied onto the road - building of noise barriers can be significantly reduced, particularly inside inhabited localities; this results in the increased hygienic utility of the road.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment The preferred embodiment of the carriageway surfacing is described using the three-lane road, see Fig. 1. This surfacing consists of grooving 5 made on its upper layer 6 with grooves 1 having the changeable width s 5 mm - 300 mm and depth h mm - 10 mm while the total width s' of grooving 5 is 300 mm. The grooves 1 are made at the angle a 0° - 90° towards the longitudinal axis 3 of the road 2. Grooving 5 of the upper layer 6 of the road 2 is made with the distance 7 of 3-m gaps in the emergency stopping lane and with the distance 7 of 6-m gaps in the slow lane while the fast lane is without any grooving 5.
The carriageway surfacing according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 consists of the noiseless drainage profile. Said profile consists of grooving 5 made on its upper layer 6 with unevenly wide grooves 1 having the depth h 1 mm - 5 mm and the changeable width s 10 mm - 50 mm, with the gap 12 between the adjacent grooves mm - 200 mm. The total width s of grooving 5 is 300 mm and the grooves 1 are made at the angle a 0° - 90° towards the axis 3 of the road 2 in the travel direction.
The function of the grooved noiseless drainage profile is apparent from Fig.
2. Water 10 is directed from the road 2 towards its edges and out of it due to the movement of tyres on the profile. The tyres act in this case as blades of a rotary pump.
Due to the movement of tyres on said profile, the latter is simultaneously self cleaned.
The carriageway surfacing according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 consists of the roughened profile consisting of grooving 5 made on its upper layer 6 with uniformly wide wave-shaped grooves 1 having the depth h 1 mm - 15 mm and the width s 3 mm - 4 mm. The total width s' of grooving 5 is 300 mm and the grooves 1 are made at the angle a 0°- 90° towards the axis 3 of the road 2 in the travel direction. The function of the roughened profile is apparent from Fig. 3. Edges 8 of grooves 1 of grooving 5 engage the tyre and thus ensure necessary friction. Due to the movement of tyres across said grooving 5, the self cleaning of the profile is performed and noise reduced.
The carriageway surfacing according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 consists of the retarding profile consisting of grooving 5 made on its upper layer 6 with the groove 1 having the shape of the rectangular trapezoid with legs A, B and C, D of 300 mm and 1.5 mm - 10 mm long, respectively. The function of the retarding profile is as follows. Depth h of the profile being 1.5 mm - 10 mm enables the tyre to reach the bottom of said profile. The tyres move along said bottom and at its end they impact onto a barrier - the edge 10 of said profile having the depth h, for example, 10 mm, and roll over said edge 10. Due to said impact, the acoustic effect is formed that informs the driver about a risky place on the road and simultaneously helps to reduce vehicle speed because the driver applied the brake subconsciously.

The carriageway surfacing according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 consists of the salt brine profile consisting of grooving 5 made on its upper layer 6 with the uniformly arranged grooves 1 having the shape of a sawtooth oscillation which depth h is 5 mm - 15 mm and width s 5 mm - 15 mm while the gap 12 between the adjacent grooves 1 is between 100 mm and 300 mm and the total width s' of grooving 5 is between 200 mm and 500 mm. The distance 7 between the adjacent two grooving 5 is at least 0.01 m. Function of the salt brine profile is as follows. The bridge deck fitted with said profile is preventively covered with a chemical material that is deposited into the grooves 1. Grooving 5 is performed so that its drainage profile is as low as possible, i.e. that the salt brine remains in the groves 1. This is ensured due to the shape of the groove 1 that is designed so that the salt brine remains in the groove 1 while the rest of the road is dry. At snow or freezing rain, the water penetrates into the grooves 1 containing salt brine. The salt brine level goes up and is distributed along the bridge deck by tyres of the travelling vehicles. This eliminates the risk that the chemical material will be applied late and therefore the road will be icy. In case that the grooves 1 are already empty and icing is formed on the bridge deck, the edges 11 of grooves 1 serves as a skiddproof protection.
The carriageway surfacing according to Fig. 1, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 consists of the flushing profile consisting of grooving S made on its upper layer 6 with V-shaped grooves or channels 1 mm - 3 mm deep and 1.5 mm - 5 mm wide while the distance 12 between the adjacent grooves 1 is 1 mm - 5 mm. Due to the slight grinding of unevenness formed on the upper layer 6 of the road 2, the gaps 12 between the individual grooves 1 are flushed; this helps to reduce noise formed when the tyres roll over the uneven surface. The function of the flush profile is as follows.
After the great number of the sharp edges and unevenness are removed and many smooth surfaces are formed between the grooves, noise that can be heard in the vehicle interior is reduced. This results also in reducing of the total road noisiness per se when the vehicle tyres roll over the above-mentioned profile.

Industrial Applicability The carriageway surfacing can be applied on any road as a protective means in order to reduce the number of risky places on the roads formed due to atmospheric effects or reduced roughness or deformation on their surfaces or formation of longitudinal ruts.
