Enhancing road safety through improved skid resistance is a critical endeavor in preventing accidents and promoting secure driving conditions. This study delves into the investigation of skid resistance in asphalt pavements using digital holography, focusing on macro and microtexture attributes. By employing off-axis digital holography, the paper presents a novel method to accurately measure surface profiles and assess friction properties. The experimental setup leverages single-shot dual-wavelength holography, providing precise 3D topographic information. The study demonstrates how the obtained phase information aids in deriving surface profiles and subsequently determining friction coefficients. The approach overcomes limitations of conventional methods, offering micron-level accuracy for surface roughness measurements. Through experimental results, the versatility of adjusting measurement accuracy and range based on requirements is showcased. The paper concludes by highlighting the interplay between surface features and friction characteristics, paving the way for improved road safety assessment.
