Measurement of skidding resistance is not yet universally harmononised despite a number of attempts such as FEHRL's HERMES project.[3] The European Standards Organisation (CEN)has been working on the topic for many years through its committee CEN/TC 227 - Road materials.[4] Contributions to this were made through the FP7 Tyrosafe project[5] which aims to raise awareness, to coordinate and prepare for European harmonisation and to optimise the assessment and management of essential tyre/road interaction parameters in order to increase safety and support greening of road transport.
