3.3. Model development

To examine the relationships between skid resistance, temper-

ature and asphalt penetration index, the authors used the concept
of polynomial regression, which has shown results more in line
with test data in the formation of curves. The skid number was ta-
ken as an independent variable, and the temperature and asphalt
penetration index were the dependent variables.
Quadratic polynomial regression models are acceptable for both
high- and low-penetration index asphalt pavements. The data
showed that the curved relationships between the SN and temper-
ature and the SN and asphalt penetration index showed a fairly
strong correlation (R2 = 0.9620.997). In general, the equation is
formed as follows:

Y ij aij X 2ij bij X ij cij 3

where aij, bij and cij are the regression coefcients, i is the coefcient
