Digital Intelligent Readout

The BM-V integrates an on-board digital display to simplify result reading and improve operational efficiency during routine skid resistance testing in both laboratory and field environments.

Road, Runway, and Marking Surface Testing

Suitable for measuring friction coefficient on road pavements, airport runways, and painted traffic marking surfaces, supporting safety evaluation, acceptance checks, and maintenance benchmarking.

Easy Setup with Minimal Traffic Interruption

The instrument is easy to adjust and operate, enabling fast on-site deployment while keeping interference with active traffic lanes comparatively low during test execution.

Stable Data for Indoor or Outdoor Use

Provides stable and repeatable data in both indoor and outdoor testing conditions, and typical pavement friction results can also be referenced in tire compound development studies.
