Friction Plus by ADE mobile phone app

Wednesday, 21 August, 2019 | Supplied by: Australian Diversified Engineering (ADE)


Friction Plus by ADE is a mobile phone app that has been developed for miners to measure the coefficient of friction on a mine site’s haul roads. The app is designed to improve operations and lower the risk of water truck and wet weather-related transportation incidents.

The app allows users to measure friction and was developed by Queensland-based Australian Diversified Engineering for use with the RoadSafety Training Services (RTS) Mine Road Surface Friction Assessment System, a protocol intended to aid in the control of haul road conditions and promotion of consistent maintenance of transport networks on mine sites. The app is intended to be used in conjunction with the road friction protocol, which categorises friction values into four risk levels.
