Together with Innovatum and Energikontor Väst, we organise a webinar about sustainable ways to build sustainable mobility infrastructure. It takes place online the 6th of May at 10 am.
You are welcome to register until the 4th of May (in Swedish).
We are happy that our final report for the Skyltfonden-financed project to investigate the frictional properties of wooden pavements as been approved for release.
The main outcome is that all is not what it seems when it comes to the influence of fibre direction on friction and that moisture content is a determining factor influencing how slippery such a surface can become.
It is confirmed that wood is a great surface for safe traffic, performing flawlessly when dry, and clearing the requirements when designed and maintained properly. This means it is an outstanding candidate to replace environmentally-damaging established solutions, in particular in lightweight traffic conditions.
Results will help in our continuous development of safe active mobility infrastructure.
An English version of the report will be released shortly.
Since the New Year, MCN has the chance of being part of Innovatum’s start-up incubator in Trollhättan.
Thanks to Sonja Andrén and the whole team to help us along the way towards climate-neutral, safety-enhancing active mobility infrastructure.
Today, we have received our brand new and calibrated Skid Resistance Tester, an established device to measure friction properties of various surface.
This is part of the Skyltfonden-financed project to establish friction data on wood-rubber interactions, with a focus on angle of interaction (vs wood fibre direction).
To test our skills and new device, we ran a series of measurement on a typical Swedish varnished oak flooring. Check the results below. Conditions were dry.
ModC Networks AB är nu medlem i InfraSweden 2030 ett strategiskt innovationsprogram inom transportinfrastruktur.
Där samlas spetskompetens inom vårt kompetensområdet och det är en stor ära att kunna vara med och bidra i sammanhanget på vår resa mot klimatneutral och motståndskraftig infrastruktur.
