Abstract
Permeable Friction Courses (PFC) are asphalt mixtures characterized by high air void contents that are used as surface layers in conventional pavements, principally to achieve safer roads and control noise pollution. This paper summarizes existing information related to the performance of PFC mixtures in the United States (US), including properties of the mixture that determine the durability and functionality of the pavement and mix design methodologies that are currently being used in the US. The objective of this work is not only to analyze this information but also to identify current and future challenges to enhance the performance of PFC mixtures and promote its responsible use.
