• Abstract:
  This research study on tire-pavement noise is being conducted in response to CDOT's interest in traffic noise in general, and the tire/pavement interaction in particular. Following a rigid set of testing protocols, data is being collected on highway traffic noise characteristics along with safety and durability aspects of the associated pavements. The overall goal of this research project is to develop and execute a comprehensive, long-term study to determine if a particular pavement surface type and/or texture can be successfully used in Colorado to help satisfy FHWA noise mitigation requirements. The study is needed to accomplish the following: Determine the noise generation/reduction characteristics of pavements as functions of pavement type, pavement texture, age, time, traffic loading, and distance away from the pavement; Determine a correlation between source measurements including close-proximity (CPX) and on-board sound intensity(OBSI), and statistical pass-by (SPB) and time-averaged wayside measurements; and Accumulate information that can be used for validation and verification of the accuracy of the FHWA Traffic Noise Model(TNM) to use on future Colorado highway projects.
