Abstract:

In the fall of 2003, NCAT conducted a study to determine the tire/pavement noise characteristics of 13 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and 6 Portland Cement Concrete Pavements (PCCP) in Colorado. In the fall of 2004, NCAT was asked to conduct another tire/pavement noise study for the Colorado DOT. Fifteen HMA and six PCCP surfaces were tested. In addition a short PCC pavement test section built to evaluate various textures was evaluated. In 2005 NCAT was asked to test the same sites that were tested in 2004. This paper provides the results of the 2003, 2004, and 2005 testing. This testing was done by NCAT using a close proximity noise trailer that was built in accordance with the requirements of ISO Standard 11819-2. It was found in this study that the noise levels of both the HMA and the PCCP pavements in Colorado do increase with age, but at a very slow rate and that the rate of increase varies with the pavement type tested.
