Frequency-Domain Temperature Correction of Tire-Pavement Noise
This paper describes the development of temperature correction factors for on-board sound intensity measurements on portland cement concrete pavements. Data were collected at the Minnesota Road Research facility on several test cells where both conventional and innovative surface grinding configurations were applied. The research examined temperature effects in the frequency domain to investigate the effect of temperature on third-octave frequencies in the on-board sound intensity data. This was part of a larger pavement surface characteristics study where noise, friction, texture, and ride quality were measured over a period of five years. A frequency fragmentation approach accentuated the existence of unevenly weighted temperature influence in the frequency domain. The results of this study can aid in making comparisons between sound intensity measurements taken at different temperatures, over long periods of time, and can help minimize seasonal effects when evaluating the effectiveness of a pavement surface related to noise generated by tire-pavement interaction.
