NOISE GENERATED BY AN AGGREGATION OF VEHICLES INTERACTING WITH THIRTEEN DIFFERENT ROAD SURFACES

The paper discusses results of a study in tire/pavement interaction noise from a control car's tires, control truck's tires and an aggregation of tires from the general traffic flow while interacting with thirteen different transverse tine spacings applied to a Portland Cement Concrete Pavement. The study investigated the magnitude of the difference in noise levels from randomly selected vehicles going from surface to surface. This would give an indication of the true or real world decibel appreciation of a given surface when an aggregation of tires is considered. Among the conclusions drawn from the study is that the difference in noise level of all the tread patterns encountered were small compared to the difference in noise level when going from texture to texture.
