STUDY OF ROAD SURFACE INDICES FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF TIRE/ROAD NOISE

Tyre/road noise level depends on tyre tread pattern and on the technical and operational conditions of the road surface. The Statistical Pass-By method (SPB) described in ISO Standard is recognized as one of two basic methods suitable for evaluation of noise generated by passing cars. Most of the noise registered by the SPB method originates from tyre/road noise interaction. Thus, the results obtained by SPB method may be used to evaluate road surfaces in respect to their influence on tyre/road noise and on noise propagation over the surface. The paper will present results of SPB measurements carried out in Poland on bituminous and block pavements surfaces both for passenger cars and trucks. In addition a few results of Controlled Pass-By (CPB) tests for selected passenger cars (Fiat Sienna, Renault Laguna and Ford Mondeo) on wet and dry surfaces for rolling speeds from 50 to 110 km/h in steps of 10 km/h will be presented. The paper will also address influence of some local particularities (like traffic composition, vehicle condition) on SPB results. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E113232.
