Pavement surface noise resource manual
For just about all vehicles in a reasonable state of maintenance, tyre/road interaction represents the primary source of noise for all constant speeds in excess of around 40 to 50 kilometres per hour. Consequently, one of the very effective means of controlling road traffic noise at the source is to vary the pavement surface type. The acoustic performance of various pavement surface types has been scientifically investigated in Queensland. In these investigations, collection of the required road pavement surface noise data was undertaken according to what is known as the statistical passby technique. These data have been analysed to determine the Statistical Passby Index (SPBI) for each of the road pavement surface types. The outcomes of these investigations have been fully documented in the QDMR Pavement Surface Noise Resource Manual (PSNRM). (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
