Road surface texture: low noise and low rolling resistance: CPX trailer comparison: Copenhagen 2009

A series of measurements was carried out as part of a Nordic project aiming at road surface texture yielding low levels of traffic noise and low tyre rolling resistance. Three CPX-trailers operated by measuring teams from DRI, SINTEF and TUG measured the noise levels from selected reference tyres rolling on the same seven test sections of motorway M10 south of Copenhagen and on seven test sections of urban streets in Copenhagen. Additionally, TUG measured the noise levels from each of four individual standard reference test tyres (SRTTs) belonging to DRI, STF and TUG, respectively, by running these tyres repeatedly on each of the seven test sections of motorway M10. The overall conclusion is that the three trailers gave essentially the same measurement results when using similar tyres.
