Asphalt pavement texture and noise: laboratory experiment with acoustic optimisation tool

The Danish Road Directorate (DRD) has been working together with the University of California Pavement Research Centre (UCPRC) on a project involving the laboratory testing of promising noise reducing pavement types. Pavement slabs of 12 promising asphalt mixes were produced at the UCPRC laboratory on which UCPRC performed high resolution 3D texture measurements. The results were sent to DRD who have been analysing and evaluating the acoustical performance of these pavements using the new Dutch-developed prediction tool called the Acoustic Optimisation Tool (AOT). The purpose of this report is to present this acoustical evaluation. Another purpose of this part of the project was to gain “hands on” practical experience using the AOT software tool and to evaluate the pros and cons of using the AOT for such evaluations.
